Her first role for the public was playing the lead role in Maria Antonia, by Eugenio Hernandez Espinosa, in a Havana theatre production when she was 17. In the U.S., García started learning English by studying with teachers and dialect coaches. She began booking commercials. She began ballet studies at the Debby Allen Dance Academy, while continuing her acting studies. García booked her first U.S. feature film role playing opposite Marisa Tomei in Danika.

García moved on to CSI: Miami and CSI: NY roles, feature film From Mexico with Love, then landed her big break as series regular, Sofía Lugo, in the Golden Globe Award winning Fox television series, Prison Break. During the 2007 writer's strike, García made it through multiple rounds of auditions for the Bond girl, Camille Montes, in MGM and Eon Productions' Quantum of Solace, but had to be dropped due to a clause in her Fox contract.

After Prison Break, she played the principal guest role of Anna in A&E's series The Cleaner, and later appeared in the feature film Rehab. García has worked as a co-writer and co-creator for TV and film projects.
