Garibaldi Mexican Restaurant

Amazing hole in the wall bar with authentic Mexican and it's affordable. Will def be back

My favorite Mexican places are hole in the wall kind of places. Garibaldi was EXACTLY what I wanted. My friends and I stopped here on a rainy Saturday looking for good tacos and margaritas. We ended up trying the guac and queso which were amazing. Possibly the BEST lengua taco I have ever had along with $4 margs. The food here is amazing, the staff is wonderful and the company is cheerful. Prices can't be beat. If you love good people and good food look no further than this place.

If you want good casual Mexican food come here. It's one of those places with fresh warm chips and salsa, reasonable prices, and friendly service. we came in around 530pm on a Friday and we're the only ones there, so we sat at the bar and got friendly and quick service from the bartender. The place started to fill up by the time we left. i got the chimichangas with cheese $11, and my boyfriend got 4 tacos at $3 each. The chimichangas were delicious and smothered in cheese! Lots of cheese, rice, sour cream, and pico on the side. The music was a little loud but it added to the experience. Can't wait to go back

Place is amazing. The music on a Saturday and the food was fantastic. Really friendly crowd and sweet people who truly care. If you enjoy Latin Mexican authentic food this place is for you. Hidden gem.

I just wanted a hangover chimichanga swimming in cheese. :/ I generally enjoy their food.They want more words in order to post so here are more words. Word. Word. Word.

We went here for dinner last night based on someone's recommendation. The outside looks like a typical hole in the wall place. You would never think to stop here just based on the outside appearance. When we got inside, the hostess was very friendly and welcoming. They had Karaoke music as well as a woman that worked there who would sing regularly. I had Steak fajitas, my son had a steak and my wife had Shrimp ala Mexicana. The meals were plentiful and very tasty. Baskets of great chips and salsa!Most of the staff and customers spoke primarily Spanish. The table of guys next to us were ordering buckets of iced down bottles of Modelo beer. I had one and it was a great compliment to the food. When we were done with dinner, the waitress came over with shots of Don Julio Blanco tequila, "On the House"! We will be back!

Have I ever written a 1 star review before?! Well this place most definitely deserves it. First there were two security guards with metal detector wands checking everyone before entering. Signs on the door "no firearms allowed". Reluctantly we emptied our pockets. Upon entering smaller establishment seemed clean enough. The music was blaring loud. There was live karaoke going on. That's okay we figured we'd enjoy the atmosphere along with our meal. Service was beyond terrible no cold mugs for beer they offer canned sodas and bottled water so you're charged for every refill. Chips tasted old and greasy. And salsa left much to be desired. When we ordered our server wrote nothing down and could not remember our order for anything. I could recite it now being the next day as it was just regular menu items for 4 people nothing crazy. He even revisited the table on two occasions to specify chicken or steak. I checked in on Yelp as we sat down and ordered our meal and an hour and 15 minutes later I had had enough. I asked if we could pay for our drinks and just leave. He apologized and said the manager would comp our food if we just paid for our drinks. Reluctantly agreed, paid $14 for one beer two Cokes and one water. And asked if we could have her food to go. They agreed. 20 minutes later we get our food. By now we've been here over an hour and a half I could not get out of there fast enough. When we got home I realized they didn't even put cheese on my chimichangas! You can't have chimichangas without cheese! The food was marginal at best. Would never ever ever return.

great bargain for quality food. Waitress Alejandra was muy Bonita and a little slow on my drink ,chips, and salsa refills,it was a bit busy for soccer games

I have to admit, on first drive by of this restaurant, your initial thoughts you should be "wow, that place looks sketchy". But, if you can get past the bullet holes (yes, multiple) on the front windows, it's actually quite a find.The waitstaff is super friendly. And patient to the english-speaking crowd. They have fantastic lunch specials- $5.50 for a plate of tacos, enchiladas, chimichangas, or taco salad. The enchiladas were delicious- and came with sour cream, guac, rice and beans. My friend had a $4 margarita that I salivated over all lunch (I had to go to work so I settled on a diet coke). He got a classic one, but they had several different flavors including mango and strawberry. Our meal total (margarita and soda included) came to $17. I am a fan of taco bus- but I'm pretty sure the prices can't compare to these deals.I look forward to more visits to Garibaldi once I move to the area!

Why 3 stars? Because there's not a ton to love. --- --- ---I have lived walking distance from Garibaldi for years and have managed to never once visit until recently. I don't think a return visit will be in the cards. It's not horrible, but I think Taco Bus is definitely better, more convenient, and open 24/7. Oh... it's also less scary and less bullet-hole-y. Yes, there are bullet shaped holes in the wall.My fajitas were... ok. My queso seemed decent at first, but felt more on the cheap side as the bites went on. There were some very loud locals that enjoyed screaming, and doing so often. I don't mean to sound old, but sometimes those young kids* just get too loud these days.*Young kids denotes men twice my age, that also happen to be very loud. Kid-like, if you will.Oh... the highlight were the flavored margaritas. I don't think they were very strong, but they were damn delicious.
