Garibaldi Mexican Restaurant

The food here is amazing. Now that Baja Burrito is closed andDon Pablo’s we needed a new place for great Mexican and we found it. I ordered the vegan fajita which has cauliflower and broccoli with onions and mushrooms with carrots and yellow squash. The salsa is awesome and they have authentic fried ice cream

Restaurant looks older, but the food and service was very good. We order a fried chimmichunga, taquitos, 3 item combination platter, guacamole and queso with chips. All the items were fresh and tasted amazing. The rice was real Mexican rice, not the standard Tex-Mex style you get elsewhere. My son had chicken strips and fries and the strips were made with real chicken in house. We also ordered a lime margarita and it was also extremely well.

We started off our meal like all other Mexican food restaurants with chips and salsa but it wasn't just that. The salsa was perfectly balanced with a hint of spice and a tomato base that wasn't too acidic like other Mexican places. The chips had a nutty flavor to them, the oil was either peanut or sesame or both. It was difficult for me to tell but delicious none the less. I had to have a tortilla soup prior because of the cold days here in Florida, which aren't that bad lol. Each bite gave me chills, the chicken stalk was refreshing and rejuvenating. The crispy tortilla strips were still crunchy throughout the bowl. They used shredded chicken and a half an avocado for color, crunchy onions and a bit of tomato to thicken the flavor base of the stock. I always gauge a traditional Mexican restaurant by their mole because mole is the most difficult sauce to make. So my first trip to this restaurant I ordered the Poblano mole enchiladas. The poblano chiles provide a nice earthy flavor and a very subtle spice that climbs gradually and peaks at a perfect level of bluntness and remains throughout your meal. It was made with shredded chicken but I believe it would be even better with a salted and savory beef. Something to enhance the flavor a little more and give it dimension. Aside from that I would say there's the perfect level of chocolatey sweetness and as it cools the taste of the chocolate comes out. Overall its love at first bite and I will be back.

This was a nice sit down restaurant. My husband and I enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was pretty good. I enjoyed the service and the cleanliness. We had the guacamole enchiladas and the garlic shrimp. The prices were quite fair and the food portions didnt disappoint. As we left we saw a mariachi player in full uniform. That was around 6 on a Saturday. They have a full bar and great happy hour specials. The layout was handicap accessible.

Discovered this place by accident on rainy Monday lunch break, when my favorite Thai place was closed. I was quickly seated, ordered a hot of hot water, and a off the menu vegetarian quesadia that was loaded with peppers mushrooms cheese beans and had sour cream guac and pico de gaio on the side. It was so good, one of the best I had. Coming just moved from los Angeles, this Mexican places in Orlando gave me a taste of home with quick service and great prices. I was able to get in and out quickly, server sense that I was in a hurry.
