Garibaldis

“I have made so many plans to go to Garbaldi's with some of my friends and they never stuck. Today, today our plans to go were going to stick and I was so excited about it! Garbaldi's has been around for a hot minute. It's right down the road from my house and it's been a bummer that it's taken this long for me to come check this joint out. Of course the night before, I stalked their menu online to see what kind of lunch options they had. They offer quite a few things that caught my eye so I needed to make my final lunch decisions when I got there. Everything sounded so good! I met my boss/ friend for lunch today. Walking in, the esthetic of this joint is very clean and simple, not a lot of color. The windows that were decorated were simple and fine lined. I liked the look of this place. The wood, black detailing, pretty light fixtures. Most Mexican joints in have been to are very colorful and vibrant which adds to the experience. So, it was quite unexpected to see such a different esthetic. I appreciate the classic simplicity of this venue. Trey served us today. He got drinks started for us. We worked on our salsa flight while drinks were getting made. My go to is a mango margarita at every Mexican joint I go to. And boy did my drink not disappoint today. That baby was nicely blended, tart and tasty! I love the tajin on the rim of my cup. My drink was beautifully executed! Trey gave me every ounce of that drink that was blended into my cup. It overflowed and I enjoyed every part of it! For lunch I ordered the 2 enchiladas with shredded beef. It also came with a gracious side of beans and a helping of rice. I slapped some sour cream onto the enchilada and it was so good! The shredded beef was so tender and flavorful. The cheese was perfectly melted on top. The enchilada sauce was rich in color and flavor, it enhance the flavors of everything. The rice, where do I begin, Fluffy, flavorful and delicious! I love rice in general but this rice was fantastic! The beans were savory and creamy. My favorite is mixing the rice and beans togther as a bite, so good! I can't believe I could have been coming here for long time and it took until now to stop in. My husband isn't a very adventurous eater so I'm stuck waiting for friends to try different spots. I have been better going out on my own and enjoying different foods. This joint is going to have to be one of them. Just coming by myself, getting another fabulous margarita and a huge plate of delicious Mexican food! I look forward to my left overs for dinner and I look forward to my next visit to Garbaldi's!“

“Amazing food & service. The restaurant is clean and well lit. All of the employees greeted us and asked how everything was. Isaiah was our server. He was super friendly and attentive. The food is great. Try the fish and birria tacos! 👌 The salsa is stupendous. Especially the hot. They put pineapple and it blends with the heat perfectly. I was very impressed with the chocoflan! It's so decadent.“

“First timer here. We finished up at expo Idaho and come over here for a late night dinner. I was astonished how nice everyone was at 9:45pm at night. No complaints about being there too late. We came in with a group of four. The service was awesome. Our waters were full, food came out in a timely manner, we were checked on several times, food tasted amazing. I definitely come back here. Highly recommend. The pineapple salsa and ceviche was great!“

“We wanted to try this place for the first time. We were surprised that we had to pay $6 for chips and salsa. And $1 more for bean dip. We were given 3 versions of salsa but all 3 were too spicy. We sent it back but we still had to pay for it. I love chili rejondo but it was way too spicy and the worst I ever had. I could not eat much of it either. My husband said his enchiladas were good but way too much cheese. The service was good but we won’t go back because of the food.“

“Overall, great food, awesome drinks. Some slightly unusual things that they do here. 1. They charge extra for credit card, I think 3%. 2. Happy hour is per person, so it’s buy one get one free drinks… That means you are for sure drinking two drinks. You’re not supposed to give one to someone else at the table… 3. Our food came out a little bit at different times, there were lots of great staff, helping to bus and get your leftovers put away. But it was hard to grab our server. They were willing to substitute something in the kids menu for my son. We really appreciated that. We will be back.“
