Garibaldis draws consistent praise for its birria tacos and enchiladas in a clean, modern dining room that reads more upscale than a typical Mexican restaurant. The salsa flight—three housemade salsas at varying heat levels—is a reliable starter. Reservations are recommended on weekends.

One reviewer says...

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!
