Garibaldi Mexican Bistro

Excellent food in a unique location!
–As with a couple other posters, I’ve seen a lot of restaurants go in and out of this location for the past several years. This one is the best in my opinion.
This is one of my new favorite Mexican restaurants. The food had lots of flavor, the waiter (the owner) was nice, and it was a cozy place. Presentation was beautiful
We had cheese enchiladas with a green sauce, chili rellenos, the cheese dip, and chips & salsa, and a horchata. All delicious!
They have an amazing-​looking flat bread dish that I’m going to try next time I go.
Highly recommend!

Not what you would expect from a gas station mexican restaurant. Ingredients are fresh and the food is tasty. I have visited the last five (in about four years) restaurants that have occupied this space. This one is the best and I hope it lasts!

One of my biggest pet peeves is businesses that do not adhere to their published hours. I showed up at 8pm (supposedly this business closes at 10pm).
The gentleman working at the restaurant told me they were closed for a «private party». There was no one in sight. I wish I could comment on the food…
Unfortunately for me this left me with subpar choices.

Quite a pleasant surprise. Good looking plating, great flavors, and not a bad price. We went late at night and they happily served us even though it was close to closing time. The service was spot on and while the seating area leaves a bit to be desired I felt welcomed. This location has been a revolving door of business, it is a rather poor choice with little street visibility. I hope they can find a market here as I want to add it to my list of late night options.

A lot of restaurants with different concepts have come and gone from this somewhat awkward location located on the north side of the Conoco gas station near Hampden and Broadway. I haven’t eaten at all of them, but my wife and I stopped in for dinner at Garibaldi, and they’re doing it right.
I had the chili relleno, and it was good, but my wife’s burrito really stole the show. Our meal opened with the obligatory chips and salsa. Here, I’ll point out that everything at Garibaldi is made fresh. The salsa had a decent kick to it, but it didn’t hurt my gringo palate (or my wife’s).
Everything at Garibaldi was plated beautifully. Truly, we eat with our eyes. Don’t judge this restaurant because of its odd location. Go inside, order something, and see the art that comes out of the kitchen. As an added bonus, it tastes good, too.
My wife and I finished our meals with the house-​made churros and an order or chocolate flan cake that was also house-​made. We chatted with the young owner throughout our meal. It’s exciting to see someone who’s so enthusiastic about his craft. The chocolate flan cake was on the house — I suppose he enjoyed the conversation, too.
I inquired about the name Garibaldi because it seemed to be an odd name for a mexican restaurant. Garibaldi is the name of a large market in Mexico City, and the owner’s concept is to serve Mexico City style Mexican food. There are a couple of non-​traditional items on the menu, though; demand for those items is just too high for him to ignore.
This was one of the best, most personal experiences we’ve had in a restaurant for a while. Choose Garibaldi for personal service, delicious, fresh-​made food, and excellent plating.
