We ordered takeout from Fonda Garibaldi and tried the steak and salmon with fingerling potatoes. The steak had a nice smoky kick, was nicely charred, and cooked medium rare, which I appreciated. It came with rice and beans plus guac on the side. The rice and beans could've been better, but the guac was good. The pan roasted salmon was cooked well done yet still flavorful, served with a delicious white mole sauce that hit the spot for me that evening. The corn was too tart and lacked that grilled street corn style I was expecting. On the bright side, the churros was a satisfying sweet finish to the meal. If you're in the neighborhood craving modern Mexican cuisine, it's worth checking out. My food was packed and served up nicely and still warm, so I can only imagine they put real care into their prep and service.

Came here yesterday and it is always a solid choice for their fish tacos. I have tried both their short ribs and steak and was not a fan. ( a bit dry for my liking) Sadly they didn't have pina colada when I came yesterday cause I remmebered it being really good. The lady told me it was seasonal. I have tried their steak churasco before as well and it is good with. Smoky flavor. Definitely a big portion so if you order that it's probably best to share. If you are on the area I recommend coming to try their fish tacos!

Tried something new! The tortilla soup with short rib and Garibaldi Mix Greens Salad Queso fresco, cherry tomatoes, heirloom beans salsita, cabbage slaw, pickled onions, Mexican chipotle dressing, added shrimp. Both were do good, but the soup... can't wait to have it again and I'm not even a big soup person. Ordered for pickup and it was ready on time and service is always pleasant.

Food was good. Small cozy place. For cokes, make sure you specify if you want can coke or glass bottle coke. I think they default to glass coke. They also charge 3% extra for credit card transaction.

I love Fonda Garibaldi. Period.Stop. This is my go to Mexican spot and Ive been ordering regularly for over a year now and have never been dissapointed. All the taco optios are amazing. My faves are the Chorizo,the fish,Al Pastor and Carnitas but Ive tried every taco on the menu and not a clunker in the bunch. If you want something more substantial the Guajillo rubbed Baby Back Ribs are terrific. The sauce is perfectly smokey its served with a large side of Mac and Cheese which me not liking Mac and Cheese at all i gave to my friend and she loved it but next time im gonna ask if i can swap it out for rice n beans which they make really well. The fried plantains are good and they make amazing fried Calamari as well. Everytime i order they toss in a small bag of chips and a cup of salsa gratis which is such a nice touch. This is an elevated Mexican spot and one I highly recommend.

Beautiful, cozy, warm place to stop and eat. Would highly recommend, their food was so flavorful and juicy! We thought we got too much by sharing two apps and two mains, but it was literally so good we wiped the plates out. Service was friendly and kind, everyone was nice to us and our 8mo old son. Will be back! Thank yuuu

This is allegedly chicken tinga tacos which have no chipotle sauce whatsoever
Ozzie C.

Very disappointing. First of all I ordered on Seamless and just know the time estimate is about a third of the actual time you'll wait. About 40 minutes after I ordered I get a call that they don't have crabmeat for the soups I ordered, they offered me butternut squash which is hardly an equivalent and i don't like squash. Anyway they made the soup with shrimp alone which was supposed to be with crabmeat. Soup was good, a bit spicy which was fine but far too much zucchini. The tamales with cheese were also good, tasty. Biggest disappointment and what I recommend staying away from is the chicken tinga taco. If you read the description you're expecting chicken in a chipotle sauce which we all know what that looks like. What I didn't expect is shredded chicken drowned on top by a combo of guacamole and sour cream. After taking all of that off as I also don't like guac and it isn't mentioned in description I was left with the chicken you see in the picture shredded chicken which I added medium hot sauce to because there isn't the slightest hint of chipotle. All in all it was a disappointing experience and I won't be going back. After waiting 50 minutes or more I was expecting to walk into a busy restaurant with take out orders waiting to go yet it was completely empty and no other orders.

Tempura fish tacos

I ordered takeout from this restaurant for the first time last week and it was amazing! I got the tempura fish tacos and they were crispy and full of flavor. The lunch special also came with very tasty rice and beans. The chicken and rice bowl also tasted great. Everything was very affordable. The restaurant itself is small but it's really clean and nicely decorated. The cashier was also very friendly! Looking forward to coming back :)

Short rib bowl - fantastic!
Sharon W.

Wow wow wow. Best Mexican food we've had in a very very long time. Ordered delivery tonight which included the short rib bowl and chicken quesadilla. Everything was cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. Will definitely be ordering from them again in the very near future.

I came here with a friend on a weekday night. We were seated right away. We got 4 things on the menu and it was under $60 before tips. The food was tasty and portions were generous. The steak was very tender with a bit a char, I highly recommend getting that! Tacos were $7 for two, they were great value and yummy. I appreciate the staff came to check on the table a few times for water and chips/salsa refills but food took a bit longer than expected to arrive.

Unlike the first few times I came here, their steak and eggs suffered a bit in terms of flavor and presentation. As you can see in comparison, the steak photo I took initially a year ago was a lot more vibrant, tasty, and aesthetically pleasing. This time the steak was very bitter and overly charred to the point where all you can taste is the char instead of the steak. However, it was indeed cooked medium rare, which was great. The beef rib bowl we got was also a bit tough instead of moist and tender like it used to be. Nonetheless, the price is still incredibly reasonable and definitely worth a try! Please give them a try and I hope they can fix these issues (: Thank you for reading and good luck!

The vibe is great! The staff was very nice and on point. Their drinks were great! We had the Rosalita frozen. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious! We loved their guacamole, homemade chips and homemade tortillas! Wow! I loved how they spread it out for the table. We had a great time here and enjoyed every bite!

Some dining experiences stay with you long after the last bite, and my recent visit to Kahlo was…read moreexactly that kind of evening. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere struck the right balance -- warm and elegant without feeling stiff, the kind of space that quietly says you're in good hands tonight. The food was exceptional. The menu draws from the culinary traditions of Puebla and Guadalajara, and that regional intentionality really comes through on the plate. We started with the guacamole -- fresh, hand-crafted, bright with lime and perfectly salted -- and it set the tone for everything that followed. The tuna tostadas were a highlight: delicate, layered, and assembled with real care. For the main, the branzino was cooked with the kind of precision you'd expect from a kitchen that clearly takes its craft seriously -- flaky, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The handcrafted cocktails were equally impressive; creative without being gimmicky, and strong enough to mean it. But what truly elevated the evening was our server, Sharon. In a restaurant where the food is already doing a lot of the heavy lifting, Sharon somehow managed to be the standout of the whole experience. She was attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without being performative, and genuinely warm in a way that felt completely natural rather than scripted. She read the table perfectly -- knew when to give us space and when to pop by with a recommendation -- and her enthusiasm for the menu was contagious. When she suggested the mole-based dish, she described it with such affection that we ordered it without hesitation. She was right, of course. Sharon is the kind of server who reminds you that hospitality is truly an art form. Kahlo is lucky to have her, and anyone dining there should count themselves lucky if she's their guide for the evening. We will absolutely be back. Highly, enthusiastically recommended.

Was able to make a last minute reservation on a Saturday night. I'll start by saying the food was…read moregood - especially the mole de pollo campestre (chicken) and lubina zarandeado (sea bass). The chicken was super tender and the sea bass was so soft, both had delicious flavors. Other items we ordered for the table were the guac (underseasoned), octopus, black truffle esquites, and tacos. The other stand out item was the tres leches for dessert. Unfortunately, the service was not good. The table next to us sat down after us, but got their food first, while we waited over an hour before our mains arrived. Overall, most of the food was overpriced, but the taste did make up a little for the lack of service.
