Imee C.

Wanted to try Mexican food here in Denver. This place is next to a gas station/convenience store. We ordered to go. Had the carne asada burrito and it was just okay. It was a different style of burrito. Not something like I've had in San Diego. Tortilla seemed like it was store bought. Will I come back here again? No. But service was great in this casual place.

The epitome of "don't judge a book by its cover." Some of the best Mexican food I've had. My absolute go-to is the Huarache with cecina. The service is quick and very friendly! Weekends are very crowded, so we try to go for a weekday lunch when there's a higher chance to get a table pretty quickly. This is a must every time we go to Denver.

Enchiladas Verdes (green enchiladas)
Paola U.

I heard great things about this place and well it was just, ok. Glad I gave it a try though. Service: great. Nothing to say here but that I was greeted as I walked in and everyone else was too. Quickly asked "for here or to go" and throughout our dine in the young lady checked in on us. She gave us to go boxes and Togo cup for my agua fresca. Food: now for the food . . . It was just OK to me nothing over the top nothing spectacular. Based on the hype and reviews this place had, my expectations were quite high. Nonetheless not the best Mexican food I've had or the worst. What we ordered: Tacos: 3/5 ok Enchiladas: 3/5 Asada plate: 3/5 Asada fries: 3/5 Horchata: 4/5 yummy and not too sweet - but tasted more like coconut agua fresca Jamaica: 5/5 yummy, tart not too sweet Salsas : 5/5 Ambiance: cute, no complaints loved the authentic feel and Mexican music playing in the background

Asada sope
Renaye V.

I was so excited to try this place since it got so many goo reviews. Our server was not very friendly, the food was very bland and over cooked. The chips were stale and the horchata tasted off. The restaurant was bigger than I expected and pretty clean. I really can't recommend anything we got. Sope was undercooked Asada was ground and dry Rice was so bland, no color to it either Chorizo burrito had no flavor Carnitas were very dry

Enchiladas Aztecas with carnitas
Brian J.

Was working around this area and decided to eat here for lunch. Located in a gas station, but they have plenty of room. Place is also very clean! I ordered the Enchiladas Aztecas with Carnitas. I like the taste of the cactus, but the carnitas were very salty. The corn tortillas were also tough, like they had been sitting out for a while. I think I would have enjoyed the dish more if I didn't have the carnitas.

Torta Milanesa
Amy R.

Grabbed a to-go Torta Milanesa today for lunch and it is sooo good! I wish I had time to eat there because they had amazing live music.

Chorizo Burrito
Megan H.

Hot damn that was an awesome breakfast burrito!! I got mine with chorizo, and split it with someone. I asked for the green chili on the side rather than smothered. But it also came with two salsas which were sooo good I'll probably skip the green chili next time. I waited 4-5min for the burrito and could barely contain my excitement while I heard everything cooking in the kitchen. The restaurant wasn't busy today, but it was clean and a fun spot I want to come back to. Some Google reviews said these were small burritos, but not today! This one was huge!

Nachos
Kylie C.

I like to use Yelp for good, in this case I'm doing good to the world by recommending you NOT eat here. The service was slow, the waitress did not check on us during the meal or offer refills, I had to chase her down to pay the bill. The agua fresca was bitter. My biggest gripe was my plate of Nachos, where the cheese was shredded and MICROWAVED. I had asked for multiple topping to be put on the side and they never brought them. I paid $15 for chips, some lettuce and a drizzle of sour cream. Not worth the price. A small hole in the wall which did not deliver, a dirty messy excuse of a restaurant.

Vegan Huarache - freshly made corn tortilla topped with refried beans and lots of vegetables. Delicious
Sadie D.

We loved our experience at Garibaldi. Friends took us there not knowing we are vegans. The owner customized food for us and it was delicious! We will definitely be back. Unusual dishes that we loved. It is in the same building as a gas station so it is a little hard to find.

Huaraches with carne asada, close up. Beef tasted old and was pretty chewy. Overall flavor was good and masked the old meat taste.
Nika T.

Nice service and enjoyable complimentary chips and spicy salsa. My husband and I both opted to try the huaraches. I got mine with carne Asada and he got his with half chorizo and al pastor. My asada had a crumbled beef look to it and tasted kind of "old" and chewy if I ate a bite on its own. With the rest of the toppings and sauces on the huaraches it was fine but I was disappointed it had an old beef taste to it and wasn't fresh and tender. My husband said his meet toppings were also rather chewy and disappointing. I would go back and try them again, but not on a Monday, when it seems like their meats aren't very fresh.

Pambazos... HUGE!
Sarah H.

What Garibaldi lacks in ambiance it makes up for in flavor. As much as I love Tex-Mex, when you want a unique menu that's a little more authentic to actual Mexican food, Garibaldi it where you want to go. They have a great selection on the menu and after about ten visits I've yet to be disappointed by anything I've tried. They are also worth following on Facebook so you can find out what their (always amazing) weekend specials are.

Sometimes you don't need culinary fireworks. Sometimes you need a place that feels like someone is…read moregenuinely happy you walked through the door. Adelitas is that place. I grabbed a seat at the bar where the bartender was friendly and engaging. On a recent Wednesday at 7:15, the restaurant was packed. When I left around 8:30, it was still busy. That's usually the best review a restaurant can get. Loyal customers don't keep coming back out of habit. They come back because it feels like home. The all-day happy hour margarita for $9 certainly doesn't hurt. The second one arrives before you've had time to argue yourself out of it. I ordered the enchiladas with carne asada and their house mole. If you're expecting one of those intensely complex moles with enough ingredients to fill a pantry, this isn't that. Adelitas' version is comforting, approachable, and deeply homey. It tastes less like a culinary experiment and more like something your abuela has been making for decades. The carne asada was tender, the rice and beans were exactly what they should be, and every bite reminded me why comfort food never goes out of style. Before leaving, I made the smartest decision of the evening. Tres leches to go. I devoured it later at home while Netflix asked if I was still watching. The cake somehow manages to be light while completely satisfying. Don't skip it. Better yet, don't pretend you're saving it for tomorrow. Adelitas isn't trying to impress you. It's trying to feed you well, welcome you warmly, and send you home happier than when you arrived. Whether your abuela was Mexican...or Greek...you'll understand exactly what they're serving here.

How should a restaurant make it right after a sickly looking mouse hobbles by our table while we…read moreare eating? (Needless to say we did NOT finish our food and immediately left) Before we left we alerted the staff and they acted like it was a common occurrence and proceeded to beat the mouse to death in front of our table with my 2 year old grandson watching. I WISH I WAS JOKING. They didn't offer to comp our lunch bill or take accountability or offer a real apology. Instead they made excuses that the mice sometimes just happen to come in. After we left I asked Google how a good restaurant owner should respond and this is what a hould have happened: This is an incredibly distressing experience, and the restaurant needs to take immediate, significant action to address both the severe hygiene failure and the psychological impact of witnessing that violence in front of your child. To make this right, the restaurant ownership and management should immediately take the following steps: 1. Financial Redress & Immediate Apology Comp the entire meal: Your bill should be completely wiped out. If you already paid, they must issue a full refund immediately. Provide formal compensation: A reputable business should offer additional compensation (such as a substantial gift certificate or direct financial gesture) along with a formal, written apology from the owner acknowledging the severity of the incident. 2. Immediate Health & Safety Measures Voluntary temporary closure: The restaurant should voluntarily close its doors immediately to address the pest issue. Professional pest control: They must hire an emergency extermination service to inspect the premises, seal entry points, and eradicate the infestation. Deep cleaning: The entire front-of-house and kitchen areas must be professionally sanitized. I did attempt to contact the owner, Oscar, numerous times same day to discuss calmly and provide him an opportunity to do the right thing but kept getting the brush off each time I tried to contact him. This is so disappointing in many ways. This was our favorite Mexican restaurant in Englewood and it's been severely tainted, not only by the obvious rodent issues but also by the lack of accountability and willingness to at least attempt to do the right thing. I hope the $80 was worth the bad review and no longer will I recommend this restaurant to friends and family as I used to. :(

So... I went here to use the bathroom, and got a watermelon cucumber drink. It is so good, like if…read moreJesus was a drink, this would be it. Soooooo good.
