Ordered: Half Rotisserie Chicken (~$10): with 2 sides (I chose rice and fried plantain) with aji verde sauce (green sauce) Aya's take: The Rotisserie Chicken has a nice crisp and glaze on the skin and great flavor. With the aji verde sauce, it was next level! You can never go wrong with rice and fried plantains as sides. My only complaint is that I would've preferred sweet plantains instead of the fried plantains given which weren't as sweet and a bit more dry. Other than that, not a bad meal for the price point.
I took out one star because of price differences between menu and actual charged price. Most of foods were good, no salt on foods so I could add salt as much I needed on fried eggs or streaks which I loved it. Guacamole portion was bigger than other restaurants, also she gave us refilled chips. Awesome.
Ordered: Arroz Chaufa de Mariscos ($17), Arroz Chaufa de Camarones ($17) The arroz chaufa was pretty good. The sauce was decent, but not the best. It was slightly spicy, but it wasn't that flavorful. There also wasn't enough sauce for the amount of rice. Overall, good enough to satisfy my craving, but I've had better.
Well...I'll start by saying the food here is not too shabby. I'll also preface the review by saying my exposure to straight up Peruvian food is limited. I'm way more...well-versed, shall we say, in Mexican cuisine. Since this restaurant is, from what I understand, NOT a "fusion" restaurant but an eatery that offers the foods of each respective country (the restaurant was started by two families, one Peruvian and one Mexican), it's difficult for me to make an educated assessment of the food based solely on the one menu item I tried, which was the fish tacos. So here's my breakdown: CUSTOMER SERVICE: I ordered takeout so I placed my order at the counter. The energy I got from the woman who took my order was not the friendliest. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt and thanks to the pandemic and its ever-evolving impact on civilization as we once knew it, it's been a dumpster fire the last 18 months or so, especially for family and small businesses, so I'm trying to give family businesses an even bigger shot of grace. I have to be honest though- I just didn't feel that welcome. She took my order and the wait was minimal for freshly made tacos, so definite points there! :) As I was leaving I heard her say something in Spanish (inaudible to translate) and I turned around since I thought maybe I'd forgotten something. She said to me, "No I was telling them (other customers) that it was ready" or something to that effect, and then she basically waved me off to "dismiss" me, which sort of capped off the unwelcoming experience. So not the warmest service here based on my visit. ***Rating = 2/5*** FOOD: Okay, tacos aren't a traditional Peruvian food (as opposed to Lomo Saltado, for example). That said, I popped into this restaurant for dinner the other night after reading smashing reviews. Like I said above, the fish tacos were made fresh. The only thing they were lacking for me personally was a creamy sauce or condiment- I probably should have asked for a side of guacamole or chipotle sauce. *The fresh salsas included were delicious but I needed to add something crema-esque for pizazz.* I've ordered fish tacos elsewhere and the sauce is really a deal maker with fish tacos for me! It's like that saying (the one I just made up haha): "You don't know what you had until you don't get it somewhere else." -Yours Truly :) ***Rating = 3.5/5*** All in all, I've had far worse encounters in terms of customer service but I've also experienced much better. The food is, as I said, pretty good here and I would consider returning strictly to try a traditional Peruvian dish. ***Jury still out. I'll post an updated review if I return! :) ***
More or less like Mexican food ?? plz don't kill me :P Yup I heard and read the reviews and decided to go this Peruvian restaurant. It was just like next door neighborhood restaurant, nothing fancy. Service was really good and quick. We Ordered Pescado entero Mojarra Frita ( Fried Whole Tilapia with Rice-Beans & Salad), Half Polo Rotisserie Chicken and Peruvian chicken fried rice. I asked whether chicken is normal rotisserie chicken or their authentic Peruvian chicken, they said it would be their authentic one, but I did not find any diff between normal and whatever they served. My fried rice was good but it was not with scrambled egg as they described in the menu and chicken pieces were not tender. Still it was okay as sauces they served with rice were amazing. They served 4 sauces ( let me remember- Avocado-Chilli red- guacamole-Green creamy). The portions of the meals are great and the price is well worth what you pay for!
Last visit (and review) to this restaurant was pre COVID and it was great. Well, it's now post COVID and it's still great. Delicious Peruvian and/or Mexican cuisine (not a fusion) made in an authentic home made style with large satisfying portions and reasonable prices. A true family operation, run by husband, Jorge, his wife, Gloria, and daughter Emily. I think the pictures speak for themselves. Definitely recommend!
Food was delicious, the service was great, and nice clean restaurant. I definitely recommend.
I haven't been in Garibaldi Peru Mex for several years. For a long time, I was a fan of the restaurant for its quality and its value, but mostly for its authentic and flavorful cooking. Then it seemed to go downhill and I stopped going. Today I gave them another try, and happily, they seem to be back on top of their game. Despite arriving on the late side for lunch, there were people eating at the tables and a wonderful aroma of grilled meats and spices greeted me when I entered. I sat down at what appear to be new tables and chairs and perused their expansive Mexican/Peruvian menu. This is one of those places where choosing is difficult, because there are many options and they all look good. There are twenty-five different types of tacos. The corn tortilla tacos come with four to a plate and the larger flour tortilla tacos come two to a plate. Regardless of what you choose, the tacos are $11.50. Not cheap, but certainly reasonable. They happily agreed to mix two types of tacos for me, and I chose two Lengua tacos and two Al Pastor tacos. While I waited they brought out a complimentary basket of warm, freshly made tortilla chips and two house-made sauces; a spicy hot sauce that was full of flavor, and an avocado sauce. My tacos arrived quickly and I was immediately impressed by how appetizing they looked. Steam was rising off the tacos, which were filled with a generous amount of meat, and the plate was garnished with lime, sliced radishes and grilled scallions. The tortillas were warm and tasted fresh. Both the Lengua and the Al Pastor where crispy, juicy and tasted great. A squeeze of lime and a drizzle of the home-made sauce made these tacos pop with extra flavor. The service was warm, quick and friendly. I'm so happy that Garibaldi Peru Mex is back on my list of go-to places, and I look forward to going again soon.
The food was good and the place was nicely kept. The service was also good , although it's covid and indoor dining is very limited .they made sure to follow proper guidelines and still offer enough seating with social distancing ( happy about that ) I had to take 1 star off because the Tacos Al Pastor were extremely greasy ! So bad to the point that I had to keep tabbing a napkin on them to soak up the grease . I've had them before else where and it's never been that bad .
Important Note: This restaurant would really rather you not use any of the delivery services because they've had problems with time and food being cold. So just call for pick up. I promise you, it's worth it. Also, super easy to pick up. Park, go in and pay, and get your noms on! This is an unassuming place hidden in a strip mall between an Indian Restaurant and a bike store. My friends and I wanted Mexican (because hey Taco Tuesdays are a highlight in COVID times). We looked up this place and said "Hey why not?" I'm so glad we did. We ordered several types of tacos, a half chicken with beans and yucca fries, and a fish soup. The quality was superb, everything tasted so fresh and so good. It's like someone's abuela (grandmother), spent all day making the corn tortillas and all the fillings. Chicken was nice and juicy, and all the side sauces are awesome. This place is legit; I got the Lengua (tongue) tacos and the Tacos de Cabeza (meat from the head of the pig, so think cheek meats). I wish I had gotten pictures with all the food, but it was so amazing that we inhaled it! So the picture below is a leftover of the Tacos de Cabeza and the Tacos de Lengua. So for your next Taco Tuesday, please consider this place. Especially in these difficult times, good food and good service deserve to shine!
Like many others have said, the Lomo Saltado de Carne is the way to go! I initially thought the meat would be a bit dry, but it was definitely the opposite of that. Laying on a bed of fries, the sauces and juices from the meat made it extra tasty. Free pita chips & sauce when you dine in! It was an empty restaurant when we were there, but it seemed like they forgot to give them to us. They're nice if you just ask for them though!
Good stuff! Food was fresh & made quick! Very friendly staff & they give you plenty with condiments. Lovely woman behind the counter offered to sanitize my hands after I paid! Will definitely order from there again!
Let's Talk TACOS!! here at Garibaldi they're serving up some seriously delicious eats that just can't be beat. Talking about one of the largest selection of Loaded Tacos that I've ever seen around here locally. Offering everything from: Al Pastor, Lengua, Chuleta, Pollo, Bisteck, Carnitas, Pescado, Cabeza, Suadero, Tripa, Alambre, Chorizo and a whole lot more. Plus you can get them on your choice of Corn or Flour Tortillas to boot. You'll find Classic Peruvian Plates here as well, with variations of Lomo Saltado and Ceviche highlighted on this deliciously infused menu which is just full of amazing and diverse dining options. I noticed their Rotisserie Chicken in the back that was spinning away and calling out to my tastebuds but that's gonna have to wait for another day, Lol Anyway, my first hand experience has been a very positive one and I thoroughly enjoyed devouring my Carnita Street Taco Platter. I thought it was Super Flavorful in every way possible, or as I like to say !! YUMMMMMMERS !! Yelp likes it when I talk about ambiance and service too, so I'll add that the decor is colorfully bright and full of Cactus plus Service here is very friendly. Come And Get Your Munch On!! read more

Good spot. Went in here on Yelp recommendations. It is located in a strip mall on Rt 46. The place is nothing fancy on the inside. A woman who appeared to be the owner was serving people. She quickly brought wine glasses. They were dirty but she immediately changed them when I brought it to her attention. I tried the guacamole for an appetizer. It was great. Very fresh. For my meal I had the tacos al pastor with corn tortillas. Excellent flavor. Everything was fresh and brought out quickly. BYOB. read more

Came here for dinner on a Tuesday night and was a little thrown off at first when I walked in since I wasn't sure if I was supposed to seat myself at a table or go up to the counter to order something lol. The place kind of looks like a hole in the wall so I was a bit confused. My friend and I ordered the guacamole with chips as an appetizer and man was it delicious!! It was very fresh and the amount was very generous. We also ordered the passionfruit drink which was very good as well. We then ordered the Lomo Saltado and tacos (Fish and Lamb) as our entrees to share. The lady working was very nice and let us do a substitution. She let us order 2 Fish and 2 Lamb tacos instead of 4 of the same tacos. When we got the food, I didn't think the tacos were that great. They tasted a bit bland to me and I kind of wished there wasn't so much tortilla. The Lomo Saltado was decent but nothing special. The service was great (but that could of been because there was just one other table when I was there) but if I want real good Peruvian food, I would not come here for that. read more

I absolutely love places like this! Completely unassuming and serving great food at a great value! As I've been traveling back and forth to New Jersey for work, I've grown to like Peruvian food more and more. There really are some great options in the area. I saw that this particular place had strong reviews and it was only a few minutes away from the clients office that my next meeting was with. When I walked in the smell of the rotisserie chicken immediately made my mouth water. The lady at the register was very helpful in pointing me to the best section on the menu which can be difficult to spot amongst the dozens and dozens of dishes they offer. I ordered the 1/2 chicken with rice and beans and a side of tostones!! It only took about 5 minutes for the kitchen to plate everything up and deliver it to my table and boy oh boy did it all look and taste amazing!! The chicken was hot and juicy, the rice and beans were flavorful, and the tostones were hot and perfectly crispy. I was even able to try all 4 of their sauces, which was a plus given my lack of knowing what any of the sauces were called lol. Any time I'm in the area and have enough time to stop here I'm going to make it my business to do so.. even if its just for a snack on the road to my next meeting. read more

I finally gave this place a shot and it was wonderful. I think this is a great fast-casual lunchtime café, featuring a Mexican/Peruvian menu. It's decorated with South American artwork and many(!!) lovely plants, and has two TVs playing colorful pop videos at a pleasant low volume. The owner (I assume) was very kind and welcoming! The food was great - and what was really exceptional was the price. Only $10 for a burrito, fries, and avocado dip, and table service too. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

I love Peruvian food so much but in my area there is only one and it's not authentic at all. I accidentally found Garibaldi and let me tell you I was so happy. Very nice friendly people and delicious food. Portions were huge and full of flavor. Wish I lived closer, I would order all the time. Lomo saltado was enough for two people. Beef was thin sliced and so tender. Sevice fresh and just right amount of spices. read more
Never knew this place existed until one of my friends recommended it. The food is delicious and simple. It's a small restaurant with a few tables, simple menu with Peruvian and Mexican choices. The owners are very sweet and the food is even better! Definitely give them a try if you're in the area! read more

Chicken was oily and bland. Plantains were over ripe to point of being mushy. Don't believe the meal was fresh. This is definitely reheated chicken. Only checked them out because I was washing clothes next door. The salad was edible. This the two stars read more

Garibaldi is a simply amazing hidden gem tucked away into a little strip mall. The chips and trio of salsas reminded me of the type you get in Mexico. Those doubly thick crispy chips and salsa that hits you with a quick kick in the beginning followed by a lingering flavor of smokiness or tang depending on the type. We started with the excellent guac and also ordered some tasty homemade horchata and Jamaica (hibiscus) drinks. I had the costillas de res- a short rib with cactus and charros frijoles. It was excellent. The beans were addictive with little bits of sausage that have it a deep flavor of smoky richness. Also ordered were the mole enchiladas, chilaquiles verdes, tacos dorados, and the bandeja paisa. Everything was out of this world. I'm already planning my next meal to be a ceviche and tacos combo!! Service was a bit disorganized but so friendly and willing to give tons of suggestion and recommendations and tweak the dishes to our preferred spice levels. BYO, too! read more
