    Maria Special Chicken and Shrimp with bacon and mushrooms

    Crazy good food. The service was very quick. Food was fresh, hot and just as ordered. The menu is huge so there is more to choose from than the typical Mexican restaurant. I am sure we will be back.

    Very good salsa--no extraneous ingredients and the right amount of heat

    This place is what some friends affectionately call "dirty Mexican." I love authentic Mexican like this. It reminds me of what we could get in Florida in the early 1970's.

    Great service and they also have tv for sports and there are drinks and a lot of food options

    Deep in the country you wouldn't expect good Mexican food well guess again...this place was very good. We tried this spot why? Why not. Can't go wrong with Mexican. I know that's what she said...haha. But seriously the place, the service, the food was good!. They give you chips with a tomato based salsa...but if caliente (spicy) is your thing then just ask and they will bring you a spicy salsa. One bite and I saw a tongue go numb. Too hot? Just mix the two together and add a little lemon juice and a perfect happy medium. I ordered the #18 combination platter. A good mix of things to try. Just remember everything comes with hamburger meat. Not a carnivore then they have vegetarian options. The food was delicious and I would come here again if I'm ever in town. A place far from home but gives you a taste of what home tastes like.

    Not long ago, Brevard was inundated with Mexican restaurants. Some were good, but most had the…read moreunfortunate reality of being staffed by chauvinistic bilingual waiters who made crude, sexual comments about unsuspecting patrons. What I like about Plaza Garabalbi is the family atmosphere. The owner will come to your table and ask about your day with genuine interest. The wait staff is always friendly and attentive. When I was dressed up for a job interview once, my cashier gave me a free peppermint patty for luck. Little things like that mean a lot. I have never had to wait for a table no matter what time of day or how busy they were and the food has always been excellent. The decor is standard (paintings of rural Hispanic life, sombreros, mexican flags, futbol on the wide screens) and the expected mariachi music plays, but I enjoy the familiarity and comfort of PG. They just added some intricate carved wood tables to the bar dining area, so that will definitely set them further apart from the rest of the pack. Sink your teeth into a chicken - chorizo platter and feel like you are dining in a home away from home just north of the Southernmost border. It may not be your idea of fine Mexican dining, but everything about PG is just fine with me.

    The service was very good, nice staff, and very friendly. The lunch however was not very good. Had…read morelunch fatitas, almost no meat on the plate, and not very tasty.
