One of my favorite dining experiences is when you're just enjoying good food with friends and everything speaks for itself. That's exactly what I found at Garibaldi Mexican Bistro. It's located on South Broadway next to a gas station, very unassuming from the outside, but the food really delivers. I ordered the pambazo with chorizo and it might be my new favorite sandwich. The bread was perfectly soaked and crisped, and the chorizo was flavorful without being greasy. I had recently tried a pambazo elsewhere and this one absolutely held its own. We also shared chips and salsa, blue corn tortilla enchiladas, and pastor and asada gorditas. Everything was well seasoned and satisfying. It's a straightforward, authentic spot that focuses on the food. I'll definitely be back. read more

We are very selective with our Mexican food as a lot of the time it gets watered down - that was not the experience we had at Garibaldi. Food was so fresh and genuine. The salsas were delicious and the menu items were legit. And you definitely get bang for your buck!Space was super clean and service was so courteous and friendly. We will be back very soon! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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 read more

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. read more

Fairly good breakfast burrito. Too much potato and not enough sausage (hardly any sausage) and egg in the burrito. Other than that, it would be a good breakfast burrito. Had to actually add some sausage to the burrito when I got home. Refried beans were good. Green chili on top was good. read more

Garibaldi's is a fantastic hidden gem next to a gas station! The staff is always pleasant and the food is authentic Mexico City fare. We typically get the Queka, Huarache or Huarache Azteca to go, and I recommend adding the salsa to allow the full-flavors to blend. It can be hot, so adjust to taste. Can't wait to try the breakfast burrito! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

I ate dinner here with a friend last night. Again, it was a fantastic experience! My friend was impressed as well. She ordered a burrito which was huge! I tasted some of the burrito and it was really good! I ordered steak fajitas. They were really good as well! A young lady waited on us. She was very friendly and accommodating. I remembered her from my last visit here. For dessert, I ordered churros. I had some last time. They're really good here. I look forward to returning many times and trying different things on the menu. I love the cozy and quaint atmosphere of this restaurant. I also just love how it's situated in a gas station. I sort of wish I live closer to this place. read more

Such an awesome little spot! Service and food were both incredible. You HAVE to try the breakfast burrito!

I was a bit in between whether to give it 4 or 5 stars, but I'm going 5 because I had such an all around enjoyable meal. Who knew that a Mexican restaurant in a gas station could be this good. My buddy and I wanted to try a couple of things. Our server was outstanding. I've never had cuisine from Mexico City, so we had a ton of questions for our server. She explained every item beautifully and gave us some solid recommendations. We ordered a Quekas and Pambazos with the intent to share both items. When our food came, they split the 2 items we ordered and made us a plate with 1/2 of each item. We didn't ask or expect this service. I fully expected to cut it in half ourselves and share, but they did it all for us. That was super customer service in my opinion. The best way to describe the Quekas is the best quesadilla you've ever had in your life. From the fresh tortilla to all the filling inside, it was far and away the best quesadilla I've had in my life. The Pambazos was fun. You're definitely getting messy eating this. The bun was super soft on the inside, like a cloud. The sandwich was covered in a guajillo pepper sauce. My fingers turned red from the sauce, but it was so worth it. Super tasty sandwich and reminded me of a less messy torta ahogada. Yum yum yum! I wish we had this place here in Vegas. read more

Great breakfast burritos and friendly service from this out-of-the-way little restaurant!

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. read more

We got the chilaquiles and huevos rancheros and both were delicious! Friendly service and delicious food; what more could you ask for?! We would definitely come here again to try some of the other menu items. 5 stars all the way! read more

What an interesting location in a gas station. We started with chips and salsa. It was ok. I had a steak burrito, which was huge. Way too much for 1 meal. Will have the rest for lunch tomorrow. Again it was ok. My husband had the carnitas and said they were also ok. After reading the reviews I do not agree with the 4 1/2 stars. Probably will not return. There are many more Mexican restaurants to try. read more

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. read more

We've lived in the area for a while and seen signs for this, but didn't actually give it a try until a friend highly recommended their breakfast burritos saying it was some of the best he's ever had. We got two breakfast burritos to go, one chorizo, and one bacon, both un-smothered. These things are beefy! And super filling! Definitely the best value burritos for their price ($7). We got them around 10am and didn't eat again until 4pm haha. read more

Complimentary chips and salsa if you dine-in. Like that they toast the outer shell. Chorizo and Carnitas was not too flavorful Pastor was nice and flavorful read more

Was caught off guard by how good the food was at this seemingly hole in the wall joint. Oaxacan was a refreshingly unique Mexican taste for sure. Highly recommend! read more

wow..... as you can see from my original review, I was a big fan! My have times have changed.... :( We went there after not being there for a year or so, and while the taste is still good, portions are RIDICULOUS! I get it that everyone's costs, labor etc are up, but c'mon Garibaldi...! Meat in the fajitas about 1/8" thick, had to search for chorizo (two pieces in the Pambazo) sorry, you lost us... .we will not return! read more

What a yummy secret. Hidden in between the convenient shop and car wash of the Conoco gas station is this delight of a Mexican restaurant. My favorites from the decently sized menu is the pambazo and papazules. Ask about the specials and seasonal menu items. read more

Okay folks, lower your expectations on "ambiance." You're eating at a restaurant attached to a CONOCO gas station. Think "No frills." Now, that said.... The food is quite simply fantastic. I've eaten at amazingly good restaurants in Mexico City and Garibaldi's is on par with those. The staff are wonderfully friendly and helpful in explaining the menu selections and offering suggestions. The specials they offer on the weekend are worth listening to. Ask for the mixiote -- it comes with tortillas, black beans and rice. This a traditional pit-barbecued or oven-baked meat dish from central Mexico. You can have it prepared with pork belly or chicken. If your not familiar with a fatty pork belly, then go with the chicken. Ask for extra sauce "on the side." You'll thank me later. Their chips and house-made salsa are perfect too. read more

I'm sure I'm being a little harsh on the rating. GrubHub the order $50+ w/ all the fees and tips...not sure it was worth the $50+. I order 3-tacos, 2-skirt steak and 1-pastor taco, 3-enchiladas 2-chix and 1-cheese and $7 Queso. All for $50+....dumb on my part, in my defense 2-kiddos under 8-maxed put after traveling w/a time change...the food-chix-enchiladas dry, cheese enchiladas over cooked...hard to cut. The rice was flavorful and beans would likely be good hot. The pastor taco tender, pineapple not ripe-totally bummed. The skirt steak wasn't as tender as I expected and there was an abundance of onions. Slightly disappointed....and the queso was clumpy . Worth the fees or for that matter the $28 prior to fees read more

Quick, cheap, authentic, and delicious! "Gas station tacos" they have these types of places everywhere down south, unassuming and adjourned to a gas station. Don't be fooled by the nonchalant appearance, Garibaldi is authentic mom and pop Mexican. If you're looking for a casual and extremely fairly priced place to eat some quality Mexican food, this is your spot. Service was lightning fast and staff is super friendly. Food is delicious and chips and salsa are provided free. Al pastor tacos = the cheeseburger of Mexican food. If there's any dish that can be indexed, that is the one. Their al pastor tacos are top notch - sweet grilled pineapple, onion and cilantro, and juicy marinated pork. Delicious! Take the negative reviews with a grain of salt and try this place for yourself! You won't be disappointed! Plus, you're supporting a small local business that is great at their craft! read more

We went here for lunch one day, a friend recommended it. I must admit that I was somewhat leery about dining in a restaurant attached to a gas station, however, once inside I forgot about that. Our server was very friendly and made suggestions about what to order and what we could order to add to our selections. The food arrived quickly, we were the only customers in this place, and everything was hot. There were 2 teenage boys and 3 adults in our group and everyone was satisfied. I even took a large portion home. I am not a connoisseur of Mexican food, but I can add that my dish was excellent and one of the best Mexican dishes I have had. read more

Don't let the location fool ya (attached to gas station). Hands down, best breakfast burrito in town. Some of those other burritos are very small and very wet. Others are so dry, you'd wish you had the super wet. Garibaldi's has the best of both worlds, but with more flavor. You can get them smothered as well. They do have other things, but I haven't moved on from the breakfast burritos. Btw, they serve Boba. read more

This unassuming restaurant is actually adjacent to a Conoco. That doesn't change anything. Inside a surprising Mexican theme awaits along with authentic Mexican cuisine. This is not a fancy restaurant, it is an authentic one. Fast service, hot food and they deliver with Grubhub! We also love the Horchata drinks. read more

Tacos were excellent! We came searching for street style tacos and were not disappointed. For $2-$3 per taco, you get two warm corn tortillas, generous serving of meat, and the typical onion and cilantro relish. Topped with some limes it's all we could've asked for in a taco. The inside is meh; seems that more people come in and order to go. But give them a visit and try their food, I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

Some coworkers and I stopped in for lunch and now it's a frequent stop for all of us! Great tacos- street style with tasty protein and a few fixings, not over the top like so many places can be. My favorites are the carne asada fries (great combo of toppings and flavors!) and quekas (crispy corn tortilla stuffed with melted cheese & meat-yes please!) Also, the service is top notch.
