    Chips / Real Guacamole
    Crystal A.

    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.

    Arroz Chaufa de Mariscos, Arroz Chaufa de Camarones

    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.

    Wings, tostones, quesadillas, chips, salsa, dips, and I forget the name of the 'flatbread' tacos.   All very good.

    Stopped by for lunch while in the area. So many international restaurant choices in Parsippany. Impressive. The food was very good. Very friendly atmosphere. Good value. Would definitely recommend.

    Taco de Pescado (4) fish tacos- very good!

    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! :) ***

    Complimentary tortilla chips with homemade hot sauces.

    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.

    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!

    Lomo Saltodo de carne o Pollo

    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 .

    Tacos Taco de Cabeza (4) and Taco de Langua (4)
    Karlene C.

    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!

    Chicken Sandwich & Lomo Saltodo de Carne
    Ashley Y.

    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!

    Chips / Real Guacamole

    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!

    I stopped in this restaurant to get dinner! When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked…read morein and was greeted! The place was so cozy! I was served by the owner Sara and she was awesome along with her husband. I had: Pulpo (Octopus & Potato) Mushrooms Seabass with Veggies Lamb Shank with mashed potatoes Churrasco with Pesto Pasta The food was delicious! My favorite was the lamb shanks! All in all a great experience!

    This is one of the hidden gems in my neighborhood and one of those restaurants in your block, which…read moreyou pass every day, wanted to try but never tried. Glad we did today (and what a special occasion it was) It's a small family-run Peruvian restaurant, with a limited menu and they also have "specials". We ordered - Fish Milanesa: breaded Tilapia with salad: it was good. 3.5/5 Baby Back Ribs - Their seasoning, it's amazing- 4.5/5 Salmon: it was a little bit disappointing - After the first bite, you can get the feeling that the fish was not that fresh, otherwise preparation was good. - 3.5/5 Shrimp Iza: shrimp sauteed in Garlic/spinach- it was good (but less in quantity), only concern shrimp were not deveined (Ideally they should be) - 4/5 Ok, all the dishes- Salt was on the higher side, I understand sodium & salt makes you eat more, but each item-it was salty, except that the food was good. Ambiance-wise, yeah it's a good, small cute restaurant, Peruvian paintings hanging on the wall. Service: it was Wednesday night so only 2 tables were occupied, so yeah no issues in waiting or service. Uncle was helpful with my questions. I guess we expected more (taste-wise), but it was a good experience. Overall 7.5/10
