The food was frickin amazing and the environment was so fun 10/10 recommendations. The service was authentic and comfortable

Food is certainly underwhelming. We had steak fajitas, queso and the tostada, tamale and enchilada grande combo. The queso was THICK and by the time we were done eating our meals was not even appetizing. The fajitas were mediocre, didn't have a ton of the "fajita" flavor and some of the veggies were a bit undercooked for my liking. The steak was a good quality meat, but not super flavorful. The tostada was nothing special and neither was the enchilada, but the tamale was pretty large, maybe the largest one I've seen.. my margarita on the rocks was not cold when it got to the table and didn't have much ice in it at all. The decor is nice and it's much larger than it looks from the outside, but it doesn't really make up for the lackluster food. Our server was good, hadn't been there very long, but still had some recommendations to give. We likely won't be back based on the food experience alone. read more

Average to below average Mexican food - 3 stars. GOOD: 1. The best thing I can say about Garibaldi's is the food is cheap. My Garibaldi's Burrito lunch meal cost less than a McDonald's #1 Big Mac Meal. 2. All of our food came out freaky fast. 3. The service was good. I suspect I got better than usual service because they saw me taking tons of photos for Yelp. But I can't prove it. So I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt and calling it "good". 4. They have a full bar. 5. They're on the south end of town with plenty of parking. 6. The restaurant is big - no problem getting seating. 7. The décor is new, modern, and clean. Apparently, they had a major re-modeling job in the past year. NOT SO GOOD: 1. The food was pretty lame. Its obvious most of this stuff comes frozen, in a can, or in a jar and it's simply dished out of a hot table and plopped on the plate...thus, the ultra-fast arrival of our "meals". In the wise words of a friend of mine who's an executive chef, this is cafeteria quality food prepared with insufficient love. 2. In my humble opinion, Garibaldi's is the worst Mexican joint in New Richmond. Azul Tequila and Guac N' Roll are both light years better. 3. The timing was goofy. Our appetizers came out with the main entres. Of course, this is because they're just scooping stuff up in the back kitchen. Still, better staging & timing would be appreciated. 4. My drink was weak as hell and it had too much sticky sweet syrup - very amateurish . Our server (and bartender) said she had 3 years of experience at Garibaldi's. She should be better after 3 years. 5. The music sucked. I don't mind Mexican music at all. But the music was pretty weird and irritating. It was like nails on a chalkboard. 6. Our server was a little strange and she had some odd mannerisms. When she talked to us at the table, she slowly rocked from side to side like a caged animal at the zoo...weird. But I guess the speedy service and the frequent check-ins makes up for it. This is probably a good option for a local family that's on a budget and wanting a cheap sit down meal but is sick of fast food & pizza. As for me, I probably won't go back to this one. - Maxx read more

Garibaldi's Mexican Restaurant - Yet again, the wrong enchiladas. - Mexican Near Me - New Richmond, Wisconsin

Service and ambience is so good,very calm and peace food was also good with good quality and taste

I ordered a taco salad and was very disappointed the shell tasted like it had been fried in fish oil just had an off taste to it.

Don't expect super authentic Mexican food. I'm not sure what was going on with the Mole' sauce but it was so sweet I wouldn't be surprised if the chocolate that is supposed to be in a mole' sauce was actually Hershey's syrup. However it wasn't horrible, just very sweet. For all I know there were Reese's peanut butter cups in it, and I do love those delicious peanut butter cups. My wife's enchiladas had cheddar cheese on them, which was odd as well. I did give two stars instead of one for their salsa, which was pretty good. Also to warn you they play some sort of Spanish rap music while you eat, not quite Reggaeton'. read more

We moved to New Richmond in 2019 and this was one of the first places we ate at while we waited to finalize our house move. I thought "great we have a Mexican restaurant in town". I didn't leave with either super positive or negative attitude. Suffice to say, with COVID and Azul opening in town, we just never returned. About a month ago, I had a coupon so we decided to try it again. And the verdict is just meh. The food was just bland but it was cooked well. Salsa had almost no spice and tasted like a real thin ketchup. My margarita was just mostly ice and I couldn't taste lime or tequila. Wife had a Pina colada she said it was just okay. Only Mexican restaurant I've eaten at that only used orange cheese on the entree. And I remember the cost seemed high even with a coupon. If it was the only option in town, it would be passable but that's no longer true. With Azul Tequila in town, they better up their game to stay in business read more

Horrible service. Walked in to a whirlwind of attitude! Had the menus slapped onto the table, we had to get our own kids booster seats. How disgusting, the vibes in there were so bad I could slice it with a butter knife. Walked right out. We ate at the Taco Bell instead. Sadly because we would rather support a small business than a chain restaurant. read more

Beautifully remodeled and new menu since there last. We ordered the steak "El Sombrero" (pictured) and the "Banderita" (3 enchilada combo). Both entrees fresh & delicious! It was a beautiful day and we debated about eating outside on their patio but opted for inside so we could check out the remodel. 4 stars due to service - female server was more interested in being on her cell phone than serving and forgot the 1 request we did make - more salsa. I know...good help is hard to find. Totally recommend Garibaldi's for fantastic, fresh Mexican food at a very reasonable price. read more

Garibald's is one of our favorite places to go in both Amery and New Richmond. The people are kind, dedicated, and work hard so we can enjoy a break with great food. We are grateful to have these folks & their food in our neighborhood. We are never disappointed and always leave happier than when we arrive. read more

Extremely fast service, a nice atmosphere, very fair prices, and they even customized my order. The food was great, and out of the many Mexican restaurant I've been to in Wisconsin, it looked like they had the biggest servings of all. I did have to dock them a star though, because of a complaint I've seen a few others post about this particular spot: the salsa. It's the worst salsa I've had at a Mexican restaurant. I did eat it; it wasn't horrible. Just really, really, bland/blah. read more

This is actually a good little restaurant for some Mexican food. Kid menu misses the mark, but they make great steak for fajitas and burritos. Portions are good and you can walk away feeling satisfied for the dollar. Sundays are busy and service can get lengthy, but it's tough to staff more in a roller coaster of busy and slow times. read more

Just terrible service! We came in at 8:30 pm the signs were all on, it said they closed at 9 pm. After being told to wait by the person behind the counter, we were herded to a table, where we were given tortilla chips by our waitress who took our drink order and walked off. When she came back with our drinks we asked if there was any salsa and was informed it was being made. The service was abrupt and rude, they turned the music off after we sat down and proceeded to clean up loudly mopping the floor and putting all the chairs up on the tables, apart from the ones were sat on (we were in a booth). We were out of there before the time they had on the door for closing time and still had all the open signs etc on when we left?! Food was actually not bad, shame that the service was terrible. read more

We love Mexican food and having lived in the Southwest, we can confidently say this is a great place to get authentic tasting food. The service is always good and the atmosphere is relaxing. read more

Very fast and friendly service! Food tastes delicious and is quite filling. Glad I chose to come here for dinner tonight. read more

Do not waste your time, eat somewhere else. Pros: very few deep fried items on menu, bland enough for nursing home folk, and easy to get a table. Cons: food was cold, customer service was terrible, and sadly the most unauthentic Mexican restaurant in North America. My experience: I ordered a pork dish that the menu stated that the pork was marinated with "Mexican seasonings". The dish arrived later colder than my salsa appearing as if it had been microwaved from frozen before serving (pork had white crusty marks- a telltale marks of fast defrosted meat was left in the freezer) and NO FLAVOR "Mexican marinated"). I rarely if ever complain, but the meat was nasty nasty. When I mentioned it to our server (who is a co-owner), she said "You show me in the menu where it said marinated". wtf? As a customer, to be asked to prove my dissatisfaction over the meal, I was shocked. She eventually (20 minutes later) brought me back a serving of chicken fajita mix which was quite good however she CHARGED me for the higher cost of the fajita meal. I paid for the meal but vowed to never go back. read more

Really low quality food. Tasteless. Chicken enchiladas were dry and disgusting flavor of meat. Didn't eat it was gross. Burgers for boys looked like soybean burgers...dry low quality. Service was ok. Owners were nice enough. But can't recommend. Will never go back. Felt like crap. read more

My family frequently gets dinner here, and we are never disappointed. The service is friendly and the food is great. We enjoy the classics like the enchilada, the chimichangas, and the tamales, and the lunch and dinner combination plates let you enjoy a little bit of everything. The platillos are also great--I love the fresh, simple, authentic favors or the taco de carne asada, and one of my favorite dishes is the tacos al carbon. The fajitas are awesome--the chicken is so juicy and tender and full of flavor. Perfect with horchata. With the good service and friendly atmosphere, this is a good place to grab a bite in New Ricmond. read more

The cheese dip is an awesome app! The tacos de carne asada is my go to! Kids love the food too.

It was amazing! Nice employees and I loved our waiter "Jovani" (sorry if it's spelt wrong) great food would recommend. Side note very clean place and try their strawberry daiquiris. read more

My wife and I went to Garibaldi's for the third and final time this past Saturday. After arriving at 6:05, we finally had silverware on our table for everyone around 7:05. Our food order was taken at 6:45, a full 40 minutes from when we arrived. Water was brought to the table at 6:40, 35 minutes after we arrived. Our food made it to the table at 7:20, after being there for an hour and 15 minutes and mine was cold. I have no clue how this place stays in business considering the service. The food tastes ok but the service really wrecks it at Garibaldi's. read more

My wife and I had dinner her on Friday, April 13, 2012. The food looked good, and seemed to be good quality. But it was BLAND. I mean, ketchup bland. Absolutely zero kick. As part of my combo plate, I had a chicken taco. There was plenty of chicken in the taco - no complaint there - but it was as tasteless as tofu. read more

$4.00 queso. What a joke. The entrees are nice and reasonable for the amount of food for the price, but everything else is absurdly priced. Find somewhere else to go. It was hilarious, a Taco Bell commercial played while I was eating and there is a brand new store next door. Just go there. read more

Awful service. Awful fried ice cream. Hubby and I were craving fried ice cream, so we called in an order to go. I got there to pick it up, and a lady was behind the counter. I politely said hi and that I was here to pick up my order to go. She handed it to me and told me my total. I held out my credit card to pay and noticed she was ringing up someone else. I said some dumb thing about craving fried ice cream, and she rolled her eyes at me and said, all snotty, "you're going to have to wait a few minutes". I wanted to say, don't give me my food and tell me my total if you are pissed and doing something else. But I didn't. Another girl came up to take over for her, they had a conversation first about a missing credit card. Meanwhile there were people waiting in line behind me. Second girl finished my transaction, she was cold as ice. No thank you, nothing. I am a typical overly friendly midwesterner. I was nothing but smiling nice. Oh and skip the fried ice cream. It's ice cream in a weird shell, smothered with chocolate. Nothing like the honey and corn flakes of old lol. read more

I usually love this place but tonight was extremely disappointing. First, we ordered a beef chimmy and they brought us a chicken one. I had to ask for silverware. The two servers who were working sat in the back booth on their phones the entire time. No one checked in on us and NONE of our plates were cleared. We sat with dirty plates as she brought the Check and as we talked together dirty plates piled up. In addition, the two servers sat and talked about their tables in ear shot of other guests. I love this place but tonight was awful and it was clear that no managers were present to care. read more

Lovely authentic Mexicsn food. Fast service, wait staff always nice and great service. I've tried several dishes and have loved them all!! They also give me a tablespoon of jalapeno sauce so I can kick up the my red sauce a bit, perfect! I've gone at different times and its busy, I like that! Love love this place! read more

We had a delicious lunch here today. My husband and I both ordered from the lunch special section of the menu. The portion was perfect for lunch. I had the Garibaldi burrito and my husband had the enchilada taco combo. We both had the shredded beef as the choice of meat. The beef was very tender and flavorful. They both came with beans and rice. The chips and salsa were good too. Our son ordered from the kids menu and had a yummy quesadilla and french fries. I tasted both and I agreed that they were yummy. The service was wonderful. Our waitress was attentive and very nice. We will definitely be coming back. I look forward to ordering some other items from the menu. read more

Had the simple taco salad the first two times. The second time I ordered the salad I asked the waitress what else I could possibly get on the salad and she acted like she didn't understand what I was talking about and she pointed to all the ingredients that were listed under the taco salad which it already came with. Duh. She acted like she had never been asked if anything could be added to the taco salad and her attitude was quite poor and she acted impatient with me. The last and final time I will ever go there, I ordered the fajita salad, and after that I will never go back to this place again. I can honestly say I have never felt that sick, feverish,etc ever in my entire life. It was three days of pain fatigue and puking. Perhaps this place is a touch and go, you might get good food or you might get sick. read more

There isn't much else to say that hasn't already been said. The food just won't wow you and the service isn't good enough to make a positive difference. I would recommend that you spend your hard earned time and money somewhere else. read more

Well. The food was warm. The waitress was kind but lacked any knowledge of the menu. ZERO FLAVOR in all of our food. Burger was crap like the school food. Again no flavor in anything. Go to Walmart on sample day it's more satisfying. read more

Stopped in a few weeks ago. There were only two other tables. Service was terrible. In fact, I actually thought the waitress left the building so I sent the family to the car while I looked for her. The food was bland and we never received refills (as we had no waitress). Will never stop again. read more
