Centrally located Mexican restaurant with an extensive menu. The portions are HUGE, definitely can be shared between two people. Chips and salsa are included. A combo dinner with rice and beans and 2 enchiladas is about 20$ before tax/tip. Flavor was decent but not extremely flavorful. Service was really great, super warm and friendly and refilling the waters. This is also a large restaurant so good for big groups. read more

Delicious tacos from start to finish. Very friendly and attentive staff. Tacos de al pastor were so delicious! Especially with a Modelo michelada! Loved the music and the decorations. Made me feel at home! read more

Plaza Garibaldi - Delicious tacos! - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is a good go-to spot for Happy Hour Mexican food. It's your typical filling portions/ no-frills spot with a friendly atmosphere. I got the house margarita which was pretty weak but cheap. You have to sit in the bar area for the Happy Hour so make sure you tell the hostess since we were taken to a different room and then had to move... oops. To be honest there are a lot of spots with this same quality of food that I would describe as "solid". Best part is the free chips and salsa and the large portions. We got the nachos with the shredded chicken (came with guac and sour cream). For the price it was good but I personally love grilled/ fajita chicken more as shredded chicken can be kind of tasteless (you get what you pay for). The tacos were pretty good too with the carnitas... once again solid but not spectacular. read more

Tasty Mexican place a stones throw from climate pledge arena. Mixed grill plate was especially good, large enough for two to share. Very efficient and friendly servers. Decent margaritas. read more

The food was delicious! The service, despite it being insanely busy due to the concert down the road, was phenomenal. The servers kind of took turns filling our water, chips, etc and it was greatly appreciated. We REALLY enjoyed their salsa, it was pretty addictive haha. I ordered the carne asada tacos and he order mole enchiladas (I think...), we were both very pleased. The mojitos were super sweet, so that was the only thing that was eh. Fair warning, don't fill up too much on chips if you can't take your food to go haha. We made this mistake and left EXTREMELY stuffed, but quite happy. read more

I was recommended to go here by my hotel staff. It was a great recommendation. The food and drinks were good and the staff was very friendly and attentive. I ordered a strawberry daiquri and my mom got the peach marg- both were delicious. I ordered the chicken fajita's and they were seasoned perfectly and tasted great. Their rice was also very good. Chips & salsa was also very good- salsa especially. I would definitely return. It looks a little rough on the outside, but very clean inside. The staff all wore their masks correctly. read more

This place was great when it was Jalisco. Have given Garibaldi Plaza many a chance over the years since then, and though the decor is identical they've never lived up to the quality or taste of the former's food. Was hopeful they'd up their game for the Kraken, but alas NO. Back in the time of Super Sonics Jalisco was jammed before & after games. Not so much at Garibaldi Plaza for Kraken games, which speaks volumes. Won't be going back. read more

For being in Washington, the food was decent. Definitely felt it in the bathroom later. Higher prices than what's justified for food quality, but you are right next to the Space Needle so it's expected. Good chips and salsa. Adorable waiters. Service was alright. Cinco de Mayo is super slow service and busy, to be expected. read more

Came here around 7:20pm on a weekday. Lots of tables available so we got seated right away. Free tortilla chips plus salsa, great food, huge portion, delicious steak, fast service. $15.5 per person without tax or tip, very cheap too. Would return in the future, hopefully for a happier occasion. read more

Amazing Service! They were able to seat 10 of us immediately. Had 2 waiters filling drinks and delivering. Manager(owner) came by to check in. Food was above average and I am from New Mexico. So I eat a lot of Mexican inspired foods. The decorations and cleanliness were also excellent. Sadly forgot to get pics as the food slid down fast. read more

I've lived close to Plaza Garibaldi for more than a year and haven't had the chance to go. I decided this past Tuesday was the day to try it and I'm glad I did. They have a very extensive menu that is available online and there are a lot of great options to pick from. You can order for delivery or for take out and it was a super easy process. I decided to try the tacos al pastor, which which delicious! I do wish it had more sauce, but all of the salsas they provided made up for it. Their lunch special was around $8-9, came with chips and salsa, and was very well packaged. Highly recommend and would come again! read more

Plaza Garibaldi - Tacos al Pastor - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Horrible Horrible. I went there for lunch. I had the Chicken salad. When the salad was delivered I noticed flies flying around my Salad I didn't think anything of it. I kept swatting them while my Uncle observed, as I said I didn't think much then a fly landed on top of my salad and I hit it off my salad, which salad went flying everywhere. And when my plate was taken away, no more flys. I called to speak to the Manager Lydia. I was told she comes in at 5pm. I called 15 times no answer just a voice-mail, which was full. I'm not going back, that's really disgusting. I want my money back, but was refused a refund. I wish I could've video taped it. And I'm half Hispanic. Come on now. read more

Came to Seattle for business, was honestly craving Mexican food and this spot nailed it ! Muy muy rico el servicio también al cien

I live in the neighborhood and have become somewhat disillusioned by the usual choices, decided to go shopping online, and in my scrolling for a lunch special I remembered Plaza Garabaldi! I looked up their lunch specials - how wonderful they have so many options for a reasonable price! $12.99 for a large hot plate of food that was really delicious and traditional very delicious rice and beans, I loved it. The margarita was balanced and refreshing, not too sweet not too sour, and strong enough to know it had booze. Enjoy! read more

Vegetarian's perspective - Every item here for vegetarians is an afterthought. The chille relleno was bland, and the corn burrito is okay. If you're a vegetarian tagging along, the ambiance will give you a great experience - the chips here are the best I've had - but the food will be mediocre. The salsa is also incredibly watery - not a great pairing for the best chips I've had. read more

Plaza Garibaldi - Chile Relleno a la Carte Bean and Cheese Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Regulars showing up several times per month,tipping 20% plus each time. Tonight we were treated like dirt. Ordered a happy hour margarita, it came half full. Shocked we said something and were told that's the happy hour margarita. I said the glass isn't even full. Do I want them to add more? Yes we want a full drink. Below is a picture after being filled. Friends joined us and their happy hour margaritas came full. Is this bad service or trying to cheat customers or prejudice or trying to skimp? You're treating your regulars like this? Shocking! Shame on you! read more

Plaza Garibaldi - Even a happy hour margarita should fill the glass. - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Sat down in a booth with my 10 year old son. First thing the waitress says is "Two Margaritas?" The food is barely a step above Taco Bell. And the decor is weird and uncomfortable. Rarely in my life have a walked away from a full drink. But the margarita (one only) here was undrinkable. Nobody should be using margarita mix in 2022. Fresh limes are available year round. read more

Delicious food! The portions are pretty big. The place may not look like much, but their food taste great! Also, they are very quick with their turnaround time and not in a bad way. We ordered margaritas, the #3 Quesadilla combo and the #5 Enchilada combo. The enchilada was amazing. The shredded beef tasted very good! The tacos were also tasty, and while I would have preferred soft tacos, they still tasted great. The chicken quesadilla was great! Both came with rice and beans which tasted great. Overall, the place may not have the fanciest look but the service and food were great! Thank you! read more

I'm not much of a snob when it comes to my takeout food, I normally get something pretty simple (ground beef burritos/rice and beans). But when I arrive (after notification of completed order) I was approached by 4 separate working and when I told them I had a takeout order they all disappeared and never came back. It was only a extra 10min wait but when I got my food the man handed it to me like it was his first takeout order ever and the food was cold like it was waiting for a while... Definitely a sit down place, don't order takeout.. it's a letdown read more

The service was excellent. Food is just average. Hanging lights in the bar area are filthy, needing a vacuum to remove all the dust. Same thing in the bathrooms. Vents are covered in dust. read more

Before the pandemic shut everything down Plaza Garibaldi was a great place for lunch or a beer after work. Post-pandemic the food is still very good (would give 4 stars for food) but they have some new servers who work the lunch shift and are okay (2 stars for service) but not as friendly and helpful as the old crew I used to see: Rodolpho, Libby, Pepe, Octavio and a couple of others. The new crew of servers provide a level of service that falls into what I call the "It'll do" range. All the basics are covered but nothing else. One in particular is never very engaged....she get's you seated, gets the order, brings the food and maybe....maybe stops by afterwards to see if it's okay. Last time I was in was just past 3:00 p.m. (lunch was late that day). She gave me the lunch menu but then charged a higher price for my tostada. I'm guessing lunch prices ended at 3:00 so I paid the dinner price? She also seemed surprised when I asked for an iced tea refill. C'mon iced tea is $3.95 you could provide at least ONE refill at that price. End result was I paid $12.95 for the tostada (menu price $9.95), $3.95 for tea and $1.73 in tax. $18.63 for lunch before tip. This is the second time I've been charged other than menu price and I'm just gonna let it go because Blue Water Taco Grill is a short distance up the hill and their food (like Plaza Garibaldi's food) is pretty good. read more

Great food love it.. the food delicious and y oil u get ample amounts. Love the chips also.

I see that the service has gotten better. The manager who was grumpy still remains so but the rest of the staff seems courteous and welcoming. Food is good though - I like it. read more

I have been eating at this place for over 3 years now. The food and staff is amazing. They always treated me with respect and kindness. The facility is very clean and well decorated. I totally recommend this place to have drinks and a great meal! read more

Nena could improve her service by addressing her attitude. We felt very rushed during our visit, as there were four of us--two males and two females. As the two males were finishing their meals, Nena approached the table without even asking if they were done and took their plate. When I was finishing my food as the last one to eat, she took my plate and, in a snarky tone, remarked, "Oh, no dejaron tip," essentially asking why we hadn't tipped yet. We had intended to tip until she made that unnecessary comment. Besides that the food was fine but the complimentary chips were stale and the salsa was very watery. read more

We've ordered a lot of delivery during this pandemic, but I have to say that very few meals have traveled as well as Plaza Garibaldi! The chips were still warm, the salsa and drinks were chilled, and the entrees arrived in aluminum trays that were perfect for 5min. in the oven to heat up and serve hot. Everything tasted just as delicious as it did when we dined-in, many months ago. Favorites include the nachos, quesadillas, chicken tacos plaza, and beef enchiladas. I recommend ordering the virgin margaritas and adding in your own tequila or mezcal! read more

"You want to go there for your birthday"?? That was a question of the night when my buddy picked this place for a group of about 10 of us. Located in Lower Queen Anne off 1st Ave, you probably will miss it when you go by but I see it pretty much everyday as my bus passes by it and have always wondered about this place. It looks like one of those business' that looks like it may go out of business but I hope they don't because it wasn't bad at all. It's not your hipster Mexican food with kale, fancy sauces, truffle or any of that stuff. This is your standard typical Mexican-American style place, not many of these around anymore. The closest comparison I could think of is maybe the Azteca restaurants, but I thought this was better. They had me at free Chips & Salsa unlike a lot of places nowadays that charge you for that. They were totally quick with refilling the chips and they had no qualms about the refill neither. Salsa was actually tasty and the chips were actually kind of addicting. Had this corn flake type of consistency to it, different but in a good way. Between the 10 of us, we must've gotten 5 rounds of chips & salsa refills. There were some hungry peeps at this table. Huge menu to look over but I had to go and get a combo plate when coming to a spot like this. I got the Combo #4 that came with a taco, enchilada and a tamale. Your choice of meat for each and comes with rice & refried beans. Plates and portions are really big, you will definitely get full from your entrée or have plenty of leftovers. It was pretty good, all the meats had flavor, was not dry, seemed pretty freshly made to me, served piping hot with melty cheese everywhere. Rice & beans were ok but there was so much food that I picked at it here and there and that's the part that always gets left uneaten. The meal is just what I thought it would be and I was satisfied. Everyone at my table enjoyed their meal from fajitas, monster burritos, super nachos (yes they have a super nacho on the menu), and other a la carte items. No complaints at all. Staff was really nice, they were able to accommodate our group in a side room that we ended up having all to ourselves. All the staff was quick on refills on all the margaritas, beers and cocktails. Other staff helped our server bring out the food, take away any plates and all had a pleasant demeanor asking if we needed anything else and making sure we got what we needed. Prices are very affordable for food & drinks and surprising to not see a $18 burrito on the menu. The place got a little busy as we were leaving, they have karaoke too near the bar but we didn't stay for that as we ended up elsewhere for more beers. Glad I came by to check it out and will probably be back sooner than later. read more

Was craving some basic enchiladas and that's exactly what I got. These were very good, just nothing out of the ordinary!

Nice Mexican spot walking distance from the Space Needle. The Michelada was great in a large beer mug, but limited beer options maybe low stock. Chips & salsa were on point. Chile Verde was delicious and a large portion. Shrimp enchiladas plate was tasty. Hard pass on the nachos sloppy plate. Reasonable prices for the servings. Everything else was good. Stop by! read more

Plaza Garibaldi - Chile Verde - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Had a weekend Mexican craving so had delivery from DoorDash... ordered a few things which were a bit of a mixed bag so here's the breakdown: Starting with the good- - flan was great - creamy and large enough that I even had leftovers for the next day - combo plate- taco, tamale, enchilada- all the meats were well seasoned, the enchilada sauce had great depth and the rice and beans were solid - received the food early with most of it hot which was great - salsa and chips - salsa was spicy and tortilla chips were good The not so good- - meats on the combo plate were incorrect (received a shredded beef tamale instead of chicken as ordered, received chicken taco instead) - taco shell was completely falling apart - tamale masa was quite dense with a high ratio of masa to meat - guacamole appetizer showed up already brown Overall not bad, next time would try something different off the menu read more

Don't be fooled this is not Jaliscos the restaurant that used to be here. Looks the same but it's not. Food quality has gone down hill and the margaritas are not good unless all you care about is a novelty giant margarita read more

I've Been going here for the Seahawks games and the food is always good. My go to is the carne asada and/or bowl of the chicken and rice soup. This family owned business always has the friendliest staff! read more

The only reason I didn't give five stars was because of how long it took for the food to come out, but to be fair they were pretty busy. The food was amazing. I definitely want to go back and get more soon. I also heard from a friend about their amazing margaritas, so I'm going to give that a try next time. The restaurant area, not the bar, is very chill and they play a good selection of Spanish music. I'll need to check out and review the bar area next. Never been there. read more

Up here in Queen Anne with the family for a few days staying at a nearby hotel. Friday evening 7:30 and the fam's hungry. "Where are we going to eat?" I know, let's consult the Yelp! Hmm...pretty good sounding Mexican food a mile up the road. Shall we try it? Arrived 7:45. Figured out the parking was in the rear, and headed in the rear entry. Got seated almost immediately and started perusing the menu while chowing down on some really nice chips and salsa and this home-made "salsa-with-shredded-cabbage-and-other-yummy-stuff" plate. Good stuff. Wife N. decided to order a Cadillac Margarita. We ordered a virgin Strawberry Daiquiri for our daughter. On the Margarita, umm, someone was rather generous with the Tequila. Nice. It had a little less Grand Marnier than I'm normally used to, but overall, the drink was very nice and was pretty big to boot. Kids (15 and 12) ordered respectively a bean and cheese burrito and a burger. I had somewhat the hefty appetite and opted for the Garibaldi Platter. Wife N. went for the crab enchilada. Uh oh, two minutes later our server returns with "We're SO sorry, but we're all out of burgers. We'll give you anything else you want on the menu!" So my 12 year old (whose birthday was today) opted for a quesadilla. The food arrived and it became clear: wow, the Garibaldi Platter is definitely a "hearty appetite" kind of plate. Nice dish: chicken breast, steak, and a lovely shrimp-fajita-style mix in the middle. The flavors were all fantastic. The chicken was perfectly cooked and rubbed with this reddish mid-spicy mix, steak had this lovely buttery flavor (yeah, probably from the butter) and the shrimp were flawlessly cooked. Flour tortillas on the side allowed me to opt for fajita-style, just rolling the whole thing together. Wife's crab enchilada had some very nice crab in it--this wasn't the fakey-krab---this was real. Really nice flavors. Even their refried beans on the side were better than average. Service was fantastic. Our waitress even brought us a complementary dessert of these crispy tortilla cinnamon sugar things that we honestly didn't have room for at all, but definitely didn't want to give up. Three to-go-boxes of food made it back to the hotel room with us. Nothing was going to separate us from finishing this meal. Yeah, the food's that good. Plaza Garibaldi is right up there with the best of any of the Mexican restaurants I've eaten at in the Northwest, and frankly is pretty well competitive with many of the ones in L.A. This is truly excellent Mexican food, fantastic service, and Garibaldi has made it onto our "must return" list. read more

Good food and prices. They have a mediocre house margarita. Worth going for solid Mexican food.

Food was pretty sub par. My enchiladas had little to no enchilada sauce and basically just looked like boiled chicken wrapped with a tortillas and covered with cheese. Portions were big and the salsa was pretty good. Still on the hunt for good Mexican food in Seattle read more

Awesome from start to finish! My first experience was food delivery from this restaurant. It was good even after warming it up. My second visit was to the restaurant with my family. We were happy to find that they have free parking. A plus in Seattle. The service was impeccable. We received great attention before during and after our meal. Now for the food....Awesome! We started with margaritas and the free homemade chips and salsas. They were very good. We all had lunch specials enchiladas, chalupas, tacos and decided to share a tamale. Everything was tasty. My daughter even enjoyed the beans which she doesn't usually eat. You will not be disappointed. Awesome!!!! read more

The food was delIcious! The service was fantastic, both the waitress and bartender were engaging and fun. It was Such a cute place!
