My Go-To Spot for Ladies Night, Margaritas & Mexican Magic!…read more If you ask my bestie where we're headed for ladies' night, chances are we're making a beeline for Garibaldi. At this point, their staff should probably have our margaritas rims ready before we even sit down. I've worked my way through quite a bit of the menu, and one thing remains true: the food is always fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicioso. Our favorites include the salsa, queso, chips & guacamole (because let's be honest, chips and salsa are basically a love language), the Birria Empanadas, and the Steak Garibaldi. Every bite is so good it's practically a queso emergency when the plate is empty. The atmosphere is lively, welcoming, and perfect whether you're planning a girls' night, date night, Taco Tuesday, or simply looking for an excuse to avoid cooking. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and helps keep the good vibes flowing right alongside the margaritas. Speaking of margaritas... the tropical mango margarita with the Tajín rim deserves its own Yelp page. Sweet, tangy, refreshing, and dangerously easy to order "just one more." So here's my advice: come for the tacos, stay for the vibes! Garibaldi continues to be one of my favorite local spots, and I'll definitely be back for more chips, more laughs, and more margaritas. Cheers!

Some friends showed us this place and it was a local gem. Garibaldi Mexican Restaurant and Bar has…read morea bit of a reputation in Apopka and with locals for being the place to go to celebrate an occasion. This is cool as it sounds like the local hispanic version of Chili's. Honestly walking in, it's lively and the music is loud and it seems like fun. We were sat in a corner but the staff was attentive. I got the fish tacos and we got the queso and chips for the table. Both were good, but the winner is really the gigantic margarita. I mean it's huge. Like the size of my head big. The portions were big and everything came with rice and beans and some salad. It was good, but probably a bit pricey for what it was. The fish tacos were a 7/10, I think it could have had some breading or something or more sauce. The queso was an 8.5/10, this was excellent and delicious. It comes in one of those metal containers that keeps the heat going for longer so it's sizzling a little when it gets to the table. The mango margarita was a 10/10. I mean again, drink the size of my head. I think the bill came out to be about $60 total. I think this place was really cool, although I may not go again unless one of my friends wanted to go. Overall, 8/10 for the whole restaurant.

I tried calling the Ocoee location over and over but no one ever answered. My husband is in the hospital in Ocoee and I wanted to surprise him. So I called the old location for the correct number. She said "keep trying, they must be busy". It was 5:10 pm. So I did, and repeatedly got no answer. My time is very limited with him and visiting hours, so I wanted to order the food ahead and pick it up so I could get to him quickly. When I got there at 5:30, there was only two customers and the girl at the front desk said "try to call me" and the phone ring. She said "see it's working". After she took my order, I could hear the phone ringing over and over and all she was doing was messing around in the back with the other waitstaff. Yes, the phone works when you answer it! Terrible customer service on both accounts. I'm soarly disappointed.

I went at the recommendation of a friend who highly recommended their ceviche. My daughter and I went and tried the dip trio (salsa, guacamole and queso). We waited in line for a few minutes right after they opened and were served pretty quickly. The restaurant was painted brightly and decorated with pictures of the food on the wall in addition to a sugar skull theme throughout. All three of the dips we ordered were good, large portions and came with fresh, hot (and delicious!) chips. The guacamole was easily the best of the three, in my opinion. Creamy, tasty and so fresh! I ordered the ceviche and my daughter ordered the birria torta. I ordered the pineapple aqua Fresca and she got a Jarritos drink. Our lunches came out quickly. The ceviche was a large serving. Probably enough for 2 people! Chunks of shrimp and topped with guacamole, this ceviche was standard, in my opinion. Nothing special. It was good. I requested chips instead of saltines to go with my lunch. Large portion sizes are really the hallmark here. Again, the food is good, but unremarkable. Same holds true with the birria torta. A large serving of chopped beef (not shredded) and a taste very similar to a pot roast, this was equally unremarkable. Both of our lunches were excellent quality, and fine in taste. If you are in the area I recommend giving them a try. The place is clean, the staff is friendly and the food is good!

We were greeted when we walked in and service is at the cash register so this is more of a quick service style restaurant. The restaurant itself has plenty of seating despite being in a small space, and is very cheerfully decorated. We ordered some flautas, steak and pork tacos, and chips and queso. There is a topping bar for your tacos with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and hot sauces. The chips and queso were delicious, and the flautas were also fantastic! I didn't like the refried beans as much as my husband did--they were on the thinner side and to me the taste wasn't what I wanted it to be, but the rice was good. The flavor of the steak taco was great but the cubes of meat were too big in my opinion. The real star of this show was the tacos al pastor! Super tender and delicious!!! If Yelp had a half star system, I would definitely have given a 4.5 but since they don't it feels necessary to round up to a 5, because overall this place is a winner! We will definitely be back!

My wife actually went before I did, and she said it was okay. So one night, we decided to go and try it out together. We walked in and were quickly greeted by the hostess. I looked around and had a hard time recognizing the layout as they had really made it different than the barbecue place before it. The decor is beautiful, and I felt as if I was in a Mexican Cantina in Mexico City! She asked if we wanted a booth or a table, and we chose a booth. While it wasn't packed, it was fairly busy, which was a great sign. We sat and were given menus, which were quickly followed by Chips & Salsa. She asked what we wanted to drink, and I ordered a Michelada. The Chips and Salsa were good, not the best I have ever had, but tasty. We ordered queso dip and a main course, and my Michelada arrived- the best I have ever had in Apopka, and rivaled any that I have had anywhere- great start! The queso was good, typical. I had steak tacos, and my wife had a burrito. We also had a side of tamales. Everything was fresh and tasty, and we were both very impressed! The staff were friendly and genuinely happy to see us; I felt like a long-time customer. We have been back several times and have enjoyed each visit. We will definitely keep coming back!
