    Super burrito

    Got the adobada super burrito without lettuce- probably the best burrito I've ever had. They weren't stingy with the cilantro, well balanced ratios, all components were very flavorful, and really good spicy and mild salsas on the side. I ate the whole thing even though I got full halfway through... just couldn't help myself bc it was so tasty. Hell yeah

    I tried a mix of tacos and every one was tasty. I loved the salsa, not too spicy but very flavorful. Everything felt fresh and homemade. Super casual spot but worth it.

    Ordered three tacos, two Asada one Lengua. Ordered some grilled peppers on the side with an iced cold Coca-Cola. Great salsa!

    This place is very authentic. They take a lot of pride in their food. My favorite of the tacos. But they have all of the authentic dishes. I would definitely give them five stars.

    Very nice workers. The carne asada was a pretty fatty. The rice and beans had good flavor.

No cap it feels like we're in MX The service is just as impressive. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and makes us feel right at home from start to finish. And the food... absolutely amazing. Everything tastes so fresh, flavorful, and authentic. We love the agua de horchata it smacks every single time. You can really tell they put care into every dish. Overall this place checks all the boxes! Thank you amazing team

    I love Mexican food (not the Tex Mex) almost as much as I love Korean food, however, trying to find…read morea "really good authentic" Mexican restaurant in the Boise area has been challenging to say the least. I've been here for almost 2 years and the BEST Mexican food I have found was in Twin Falls. NO I do not want to go to Twin Falls to get Mexican food, especially w/ the price of gas now. I was searching online for a new restaurant to go to for lunch and for some reason "Garibaldis Garden City" popped up. First, Garibaldis, does not really sound like a Mexican restaurant, but after reading the reviews and checking out their website, I am thinking why not...can't be any worse than Andrades, Chapala or Barrigas. Went in around noon, not crowded, but again its gorgeous outside, and I like a relaxed atmosphere. We sat at the bar, our server (bartender) Michael (who is from San Diego) was great. We really didn't need any recommendations because I already had set in my head what I was going to order. We started out with the "salsa flight", 3 different salsas, 1 smokey hot sauce, 1 more chunky and a mango habanero" which all 3 were very good. I loved that there was actually some spice and heat in all 3. Okay, the Mango it grows on you, the more you eat it the better it gets. We also ordered a maggie on the rocks w/ Casa Amigos Reposado and a ranch water with the Blanco. I also ordered the Coctel Garibaldis, which is shrimp & octopus and the shrimp was nice and large and the octopus was a nice size, NEITHER was mushy, THEY BOTH tasted so fresh (enough to share). For our main, Chicken Fajitas and Carne Asada....I normally do not like the refried beans here in Boise at the Mexican restaurants we have tried, but these beans tasted like HOME, LIKE MY MOTHER IN LAW MADE THEM~! The chicken fajitas ...there was actually MORE CHICKEN than peppers which is a 1st...and it was huge slices and chunks. My Carne Asada, OMG, huge amount and it was so flavorful, I doubt I could have done any better. NOW, I am a tortilla snob and I make my own flour tortillas, but THEY HAD SERIOUSLY LITERALLY the best DAMN corn tortillas I have tasted in YEARS! They almost look like flour, but once you taste them, incredible. We (he) ordered the Coco Flan for dessert, I don't do dessert so I ordered the Casa Azul Anejo....met 2 women drinking Maggies, we agreed, if we are going to do calories, we are drinking them and not eating them...but in all, the SERVICE, Food, the atmosphere, was all worth it. Will we go again, YOU BET, I may even have to sneak over for a few lunches by myself it was that good. Again, thanks Michael, you were on Point!
