Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Haven't been here in about 5 years and I'm glad I came back. Food was authentic especially compared to what the taco bus has turned into, the waitress not only nice bit knowledgable about the menu and easy on the eyes. I will defiantly be returning more often.

I have to admit, on first drive by of this restaurant, your initial thoughts you should be "wow, that place looks sketchy". But, if you can get past the bullet holes (yes, multiple) on the front windows, it's actually quite a find. The waitstaff is super friendly. And patient to the english-speaking crowd. They have fantastic lunch specials- $5.50 for a plate of tacos, enchiladas, chimichangas, or taco salad. The enchiladas were delicious- and came with sour cream, guac, rice and beans. My friend had a $4 margarita that I salivated over all lunch (I had to go to work so I settled on a diet coke). He got a classic one, but they had several different flavors including mango and strawberry. Our meal total (margarita and soda included) came to $17. I am a fan of taco bus- but I'm pretty sure the prices can't compare to these deals. I look forward to more visits to Garibaldi once I move to the area!

We eat here a few times a month. Small place and staff speaks mostly Spanish. Food is good, but the restroom sure could use some work. Very dirty and old. Other then that great place if your not looking for fancy.

This was our first time here and we were very skeptical because of both the location and the outside. Once you go in you feel a little safer. I believe our server was the manager and had blonde hair. She sat us outside our section I believe so it was always so hard to get our attention. I had to literally wave her down or walk up to her to get anything done. I'm trying not to complain too much, but when you have to walk up to the server to ask for the check and after about 10-15min she still doesn't come take it from you, something is wrong. Sometimes i would just sit there and observe her to the new customers whom walked in and see much more attentiveness and alertness. Owell. I ended up just paying cash to leave. The other server seemed more nice. Food was really good. Tasted very authentic and the quality was great. Everyone gets chips complimentary. Fajitas came out steaming and sizzling. A little too much salt but still amazing. I would definitely go back if I could get a different server. But I don't think it will be for a while.

Why 3 stars? Because there's not a ton to love. --- --- --- I have lived walking distance from Garibaldi for years and have managed to never once visit until recently. I don't think a return visit will be in the cards. It's not horrible, but I think Taco Bus is definitely better, more convenient, and open 24/7. Oh... it's also less scary and less bullet-hole-y. Yes, there are bullet shaped holes in the wall. My fajitas were... ok. My queso seemed decent at first, but felt more on the cheap side as the bites went on. There were some very loud locals that enjoyed screaming, and doing so often. I don't mean to sound old, but sometimes those young kids* just get too loud these days. *Young kids denotes men twice my age, that also happen to be very loud. Kid-like, if you will. Oh... the highlight were the flavored margaritas. I don't think they were very strong, but they were damn delicious.

Excellent tacos, enchiladas and fish soup. Staff is friendly too! The prices are very reasonable.

Just moved to the area, and if it's Mexican, or pizza, I am going to try it. Stopped in for lunch and wasn't blown away, but am not going to avoid this place either, in fact, I need to try some more before I can fully judge this place. I love chimichangas- so much so, I have been thinking of copyrighting Timmychangas (my new food truck idea). These reminded me of the ones you buy at a walmart in the freezer aisle, but for $6, you don't really have really high expectations. The salsa was good- not spicy, but it had flavor at least. Got a couple tacos as well, and the al pastor was no bueno. It went on the trash after one bite. They have good lunch specials, and I will try it again, but as I said, I won't be hurrying back, and further will not give the pastor a second chance.

Food was good but not worth the price. No lunch prices on the weekend. Almost $30 for 2 people. Iced tea with refills was $7 of it. The refills are NOT free.

Have driven by this place for years, seeing minimal business parking and wondered how they survive in the shadow of the renowned Taco Bus. When we visited on a weekday evening, we were the only customers, so we got quick service and friendly conversation with the only employee outside the kitchen, while watching Telemundo. Prices are very low, and most dishes that we sampled (breaded steak, refritos, rice, salad, sauces, tortillas) were entirely competent and the unique chorizo quesadillas were exceptionally tangy. They have a full bar and reportedly are busier on weekends when the have karaoke. Very low cost margaritas, and some top shelf tequilas for aficionados and lushes who insist they are not alcoholic because they drink name brands.

I love this place, it is very authentic baja style Mexican food. reminds me of the restaurants south of the border near San Diego where I grew up. try the Carne Asada or the chicken flautas.. Yum!!! My girl and I eat here every week for about 20$ with drinks.

Food is authentic and very very delicious. I love their seafood dishes. The Shrimp loaded quesadilla is amazing, so is their seafood variety platter that comes with fried calamari. Ive had several things on their menu and I love all of them. They make their drinks with plenty of alcohol and will add more if its not strong enough. If you are a real mexican you will like this place. I love the mexican music they play. Those who say taco bus is better must not know the difference when they taste food for quality. Taco bus' meat is of the worst quality. Come here if you love mexican

Moved to Tampa a year ago from Chicago, and have been unable to find authentic (good) mexican food, until now. F*** Taco Bus (salty crap). Garibaldi is 1 block away and 100 times better.

Yet another treasure of Seminole Heights thats gets lost in the hustle and hurried world of Hillsborough avenue. A very reasonably priced and deliciious authentic Mexican restaurant. Though the facade of the restaurant may need a little TLC and some orange construction cones, this does not distract from the food itself. My friend and I had great chicken enchilada lunch specials with rice, beans and guacamole. They have a great lunch menu that is very reasonably priced. The $4 margarita wasn't too shabby either! This is a great place to have a quick bite for a business lunch or just for a wuick stop on your way out to run errands, as it happens, that is what I was doing. Service was great and though Taco Bus is litterally 3 or 4 doors down the street, this is a great place to satisfy that Mexican food craving well all so often get!

This place is my main jam. To be honest, I almost don't even want to tell you about it. You can have your Taco Bus and I'll keep Garibaldi's all to myself. AHHAAHA. But mom taught me that sharing is caring, and you can really beat a $5.50 lunch special?! By the way, this gives you chips with salsa, a choice of such lunch menu items like a taco salad, tacos, or a quesadillla (my personal fav) , just to name a few, AND a side of beans and rice. And the portions are just right and GOOD. Add in the friendly staff and you have one of my personal Best of the Bay establishments.

I ordered tequila shots and without asking me gave me Patron and charged $9 per shot and was also charged for two extra drinks I hadn't ordered and when trying to get the issue resolved, they threatened to call the police! I will never visit this establishment again.
