Garibaldi (Apopka) Mexican Restaurant & Bar in Apopka - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Wow! my girlfriend and I went here on a whim. It was excellent couldn't have been more happy. The service was great atmosphere was lively, and the food was awesome. the food came out so fast and was hot and fresh. The portions were great for the price. most certainly will be back soon!!

We are here almost every weekend! Alex is the best bartender! Best margaritas & the food is always amazing!🤩

Food was bland service average atmosphere

Always love to eat here old family favorite for those "Mexican food" cravings.

It's a little loud for me, but the food and service were great!!

This used to be my favorite Mexican restaurant. I'm writing my review while sitting at the restaurant listening to techno music, which makes the atmosphere chaotic and out of place. It used to be a great experience with good Mexican food and Latin music, now you end up with a headache and mediocre food. I order the steak tacos and my daughter order the steak quesadilla, first of all they brought her a chicken quesadilla which we had to send back cause it was the wrong thing. The steak in both dishes had zero flavor, nothing, nada, no seasoning what so ever. My husband order the burritos rancheros which is pork and they were to salty. None of us finished the dishes and I left with a headache. I guess we had to look for a new Mexican Restaurant cause this one is not as it used to be.

The atmosphere was very nice and accommodating but the food was average. The service was okay.

Well , just let me tell you i was in the area and i pass by Garibaldi Mexican restaurant, and sat at the bar and i was warm welcome by Alex the bartender , he offered me drinks and food in a very professional manner, i ordered a casa amigos mango margarita, which was amazing , and i also ordered a ceviche for appetizer ,which was the best and i ordered carne azada for entree and was very delicious, everything was very exceptional the food was great and the service was even better Alex was great!!!!!! I m definitely coming back !!!!

I've always loved Garibaldi, the food is always delicious. For me it's one of the best Mexican restaurant in this area. The new location is great, bigger, and has a great atmosphere!! Margaritas are strong!! the mixed Sangririta looks great and tastes delicious. They have recently updated the decoration, and how they plate the food!!👍👍

Went here for the first time on Sunday! And this place is so beautiful the owner did their big one !! And the employees put everything together with their fast service smiles !! And most of all amazing DRINKS AND FOOD!!! if you’re debating on this place ITS A MUST!!!

Good service and excellent quality food.

Absolutely loved the Quesadilla...the margaritas were great too!

I had the opportunity to do a job there in Garibaldi and I saw what normally the client cannot see... what I can tell you is the most impeccable and clean kitchen that I have seen in restaurants, the truth is that it makes you eat there with confidence everything very clean... my respects 👏

Beautiful place , great food and excellent service. Zulema was awesome . I will definitely come back often

I got my food quick , Im vegan so I understand asking for my cheese on a cheese dish is kind of hard lol , drinks are amazing , service is great !

When they say spicy margarita, they MEAN SPICY MARGARITA. There were about 15 jalapeños in it. You get what you ask for. I loved it (not so much later that evening). We were seated and immediately brought a warm basket of chips and fresh salsa. The service was very slow at first, and our waiter actually never showed up. Another waitress noticed we were sitting and waiting and picked up our table. She was amazing and really took care of us. This place is HUGE - I can tell it must pop off on busy days. We happened to come on a quiet afternoon, but we'll have to come back on a weekend and sit inside. It looks lively and fun. I ended up getting the Pollo Giribaldi. It was a LOT of food, and cooked to perfection. I love a plate that comes with tortillas so you can cut everything up and DIY tacos. Big fan. Very yum. I complained about how spicy the margarita was the whole time, then I ordered another one. I had no regrets.

Best authentic Mexican food! Family owned! Top class atmosphere and dining experience.

Message for the Torres family (owners): After being a loyal patron for 22 years, I will not be returning to your restaurant, because of my experience with your manager Hector at the Apopka location. I have owned a bar since 2011 and if my management treated customers the way I was treated, they would be FIRED!!

This is our go-to Mexican place and has been since I was a kid growing up here! The food is amazing, the vibes are on point, we always get excellent service! Skinny margarita and a grilled chicken chimichanga!!

I haven’t been able to experience food & drink quality , service, or atmosphere like this anywhere since pre-COVID. I was expecting to pay over 100$ for the two of us to each have a big meal with leftovers and a (STRONG) drink. The inside was also decorated beautifully.

The young man who waited on our table was attentive and did everything we asked to make our lunch enjoyable.

We have come here several times and have not been disappointed. We are very pleased with the multiple vegetarian options for both adults and children. The food has been good every time and my kids ask for Garibaldi whenever Mexican food is mentioned. The one thing that we don't like is that they play music very loud. Fortunately there is outside seating available that is much quieter for a more pleasant experience. The food is reasonably priced and the service is very good. We will continue to come back in the future.

Food and drinks are amazing but It is very very very loud and trying to get your server is challenging.

Horrible management and server. Just rude all around. They upcharge you on cocktails if you ask for something different. I asked for a particular brand and they put something else. End of the day it cost me $16 per drink. I had two and management told me as a customer you should not that very smartly. I said no the waiter should inform your guest so they know and can make a decision if they want to do it or not. He was so busy telling me that he's been there for 8 years and insulting me and my sister as a guest of the restaurant he couldn't hear anything else and missed the principal of the situation. And for those reasons I won't go back again just based on that experience. You lost a customer and this place was a recommendation and only my second time coming. I brought my sister for the first time as she lives out of state. NEVER EVER AGAIN.

Always great service, excellent food, and great margaritas. Kinda a Miami/Mexican/Cuban Vibe.

Really great service and great food! The margaritas were delicious, too!

Excellent service, very delicious food, very pleasant and familiar atmosphere

Food was amazing! Super fresh and very flavorful. The restaurant was super clean and service was excellent! I would highly recommend this place, but this place will get packed fast so make sure to make a reservation or come early.

We have been coming to this resturant for past 4 years at least 3 to 4 times a month. But last few times we notice a change , the quality and the taste of the food is not the same. Something has changed 😡

Alway a pleasure dinning here. This has become my weekly dining places and every time I come the food never disappoints. Aesthetically pleasing.

The fried tilapia is good, as well as the birria empanadas

I'm not sure what was going on, whether it was a Monday or what, but the atmosphere, service, and overall ambiance felt very different. We live Garibaldi, and every time we visit Orlando, we always love to eat here. This time wasn't that great. But the food is always good.

Great place the vibe is there. Good price. Large servings, wish had a little more spices, but overall good place to go for a date or for a drink.

Wow the food was so delicious. It wasn’t salty or oily. The atmosphere was amazing.

Great little spot, fajitas for 2 were good. Fast friendly service.

1st time visiting and the scenery is amazing. However that’s where it starts and ends! Customer service and patience level of the waitress was very disgusting!! Every 5 mins upon arrival she would ask if we were ready to order, never giving us enough time to browse the unfamiliar menu to the point my other guess no longer wanted to order due to feeling rushed an uncomfortable! Only reason I gave 3 stars is due to the supporting staff who stepped in to help our impatient waitress. Would probably visit again a stay clear of that particular waitress.

Celebrated my mom's birthday here and the vibe was great! Awesome food, tasty margaritas and daiquiris. Suelly was the best! She was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly!

Love eating here, service was great!

Good Margarita, good food. You can choose to be inside or outside.

This place had an amazing atmosphere my mom got a Don Julio and she said they were very strong and tasted amazing the churros were also amazing amazing music 🎶 🎵 😋 👌 😍

Food and drinks are always good!

Enjoyed the food and the ambiance!!

The atmosphere, food, and service were all excellent !!! I was partial to the Don Julio margaritas 🍹

Great food, fair prices, and fun atmosphere!

Burrito California was great! The grilled chicken Fajitas Garibaldi is great. They have chips and salsa which are good. The place is loud but it is expected because it's so busy. If you like Mexican food definitely go here at least once. Service is great (except once our server forgot about us for 45 minutes but it was an accident).

It's the worst store I have ever stopped at. Costumer service is the worst. The lady working in the day is rude n mean n stinks bad. The dude at night is worthless n lazy.

Had a friend's birthday lunch party, and it was just wonderful. This was my first first time there the atmosphere was festive and the waiter was great!! Food was great.

The best service in my entire life... since I arrived everything was extremely fast drinks appetizer food extremely ridiculously fast service... the flavor and freshness of the food is on another level and the waiter was on point!!! First time and I already want to return.. super recommended... thanks to all the staff who made the entire experience possible...

We had a great time. Dinners were great. Drinks literally sent my wife over the top. Until I ordered desert. I have been looking for a place that served fried ice cream and they had it on the menu. Unfortunately, what I got was ice cream rolled in cornflakes. Please either make the real thing or take it off the menu. Knocked me down a peg on how I felt when I left. But food was good and would return.

My Server was amazing...like never before here! Thank you Wendy!!!

Carne Asada and fresh guac is amazing!! Great pleace to eat and socialize ❤️

Best Mexican Food in Apopka!!! Have been going here for years!! Always a great time!! Food and Service are both EXCELLENT!!!

What ever Mexican food in .....

Staff wonderful! Food yummy! Service super.

Good option! And it takes a lot of time, due to its good location and accessibility.

Garibaldi is a fantastic Mexican restaurant that delights with its authentic cuisine and vibrant atmosphere. The menu offers a variety of flavorful dishes, from savory tacos to rich, complex mole sauces. The warm, welcoming staff and festive decor enhance the dining experience, making Garibaldi a top choice for anyone craving genuine Mexican food.

I love this place especially the margarita. Can't have but one or I need Uber! Foods always been good and love the lively atmosphere.

Delicious, great service, absolutely what we were looking for! Best blue margaritas!

Birria tacos are alllllll I see on my FYP on TikTok... went to chick fil a one night and told the hubby we needed a date night there SOON! two months later... we get to go on a double date .. I was SO EXCITED to try Birria tacos for the first time and YUCK! I mean ZERO seasoning.. I thought Mexicans were like black people when it comes to seasoning food! tasted like a white man was back there.. rice was cold... worst experience ever. hubby enjoyed his shrimp tacos so that was nice... it tasted like beef stew to say the least... Jesus was A MA Z I N G ! He gets a 12/10.

Love the staff , the food , the ambiance

Fun place to go to eat and always a great place to celebrate

Pretty average tastung food, service was quick and good. Salsa seemed canned and thin but had some onion chunks. Shredded chicken was very flavorful, but the ground beef was a bit cardboardish. The real positive is how clean the restaurant is. A server spilled a drink and 5 people quickly cleaned it up, even brought out the wet swiffer. Tables cleaned immediately after people left. If you like clean eat here,

Food here is great, service the two times has been perfectly fine. But this second time a different server spilled a drink right by out table which splashed all over my leg. No one really acknowledged that this happened until I had to find the manager just to ask for the check because my SOCK was wet.

This place is one of the best Mexican restaurants with top atmosphere, top Latin music and top food and drinks in Apopka. It feels like there’s a Dominican/Puertorican playlist. The staff is super family friendly and place is clean. They take pride in creating a cool atmosphere with fun and modern colorful decorations.

Was a awesome experience and enjoyed every minute.

We have been visiting Garibaldi's since it opened in 2000. It has always been one of our favorite restaurants. The restaurant has changed over the years but the service and food has always been the best. We love Garibaldi's.

The atmosphere is very cute! My food was delicious. I had the birria tacos that come with rice that taste amazing and a Pina colada. You also get free chips and dip. I would definitely return. No complaints!

Our server dropped off our food & never came back. The guacamole was excellent

We have enjoyed Garibaldi's for years. It always has Great Food and Beverages

Nice place! You can try the new pineapple and hot caramel dessert

Always a great experience. Some of the best service around. We have four children and regardless of how busy the restaurant is, we can be in and out in 45 min the an hour. I highly recommend.

Mariachis yummy Food Mango’s Tango’s taco nacho salsa and cheese are glue that holds my tongue and life together. Ultimate guilt free pleasure for us all. the best margaritas ever with delicious dip. No regrets about life choices giving & taking some nachos, it’s only happiness we can’t buy anymore deliciousness nachos for chips.

Celebrated a co worker birthday here and had a great time

How many times can I say I LOVE THIS PLACE. Best food, service always a great atmosphere to be in.

Been there twice and have enjoyed my meal as well as the service

Because of the language barrier, the bartenders and servers are not very friendly. As a customer, I remember them and I try to communicate with them in Spanish. Not a lot of effort put forth on their behalf.

Excellent Food. Good Service. Nice family atmosphere but a little loud to have a conversation

Came here for the first time and will definitely be back! Tried the birria tacos and they were delicious! Really cool atmosphere too

The best ever I would die to try it again!!!!

Food was good but the service was not so great. It was busy but the waiter didn't check on us and then they included a tip when we only had 4 adults at the table, they counted the 3 year old kids which I thought was odd. We got the fajitas and queso which we're both good and the jalapeno Marg and mango Marg were also 👌🏼

I had an amazing dining experience at Garibaldi Restaurant! The margaritas were incredible, especially the guava, passion fruit, and strawberry flavors – each one was perfectly crafted and refreshing. The Garibaldi nachos were absolutely delicious, loaded with toppings and bursting with flavor. And the guacamole? Simply five-star, fresh, and creamy. The birria tacos were amazing!! I can't wait to come back and enjoy more of their fantastic menu. Highly recommended!!!

Very expensive for just a little salsa or can guacamole. Fresh guacamole just a little cup cost you...

Best Mexican food in central Florida and an atmosphere of fun and happiness. Extremely family friendly and a killer house margarita.

Perfect place for dinner with family and friends. The best margaritas.

Food, service, everything was amazing. Very strongly recommend the Steak Garibaldi.

The restaurant decor and atmosphere is chill. They offer complimentary chips and salsa (a bit hot), but the food was average and nothing to rave about. My shrimp quesadilla barely had any cheese. I showed the waiter and he said “there’s cheese. I don’t know what else to tell you”. You could tell he didn’t want to be there.

Friday after work, super busy, service was good as was dinner. Way to noisy for me. Wish I got take out. I'm older and I don't like louder places. Not a knock on restaurant , Respectfully, Mark.

Zulima , always great service and great SMILE the food is great and of course the Margarita

I've been coming here with my family and friends since they opened. Great atmosphere, for just a drink, to enjoy some good Mexican food or both! There's plenty of parking, service is great and there is a good variety of food and drinks.

The food was very disappointing

The food, the atmosphere, the decoration and the service is 5 stars, it is always a pleasure to come here. I recommend it 100%

Excellent service, warm and attentive. The excellent bar.

SERVICE: Lively Mexican spot with cool artwork & decoration through the restaurant. The food & drink portion sizes are great for the price. Place was packed on a Friday night but we only had to wait 10 mins for a table. The service here was the best. Our server Juan Diego recommended the nachos & other great entrees. He also recommended the passionfruit margarita which was a 10/10. Definitely recommend this place if you wanna get your money’s worth.

Excellent food and above all excellent service, we will return 👍

I love this place! But it is too noisy. Inside and outside.

This restaurant is a must go!!! Everything was GREAT!! Customer service was AWESOME!! Food was FANTASTIC!!

It’s good place. Like the food and drinks. No happy hour.😏 but do recommend it.

Excellent food and a wonderful atmosphere to share

Loved the vibes! Nyomi was a pleasure super sweet and attentive definitely will come back

The ambiance is a 10/10, they were bumpin' and we still got seated quicker than the initial wait time. The whole place smells fantastic, servers were super fast and seemed to know exactly how to handle a busy restaraunt and most importantly - the food was *awesome*. We were incredibly hungry when we got there so I was ready for a huge meal, and while I was a little worried about the portion size when it came out I was very happy to be proven wrong 😂 My husband finished my chimi bc I could not. The guava margarita was also SO good, all the veggies were fresh, honestly I have no complaints. We will definitely be back here, now we see why it was so packed!!! Add to that - The free starter chips and salsa, 2 full meals, an extra side of rice and beans, a soda, and a large margarita came in at just over $50, which for a sit down of such high quality food in this area is awesome. Miraaaaaa 👀 estava bien rico todo!! Ya le dije a mi mama que lo voy a llevat a ella a este lugar porque seguro le va encantar! Muy allegre el ambiente, y la comida realmente estava bien frescito y rico! Muy amable la gente trabajando tambien :)
