Taqueria Garibaldi — Restaurant in California

Last November, a few weeks after the U.S. Department of Labor had notified owners of Taqueria Garibaldi restaurants in the Sacramento area that it had evidence of overtime and record-keeping violations, one of the chain’s owners showed up at the Howe Avenue eatery with a priest, the government says.

Eduardo Hernandez and the priest walked in during the afternoon shift and asked workers if they wanted to take time out of their day to take confession, according to Labor Department officials.

“Eduardo said a priest would be there to help with mental health,” Maria Parra, a shift leader at the eatery, recalled in a sworn declaration. “I decided to talk to the priest, but as soon as the confession started I found the conversation to be strange and unlike normal confessions, where I would tell a priest about the sins I wanted to confess.” The priest wanted to know if she drank alcohol, or had ever stolen anything, Parra recounted, but also wanted to know about work at the Arden Arcade restaurant.

“The priest had mostly work-related questions, which I thought was strange,” Parra recalled. “The priest asked if I had stolen anything at work, if I was late to my employment, if I did anything to harm my employer, and if I had any bad intentions toward my employer.”

Three months later, Parra was allegedly fired in what federal officials say was retaliation for her cooperating with the investigation and as intimidation of other employees.

The restaurant operators also are accused in court filings of telling workers that if they cooperate with the probe “their immigration status will become an issue and that the Labor Department is looking to report workers “to the immigration authorities to...

Never been to this place before and I had to try it out myself for the very first time yesterday. As I walked in it didn't seem like a pretty busy place but I didn't notice until I gotten my food after I ordered for dine in. That's when alot of people showed up in line and ordered food. Some were even picking up food for delivery apps. Seems like this place is pretty popular by how busy it can get and by how good the food is. I had 2 carne asada tacos and they were really good! They didn't even take that long to have it made either like once when I ordered and after I got my chips and salsa about 5 minutes after or even less thats when I got my 2 tacos. Plus the red salsa they have is good and there chips are a little stale. Overall I like this place because of how fast they are and plus the tacos I had are like a 8/10 meat well cooked, seasoned pretty good, and decent amount of meat but there salsa the one I'm about to include with this review is a 10/10 probably the best salsa I ever had. It is a little spicy though but who doesn't...

Worst experience, my order was given to wrong person and then employee brings me the incorrect meat order and we show the receipt and he grabs it from my hand. And the employee was rude about his mistake that he walked away and threw away the food in the trash in frustration. I am in absolutly embarrassed as other guests got their food and my table didnt get it. Keep in mind its no longer crowded and no lines. The agua frescas in the front are watered down. I came here before covid and it was great food, different employees and now its unexceptional how this restaurant is now. I no longer plan to bring family and friends here. As the manager wasn't able to assist in the situation. He rather said ill get you a new order of food or your money. And guess what he pulled his wallet and threw cash in the table by only refunding me what should have been $16 dollars and change to throwing $15, so disrespect and I no longer plan visit...
