Taqueria Garibaldi's — Restaurant in Pelham

We loved Tequeria Gerabaldi. We’ve gone there since we moved here and all through my pregnancy. BUT! About 3 weeks ago, I called in food for my mom to pick up and when she went, there was a man working the front instead of the amazing woman that usually does. He gave her the wrong food. When we called back to let them know that it was the wrong food and we needed a refund. He yelled at her!! Said she took the wrong food and it was her fault, that we could come back and get the right food. It was rush hour and I have a newborn baby. (Which is why my mom grabbed it) We just wanted a refund. We have never asked for that or experienced this before there. He said to come back tomorrow when his wife was back and they’d give us the refund. When we went back the next day, my mom went in while I drove the newborn around. AGAIN, he told her she took the wrong food and she explained that she took the food he put on the counter in front of her. He was yelling, pulled $8 from the register and THREW it at her. (A refund for Steak Fajitas, cheese dip and chips and salsa) I could see all of this from the car. My mom just gave up and this man FOLLOWED her out and screamed at her to never come back!! For mental image, my mom is meek, 5’2 and on oxygen for lung disease. 😭😭😡😡 We WILL NOT BE BACK. It was...

Best of both worlds.

This place has solid reviews and for good reason. Probably the greatest distinctive of this establishment is its combination of traditional US Tex-Mex fair - complete with chips and salsa before etc. - and authentic Mexican tacos with fresh cilantro and onions etc. which you often find at sparser, smaller taco places.

If you're looking to take reluctant family members out for Mexican but also want you're own good authentic food like the Mexican tacos, sopes, churros etc, then this place may be what your looking for. The tacos were good; good sauce, fresh cilantro and onions brought out separately before hand. Verde sauce was not present by default, and we didn't bother to ask on this trip.

The sope was excellent; the churros were the best I've ever had (though I'm not especially well-traveled in re to churros). The salsa which came with the chips was excellent with ample fresh cilantro etc. The guacamole is just ok - more like passible; probably the low point of what we got, but not necessarily bad or anything.

Great atmosphere and excellent, EXCELLENT service. EDIT: We've been eating here for a couple of years now I guess, and they treat us like family. This is our favorite...

I went to Taqueria Garibaldi's on Cinco de Mayo. There are a few great things that set this restaurant apart:

Atmosphere: The setting and general appearance and feel of the restaurant is not only authentic, but cozy and inviting. The Staff: In addition to a friendly setting, the staff adds to an enjoyable time by being extra-helpful, friendly, and familial. It is an absolutely lovely bunch of people. Sound: There is just the right amount of noise. I think it probably has to do with the carpeting, quiet atmosphere, or medium crowd level...or maybe, it is just magic. I am not sure :). There is music, and there is speaking, but it is not overwhelming or taxing on the ears. You can actually hear yourself and others talk, and yet it is not so entirely quiet that you feel self-conscious when speaking. The Food: The food is well-made, authentic, and just spicy enough for the typical taste. It is prepared in a quick manner, but does not resemble Taco Bell in the slightest. There is obviously a nice level of quality here!

Overall, the experience here was great. There is nothing in my mind that needs improvement. The ownership has done an absolutely...
