Fiesta Garibaldi

What a puzzle the reviews are. Some over the top, some very negative. We were there last night for Cinco D. M.
We had the app. combo platter. It was huge. Unfortunately it also was blah and just tasteless.
We often go to Fiesta Cancun in Ocon. with fast service, Mexican music in the background and awesome tasty food. Especially their Sunday brunch.
Prices here were — pricey.
Sorry to say, we won’t be back.

This is by FAR the best Mexican restaurant I have ever been too. I grew up in Jefferson County and this was always my go to Mexican restaurant, but even now after living in different cities and trying different restaurants I cannot seem to find anything that compares.
If you love Mexican food, you will love this place and then some! The food is great, tastes authentic, the staff is awesome and fun to talk with, and the margaritas are to die for.
All in all, I cannot recommend this place enough. You MUST eat here!!!

I enjoy coming here to get a bite to eat before shoppin til I drop! Meals come with complimentary chips and salsa. The chips come out nice and warm, and the salsa is great too. They will bring out a mild and hot.
I usually always get the steak burrito, which is HUGE! I always have leftovers to take home. Their Spanish rice is not all that flavorful. I’d say is a better than average Mexican restaurant.

Service was awful and I contracted food poisoning which took 2 weeks to recover from. Never ever again

We stopped here after a weary 12 hour car drive and awful service at another place. We were hungry, tired and cranky!
The wait staff was friendly and had a good sense of humor. Margaritas and mixed drinks were excellent, and just what we needed.
Food was above average — and after the long day — tasted great. Plenty of leftovers! We’d return here for sure.

The service was excellent wish we could say the same for the food. We ordered fish and chips (we just ate the fries, fish was much to be desired– frozen fried fish), burrito platter, beef Flautas, taco dinner and enchilada suizas.

Ugh… I ate here tonight and it. was. awful. My husband said his was gross too. I got a combo plate with a taco, tamale, and chile relleno. The steak in the taco looked and tasted gross and the tamale was obviously frozen (and disgusting). I’m pretty sure none of the stuff was made in house. You’re better off going to El Mariachi or better yet, Taqueria Maria in Watertown. I’m done with Garibaldi’s. (Can’t believe we wasted our money there). Oh, and my husband had a steak burrito. He said after that he hoped he wouldn’t get sick.

They have a very hard working staff. They are always willing to have a conversation with you if you talk to them about things other than ordering food. Their food is the best Mexican food around. I really enjoy their enchiladas Rojas plate. Their food comes out hot and fast. It is always clean as well.

We came here for all you can eat crab legs… We had high hopes and we were not disappointed. The legs were great and the service was excellent. I will deffinately be back.

Shockingly Disgusting! Ground beef chimichanga had pieces of carrot, celery, and potato in it. The crust was soggy instead of crispy because it was clearly microwaved instead of deep fried. My tamales were charred on the ends because they were microwaved instead of steamed, and they were NOT hand rolled as described. The restaurant itself is beautiful, clean and nice windows to look out of. This restaurant is right next door to a meat market which they clearly DO NOT USE. What a shame! If you are looking for indigestion then give them a try, if you want quality food then STAY AWAY. The service was below average, and the televisions broadcast in spanish which is nice for the employees to watch to kill time during their shifts because they sure are not working.

The food was mediocre at best and the service was terrible. The waitress was unable to get the drink or food orders right. When the food arrived, the order was still incorrect. Will not return, would not recommend! And we are still waiting for the check … 20 minutes so far and no sign of our waitress!

The food here is greasier than fast food!
I had a steak enchilada with verde sauce and when I cut it open, it literally oozed with grease. Yuck! I’m someone who will usually finish all the food on my plate, and if I don’t I’ll have it packed up to go. I didn’t finish the food, and I didn’t want to take it home. The food didn’t exactly taste horrible, but I also wouldn’t say it tasted good. Due the excessive amounts of grease, I wound up with a terrible stomach ache a few hours later.
My friends had similar opinions about their dishes of quesadillas and chicken fajitas. In fact, my friend who had the quesadilla said it was the worst she’s ever had. How do you mess up a quesadilla?!
We originally came here because it was an easy meeting place right off the highway for my friends coming from all different directions, but this place will not be worth the convenience in the future!

Fiesta Garibaldi is a great Mexican restaurant. I meet my mom there for dinner on occasion and always have a good meal. They have your standard Mexican items, tacos, burritos, enchiladas, etc. They also have some more unusual items on the menu.
I really like the chicken enchiladas. That is what I order most of the time when I’m there. They are filled with good pulled chicken, and cheese. I like the green sauce the best on top.
The service is good too.

Good service, friendly and helpful waitress. Food tasted good, chicken chimy was tasty. I would go back.

Better than average Mexican food not far from the highway. Nice presentation and attentive friendly staff.

Mmmmm delicious enchiladas! Great beans and rice! Staff is friendly, food comes quick, delicious and piping hot! Their guacamole seems to be a bit hit or miss and the last time we received a basket of stale chips and their complimentary salsa is just OK. Though, it’s their entrees that shine here. My husband had the Quesadillas con Rajas last time and I very much enjoyed the bite I had! I’ve seen a few platters of fajitas making their way to other tables and I must try those next time — they look and smell delicious! All in all, great place!

Excellent restaurant and worth seeking out. Menu does contain Tex-​Mex but there is more. We have explored the menu and know that the Red Snapper dishes are the best items on the menu. This trip I tried the Tampiquena which is a slice of very tender skirt steak with arbol sauce and frijoles de la olla. Was great but too much to eat. Came with grilled potatoes Mexican style I guess. Yum
Try one of the dishes containing chucks of pork. Just depends on with sauce you like better. Excellent

This place has a fun atmosphere and consistantly good food. Their fajitas come with plenty of tortillas too, which is always a plus!

i was surprised to find this place out near Prime Outlet of Johnson Creek. The chips they bring to table right away were thinner than usual and very crisp. Loved them. Came with two types salsa. One was great the other starts a fire in your mouth. Guess some ppl like that. LOL I had the lunch special of 2 enchilada for $ 6.25. It came with salad, beans and rice. No charge for sour cream. My sister had the taco sale which was topped with red and green chips. Such a nice touch. I took a pic with iPhone but don’t think i can post from PC.

Tequila. Tequila tequila tequila. Fiesta Garibaldi’s got it. Somewhere between 30 – 50 varieties, to be not at all exact.
A couple friends and I drove to Johnson Creek to meet a friend from Milwaukee to see a movie, and afterward the four of us decided to grab a drink. We stumbled upon Fiesta Girabaldi, and decided that it looked just festive enough for a drink. What was meant to be one drink ended up being me having half a drink and my three companions getting smashed.
I ordered a strawberry margarita, and was rewarded with a giant (no, seriously, GIANT) blended marg from a machine. While most pre-​mixed margaritas are so-​so, this one was really pretty boozy and not too sugary. After about a quarter of it, I stopped drinking and passed it off to my friend who had spilled much her house margarita rocks. I had volunteered to be the designated driver, and my empty stomach combined with the amount of tequila in my drink was quickly leading to that not being an option.
After getting some free chips & salsa from the bartender, the rest of the gang decided to sample one of the tequilas on the wall behind the bar. One quickly became two, which became three, (the final being compliments of the bartender), and then four with addition of a honey whiskey shot, also compliments of our new best friend.
The bar closes when the restaurant does (11 PM), but the bartender was kind enough to let us stay for about 30 minutes after, allowing some of the tequila to settle.
The downside of the Fiesta Girabaldi bar is that it’s a little pricey — the shots were $ 5 and the margaritas $ 9, and it’s pretty small. However, most people are probably going there for dinner, not a night at the bar, so size and affordability for multiple drinks are probably not the highest of concerns.
