Plaza Garibaldi

Really great place fir American-style Mexican food. I liced in Mexico City and the Riviera Maya for 13 years, so Mexican food to me has to have the authenticity it should have. Plus, I had eateries in Mexico and know the foods. For American-style or Tex-Mex, this place is great. I did not have everything on the menu and hope to go back. I had chile relleno and a shredded beef tamale, both were definitely Tex-Mex but absolutely delicious! My friend has chicken in cream sauce with zucchini and that was excellent. The beans and rice were typical and good. The tortillas fresh and warm, and perfect, fresh salsa. I suspect the meats were precooked, I know the look and flavor, but it wouldn't matter as both dishes were huge, also utterly Tex-Mex, but wonderful! Oh, grab a flan, too! Mmmmm! The atmosphere was stellar to me, all Mexican style and decor... and pure Latin music that my friend said I was singing or humming along to , sll made me feel like I was back in Mexico, where I often feel I belong. Lovely Hispanic waitress or server, delightful, attentive, friendly and helped make it a more authentic visit! To be fair. I have never had Mexican food in the U.S. that I would call authentic. Mexico's own national and local ingredients are not comparable to here ehen prepping Mexican foods, no matter what someone says to make you think otherwise. So, my 5 stars is a notable one here and you should just go there expecting excellent Mexican foods prepared in the states and eat and drink in a full, Mexican atmosphere! And, if you're ever in Mexico City, go to The Plaza Garibaldi and feast on everything there, including the world famous mariachis! Lordy! What eye candy there! Plaza Garibaldi in Seattle is worth a visit!

Great Mexican place in a spot where you wouldn't expect it. We spend a lot of time in Southern California. This is as good as any of those places. The waitress was amazing and food arrived quickly. I had chili colorado and another one in our party vegetarian tacos made with black beans. Both were excellent.

Found this place in downtown Seattle. Couple of blocks from the Space Needle. Impressed with how fast the service was. Ordered what I get at every Mexican restaurant, combo fajitas. The best fajitas are always marinated. These weren't but were seasoned well with a unique flavor. The cadillac margarita was strong and the deep fried ice cream was nice and crunchy. Overall a very good experience. Will be back to Seattle next week and may try again unless I find another gem.
