“I recently discovered this gem of a place close to home. The space is cozy and peaceful, and the staff are wonderfully friendly and welcoming. The food is outstanding in every way—from the vibrant presentation and colors to the rich flavors and generous portions. Given the quality and size of the meals, the prices are fantastic. I tried the carnitas plate and the birria tacos, and both were delicious. I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommended if you’re looking for great food and a relaxed spot away from the noisy, busy streets of Stamford!“

Loved the mango mule, mushroom tacos, esquites, maduros, and guac. Definitely want to come back!“

“Tacos 10/10. And fast service too!

My husband and I waited 40+ mins at another local restaurant for tacos and decided to close the tab and leave because we were that hungry. Within 10 minutes of ordering at taqueria garibaldi, we got our tacos.

We got carnitas, birria, chorizo and carne asada tacos.
All extreme juicy and delicious. Way more Mexican authentic than the other place.

At first $6 seems like a lot for 1 taco, however they come meat heavy and for that flavor…we will go again.

Service was great too, great music and atmosphere.“

“2nd time to this place - ofc one is bc i liked the tacos and two I want to take pics this time and write them a review so more people can see it and come give it a try. Def love the birria tacos, fresh and tasty. Portion is big for me but nothing I need to complain about. The soup is just perfect for dipping. One little advice - add some homemade chili sauce or deep fried peppers to add some extra spicy for those who love spice. Will def come again.“
