    Vanessa was amazing! We had a concert to attend last night. She got us in and out. With providing great guest service and she was courteous too. The seafood paella was amazing and the sangria I could drink everyday. My cousin wanted to try the plantain nachos and I didn’t. I tried them and they were AMAZING!!! So definitely worth the trip!!!!!!

    The food was phenomenal. The service was great. The only complaint I could have is that the space itself is so small! It's not overcrowded. I just wish they had a bigger space.

    The food is new to me but it was good. Only 2 people working Foh so they timed it okay large portions but French fried in heavy use. I would g back and I am the most judging person in food. Likely dinner is better than brunch.

    Every employee was masked and wearing gloves. The bar area is still surrounded by plexiglas. It’s long past time to drop all Covid-related things. The menu is smaller than it once was and the pricing is quite high. My wife’s arepa was quite greasy. We used to live this restaurant but I do not want to be reminded of the nonsense we endured in 2020 and 2021. Time to move on and return to normal.

    I took my friend for dinner to celebrate her birthday. She's never eaten Venezualan food. Vanessa greeted us at the door and we were treated like royalty the whole evening, not to mention our food was fantastic! She even lit a birthday candle for my friend on our dessert! We'll be back again!

    Amazing! A memorable meal and experience. Myself and two friends met up on a Saturday night to have dinner and catch up. It was my first time to Garrido’s and I picked it because they had a few vegan options for myself and it’s not always easy to come by creative vegan food. All of us are beyond happy we went to Garrido’s. Upon coming in I was welcomed by an intimate space and smiles so big and warm I could see them behind the masks that all the staff were wearing (I appreciate the level of safety the take for themselves and us dinners). Sat by the window and enjoyed the ambiance of this quaint, familial space. It was cozy and felt special to be there that night. You can tell there is love in this restaurant. I had the black bean arepa and will be going back for another soon it was so good. I kept thinking about it the day after - hence a memorable experience. My one friend enjoyed the salmon which was perfectly cooked and a healthy portion of both fish and the sides. The other friend had the cesar salad and raved about the freshness of the dressing and enjoyed the shrimp she added to it. Our server, who I believe was Matt or Mike, took great care of us, had a great knowledge of the menu and served genuine hospitality. Overall highly recommend! Grab a Caribbean Martini and enjoy one of the best dinning experiences I’ve had in metro detroit. Thank you to all who were working Saturday April 8th you provided us all with a wonderful experience 💖

    Garrido's is one of our favorite places! We live nearby and can walk to it. The food is amazing and completely unlike anything we can get in the area. It is important to know the restaurant is very small, and some of tables are extremely close together. Also, the food may take awhile to come out--but it is worth it! The owners and servers are extremely friendly and kind.

    Great all-around. Amazing food, can't be beat for amazing flavors and spices (my favorite are the Seafood specialties). Also, great Old Fashioned's, you gotta try one. Went with a friend last night, who had never been, and they were similarly impressed.

    Overall a wonderful place. Enjoyed the appetizer and mango margarita. My group had a pleasant experience. Unfortunately my salmon was off - rancid taste in my mouth. Most importantly they took away the plate immediately once I drew attention to it and I was able to order something else. Nice atmosphere, nice decor. Charming and warm.
