El Garumbullo has 4.2 stars on Yelp with some rave reviews. A Fort Worth diner posted:
“Pazole 10/10!!!!!!! The best I’ve ever had and i eat a LOT of Mexican food. Hole in the walls only. Food came out fresh and piping hot! The green hot sauce was my favvvv. Super spicy but amazing. Loved everything about this place. I also tried their fajita tacos on the side. Greaaaat flavor.”
Another Yelper from Dallas described El Garumbullo as “kind of the anti-chain restaurant” with friendly table service and fresh, authentic food:
“The tacos and enchiladas were both amazing. No ground beef in their tacos just actual fajita meat. The ambiance and atmosphere is more minimalist There are some good art pieces on the wall and they go with their more traditional Mexican flare. It isn’t the chain restaurant that has thousands of random signs and kitschy objects hanging from the walls.”
Hours are Sunday-Thursday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.; and Friday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-11 p.m.
