Love their salsas and happy hour. Great place to come with our toddler, who likes to play on their patio and draw with the chalk they keep on hand. Also they are just incredibly kind to our dog Tony who can be kind of dramatic in the heat. We didn't mention anything at all and look at the bag of ice they brought him lol so sweet read more

Galaxie - Mexican Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Went there with a group of friends around 7pm on a Friday. It wasn't too crowded and we were able to find a table outside for all of 7 of us without an issue. The service was good. We ordered online (via the QR code provided on the table) so all the servers had to do was bring us our food and drinks. I ordered an adobo chicken and an al pastor tostada. They were both tasty. My partner ordered the barbacoa and carnitas tacos and they enjoyed both. We both thought the size of the tostadas and tacos were on the smaller side. You would expect a regular sized taco/tostada for the price they charge. Our friends shared the order of chips and salsa and watermelon salad. Their chips were good and their salsas were all delicious. The watermelon was meh. It almost tasted like it was going bad. I would also like to point out that a person in our group had to complain about their food being too salty. The server tried to make it right and even offered to replace their dish with something else and also offered to comp it. That is great customer service. The food was great overall but the portions were not. read more

We came to Galaxie looking for some good Mexican food and we were not disappointed. You can grab a menu and order inside of the building where you'll be given a number and your choose of tables to select. Before you sit, I recommend getting water, utensils, and some napkins. There are a variety of seating locations, high tops, low tables, benches, covered, uncovered, and even some fire pits that will keep you toasty on rare cold nights! I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of vegetarian options and chose a basic quesadilla with a side of rice and beans (rice is cooked in chicken stock). I would reorder the quesadilla but I would probably skip the rice and beans, they were not super flavorful and the rice was a tad mushy. I really enjoyed the range of hot sauces that was brought out to our table along with the food! My favorite were the two spiciest ones, not sure of their components or names. I would not recommend getting the tortilla chips unless you like really thick and hard tortilla chips. We will definitely be back and I'll continue to explore the menu! read more

It was a Friday night and it wasn't too crowded. Ordering was simple and there was lots of available seating. I ordered a paloma, two fish tacos, and one barbacoa taco. The tacos were just ok, but the paloma was really great. read more

The staff here were super friendly, and though there seemed to be a few crossed wires between the staff, everyone was nice and handled it well. The food was fresh and flavorful, I especially liked the hot hot salsa. The drinks (micheladas) were great, hot sauce not clamato! We sat at the bar to beat the heat, which was comfortable and the bartender was sweet. I'm happy to see this place has bounced back! read more

Just amazing taco's, y'all. They've definitely turned it around since the early days and it's now a fix on my 'permanent visit list'. Every taco is a little boat of flavor, balance and deliciousness. I'm an addict for their fish tacos. Perfectly battered and fried to crispy perfection. You don't need to smother it with any sauces, just a dab of lime n it's divine. I dare you to try and eat just one; the Barbacoa is my other favorite. Deep, (not too) rich, sweet medley of flavor that will have you salivating just thinking about it. Seriously, the tacos are on point. They also have a nice selection of mezcal if that's your thing. They've done a great job with the outdoor space, plenty of seating so great for large groups. Be sure to ask for those little table-spinner things they use for the flies in the Summer bc they're always trying to get in on the action. I would be remiss if I didn't mention they have the most kind staff I've run across in a while. Definitely keep this place in the repertoire, possibly the best taco on this side of town. read more

I had an annoying headache so I needed to eat something hearty in a walking distance. Galaxie was on the next block so just randomly picked a burrito and SO GLAD I DID! Their chicken burrito was $10 and worth every penny! The ingredient that stood out the most was the flavor of the chicken. It's was shredded and so good. My headache went away after this food! Will be back for a dine-in when I'm in the area soon! read more

The ambiance is good drinks are even better but the food is lackluster especially the tacos and quesadillas they're tiny corn tortillas and honestly the tortillas are not that good, they should do flour or if you do corn they need to be bigger and darker in color. The service was great as well very friendly staff, the menu for tacos and quesadillas should be revised. read more

Truly, a cultural Latin oasis featuring flavors directly from Oaxaca and Mexico City. The staff in front and back of the house work feverishly to get every detail of the experience perfect. Tommy's margarita is infused with orange bitters elevating this libation to fiesta level. Tried it frozen in a 16 oz pour. The corn tortillas are house made with the main ingredient coming from Oaxaca. These came out warm and emanated a fresh salivating aroma. This is a great discovery and I can't wait to come back and try the steak tortas. read more

Out strolling and came across a taco place. A great outdoor space and bartender was friendly. We got drinks to go since we just were out and about. Saw some friends leaving and they said they enjoyed their meal. We will be back so I can update once we eat. But the drinks were strong and even came with kids to walk out with. No spillage while walking! read more

Second visit in 2 months, and both experiences my order was "lost" leading to 40-50 minutes of wasted time. First time, I placed my order at the table using the QR code. They gave my order to the wrong table. Second time, I placed my order inside at the kiosk with staff thinking it would be safer but was wrong. Decided to give it a second chance bc they gave me a free shot to make up for it. The second time, it was 3pm on a quiet Saturday without that many people there. Maybe 10 more parties come after me, small groups or couples. Everyone else gets their order within 10-15 min. They gave me my drink, but then the waitress took my number away even though I'm still waiting for food and watching everyone else get theirs. Then 50 minutes goes by until I check in and follow up, the staff acts completely shocked when they walked me many times and even tried to give me someone else's order who probably arrived 20-30 min after I did. All tacos were cold and bland without any flavor. Tacos tasted store-bought. The frozen drink and outdoor seating are the only redeeming factors. Not coming back. So many other better places nearby with far better service. read more

Great place for groups and good weather. I enjoyed the steak nachos and the jungle bird. The staff is friendly, and the food is made to order. It can take a while for them to find the table but relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Very laid back. read more

I avoided this place like the plague for many years! Anytime I asked a friend that had eaten here what they though of the food the opinions were always the same "over priced", "pretentious hipster staff", "food is ok but not worth the price" so you can see why avoided it; that is until Pablo Reyes took over the kitchen. I've had Pablo's food a few times and I am happy to report that Galaxie is in good hands. The happy hour menu is tasty and light highly recommend the tostadas. Cocktails are solid, the frozen mango Margarita was excellent. My favorite thing on the menu was the torta took me right back to the street food stalls of Mexico city. The Birria tacos "puro fuego"! Great to have to have another chill place near my house to enjoy some tacos. read more

Very good Mexican restaurant! Fresh and well prepared shrimp tacos. The nachos using queso fresco were uniquely good and not as dried out as other nachos.

Located in the Bywater made for easy parking. The atmosphere was fun, casual, pet/family friendly and all outdoors. We ordered at the register, sat ourselves, and picked up food and drinks when the buzzer they gave us went off. Our group of 7 ordered several types of tacos, chips and drinks. Drinks: I liked the bar set up as this used to be a gas station or mechanic garage...its cute. The margaritas were stiff! Cokes come in a glass bottle. Water is self serve. Tacos: Everyone agreed that the fish tacos were the best. The chicken and El Pastor tacos tied for second. The tortillas were house made, tasted ok, and on the small side. Chips: Chips we're fresh and yummy. The salsa was ok. The guacamole could use a LOT less lime, honestly all you could taste was lime. They don't have queso but they have this "grilled/fried cheese" that was interesting to try, it had the resemblance of a fruit roll up. It was a nice evening with my friends. read more

This place has to be the worst trendy taco place ever. I had the tacos and they were decent. The queso was fried hard cheese and looked like a quesadilla. Wasn't what I was expecting and wasn't good. Next was the Bria tacos. The consume was so sweet couldn't even eat it. Next up were the drinks. They didn't have flavorful regular margaritas and the frozen drink I did have was spicy. Overall seems like the recipes came from TikTok and taste is on par with the lack of flavor this part of Bywater is now experiencing. read more

This place has a top-notch bar program with a focus on tequila I must say! I been twice and I was not disappointed yet! If you like tequila, actually if you need a reason to like tequila you should try this place out. I have tried the Jalisco Sour and the Frozen Paloma and they both were delicious and sexy. These cocktails say the word... LUXURY... I'm serious about this. We all need to feel luxurious from time to time. This is a great location to hang with friends or a date, be advised this is an outdoor location, so plan accordingly. They have a cute garden seating section with some cool architecture going on as well! Street parking should be easy in this location. read more
