Great atmosphere, kind attentive staff. They have a great selection of beer and wine and the tacos, grilled cheese birria and Micheladas are fire! read more

The tacos were amazing! I wanted to try the grilled cheese but the wings were calling to me. 10/10- Buffalo Hot wings 10/10 - Quesabirria Tacos My friends ordered the shrimp tacos & the regular asada tacos and ordered more after because it was so good. The grilled cheese looked delicious. I'll have to try it next time. I didn't know they had desserts! The brownie was soooo good! The beers were delicious. I had tried the rose spritz and my friends ordered micheladas and wow. They were delicious. I will be back! read more

Here's the good, there is a lot of seating and the place has a variety of beers etc., if you're a drinker. Also the asada fries can be shared by 2 people! It's A LOT OF FOOD. I wish I would have known that or I would've asked, we couldn't even finish them. The asada torta was also pretty good, but a little on the basic side for tortas I will say. The restaurant doesn't really feel like a restaurant though since you basically do have to order at the bar, and they just bring the food to you. I kind of assumed that the price increase was because you'd get actual customer service vs. just going up and ordering at the bar. Further talk points, the 3 items You see here came out to around $60 with a large coke that we shared. It's definitely on the pricier side for Mexican food, and I don't remember their food truck being this expensive. So if you're looking for a cheap meal this place isn't it. I know everything's expensive but $20 for asada fries is something to think about. Also parking on weekends is a little hectic it took us a little bit of time to find parking since the parking lot was packed. Was definitely cool to try their actual restaurant though. I will say they had a deal of happy hour that seemed pretty decent, so I'd look into that if you're trying to come here and not spend a lot of $$. read more

Food is just ok and kinda bland tasting. Tacos are basically meat and melted cheese. The tacos are small and cost too much for what they are. The menu is very limited and has most of what you will find at their taco trucks. At the restaurant there is almost no service and to order you have to walk up to the bar to order and the you wait at your table for the food to be brought out to you that whole process takes 20-30 minutes. Also, all the seating is all outside and that makes the uncomfortable on hot days and on very good days. read more

The food is soooooo good! I tried crispy chicken tacos first and I was amazed by it then i tried fish tacos and was blown away! So flavorful, a bit spicy but chicken and fish are so delicious! The service is amazing and great outdoor environment! Would definitely go back! read more

$20 carne asada fries.. with nothing but cheese, meat and sour cream (i opted for pico on the side) Given what was on the fries Id be more willing to pay $20 for a smaller portion if the fries have more things on top like guac, pickled onions, etc...but $20 for just fries, cheese and meat is crazy. Id love to see more toppings especially at that price range. Other than that, loved the ambiance and the dj that was playing cumbia!! read more

Galvan's Eatery - Carne asada fries - Beer Gardens Near Me - Cotati, California

It's always great to see a food truck sprout roots! It feels like a sign of success and things done right (way to go!). I'm also a sucker for al fresco dining, so when I heard that Galvan's Eatery had opened next to the Cotati Oliver's Market, I was excited to give 'em a try! The menu is short and simple (tacos, quesadillas, etc.)... Ordering is walk-up... but somehow this doesn't feel like a taqueria. I'm not 100% sure why, but the important thing is it is DELICIOUS! They have a killer taco Tuesday deal and sitting outside under the sun with a few crispy tacos and a cold beer felt very right. The highlight: The Crispy Pancho taco. A really nice quesabirria taco with 2 fat, succulent shrimp added into the mix. It's the perfect surf-and-turf bite. Tacos are served with the traditional radish and seared serrano chili... magic! The service was friendly enough, but just OK. You will have to order twice if you want a drink, as drinks cannot be ordered from the host stand where they take food orders. They also only brought out half of my order, which meant my lunch company spent the second half of their meal eating alone while I waited for mine to get sorted. Not a big deal, but with such a straight-forward menu and a sparse lunch crowd, it felt odd. All in all, I will certainly be back! So glad to see this terrific location get a new face, and who can say "no" to a melty, crunchy taco and fun music under the sun? Not me. read more

Galvan's in Cotati is the perfect spot to hang out with your friends, be it in a small or large group, there is a lot of space. Seating is first come first serve, you order at the kiosk by the entrance & are handed a number to take to your seat for your food to be brought out to you, then you order your beer/drinks at the bar. They have a nice variety of local craft beer on tap & they offer a few N/A beers & sodas as well. The food is good, my go-tos are the crispy pancho, the quesabirria & the shrimp grilled cheese. Aside from that the rest of the menu is not my fav, prices are quite high for what's considered Mexican street food. But overall a great place to hang! read more

Wish I would have tried Galvan's a long time ago when they'd pull up to Parliament Brewing in their trailer. Now that they have their new location in Cotati and it's been a short time since they opened, I figured I'd check em out. Tons of outdoor seating to enjoy good Quesabirria tacos and brews on a beautiful sunny day with a few TV's to keep up with your favorite sports team. Chicken tacos were juicy and the salsa is spicy and had a build up the more you consume it, so beware. Quesabirria tacos are on the smaller side but really flavorful. Variety of good beer on tap, would love to come back as soon as possible since we're seeing warmer days. read more

Came in mid-day and the place wasnt that busy. We were told to order at the counter, which was fine at a not so busy time but I couldn't imagine ordering there when its busy. Bar staff was nice and the wait time for our food was a little longer then it should have been. Quesa birra grilled cheese was pretty good but you do have to order the consume separately. I was really looking forward to the asada fries and they were just ok. I think using queso on them would be a much better option. The cheese they put just hardens up and it doesnt make for very good fries and they are $20 !! My husband and son had a couple of shrimp taco that they liked but said for the price they would of like more than 2 shrimp on them. Hopefully they take people's reviews into consideration and try to improve some of these things. It definitely wasnt to worse meal ive had but im not sure it was enough to bring me back. read more

1st time trying the weekly $1 per wing special at Galvan's Eatery. The order was correct, our office Elevated Comfort orders weekly! They were packaged great, we ordered BBQ, lemon pepper, buffalo & honey garlic. Fried just right, very tasty. Not too much sauce or seasoning. The ranch dressing was yummy. Will definitely order next week! read more

Wanted to love it, but new business in need of consulting to get up speed with safety/pets/kids/bar... Long line to order food/drink, but bonus get number bring out food quickly. Tables are nice, but seats are on uneven hills so if you are short good luck. Service is okay, could be more welcoming. Should provide separate area for people think everyone wants to be around their dog. Because I don't want to eat where a dog takes a piss. Quesabirria are crunchy not traditional soft, but tasty. Paid $60 with tip for few tacos and two beers .... Understand inflation... but probably wouldn't go back. Not a fan of babies, toddlers, kids at a bar guess it is a new age thing ... read more

If you are looking for tacos and sunshine, Galvans is it! Menu is simple, to the point, order food at the bar, and get a local craft beer while you're there (they do offer half pints). Food came out pretty quickly, all and all was good but overall the meat lacked flavor. Fav was crispy shrimp and the salsa got a nice kick to it. Great use of this outdoor space. read more

Galvan's Eatery - Crispy x Street Tacos - Beer Gardens Near Me - Cotati, California

What a long wait for food that was mediocre at best. Galvan's Eatery's menu offers tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and specials, but on the evening we came, everything was crossed off the menu except tacos. We thought, ok, that's fine, it's a football night, so guess tacos are the easiest to make and hardest to mess up. I ordered 3 shrimp tacos, and my husband got some regular tacos. The wait for our food was about 30 min, if not longer. Another disappointment was that all you could taste in the tacos was CHEESE and nothing else. On top of that, they only give one small half-filled cup of salsa per order, regardless of how many tacos you get. Overall, the tacos are overpriced, the wait is long, and the taste is unpleasant. We won't be coming back. read more

Galvan's officially has a spot and the soft launch was a sell out! In addition to their food trucks, they now have a building in Cotati. Congrats! 3 tacos + asada fries + 2 beers ~ $55 read more

Nothing like warm beer and cold tacos. First time here, I've heard SO much about the taco truck so I was excited. I don't like writing negative reviews...buuuut we waited 30 minutes for our beers, the bartender literally poured our beers and set them down by the taps and proceeded to start taking another large party's order without handing them to us, pretty odd. So my boyfriend stood there trying to get his attention with no luck. He finally came back to the table and went by up to try again a few minutes later. Somehow managed to get them. To make things worse we had to wait an hour for our tacos. The staff walked by us numerous times, but never checked in with us even after sitting there for an hour. We had to go up to the counter and ask if they hated us or something, only to realize the order was never put in. Well, we're assuming they weren't put in, they never actually gave us an explanation. They just scrambled around and 10-15 minutes later we had our tacos. I'm pretty sure the Swedish Chef is running things in the kitchen. You'd think they'd comp something after all that....nope. They weren't apologetic or even that friendly. I won't be back. read more

Simply put, food is still Mid Af. Decided to try again to see if they had gotten better after getting an established restaurant. Food was quick to come out but they were empty. Quesabirrias, had little to no Queso, 2/10 flavor and taste, crispy to a bone, to the point that it was too crispy. Cut the roof of my mouth hard... Definitely wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Love this place! Great chill vibe, very delicious, and nice people serving nice drinks!

I have giving this space multiple chances, I want to enjoy it, it's a nice place close to home. 1st experience- I brought about 40-50 people to celebrate a birthday and the food took forever to order and to come out, over an hour to get food. but to top it off, we had a entitled waiter who wanted to throw some of our kids food away and yell at us to "get the fuck out" and to have us write a yelp review. he was rude the entire night to our group and it was a bunch of families with kids. another night, it took 45 minutes for us to go up to the bar to ask about our food. bar tender askded my number then asked for our open tab name.... then told me we were the next tab up and it will be out soon. waited another 15 minutes. manager said it only took 15 minutes for our order to come out.... well that's because it was just submitted after waited 45 minutes. I understand mistakes happed but to take no accountability for it is another problem. Food is good.... but the customer service, accountability and system been a lot of work. read more

I've been a fan of this place even when they were just a food truck! Their tacos and burritos are so tasty. I love that they have crispy fried tacos, which makes them stand out. I'm honestly surprised that the food truck hasn't made the Press Democrat's best of. They have a good selection of local beers on tap as well. The vibe is like a general beer garden, which I always like. Very chill atmosphere and it was a good spot for me to catch up with some coworkers. read more

Wait times are insane. 40+ minutes for tacos? Not to mention our orders being forgotten about TWICE at this place. Such a bummer.

I had the taco with shrimp and the taco with a mix of shrimp and birria. Both were delicious. It came with a roasted jalapeño and some spicy avocado Crema. Both were a little too spicy for me so I didn't use, but the tacos were delicious. In addition it was Taco Tuesday and they were discounted. There was hardly anybody there which was nice. I love the outdoor atmosphere and it's great for a nice day. There's plenty of umbrellas and coverings to provide shade. I guess really the only thing I don't care for is the fact that you have to pay twice. Once for your beverage at the bar, and once at the entry counter where you order and pay. You should be able to get your beverage and order food all at one place. I did ask and they are both the same business. I'm sure they're trying to separate alcohol with food, but a good POS system should be able to solve that when ordering. I will definitely return as the food was very good. read more

Good food, good beer and great outdoor beer garden. We were surprised at the 3% surcharge junk fee at the end after I set the tip, completed the transaction, and saw it jump a few dollars.. Looks like a violation of California SB 478. California SB 478 gives restaurants exactly one way to charge a separate mandatory fee: put it on the menu, clearly, with an explanation. It was not on the menu. That's not a policy disagreement, that's a statute. A sign that I didn't notice doesn't cover you on this. "clearly and conspicuously displayed, with an explanation of its purpose, on ***any*** advertisement, menu, or other display that contains the price of the food or beverage item." read more

Good was great, but it doesn't make up for the awful service. Food takes forever, they always sell out of things, and the staff isn't particularly friendly. I've always loved having Galvin's at the various taco truck locations (like Old Caz) but you guys need to step it up at the restaurant. Poor first impression. read more

I've been a longtime customer of Galvan's, so I was excited to try the new restaurant when it first opened. I initially gave it some grace, assuming the rough experience was just due to it being new and still getting things dialed in. However, after returning, it still doesn't seem to be where it should be. The ordering process requires you to walk up each time, which makes it feel more like a food truck experience than a full restaurant. There are also small touches missing--like chips and salsa--that you'd typically expect. I also tried to offer some constructive feedback to the owner, but it didn't feel very well received. On top of that, the guy who comes around to pick up glasses wasn't very friendly, which took away from the overall experience. I really want to see this place succeed given my history with Galvan's, but there are definitely some areas that could use improvement. read more
