You Had Me At Let's Get Galaxy Taco!
The location alone makes for a fun filled day of adventure.
Just blocks to La Jolla Shores Beach and boardwalk, perfect for walking off this meal. The parking lot was full but we lucked out with some street parking nearby.
Indoor and outdoor seating available at this location (with a peek-a-boo sliver of the beautiful pacific ocean). We opted to sit at the bar for a low key first time experience and a birthday beverage (of course). Diving in on a glass of Malbec had my taste buds watering even before looking at the menu. Let's just say I'll be ordering that again...the smooth, smoky flavors blend together for a quick bite that goes well with chips and salsa. Wood grilled salsa with bottomless chips, sign me up for a good time!
Galaxy Taco is the brainchild of a few people most notably Executive Chef Trey Foshee from the famous George's in The Village. In a previous article Chef mentions his goal with this restaurant is to translate his appreciation of Mexican food through a San Diego lens. WELL DONE my friend!
"What I'm striving to create is a fun place, one that both visitors and locals alike will enjoy for it embodiment of our unique lifestyle and great food and drink. In time, my hope is that Galaxy Taco will become part of the fabric of The Shores community, like George's at the Cove has been for La Jolla Village for so long." -Trey Foshee
Ahhhh...the carne asada street taco...words cannot even begin to describe how tasty this taco was..but I'll give it a gander.
Delicate and moist chunks of perfectly seasoned, chopped carne asada, a dollop of fresh bright green guacamole and cilantro served on top of their claim to fame, house made tortillas. The portion was perfectly matched with the next taco on the bucket list...The Tacolandia.
I'm a meat and potatoes kind of girl...I'll choose beef, pork or chicken over fish any day. But for those of you who love a fish taco, rumor has it Galaxy Taco serves a mean Baja Fried Fish Taco. And if you like pork...you will L-O-V-E The Tacolandia, with marinated, braised and seared pork shoulder, the foolproof crunchy jalapeno slaw topped off with one of my favorite childhood memories a Chicharron (aka Pork Cracklings).
Don't make me choose a favorite...I simply can't, they were both delightfully tasty and a memory of a birthday lunch.
My friends...this Tuesday is a special Taco Tuesday for Galaxy Taco, another popular Chef in La Jolla from Nine-Ten, Chef Knibb will be taking over the kitchen for a TACO TUESDAY TAKEOVER!
