Galaxie boasts a charming ambiance with its adorable patio seating, perfect for enjoying a meal al fresco. The atmosphere is inviting and lively, with vibrant decor that enhances the dining experience. Beautiful outdoor flowers and greenery decorate every wall and corner. The menu offers delicious Mexican cuisine, featuring authentic flavors and fresh ingredients. Whether you're craving tacos, enchiladas, or refreshing margaritas, this restaurant delivers on taste and presentation. The convenience of being able to scan a QR code with your camera at the table and order at your leisure makes it a nice easy process. Wonder service THANK YOU BATMAN!

Went in after a rave review from a friend. Got my food to go. While waiting I ordered a mezcal martini. When I say “oh! My goodness!!” It was so good. Got home with the food. It was met by a chorus of satisfactory noises made by my partner and myself. The chips were delicious and perfectly salted. But the food was the absolute star of the show!! The torta was one of the best I’ve ever had. And the barbacoa tacos were worthy of the biggest chefs kiss!! Definitely will recommend to anyone looking for quality Mexican food. 10/10!

My favorite place to go whenever I visit New Orleans. Best food, best drinks, best staff, and the most genuine and caring bar owners I have ever met. Heather and Berto are the real deal.

My favorite neighborhood haunt. Love sitting at the bar and the outdoor seating is great too. Love the entire staff here. Special shout out to the bartender, Jason. The whole staff here is basically godparents to my dogs, who join me every time. Can’t say enough great things about Galaxie.

So happy that we discovered this local treasure! Galaxie is the perfect place to have a great meal, delightful cocktails, and make new friends. This vintage gas station is full of character and charm, just like the owners are, and we loved how welcoming everyone was as we just enjoyed the day grazing through their menu. We tend to be a little snobby about Mexican food because we have had many memorable meals, and this feels like what draws us to local spots in Mexico, but is in the heart of New Orleans. Truly authentic Mexican cuisine mixed with NOLA hospitality - what could be better? Another great reason for us to spend more time in New Orleans - we will be back soon!

Discovered this place searching on Google. Very chill and mellow spot! My waitresses were extremely friendly and helpful especially it being my first time. I really went for the margaritas and Birria tacos and they were amazing. The meat was so tender and full of flavor and the meat was NOT tough at all like other places. I look forward to coming back!!
