galaxy.taco.5183Rain falls down.  Droplets plop on my face.  As water runs down my face the years wash away.  I work across the street as a webmaster for an internet startup.  Lunch time was spent walking to the beach and watching the waves and breathing in salty sea air.  Raindrops create ripples in puddles, more years wash away.  I’m learning to ride a long board with bikini girls from UCSD.  Water is freezing as I fall off and I’m submerged in the surf. 

galaxy.taco.5208Fresh scent of rain is in the air. I’m pulled back to the present by the smiling hostess watching me mesmerized by droplets of water.  

galaxy.taco.5211Staff is very friendly here.  Waiter talked about the how they make their own corn tortillas here.  I tried 3 tacos.

Birrea, carnitas, & carne asada tacos.
Carne asada, carnitas, & birrea de res tacos.

My fav was the carnitas taco.  Tortilla had a mild corn flavor that didn’t distract from the tender, juicy carnitas.  Loved the spices used to marinate the carnitas.

My second fav was the carne asada taco.  Meat was overflowing the tortilla.  Beef was very tender and juicy.  Different spices were used to marinate the beef and the flavor was really good.

Birrea de Res taco was also tender and juicy but I’m not a big fan of the flavor.

$6 per taco is a bit high but the quality of the ingredients was excellent.  3 of them were a big lunch for me.  This is a pleasant spot to eat tacos and watch falling rain.

    My two favorite photo’s are the black and white rain and the day of the dead skeleton wearing a dress! Very fancy!

    1. You have great taste! Those were my fav too!

  2. Thanks for ranking the tacos 🙂 The birria taco looks really juicy. I agree with Maggie the skeleton photo is awesome.

    1. You are welcome! I love day of the dead stuff.

  3. Hmm. $6 a taco is pretty pricey! But I’ve been know to give up that much for less food. Hah. Are those blue corn tortillas? Love the decor in Galaxy Taco.

    1. They are blue corn tortillas and they make them fresh. It’s a great place for a food blogger with the great decor but I wouldn’t go every week.
