Galena Supermarket and Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Amazing Mexican food found here!!! It can be a long wait sometimes but the quality is worth it. Music tends to be quite loud but the staff are friendly.
This place is legit! Made the right way. Tastes like you in a mom and pop place in the heart of Mexico. Great beers that are normally hard to find in the states like Victoria and Corona Familia! Don’t miss out!
Great service & fast too! Authentic Mexican food & authentic Mexican grocery items too, as well as American. Highly recommend! Step outta ur confort zone & enjoy "genuine " Mexican foods ! Highly recommend!
The food is delicious, authentic, and fresh. The staff is always very gracious and polite. Sometimes the music is a little loud, but it’s still an enjoyable time.
Just get in my belly. My go-to for asada and chorizo Mexican authentic tacos. Their homemade guacamole, homemade chips are addictive and I occasionally bring a little tub of guacamole home. The flavors and aromas are intoxicating. Noon on a Saturday, don't be surprised to hear several happily buzzed Mexican men sipping their cervesa, laughing, and sharing wonderful stories. Food made with love and purpose and one of the happiest environments, when you time it right. Sip. Chew. Enjoy.
Tried the Steak Tacos and the Chicken Tacos, Mexican style. You get 2 tacos in an order. They were both delicious! And stuffed full of meat. The red sauce is super hot, if you like Hot. The green sauce is mild and really tasty. Washed em down with a Mexican Coke, in a glass bottle, good ole fashioned Coke taste!
The horchota . Tacos good but burritos are better because you get more. They got lots of groceries from American food thru brands imported from Mexico. These popcicles remind me of my youth from Chicago. Lots of flavors in milk or ice
Went here for lunch to catch up with a very good friend of mine and we had a lovely time. The restaurant was small, the other half is a grocery store, but don't let that fool you or deter you from coming here to eat a great meal! The waiter was very nice, friendly, and accommodating to us. I had steak nachos, my friend had the largest burrito I've ever seen on a plate and she ate 3/4 of it - I ate almost all of my nachos. I also had a Margarita, and it was very good as well. Decently priced for such great food. I'm going there again one day. Please try this place if you hadn't already!
