I noticed the teriyaki place by the Starbucks in the Home Depot shopping center had been replaced by a new restaurant. The Galley Fish Tacos and Beer has just opened so I took the whole family. The address is 12218 Apple Valley Road Suite 105 and the website is http://www.thegalleyfishtacos.com . I am a longtime fan of fish tacos though not of beer so once we checked the menu to be sure there were options we filed in and stood for a long time before the counter trying to make up our mind.
The menu had tacos, burritos, salads and a few other items so we eventually made up our minds and ordered. We got the namesake Galley fish tacos, potato tacos, a shrimp burrito, kids steak taco and kids fish and chips.
The Galley Fish taco was a panko crusted white fish fried crispy. It was served on a corn tortilla with shredded cabbage, Pico de gallo and creamy tart white sauce. Having never had a potato taco (sweet potato excepted) I wanted to give it a try. It turns out it was made with mashed potatoes shaped in a tube and fried til golden brown. It was dressed the same as the fish taco except instead of a soft tortilla the tortilla was fried crisp. The shrimp burrito was huge and had plenty of large shrimp.
Several of our meals were combos. The sides were options of white or cilantro rice and black or peruvian beans. The cilantro rice was pale green and not too strong. The Peruvian beans were creamy soft and had a mild unique taste in the same flavor family as pinto beans. I tried my sons kids meal and the fried fish tasted of beer batter though he didn't seem to notice.
The restaurant was clean, had fun decor and the staff was patient with us. It turned out to be a good family friendly place and a good option for fish tacos in the High Desert.
