"Nice place with a great selection of sout American and Mexican food items.This location is a bit expensive, but it is a convenient location."
"I only come here for the Oxtails.. they're great from here. The owners are great.. not a bad atmosphere.. the reason I rated them 3 stars is because there have been several times I've came and no butcher was there. I understand that- just hire a second butcher."

I've reviewed before, but please listen closely: this may be the best Mexican food in Lexington. This restaurant is your wild card. It's the place you hide up your sleeve and when all the usual suspects in your crew can't decide where to eat, you wink and say, "I know a place". You hustle over to Southland, walk them in this Mexican grocery store, beeline towards the right, maybe even give homage to Mother Mary in the corner, making the sign of the cross, before you sit down, all the while your friends look at you with new found respect and adulation because you know this hip & cool place & the proper rituals.Thirsty? Have some pineapple Jarrito, or some Coca Cola, or maybe just water. Hungry? I've mentioned before the tacos are delicious. So are the tortas. So are the Enchilada Moles, any of them. This past sunday I ordered the Con Mole and was transported instantly to Oaxaca de Juárez, where deep, complex sauces with tastes of roasted chilis, cocoa, cinnamon are absolutely standard and a window to the days of the Aztecs. Let's face it, every dish here will be amazing. Every dish here will be made with special care by the ladies in the back, so be sure to tip well, and especially walk to the counter and tell those precious ladies how amazing your food was. You will make them happy, they will cook even better food, and the cycle will repeat itself for the next customer. The food here does feel like it has Oaxaca deep in its spirit, and I think you will make all your friends envy you if you eat here. It embodies perfection and the very best of Mexican cuisine. I wish I could eat here every day. I can't, but maybe you can!

My brother discovered this place after searching for "souse", or head cheese. And find it he did!The Souse here is some of the best I've had, particularly the spicy version! I'm shaking my head right now because I know too much of a good thing is not good for me, but if I could, I'd be knee deep in Souse. Smoked turkey, smoked turkey tails and wings made my Christmas cooking so much better!Galan's also makes its own sausages, including chorizo. I'm just gonna say this: no Southerner can make chorizo better than we do here in Phoenix. Galan's comes real close, but naw. The staff is always friendly, portions are plentiful for the price. It's easily better to drive over for good food. On top of all this: they will ship to me here. My heart is full.
