After a night of drinking and cavorting, nothing tastes quite like a bit of greasy fast food.
But why not up your late-night post-clubbing snack game with a wakataka from Galaxie? The Louisville-based bar opened an offshoot in Covington last December, bringing its themed dance nights and specialty flatbread tacos to Northern Kentucky. Soak up the booze with these tacos made with fluffy slices of pita bread and creative ingredient combos.

You can choose from eight wakataka options as well as a few salad options in the form of Greek and avocado chicken. For the veg heads (those with gluten allergies can substitute the pita for tortilla shells), there’s a spinach saag and crispy potato wakataka, its spinach, potatoes, and green curry punched up by feta and ginger so that it has enough flavor to fool you into not noticing you’re missing a protein. If you want more of a surf-and-turf vibe, try the shrimp and chorizo version, and get your taste buds popping with its aioli, pickled red onion, and pico. The thick and tangy sauce in the hoisin BBQ wakataka makes it one of the favorites. The grilled chicken is covered in it along with seed spice and pickled onion making for a smoky zing.
Potato lovers won’t feel left out in the cold with Galaxie’s selection of loaded fries (known as “Vader fries”). You can snag some of the same flavors that you get on the wakatakas—burger, shrimp, chimichurri—without the pita. Don’t forget to drop by during “Taka Tuesdays” and get your wakatakas for only five bucks each. With today’s prices, this deal is, ahem, out of this world.
