    Queso
    Aubrie H.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Stopped here for restaurant week and were able to enjoy sitting on the patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The happy hour drink prices were nice and the restaurant week menu had plenty of food to choose from. Things seemed to be coming out slowly from the kitchen but once it arrived the flavor was good.

    I wouldn't say this was my favorite location of local cantina but I did like the ample parking available. Service was a bit slow but nice. Tacos were good but nothing to really call home about. Overall, love local cantina and this location isn't bad but I don't think it's my top choice.

    I think these were some of the best tacos I've ever had. The chruchweezy was my favorite! The more traditional style corn tacos were also amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you love good 80's soft rock that's all they were playing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was super nice and as quick as they could be.

    I visited Local Cantina on a Saturday night around 5:30pm and although it was a weekend evening there was plenty of open tables both inside and outside and we were seated right away. Unfortunately, that would be the highlight of the evening and dining experience. Once seated, it seemed as though we were invisible to the waiter who was serving the specific section. After waiting about 30 minutes, I went up to the girls at the front door and asked them to send a waiter to our table. At this point you would think it would be smooth sailing, but it wasn't. About 10 minutes after asking to be server our waiter finally stopped by our table. Although we had almost an hour at this point to look at the menu he only asked what we wanted to drink (two sodas and two waters) and then walked away before we could order our meals. After another 5 minutes we finally got our two sodas, and he took our order which included an appetizer and two entrées, after which he said he would be right back with our waters. After another 15 minutes, a different waiter brought out our appetizer before our main waiter could bother to bring us our waters. Although I understand how difficult it is to be a waiter or work in the food industry, I feel as though a little bit more effort could've been put forth by the waiter we had. There were many times where I saw him leaning against the bar, talking to co-workers, and watching the various tvs across the building. I felt as though we weren't welcomed and that we had to go out of our way to be served. Furthermore, I overheard conversations from the two tables next to mine talking about the lack of service. At one point a family had ordered four waters, and similarly to my experience, they waited nearly 15 minutes for them to arrive. At one point I heard the children talking about the server saying "do you think he forgot about us?" In the end I must say the food was very tasty but my opinion towards the restaurant was dramatically swayed due to the horrible service I experienced. I'm sure there are other waiters and staff that are truly incredible and amazing at their job, but with that being said I was not lucky enough to interact with one of them.

    Firstly, I'd like to give a massive shoutout to the best server Lydia!! We have never had such great service, and it really made the experience. She was so kind and checked in on us often -- from keeping up on refills to offering containers to take the left over guac in; she was absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much Lydia!! The food, as always, was delicious. At first, we were worried we wouldn't get enough food, but we were more than full by the time we left! The guac and queso were fresh, and everything came out super quickly. Really love the idea of getting your own chips when you first walk in. Thank you for the amazing dinner!

    It was a nice day so we sat outside. Every Tuesday they offer $2 tacos and so it a good day to sample a few. I know I love the grilled fish one and the Hong Kong fooey taco but I had never tried the standard ol American style taco. All three were very good if not in the small side. Chips and salsa are always free here so I can't complain too much about the tiny broken chip bits

    Restaurant week Jan 2023 menu
    Nadeane H.

    Local Cantina is a reliable choice. Their food and service always delivers. Tonight I had the Restaurant Week menu. I chose the queso which is some of the best, the farmers market taco which was full of veggies and refried beans, and the blackened fish taco which was spicy (beware!). For dessert I had the fried ice cream which didn't have much flavor but was still good - it would be even better w a drizzle of honey. Everything was fresh and the flavors popped. Our server was delightful. They don't take reservations so plan accordingly.

    I'm usually a big fan of this place. This year, they raised their prices and revamped their menu which is somewhat reasonable. The food is still good but pricey for what it is. On this visit, at 3pm on a Friday with a mostly empty restaurant, my server was also serving the entire bar and was extremely inattentive. Never refilled our drinks and by the time she came back to ask if we wanted another drink, we had finished eating and drinking and we're waiting on the check. Lastly, the music has been extremely loud and quite frankly just bad the last two times I've visited. I used to be a weekly customer but I'm not impressed lately.

    Taco Salad with Chicken
    Erin T.

    Brother and I stopped by for lunch. Was my first time here. Our waiter, Nate was a great guy! He was very helpful and attentive to our table. He brought out drinks and chips and salsa quickly. Both were homemade! My brother recommended the Taco Salad. I ordered chicken and he ordered steak. This salad was HUGE! It was made with a deep fried flour tortilla and loaded with fresh goodies and topped with tortilla strips. I will be back to try more tasty items from their menu.

    Enjoying happy hour!

    This place was recommended by a local and rightly so! Love this place. We came here on a beautiful day and the garage doors were open so the atmosphere was perfect! Their happy hour runs from 3pm - 6pm for $3 drafts and $5 for their mustache ride margaritas. They have "help yourself" chips and salsa, a large selection of tacos, and various Mexican favorites. Their draft beer selection is all crafts and imports but they're all included in the happy hour special. When we're in the area we'll DEFINITELY be back. O-H-I-O!!!!

    All the onion i scraped off my chorizo egg tacos.

    The service and food is terrible here. Do not go! Take the trip to Dublin, that location has much better service and the food is edible.

    We were fortunate to find out that The Station and Bar Venue hosts an event every month presented…read moreby CBus Comedy. The tickets for last night's show were affordably priced at $10/each, we could not pass up the chance for some inexpensive laughter! We arrived to find a neighborhood bar on the first floor. Just a few bar patrons were sitting at the bar enjoying their favorite beers. They quickly assumed that we were there for the comedy show. The bartender offered to get us a round of drinks for the group. She also offered to open a tab for us. I was going to decline until I found out that the tab started at the bar on the first floor transfers up to the second floor. It is accessible on either floor. That is incredible convenience for the bar patron. We made our way up to the Venue portion of The Station. There is another bar well staffed there. The space was intimate and perfect for the comedy event. There was an ease of entering the show. We didn't have to dig or search for our tickets. They simply took our names and checked the guest list. I loved it. It was a first come, first seat yourself kind of event. We found ourselves front and center for the show. I loved the seats. I saw a group near us get a pizza delivered to their table. That is how I discovered that The Station had food. I didn't ever lay my eyes on a menu, but I could tell they had pizza and wings. The food will not WOW, but it will suffice to make sure you are not starving while enjoying your favorite beverage. The show started almost on time. As the show rolled on and the laughter roared, I noticed I needed another beer, but I was concerned about interrupting the show. I shouldn't have worried though, the awesome bartender started making her way around the crowd checking to see if she could grab anyone a drink. She took care of the guests so that they would not have to get up and distract from the comedians. It was incredible service and much appreciated. Our group of friends had the best time last night at The Station Bar & Venue. We highly suggest checking out next months comedy show presented by CBus Comedy!
