Enjoyed dinner with my husband here at Local Taco on 9/9/2026. My chicken quesadilla (added bell pepper) did not disappoint, and my husband ordered a variety of tacos and liked all that he tried. I helped him out with his Philly Cheesesteak taco and glad I did, it was delicious. Our waitress was great, quick with our orders and friendly. read more

My wife picked this spot and I'm glad she did because I'm not a huge fusion fan. I was immediately intrigued with the red hot chicken but also wanted the blackened fish taco. To my surprise the fish was way spicier but both were good. I did have the local beer on tap which was a bonus. The place itself was pretty big, really chill vibe and had a nice outdoor patio. read more

I was playing a disc golf tournament in Bowling Green. While I was using Yelp to find awesome places to eat, I came across Local Taco. I looked at the menu and said this was a no-brainer to try. Unfortunately, my first attempt was on a Monday and they were closed. Why is Monday a popular day for restaurants to close? Anyway, I made it on a Friday for lunch. There were so many tacos I wanted to try! The best deal is the combo which has 2 tacos, a side, and a drink for $11.50. I asked the waitress if I could have salsa as my side and after checking with the manager, it was a yes! Because I really didn't want to pay $3.50 for salsa and it wasn't never ending! But the salsa was homemade and terrific. I really don't understand how places get away with charging salsa and chips when you find them for free. Anyway, I went with the Carolina and since I was in Kentucky, I had to go with the Commonwealth. These were among the best tacos I've ever had! The Carolina comes with pork, slaw, and BBQ sauce. The Commonwealth had more moving parts with fried chicken in a brown sugar/bourbon glaze, pico de gallo, fried poblano peppers, and ancho aioli. I considered giving this review a 5 based on the tacos alone but I couldn't do it. The unrefillable salsa was one problem. But the bigger problem was finding the second most unsweet sweet tea in Bowling Green after my fiasco at Smokey Bones. This is strike two Bowling Green! I asked my waitress if they had sweeter tea and she said she could give me sugar. Stop letting these Yankees make sweet tea, Bowling Green! They don't know how! I will be back for more tacos but I'm bringing my own damn sweet tea. read more

Went to lunch at this restaurant. So glad we did. The service was fantastic. What a group of upbeat, smiling servers. So polite too. They constantly checked on our table and helped each other deliver food to other patrons. We got a queso dip with ground beef as an appetizer and it did not disappoint. The chips were hot, fresh, crispy and the right amount of salt. I ordered a fish taco (grouper) and my wife had a ground beef taco. Both were excellent. We ended up getting a churro for dessert. Excellent again! Hot, crispy but soft. The chocolate sauce was good too. Our server was Gwyn. She is the best! You really need to try this place if you haven't been. Bright. Clean. Great vibe. Patio dining available too. read more

We stopped by on a late Friday night for a snack after an event with work. The flavored corn was awesome. Included cheese, guac, pico, pork, etc. Loved it. Decent selection of craft beers to chose from. Look forward to visiting again earlier in the day instead of a late night visit along with enjoying the menu and food items. read more

Recently stopped by for lunch at Local Taco as we traveled through Bowling Green. We sat on the patio as we had our dogs with us. The waitress who took our order was attentive and made sure we were taken care of. We placed our orders for chips with salsa and guacamole, as well as a combo special with a Korean taco, shrimp taco, elote (off the cob) and Philly steak quesadilla. The salsa and guacamole were both pretty good, with the guacamole being my favorite. The elote tasted like canned corn with a little spice, not the best I have tried. The tacos were rather bland, and I wouldn't order either of those again. My husband kindly gave me a piece of his quesadilla, and it was delicious! Plenty of steak, onions, peppers, and flavor. This is the item I would definitely recommend. If I stop by again I would love to try the voodoo fries, and maybe one of the other quesadillas. All in all, a pretty good experience with this location. Thanks, LT, for giving us a good place to stop as we travel through BG. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I ordered two fish tacos with rice and a drink. The tacos were covered in this spicy slaw and only had three tiny pieces of fish! I was unimpressed. The rice was not Mexican rice, but Rice-a-Roni. I ate that rice as a kid and hated it. This was NOT Mexican food at all! It was tasteless and bland. You can get better Mexican food at Taco Bell. Don't waste your money. read more

My friend really wanted to check this place out. The atmosphere was relaxed , the waiter and staff was friendly. She accidentally gave me a burrito bowl instead of a burrito but she kind enough and gave me a wrap on the side so I can make my own burrito! The food tasted really good , the sauce was very flavorful. The price was average not to pricey. I'd come back if I'm in the area. read more

Always good quality food. I usually get the Baja Shrimp and the Nashville Hot. Just like these two the most. I'll tell you though, the Blackened Grouper is very good too. Always look at the special before you order. They put some good options on the board. Thanks guys!! read more

Delicious tacos , friendly welcoming staff! Great variety for ordering. Will be back!

As a displaced foodie from St Louis, my typical reaction to most Bowling Green area restaurants ranges from "meh" to "I won't be back." Local Taco is so good at everything they do that they have become one of my all-time favorites...anywhere and anytime. First of all, the staff is top notch...always clean-cut, polite, friendly, attentive, efficient...well chosen and well trained. The food is always crisp, fresh, and seasoned perfectly, albeit a little more creative than traditional! I consider LT to be a great value on today's terms...a 2-Taco Combo with a premium side and a drink is only $11.50, and the quality and freshness leaves the "fast casual" chains (you know who they are) in the dust. Some of the best guacamole you've ever tasted is less than 6 bucks. If you haven't discovered Local Taco in Bowling Green, you are missing something special! read more

Went for lunch to meet my good friend that I haven't seen in a while, this place is wild, nosy, and totally fun! Great for children, millennials and family! Service is top notch, we had Karsyn for our server, she was friendly and fast!!!! We had the chicken bowl and added lettuce to it and it was delish. Mindy had blacken grouper tacos and they were good but make sure if u don't like onions they are massive and pickled. Great lunch spot and at 12:30 it's packed!!! read more

Great spot and good vibe when waking in. It's a seat yourself joint and they have patio seating where almost everyone was. I chose a nice little spot inside and was greeted promptly. Ordered frozen margarita and chips/salsa. Being from Texas I did not expect much for a KY establishment, but the salsa was decent and the chips were plentiful. Asked for Tajin on my rim and they were out, but tried by adding some of the spice they put on top of the street corn. Not the same, but appreciate them trying. Rita was decent and reasonable price, but not out of this world. Had the Korean BBQ taco and blackened fish taco. Both were very good, but wish the tortillas were cooked a little more. Service was very good and I did not lack for anything. All in all this is a great little place with a cool vibe and decent Tex-mex fare. I would go back the next time I am in town. read more

Outstanding flavors, very creative menu. We love it! My fav is the Korean bbq taco I would get it again and again

We've eaten here before. These are not the greatest tacos I've had in the world, but they are pretty solid. I got the blackened grouper, which has good flavor. My husband got the fried grouper and I liked the texture better, but it was a little rich and salty for my taste. I also had the Korean bbq taco, made with shredded Korean beef, scallions, slaw, and sesame seeds. It was very good, but I'm not an Asian food fan. I bet fans of Asian food would really enjoy this dish. The Philly cheesesteak taco is made with gooey gruyere cheese, and though the steak was a little dry, it was one of my favorites. Also had the Nashville hot chicken taco, which was not really hot, and the seasoning was inconsistently applied. We had the chips and three trio (queso, guacamole, and salsa). Queso was pretty good, but the other two could have used seasoning. The margarita had to be made with a mix, and was subpar, would not try again. Service was attentive and nice (Lillian), so she gets five stars. They have a large garage door that was open, which was pleasant, it was not crowded, and everyone wore masks, so I felt safe during COVID 19. read more

LOVED IT! This was our first experience here. We ordered two tacos each and she'd them so we could try more things. We had awesome service from Mya. We started with the Flautas which had much more bean filling than we anticipated, but the flavor and sauce were very good. All tacos had layers of serious flavors and each was very unique. Ranking the tacos from my most favorite first, we tried the Baja Shrimp, Nashville Hot Chicken, Korean (meat a bit tough but super flavorful), , and the Fried Avocado. We also tried the Street Corn (off the cob) - it too tasted great. The one negative would be that overall the food had very little variation of texture-everything was soft. To be totally fair, my wife did not like the food as well as I did, but her only real complaint was the lack of texture. The prices are great!! read more

My Mexican friend refers to these as white people tacos. They're pretty good though. I'm a white person.

Great flavor, and service. I only gave four stars because I wasn't a fan of the hot sauce I requested. I prefer hot and spicy vs. hot and sweet; and I wasn't a fan of the caramel filled churros (I didn't read the description on the menu- that's my fault! but other than that, great flavored tacos. My husband had the nachos. He really enjoyed the flavor. The only thing missing was he used more cheese read more

Everything was fresh and tasty. Friendly staff. They do a good job doing their own take on tacos, but we gotcha beat back home. Chips are thin and tasty, just the way we like them. Their salsa is made fresh but needs some "South of the Border" added to get you thinking "you're not in Kansas anymore." And...put that same stuff in the tacos too. Clean and fresh "North of the Border" style. read more

I like this place. So fresh and they put a nice little spin on the tacos. I had southern fried chicken and a fried fish taco. Both were perfectly executed and seasoned perfectly! I met some of the crew, a great bunch of young folks. read more

The food is great. Preparation and presentation as expected. The owner spent time to talk about how they use family recipes. It shows. Ellie A was a wonderful server. 5*. On my second visit, I received inattentive and distracted service from Maddie C. She couldn't have been less interested in me, the paying guest. Her focus was carrying my meal to me as quickly as possible, then returning to talk to the other servers behind the counter who didn't have a customer. I was very disappointed in my second visit, but will give Local Taco a third chance. Maddie C. will not ignore me again, I promise you... read more

YUM!!! Absolutely delicious tacos!! And easy to customize for food intolerances/allergies. I highly recommend the blackened grouper tacos. I have some food allergies, and the chef came out to tell me exactly what the ingredients were in their jicama slaw. That was greatly appreciated! He then came around to check on all the tables. We loved the food and service, and the atmosphere was very nice. We'll be back! If you want a good drink, get the big baller margarita! read more

Allen the bartender was extremely polite. Good kid with a bright future. Will be back again! Hope he is working.

The people were friendly. The food was not very good. The tacos were soggy and flavorless.
