    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.

    Philly Steak quesadilla

    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.

    While visiting Bowling Green, my family decided it was time for lunch. Found Local Taco and visited. Was quickly seated and placed our order. My son had the quesadilla. I had a fried chicken taco and a fish taco. My wife had the Gringo taco....... appropriate for her. Started with the chips and queso. Service was quick and efficient. Meal was wonderful. Tacos had a touch of heat, but nothing serious. It was q great meal.

    Burrito

    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.

    Philly Steak (no peppers or onions), Baja Shrimp (no onions)
    Morgan R.

    Absolutely delicious. The chips are thin, warm, and perfectly salted. The tacos are so flavorful and pair beautifully with some of the best margaritas I've ever had. This outdoor patio is perfect for a fall evening! Will absolutely be back.

    Nashville Hot and Baja Shrimp
    Ronnie W.

    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!!

    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!!!

    Loved the Philly cheesesteak taco. The baha shrimp was too spicy for me. The best chips ever at a Mexican restaurant in bowling green my.

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

Standard menu for a Mexican establishment with the usual suspects of Burritos, Tacos, Nachos and of course Birria! They also serve the lunch menu all week long so there's a breakfast burrito that my daughter got that looked great. They weren't very busy and didn't have a lot of staff working when we arrived on a Sunday around 12. The server was very quick to get to our table and give us drinks, tortilla chips and salsa while we looked at the menus. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with artwork and flags and you wouldn't think it was so nice from the outside but it is. Our food came out very fast and looked amazing. I ordered the Birria Quesadilla and it was amazing. Tender meat and very cheesy! The consommé is an extra charge so we got a cup to share. My wife had a Chicken dish with queso and rice that was also delicious. My son ordered a huge burrito that looked great but he did mention it not being the hottest. Overall good experience and we will visit again when we're in the area. They do charge gratuity automatically for parties of 6 or more so take that info as you'd like.

    Happen to pass this place on the way to our destination and looked it up and had great reviews so…read morefigured to try it out on the way back home. The best decision! Good location, ample parking and surprisingly spacious dining room with plenty of tables. I'm surprised this place wasn't busier. I ordered the taco trio and chose the Baja taco with dealers choice on fish or shrimp, Al pastor taco and the carne asada taco with a cucumber lemonade to drink since they have Aguas frescas on tap. They served my drink right away and it was refreshing made with lemon instead of a traditional pepino that is made with limes. More like a lemonade with some cucumbers. The tacos came out fairly quick and looked amazing. They added a side of corn almost like elotes and some sauces and a couple slices of a radish one lime. The tacos were delicious I liked the freshness of the tortillas and heated with a bit of oil to make them soft but not fall apart soft on my carne asada taco and al pastor. They both had great flavor and the sauce were decent. The green one was like a tomatillo but not spicy and the red one was a little bit spicy. The Baja fish taco was really good made with a flour tortilla still crisp and held together well and the sauce was plentiful that I didn't even need to add anything. The fish was well seasoned and the slaw gave it a perfect texture. I don't eat corn that often but still tasted it and was great, seasoned with some spice and warm and cozy feels. I also picked a chocoflan and it was the perfect treat to end the meal. Beautifully moist dessert the only thing I prefer it a bit more Carmel sauce. The staff cleared up our table and were so nice. We came when they had trivia night and when in Rome you play trivia and it was actually fun but we didn't stay for the whole game. They also have a table that has cutlery, to go boxes, napkins and cups and ice water dispenser and some sauces. A place if I'm ever in the area again I will be stopping at again.

    Over rated by far. All the food is extremely bland…read more Service is shotty. Wouldn't be back for $40 street tacos with no flavor.
