" I usually don’t write reviews, but my recent experience at The Local Taco compelled me to share! The food was delicious, and I particularly enjoyed their brisket taco—it was savory and packed with taste. The ambiance was lively as well—it was great to see so many families enjoying their meals. The only downside was a slightly slow service at times, especially during peak hours. But they really made an effort to keep things moving. I’d go back, especially for that taco! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to The Local Taco a couple of times now, and I always look forward to the next visit! The atmosphere is vibrant and full of life, really setting the mood for a fun meal. I tried the buffalo chicken taco and found it spicy yet flavorful, while the brisket offering disappointed slightly in taste. The service is always on point, which made the experience worthwhile, but I'd like to see more consistency in the food quality across different visits. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an amazing time at The Local Taco the other day! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and I loved the decor. For food, I ordered the fried shrimp and fish tacos. The shrimp was delightful, crispy, and full of flavor, while the fish taco, unfortunately, didn’t quite impress me—it was dry. However, the service staff was friendly and attentive, which really uplifted the experience. The food could be slightly better, but I would come back to give it another shot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by The Local Taco on a Monday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised by the vibrant flavors in every bite! The tacos were fresh, and the variety offered made it hard to choose. I finally settled on the tequila lime chicken and brisket tacos. Each had a unique kick to it. The atmosphere was joyful, packed with college students and families alike. I did notice the portion sizes were smaller than I expected, but I left satisfied nonetheless. Definitely worth the visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Taco lovers rejoice! The Local Taco is a gem in downtown Lexington. We visited after hearing rave reviews and were eager to dive into their offerings. I ordered a combo of their buffalo chicken and smoked brisket tacos. The brisket was tender, but I was hoping for more flavor beyond the standard seasoning. The buffalo chicken was a delight, though! Each dish came with a side of their house-made salsa, which I found to be on the fresher side. The only downside? The tables were a bit cramped during lunchtime rush. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried The Local Taco last week, and I’m glad I did! The top-notch service began when I entered—they greeted me with big smiles. The taco I ordered, the Korean BBQ, was excellent with an interesting twist to the usual taco. On the other hand, I felt that the portion size was a bit lacking compared to other taco places that I've visited. But overall, I enjoyed my visit! The place is perfect if you’re looking for a casual eatery with friends. " (*Curated Review*)
