" What a delight! I recently came to The Local Taco for a casual outing and was thrilled with the laid-back atmosphere. I sampled the shrimp and chicken tacos. While the shrimp was delightful, the chicken felt a bit dry and could use a bolder seasoning. I was impressed with the cleanliness and fast service, though! Not to mention, their salsa and guacamole are a must on the side. I left feeling satisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a frequent taco enthusiast, I have tried numerous taco spots, and The Local Taco does not disappoint! The moment I walked in, I was greeted by a lively atmosphere filled with laughter and the mouth-watering scent of spices. I decided to go for the southern fried chicken taco and a veggie option for variety. To my delight, the food arrived quickly! The chicken taco was crispy and flavorful, yet the veggie taco felt a bit underwhelming. Overall, I had a great time dining here, but I would suggest enhancing veggie options. " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me tell you about my experience at The Local Taco! I came in expecting an authentic taco feast, and they did not disappoint. The smoked brisket taco was bursting with flavor. I also tried their signature margarita—it was refreshing and a great complement to my meal! The service was swift, but the place was crowded, which added a lively vibe. On the downside, I felt a touch overwhelmed with the noise level. Overall, it was an enjoyable evening, ideal for casual dining with friends. I will definitely revisit! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Local Taco is definitely a must-visit for taco lovers! The moment I walked in, I was surrounded by an inviting vibe. I ordered the four-taco basket which allowed me to try multiple flavors. Honestly, I’d say the tequila lime chicken and the smoked brisket stole the show! One downside was the wait time—it took a while for the food to arrive due to the busy lunch crowd, but it was worth it. I will be returning soon with more friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" After moving to Lexington, I finally had the chance to try out The Local Taco. I went with a group of friends who rave about the place. We tried an assorted taco basket, including shrimp, brisket, and fried chicken. The shrimp taco took the crown with its spicy kick and fresh toppings! We also enjoyed their chips and queso, which were definitely a highlight. The only complaint I had was that some tacos were a bit on the small side for the price—definitely appealing to the student budget! " (*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*)
