" El Local is more than just a food truck; it’s an experience! The friendly staff makes you feel like family right away, and the flavor in their tacos is unforgettable. I tried the chicken and brisket ones; both were equally amazing. The outdoor seating arrangement made for a lovely summer evening, and I hope to return here the next time I'm back in Moab! " (*Curated Review*)

" The moment I stepped up to El Local, I was greeted with the cheerful smiles of the owners who clearly love what they do. I ordered the ribeye tacos, and they did not disappoint! The flavors were exceptional, and the food was plated beautifully, even from a food truck. A priceless experience enhanced by a charming outdoor setting. Highly recommend indulging at El Local whenever you're in Moab! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Local is my new favorite find in Moab! I had the chicken burrito and it was incredibly tasty. I also tried various tacos, each one had its unique flavor profile. The casual outdoor atmosphere really set the tone for an enjoyable meal. While the hours can be a bit inconsistent, the food and service made every moment worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a fantastic experience at El Local! The owners did an excellent job maintaining a warm and welcoming environment while serving top-notch food. The chicharron gordita was sublime, and my companions loved their tacos. The only downside was finding parking, but I assure you the food makes it worth the hassle. Don't skip out on this gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely the best tacos I've had outside of Mexico! The brisket was so tender it practically melted in my mouth, and everything tasted freshly made. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was perfect for casual dining. I came back twice within my short trip to Moab because I couldn't get enough of the food. Highly recommend you try it if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an incredible experience! The tacos at El Local are seasoned perfectly and created with quality ingredients. The outdoor seating area is laid-back and has a nice vibe. The staff was engaging and kind, especially when I mentioned I was a first-time visitor! You'll definitely want to try their unique offerings like the dirty brisket torta while you're there. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about El Local! From the moment I walked up to the food truck, the aroma of grilled meats filled the air, making my mouth water. I ordered the brisket tacos, and they were absolutely divine—so tender and packed with flavor. The staff, Junior and Natalie, were incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. The outdoor seating area is charming and perfect for enjoying a meal during the nice weather. I will definitely be returning whenever I'm in Moab! " (*Curated Review*)
