So sorry to see that they are closed. Food was great. It's been a tough restaurante location

Very cozy. Food was very fresh and good. On this day my order took extremely long for a hot dog. It was also nice to walk and visit the pop up business.Parking: On this day because of the booths there was some parking around wells FargoKid-friendliness: There was a extremely knowable man behind the bar who told you about the beer and the menu.Wheelchair accessibility: They have an accessible ramp right in the front.

This isn’t the Italian deli anymore, but I figured why not and got the two sandwiches on the menu (pesto and chicken bbq) I was a little unsure at first because it wasn’t what was on the google site, but it was super big and tasty!

Meat. If you are looking for Italian meat, this is the place, pancetta, and the king of meats Guanciale. If you have never heard of Guanciale, you really need to try some, think bacon but super luscious.

Cute little place with nice outdoor seating. It's on a busy street so we would have enjoyed ambiance more if it was less busy and noisy. But it had a nice vibe with music and guy working the counter. Small parking lot but could park on the street. We didn't drink but the peach sangria looked amazing and they had a nice selection of canned alcoholic drinks We ordered the inside skirt steak which was pretty good; stew like on a plate with 4 tortillas. Description said "crunchy" bacon (saw a couple 1 inch soag bacon slice) and cheese but didn't see it. The short rib taco was good and full of melted cheese and meat. The meat was very tender but pretty greasy (as it got cold, the fat harden a bit making it not as appealing). Included shredded raw cabbage but didn't taste good with the taco. Wish it included some chips.

This place is amazing! My husband has been raving about this place and I finally had a chance to check it out with him. From the warm greetings when you walk in, to the cute decor... and then the food-- incredible. Seriously some of the best I've ever had. The chicken tacos, Lisa's salad, and the salmon ceviche! Everything was perfection. I loved the tostada shell that the salad was in! It was chewy, yet crispy- so good! So happy that this place is here. We will continue to spread the word and support!

This is no longer an Italian deli spot! I was looking forward to getting an Italian sandwich just to find out that they no longer serve any of them. Only have two sandwiches on their menu. The food is very minimal and the restaurant is minimal as well. That’s too bad that they changed.

This was a good find, a complete hole in the wall! On our way to Monterey, we Yelped and found Local on Main in Morgan Hill. There was going to be any other good options between here and where we were heading around this lunch hour so we took a chance. And this was a well spent opportunity at this casual sit down serving beers, tacos and tostadas, and ceviche.Upon turning into their private lot which is small and somewhat difficult to find unless you keep your eyes peeled for it since it's smack dab in the middle of residential structures, you'll be greeted with a quaint little bungalow. Enter and your eyes will be dazzled with decorative skulls typically seen in Dias de los muertos celebrations. You'll also see a unique seating arrangement with a variety of chair level tables, stool level tables, and seats stacked for easy access by guests.After soaking in the atmosphere, make your way up to the counter/bar where you can place your order for food and libations. There's a specials menu written on the chalkboard to your left and the laminated menus highlighting their signature dishes. If you're feeling a beer, look up to your right at the beer menu.Their selection of food spans across a good collection of tacos, sandwiches, macaroni, and ceviche.Their tacos are good! We ordered the salmon taco ($7 each) and chicken taco (2 for about $16). The sauce that complements these tacos were phenomenal. If you're sensitive to spice, you may want to steer clear or be sure to have some cold beer to wash off the heat.We also ordered the dirty bird sandwich (chicken sandwich) which is filled up with big pieces of chicken sandwiches between a crispy brioche. Definitely a must order as a first timer.And you cannot pass on the ceviche. We got the halibut ceviche and it was delicious!For the kids, we got an order of the smack n' cheese which is just a Mac n' cheese but a whole lot tastier. It's a little small relative to the price but it's quite hearty and rich so you may end up packing it for the road like we did.As a little dessert, we also got one of their 4 dollar molasses cookie shaped like a pig. I personally enjoyed it but it may have been an acquired taste. It is mostly moist but due to the monotony of flavor, some may perceive it to be dry and uneventful. They have other cookies too if you're looking for a more complex flavor and texture profile.After ordering, we grabbed a table and some chairs. We also cooled down with some of the complimentary lemon water and freshened up in the surprisingly clean bathroom. It was well lit and smelled pleasantly fragrant. They also have televisions for you to watch some sports highlights while you wait.The food doesn't take too long to come out and when they do, they all came out all at once. I really appreciated the staff member in announcing each dish as they handed it to us. The food looked presentable in their differently colored plates. We chowed down on our food in bliss and couldn't believe in luck in finding such a great place to recharge.Overall, Local on Main is a great place to dine whether you're on your way to another destination or if Local IS your destination. Very casual place and good for small to medium sized parties. I can see this place being popular throughout the day given the food and drink options they serve. I'll definitely be back - it's going on the itinerary anytime we need to come down this way!

It's pretty simple to get 5 stars, good food and good service!Dropped by here to pick up lunch and I'm super happy with the short rib tacos and the Lisa's ultimate crunch salad. Can't go wrong with the food because the owner cares and is a super nice guy!Wish I knew this place opened up 3 months ago because I would have come here more often but luckily, it's now my go to weekend spot.

I can't comment on anything except hat their hours say they are open. But their sign on the door says there closed. Lame.

We went there after my grandson's dedication and it was Beautiful atmosphere. We sat outside the service was Fabulous of the dishes almost look too beautiful to eat! But it tastes even better than it look, and the fruit sangria is to die for it is definitely not short of fruit it's like eating dessert at the same time

Wonder food and service in their soft opening. We had the first two items on the taco section of the menu. These were the beef short rib and southwest chicken tacos. Two of each were served and my wife and I had one of each. The short rib was tender and the taco was pretty rich, but delicious and came on a soft tortilla. It came with a dipping jus. The chicken taco was very flavorful with a crisp tortilla; very refreshing. It was served with fresh guacamole. They said the menu will change regularly for the summer during soft opening and then expand in early fall for the full opening.We had no problem getting seats inside and the staff were very helpful and nice.We'll be back regularly.

Sadly the advertising of this location and items is over represented. I always wanted to go to the previous deli, but could never find parking. A new small parking lot is provided which is actually a positive since the area can get crowded. You walk inside and the lights are off. A chalk board said a salmon taco was available for $7. 2 show cases with both lights off. One with cheese and the other with togo charcuterie boxes. I came here only for the smack in cheese. (Not worth $14)I order the $14 dish to go. I asked for a glass of white wine to go with it. All that was a available was a fruity white wine or sangria. For a seafood and chicken menu, there should be an available amount of white wines. I ordered a glass of red blend since there were no suitable white wines. The woman taking my order was not able to open a bottle of red wine. She had to go into the kitchen to get the bottle opened. As this is associated to an Italian company, this seems inappropriate. I sat on the patio. WORST MISTAKE. The noise was beyond disturbing and disruptive.
