Veggie taco is amazing! I’m from Austin and I will dream about having this taco again. Adding it to my favorites list for when I’m in town again.

The Local Taco was the very first restaurant I tried when I first came to Lexington during my move in weekend and I could tell instantly that it was going to be one of my favorite spots. It's a small local taco (no pun intended) and fast casual place with a super welcoming vibe that makes you feel comfortable right away. As a UK student, it's super convenient being that it's located right off of north campus and also takes CatCash which is an added bonus. The menu has a wide variety of options, from tacos and quesadillas to salads and sides. They also have a kids menu for people who may come in with children. Although there is always something new to try, I get the buffalo chicken quesadilla every time I go. Their food is always hot and ready, and it tastes the same every time I get it. The restaurant also has a variety of seating options which includes indoor and outdoor seating. I definitely would recommend it to anyone looking for good food and good vibes in Lexington.

Local Taco is one of my favorite places to get food in Lexington! It’s a casual spot and always has a great atmosphere. The staff is always excellent and very helpful, the food comes out quick and it's great for having a quick lunch or dinner with a friend. There is an indoor and outdoor area and you can choose where you want to sit. Local Taco is also great if you’re in a rush and want something quick that you can take to-go but don’t want fast food. I personally love the steak taco and the southern fried chicken taco, the tacos are small so I would suggest getting a couple. If you aren’t in the mood for a taco then me and my friends love to share the chips and queso. Overall, I have always had a great experience at Local Taco and totally suggest it to everyone, it's close to everything on UK’s campus and is a great place to eat at!

Local Taco is easily at the top of my list for best taco establishments not only in Lexington but also, well, anywhere! They offer an extensive taco menu with a wide variety of very unique tacos. When I visited for the first time and saw a “southern fried” taco on the menu I was both intrigued and puzzled because I thought fried chicken and tacos were quite an odd combination. I was, however, pleasantly surprised and it is one of my favorite tacos they offer! Local also offers many other meal options such as salads, enchiladas, quesadillas, and more! Local taco is also known for their speedy service and chill vibe. I don’t think I have been there one time where I have waited more than five minutes for my food! For these reasons it is always my go-to place when anyone is visiting me here in Lexington! I can confidently say I have never taken someone there and not had them love it! One of the things I found to be really cool about the building is the room right next to the kitchen that offers a window looking into the kitchen where you can see the fresh tortillas being made. I think it makes for such a homie vibe and it really makes you trust where your food is coming from!! I can say without hesitation I will be a Local Taco regular for years to come!

Being a college student, and in a college town, it is the perfect place to go with family or friends, its fun, social, and tasty. The prices were a little high, but nothing crazy. Me and my roommates went on a Thursday and Friday night, and it was busy, but the service was still super-fast. It is a little different than your usual Mexican restaurant, you order at the counter, and they bring it to your table number. It came out in about 5 minutes, and everything was super fresh! I got the dinner plate which was two sides and two tacos for about $16 with no drink. I ordered the steak taco with just lettuce and tomato, and honestly would not get it again, steak was dry, but on the other hand I got the spicy shrimp taco, and it was amazing, totally would get when I go back. For my sides, I got the Mexican rice, just your usual rice nothing special, and I got the chips and salsa, chips were fresh, salsa was perfect, totally going back soon!

They charge 15% of the bill for to go orders. This will be the last time I go for take out.
Food was a little cold. I was there just at the beginning of the lunch period. I got the brisket tacos (as one choice). The brisket was cold and a bit dry. I was surprised. LT I usually on it’s game when it comes to food prep.
