About Local Cantina - Clintonville

Local Cantina - Clintonville is a lively spot with a unique flair. Known for its delicious tacos and reasonable prices, it offers a casual dining experience with a friendly atmosphere. The food is tasty, with options like the taco salad and loaded deluxe tacos, which are worth the extra cost. Guests can enjoy a large, fresh-made salsa and house-made salted chips that add to the enjoyable meal. The bar area, decorated with copper, provides a welcoming space where customers often sit and relax, often receiving attentive service from staff. While service can sometimes be slow during busy times, the overall experience is positive, and the staff is always pleasant. Parking may be a bit challenging, but the restaurant's atmosphere, good food, and kind staff make it a great place to grab a bite, catch a game, or enjoy a night out.

The queso is a must-try, as many have mentioned, and the chips are possibly the best around. The carnitas taco with pineapple slaw/salsa is a good choice, while the barbacoa taco with the elote topping is also worth considering. The General Tso's cauliflower taco is a favorite, and the Nashville hot chicken taco, though not as spicy as expected, is still a tasty option. The Ron Burgundy quesadilla and the mac and cheese (shells with queso) are also noteworthy menu items. Customers can enjoy a refreshing blood orange margarita as well.

I’m not a local so I was here with a large group of people in town for a softball tournament. My husband got a bowl of chips (which is a chip/salsa bar by the front door.) Unfortunately, when I got to the bottom of the bowl there was a large dead bug. Vomit! When I brought this to the waitresses attention, she made a face of disgust, took the bowl and walked off. That’s it. Never heard another word about it.
I’ve never worked in the food industry, so I don’t know the...read full review

The food is delicious and the customer service is probably one of the best I’ve experienced.

Very good food at a reasonable price. 1st time, but we WILL be back.
