Local Cantina - Grandview

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.

This company has gone through some sort of shift to the soulless corporate model of business. I’ve been a regular for years, and it’s unpleasant going there anymore. It began with hearing staff muttering about inanely stupid rules; it has escalated to the company clearly getting rid of any of the people who have loyally worked there for years for insanely arbitrary reasons. The new crew is unintuitive (if you even recognize someone on any given day), and the service now sucks. Not to mention, I’ve seen the new management for weeks. The new GM spends most of her time talking to her boyfriend or gossiping. She’s never said hello to me, nor have I seen her speak to other customers or help her employees much. Why is this company firing loyal staff and alienating a loyal clientele? I even tried emailing and heard no response, naturally. The food will go downhill, shortly, as the new corporate busybodies find ways to cut corners. At this point, I’d rather go to Applebees. I refuse to return.

I was racially profiled November the 2nd I went up to the bar to have a few drinks with a friend and my boyfriend. The Cantina is literally right next to my house. My neighbors were up there. They were up there way before I went up there to my knowledge they were in an altercation so when we came up there, things were already kind of hot, but I still went in there to go get my drinks after that they all came outside in the bartender kicked us all out, assuming that I was with him because I know them we literally live three doors down from each other, but since we were all black, he kicked all the Black people out not the race that was in there and he was very rude about it so I left because I didn’t wanna start no trouble so I went back up there to talk to the manager about the situation. I thought that he understood because I told him what Happened and I went up there a couple hours later to have a drink and some food and the two bartenders were very rude to me. The one bartender cussed at me and yelled at me. Also, the gentleman did too, and the gm did not do anything about it, but besides telling me to leave, and I was trying to explain to him again that I thought we had a conversation and you told me I wasn’t banned because I told him before that I did not come up here with them. They were already up here way before I came up here. It’s not my problem that I live next to them and my feelings were so hurt because I go up there literally very often to get drinks and food. The GM told me that he was going to review the cameras, but he’s not gonna do anything about it. he took his waiter size and I called the cops and only thing they said was I can just call HR. The location is located on Oak Street in Columbus, Ohio. But I know for a fact, they are racist against Black people cause every time I go in there they take forever to come to our table and they just don’t have no respect for anybody but the other race they’re so cheery and respectful

My husband and I stopped in on our way through Columbus Ohio, and we were thoroughly impressed with our meals! The food was delicious!! They had an atmosphere much like Condado tacos, but the bar was set much higher with Local Cantina- when comparing the two, the tacos were so much more unique and definitely more flavorful, the dips blew competitors out of the water, and the atmosphere was so much more authentic and unique! We loved our experience and can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend.

It's a pretty average place all around. Definitely a good for value for what you get with a variety of options that could find something for anyone.

Great tacos from a unique menu, good beer selection and some clever cocktails. But service was a bit slow, and don't come here if you want a conversation with your dining companions: the latin hip-hop music was so loud, diners have to scream to hear each other. Need to dial it back about 10dB.
