Came here for the yelp event a couple weeks ago and knew I had to come back! The restaurant alone is wonderful, much larger and more bar style seating than any of the other Local's. The food was better than I've had from any other Local as well. The guacamole was seasoned so well, and all of the tacos were made perfectly and full of flavor. The service is a bit confusing- it seems that the bar tenders are responsible for all of the tables, so they are often slower to get to you. Overall a wonderful restaurant and bar and my favorite location out of the other Local Cantinas

We went on a weeknight and there weren't that many people inside. Once we entered the restaurant, we waited by the host stand for about 10 minutes. The only person we see that is working is a lady behind the bar. She saw that we are standing at the host stand but did not say anything to us. Just ignored us. After about 10 minutes I went to the back to speak to the lady behind the bar to see if they were providing any service in the restaurant. I was about to leave by this point. However, soon as I went to the back, another women came out of the kitchen and told us to have a seat anywhere we like, she was the server and the host. Our server was really sweet and explained the menu to us and gave us recommendation. We ordered the Chicken Tinga, Birria toca and the Carne Asada taco. We also ordered the Chicken Nachos that came with street corn from the kids menu. I did not like the Birria toco at all. Part of the taco was burnt and it was just very greasy. The Carne Asada taco was good. But the Chicken Tinga was the best! Very flavorful. I could eat that again and again. As per the chicken nachos, it was really good. It's a big portion for being a kids meal and the corn that came with the meal was really good. We also got the margarita, which was good, but it tasted more like a lemonade then a margarita. Very disappointing since I didn't order a lemonade but a margarita. Food here is decent but the service is very poor!

Local Cantina has always been one the best spots to get a taco. The trolly district is a super cute area and this new location fits perfect there! Lora is room inside and out. I sat at the bar and it was very clean and nice. The bartenders were very sweet and asking if everything was good. Great service and great yelp event! A free taco and local marg.

Being from across town, and having been to other LCs around town, we were excited to check out this location. Upon arrival, one thing we immediately noticed was that there were no visible signs of the restaurant outside (at least from the parking lot), and even as we entered, we didn't actually see a "Local Cantina" sign until after we were seated. There was nobody at the host station, though, and we waited several minutes before we saw a restaurant staff, Sid. Sid was having to take care of hostess duty and server duty of the entire restaurant. While she was doing an amazing job at both, it was quite unfortunate on part of the management to not staff the restaurant appropriately, and particularly during happy hour. Once we were seated, Sid took great care of us. She was patient with explaining the menu, all the while having to take care of all the tables and also greeting and seating new guests. We ordered a few different things - house margarita, a Chicken Tinga taco, a Carne Asada taco, a Birria taco, Chicken Nachos from the kids' menu, and a Chicken Chimichanga. The Chicken Nachos come with a side, and we picked the Street Corn. Aside from the birria taco, which was super greasy, everything was delicious. The kids' chicken nacho was also a decent portion size. To complement all of this food, the unlimited chips and salsa station was a nice touch. Overall, good food and good service. However, management/ownership needs to support their employees and staff this location appropriately.

Food was almost inedible. Maybe it has been a long time since I’ve been to a Local Cantina, because this is not what I remember the food tasting like. It used to be good! Pushed through the queso with gelatinous chorizo, but couldn’t finish the overly greasy birria tacos with what is listed as consommé but is more like a chile puree. The chimichanga had a sandpaper texture and all of the meat was mushy and odd tasting. Quite shocked at the quality, as I eat out all the time and very rarely encounter such poorly flavored and put together food.
We love having Local Cantina right in our neighborhood. The drinks and food are always consistent and tasty. Servers and staff are kind and welcoming!Parking: Open parking and good amount of spotsKid-friendliness: Staff is welcoming of children and helpful with bringing items needed.

Good drinks and food and servers are always welcoming and kind! Very kid friendly. We personally love the old Trolley car outside at the trolley barn location and being able to easily park in a lot with many open spots.

Food was on the cold side , so that was a bit disappointing, flavor was great. I had the chicken burrito as recommend by our server and consider it a good recommendation . I loved the chips and salsa being self serve ! Salsa was a tad spicy for my taste, but great flavor and it grew on me each bite. I had the ride my mustache marg and it was average for a small $8. Really enjoyed the ambiance . Our serve could've been more attentive , especially for as it was a slow Thursday night . Will give it another shot for sure !
