The food and service is really good, but man is the place unnecessarily loud. All that hard work for the food and service and no planning for horrible acoustics.

Probably the best tacos I’ve ever had. 🤌🏼Unique take and style, delicious flavors, beautiful presentation, and great atmosphere. If you are in the Madison area do yourself a favor and get some tacos at Taco Local. Your mind, body and soul will thank you. 🌮🌿🌶️🍍🍽️

I swear I exited Madison and entered a side cafe in el D.F. (Mexico City). The chill atmosphere and music with the sound of traffic whooshing past felt spot on. But the food, Dios mío, was a 10 out of 5! So well seasoned and juicy, just the aroma made me swoon with delight. Cassidy gave me great information so I could get the perfect flight of tacos, (DO NOT miss the cochinita pibil), and made sure I didn’t miss out on the rum cake. (Thank you, Cassidy!) I’d eat here daily if I wasn’t just passing through the state.

Unbelievable contribution to the Madison food scene, and sits at the top of the taco pyramid. Flavor is outrageous; selection is refined; cocktails are craft. We got lucky finding it, but it’s on our map and it will be our repeat place.

It's very authentic setting places this establishment in a different category. Simple cocktail menu - taco options that are delicious and won't overwhelm you with hours of decision making. While the food is the focus - the simplicity of the atmosphere allows you to focus on your partner; all the while having a great conversation.

My partner and I ordered a plate of 5 tacos, chips and guac, and we both got drinks, which totaled about $50 not including a tip. I enjoyed the 3 tacos I had but my partner had the 2 vegetarian tacos and thought they lacked flavor. I ordered one of their drink specials, a double daiquiri and the size of the cup it was served in was so small it tasted like it was straight up 2 shots of rum and just a splash of juice. I enjoyed the tacos al pastor the best, the pricing just felt a little steep for what we actually got. I would be willing to give it another try and just stick to what I know is good.
Nice restaurant, the tacos were good. They were smaller than I'm used to. The owner is awesome, very nice & down to earth.
He's there most nights it seems & always helping staff & watching customers

Seriously, so good. Fresh, dressed like a million bucks- might as well wear your all blue chucks. The food is EXTREMELY fresh, no janky guac, sketchy seafood, or dried chix- it's all good. Bevs take a sec to get, but, honestly it's worth it. Enjoy!
Vegetarian options: As a veg, they have very interesting options such as mushroom al pastor and cauliflower/sweet potato options on rotation. I'd love for them to throw some marinated tofu on the revolving menu, but ya can't have it all ?♀️ pretty sure I was told the rice and beans have no lard (double check) so enjoy!
Wheelchair accessibility: On ground floor, double doors- everything rhymes!
