Restaurante El Local is a casual eatery that serves a variety of dishes, including ceviche, sopa, pork stew, whole fried fish, caldo de marisco, enchiladas, tacos, tostadas, and gorditas. The food is generally well-regarded, with fresh and large portions, making it a great spot to share with friends. Reviewers have praised the amazing seafood soup, which comes in a huge bowl overflowing with seafood goodies like crab, clams, and big shrimp. Other entrees also offer large and tasty servings. While the atmosphere is described as a little tired, the restaurant's friendly staff can provide efficient service, although some have experienced long waits or a lack of attention. The horchata is noted to be the best ever had, and the pork/beef burrito has received high marks. The restaurant's simple appearance does not detract from the delicious food. Parking can be a challenge, as there is no dedicated lot and spots are limited. On certain lunch days, musicians may come in and play, adding a special touch to the dining experience.
