    I am OBSESSED with their food! I just moved to KY and usually only eat authentic tacos, but Local Taco has exceptionally delicioso tacos! I’ve tried the veggie, shrimp, fish and smoked brisket tacos and they are all YUM-O. Love the queso and veggie bowl as well!

    Food was on point. You walk in and order at the front desk. You can choose to dine in or take out. Food is well portioned and full of flavor. The Koren and Taquila Lime tacos were delicious. Jalapeno coleslaw definitely had a delightful kick. Service was pretty simple. You walk in and order at the front counter and they give you a table sign (should you order in). Then they bring you your food. You refill your own drinks. Atmosphere is clean with open space. Has a nice bar area as well. You won't be disappointed.

    I loved this spot. We usually stop in Lexington on our way to Ohio. I don't think I have a bad thing to say about our visit. Staff was friendly and greeted us, ordering was pretty easy and food came to our table quickly. We had a variety of different dishes, I'd say the brisket enchiladas were the best! I couldn't taste the quesadilla or the fish tacos because I can't have gluten, but what I could try was so good. I'll definitely be back.
