The Local Taco Lexington

Local Taco is easily at the top of my list for best taco establishments not only in Lexington but also, well, anywhere! They offer an extensive taco menu with a wide variety of very unique tacos. When I visited for the first time and saw a “southern fried” taco on the menu I was both intrigued and puzzled because I thought fried chicken and tacos were quite an odd combination. I was, however, pleasantly surprised and it is one of my favorite tacos they offer! Local also offers many other meal options such as salads, enchiladas, quesadillas, and more! Local taco is also known for their speedy service and chill vibe. I don’t think I have been there one time where I have waited more than five minutes for my food! For these reasons it is always my go-to place when anyone is visiting me here in

Local Taco is one of my favorite places to get food in Lexington! It’s a casual spot and always has a great atmosphere. The staff is always excellent and very helpful, the food comes out quick and it's great for having a quick lunch or dinner with a friend. There is an indoor and outdoor area and you can choose where you want to sit. Local Taco is also great if you’re in a rush and want something quick that you can take to-go but don’t want fast food. I personally love the steak taco and the southern fried chicken taco, the tacos are small so I would suggest getting a couple. If you aren’t in the mood for a taco then me and my friends love to share the chips and queso. Overall, I have always had a great experience at Local Taco and totally suggest it to everyone, it's close to everything o

The Local Taco was the very first restaurant I tried when I first came to Lexington during my move in weekend and I could tell instantly that it was going to be one of my favorite spots. It's a small local taco (no pun intended) and fast casual place with a super welcoming vibe that makes you feel comfortable right away. As a UK student, it's super convenient being that it's located right off of north campus and also takes CatCash which is an added bonus. The menu has a wide variety of options, from tacos and quesadillas to salads and sides. They also have a kids menu for people who may come in with children. Although there is always something new to try, I get the buffalo chicken quesadilla every time I go. Their food is always hot and ready, and it tastes the same every time I get it. Th

Went for dinner the other night and enjoyed a frozen margarita (a bit sweeter than I prefer but great overall), chips with queso and the salsa Roja (both were amazing), and the Korean beef and Brisket tacos. The beef in each taco was overcooked, dry, and stringy. The flour tortillas were very fresh and made in house. I would say the accoutrements saved the poorly cooked meat. High recommend trying the Habanero lime sauce! Friendly service and a great location make this well worth the stop.

This was the first time at this location in years. The service was friendly, the service was quick, and the food was flavorful.
