    Love this place!

    Local Taco is totally worth the wait. Went on a Saturday around lunchtime and had to wait about 20-30 minutes. The food is amazing. They have daily lunch specials too. Highly recommend the shrimp tacos.

    Great

    This was a great choice for a local place to eat. The line you have to wait in to order tells it all. "If you're willing to wait in line, it must be good. Right" if you want your food faster consider sitting at the...More

    Worth The Wait

    This place seems to always be crowded. There was a line out the door for a Friday lunch time. You pay and order up front. The tacos are small, but delicious! The chips and salsa was also great! Reasonably prices and a nice atmosphere!

    That's a Street Taco

    Excellent flavor, portions, quality, and atmosphere. Place is always crowded and parking around the place is not the best, but it is worth the walk if you have to park far away. Enjoyed so much for lunch, I'm going back for dinner. Price point is...More

    Steak Taco Heaven

    The steak tacos are beyond good. The salsa and guacamole go perfect w/their chips. The atmosphere was great and it's located right in the heart of Lexington (close to UK's campus & downtown). I've eaten here twice so far and both experiences having me wanting...More

    I like the food here

    So I went here last month and got a couple tacos for me and friends. The food here is good, kinda, not really, just kidding! My dog's name is lumpy by the way if you were wondering! Bye.

    Fast service and good tacos

    Ate here twice while attending a conference. There are plenty of places like this in the South; well thought out menus that allow the kitchen to churn out cheap but tasty tacos, beer, soft drinks and frozen Margaritas to students and locals even when the...More

    We had a fun summer evening meal dining outside at Local Taco. Food was good. Prices were reasonable. Nice atmosphere. I highly recommend it.
