| - Let's just say I really wasn't feeling Taco Local.
While the atmosphere was very open and easy-going, it just didn't pair up with the experience. Our waitresses were super friendly, but that's just about the only real compliment I have for this place. The first red flag probably should have been the lemonade my boyfriend received, it honestly tasted like someone squeezed a single lemon slice into a glass of water and called it a day. But as someone that isn't big into Mexican cuisine, I inquired about a few items on the menu. After some thought, I decided to play it safe with the muchos nachos sans avocado sauce and sour cream -- what could go wrong?
A lot, apparently.
When it arrived at our table, it just looked like a massive pile of ingredients thrown together layer by layer. My boyfriend and I both looked at each other in total disbelief. If the waitress would have told me the portion size was so huge, I probably would have ordered something else. The shredded chicken was incredibly bland making it difficult to enjoy the warm, crispy flour tortilla chips and pico. I found myself digging all the way through just to get a taste of everything which only added to the disappointment. But ultimately, I think the biggest let down is how there was hardly any queso or cotija/cheddar jack included in the dish -- like seriously, what kind of nachos aren't smothered in cheese?
I guess I'm thankful that the tortillas didn't get soggy and crumble too easily (probably since everything was so dry) because my boyfriend found them appetizing enough for leftovers later on in the afternoon. We will probably visit again sometime seeing as it wasn't totally awful, but I will definitely be trying something different out.
