| - Taco Local had been on my bucket list for some time, had an opportunity to stop on a Thursday afternoon, after work. The place was fairly empty, just 1 couple, in addition to myself. I sat myself, as the sign in front directed. I immediately looked for a drink menu, wanted a margarita. The server informed me that the establishment doesn't have an alcohol license therefore they only have beer and frozen margaritas from a machine. I I had my heart set on some street tacos and a margarita, at that point I referred back to the placemat menu and decided to order a bowl. The bowl gives you a list of options to choose from, you choose your protein, sauce and a dressing. The dressings were weird, for a mexican style bowl, the choices were avocado ranch, sherry vinaigrette honey mustard and something else. I opted to not get a dressing but I did add the cheese sauce and sour cream there was not an option for pico or salsa so I did order a side of that. The order took a little longer than I thought it would and I was not impressed once it was delivered. The bowl consisted of a base of power greens, arugula, iceberg, kale and shredded brussel sprouts, which I normally love, this was a miss for me, the brussel sprouts were really thick and woody, very hard to chew. There was also a smooth black bean sauce, which looked unappetizing and tasted awful, not sure, why the black beans needed to be made into a sauce instead of just plain black beans. There was very little chicken, and it was chopped so fine I could barely taste it. The whole Bowl was drizzled in sour cream with smoky queso on the side, and thank goodness the queso was on the side because it didn't taste good either. There was also a small scoop of flavorless rice. Thank goodness I ordered the side of salsa which at least added a little bit of flavor to the Bowl but other than that this was a big disappointment, I couldn't finish it all especially the side of the bowl with the black bean sauce. And last but not least after I settled my bill, I saw numerous flyers and signs posted around the restaurant stating that Thursdays from 5 to 9 was Girl Power Day and everything on the menu is half off, I was charged full price even though I arrived after five o'clock, since I had already settled my bill I didn't bother go dispute it, but shame on my server! I won't return.
