| - I wasn't expecting much when I walked into Taco Local. I thought, maybe it'll be better than Chipotle, and that'd be cool.
Not only was it better than Chipotle, it was better than any Mexican food I've had to date. The atmosphere was fun and hip. The space is smaller than I expected, and I was hesitant of the small seats (two top bench) that sat us at. It works out though because the music is loud enough to drown out others conversations, but still allow you to have your own.
The menu is straight forward, but full of variety. There's street tacos (3 for $7.50!!!!!), especiale tacos (2 for $7.50), smokin' bowls ($7.50), and the bomb burrito ($7.50). The street tacos, smokin' bowls, and bomb burrito come with your choice of protein - and boy, do they have options (10 all together!).
The service was great; atmosphere is fairly "hipster-cali", but fun. We ordered chips, guac, and cheesy queso for our app (chips and salsa are not served automatically like most Mexican restaurants). The app came within 10 minutes and was mind-blowingly delicious. Not only do you have fresh made tortilla chips, but they also through in deep fried chips too! SO GOOD. Guac was fresh made and chunky - great flavor. Had to use two chips sometimes to get a good bite! Cheesy queso had just enough fire, and was delicious with the fried tortilla chips.
My husband ordered the mahi-mahi street tacos, and I ordered the bomb burrito (no beans). She asked if I wanted to make it "sexi-mexi" style (adding green and red chile, as well as queso sauces to it), and I declined. I did add the queso. What she did not tell me was how big the burrito would be.
When our food arrived, I was again- mind blown. The street tacos looked divine, but what really killed me was the burrito! It was, no joke, the size of a triple-stuffed burrito you would get at Chipotle. You HAD to use a knife and fork to eat it. As you cut into the burrito, you senses are overwhelmed with amazing smells - cilantro, slow cooked chicken, tomatillo sauce... Did I mention that the burrito is wrapped in a cheese-crusted tortilla? Seriously - the best burrito of my life. Crunchy, fresh, great mix of flavors - just. so. good.
My husbands mahi mahi street tacos were also delicious! I had one bite, but to be fair - I hate fish tacos and these were amazing! Only a little fishy on the end, but otherwise fresh and crunchy and good.
They offer a late night menu, take-out, a small outdoor patio, and of course - in-house seating. Super friendly pricing, fun atmosphere, oh, and frozen margaritas. What's more to love? We will DEFINITELY be back!
