My wife, two-year-old daughter, and I have visited this 'Local Taco' three times thus far, and we all enjoy the fresh food. Fun taco options – my wife (and honestly the rest of us) enjoy the fish (haddock) tacos which have a zesty tartar sauce. I like the Korean BBQ with onion and cilantro. We have also enjoyed the buffalo... More

The food here is fantastic! They put things on a taco I would never dream of, and it works! Always very tasty and always very fresh. Gotta try the mexi tater tots too - full of great flavor! A variety of seating options available from patio to bar to back room. Staff and service are also great!

We were in town for the Rolex and ventured to the UK area for a bite to eat. LOVED Local Taco. Specials for the night were a Fried Oyster Taco and General Taos Chicken Taco. We did not try either, but all the tacos we had were fabulous and EXCELLENT margaritas! Great service, as well, and very fast. We loved... More

We decided to check them out after we saw some commercials for them. It definitely wasn't what we expected but it definitely surprised us. The wait for our food was a little longer (get chips and queso if you are really hungry) but when we did get our food, it was very hot and delicious. It's definitely not an atmosphere... More

I had been hearing over and over what a great place this was. Our last dat night my fiance and I decided to try the local Taco. I will say that the resteraunt was very clean looking. And for some people this may be exactly what they are looking for, it was not what I wanted. First you go in... More

I don't quite know how to describe the fare at Local Taco, except to say it's exceptional. Everyone I've taken there really love it, especially my vegetarian friends and family. My favorite is the lunch special. I get a veggie taco (portabello mushroom, sprouts, and I don't know what else, but it's all good) and a steak taco. When the... More

I saw the Local Taco on the Secrets of Bluegrass Chefs and was intrigued with menu. I am happy to report the meal lived up to the hype!

Great casual taco joint in what was once a residential home. Good selection of food and drink, good quality. Love the "bang-bang" sauce which adds a kick-you must ask for it.
