Local Taco is easily at the top of my list for best taco establishments not only in Lexington but also, well, anywhere! They offer an extensive taco menu with a wide variety of very unique tacos. When I visited for the first time and saw a “southern fried” taco on the menu I was both intrigued and puzzled because I thought fried chicken and tacos were quite an odd combination. I was, however, pleasantly surprised and it is one of my favorite tacos they offer! Local also offers many other meal options such as salads, enchiladas, quesadillas, and more! Local taco is also known for their speedy service and chill vibe. I don’t think I have been there one time where I have waited more than five minutes for my food! For these reasons it is always my go-to place when anyone is visiting me here in Lexington! I can confidently say I have never taken someone there and not had them love it! One of the things I found to be really cool about the building is the room right next to the kitchen that offers a window looking into the kitchen where you can see the fresh tortillas being made. I think it makes for such a homie vibe and it really makes you trust where your food is coming from!! I can say without hesitation I will be a Local Taco regular for years to come!

Local Taco is one of my favorite places to get food in Lexington! It’s a casual spot and always has a great atmosphere. The staff is always excellent and very helpful, the food comes out quick and it’s great for having a quick lunch or dinner with a friend. There is an indoor and outdoor area and you can choose where you want to sit. Local Taco is also great if you’re in a rush and want something quick that you can take to-go but don’t want fast food. I personally love the steak taco and the southern fried chicken taco, the tacos are small so I would suggest getting a couple. If you aren’t in the mood for a taco then me and my friends love to share the chips and queso. Overall, I have always had a great experience at Local Taco and totally suggest it to everyone, it’s close to everything on UK’s campus and is a great place to eat at!

The Local Taco was the very first restaurant I tried when I first came to Lexington during my move in weekend and I could tell instantly that it was going to be one of my favorite spots. It’s a small local taco (no pun intended) and fast casual place with a super welcoming vibe that makes you feel comfortable right away. As a UK student, it’s super convenient being that it’s located right off of north campus and also takes CatCash which is an added bonus. The menu has a wide variety of options, from tacos and quesadillas to salads and sides. They also have a kids menu for people who may come in with children. Although there is always something new to try, I get the buffalo chicken quesadilla every time I go. Their food is always hot and ready, and it tastes the same every time I get it. The restaurant also has a variety of seating options which includes indoor and outdoor seating. I definitely would recommend it to anyone looking for good food and good vibes in Lexington.

Went for dinner the other night and enjoyed a frozen margarita (a bit sweeter than I prefer but great overall), chips with queso and the salsa Roja (both were amazing), and the Korean beef and Brisket tacos. The beef in each taco was overcooked, dry, and stringy. The flour tortillas were very fresh and made in house. I would say the accoutrements saved the poorly cooked meat. High recommend trying the Habanero lime sauce! Friendly service and a great location make this well worth the stop.

This was the first time at this location in years. The service was friendly, the service was quick, and the food was flavorful.

The food was lackluster, my tacos were dry, and the flavors were just ok. The service was absolutely minimal, a little snippy at the register and food delivery was fine. The atmosphere is loud, and kinda worn out but clean. I thought this place was great when it opened. I went every week, but I became gluten intolerant and they only have 3 tacos that I can eat, so I’ve only come back a couple of times. Both visits in the last year were like this so I feel fine saying that it’s mediocre.

Awesome place! Great atmosphere. Dinner is 2 tacos and 2 sides for $16 without a drink. Lunch is $12. I got the Pulled Pork taco and brisket taco, Mexican rice and chips & salsa!

I really enjoyed tacos. It was a high quality one but the portion size is quit small, so you definitely need to order at least two tacos.
Food came on the table very fast, so there was not no waiting time ( at least for lunch time on week days).
The WV was clean!

I stopped here last month during a quick trip to Lexington. I had heard such great things and was excited to try it while walking around downtown.
I ordered one southern fried chicken taco and one smoked brisket taco. Both were excellent, but the sauce on the fried chicken made it the winner. We ordered 2 different sides so we could try 2 different ones – mexi tots were good, but the queso that came with the chips was incredible. Next time, I would just order that as the side for both of us. And, of course, sweet tea to drink for me.
Very cool vibe as well. Loved the openness, so that I was eating inside, but still enjoying the summer weather. Lots of people stopping for lunch – we got in just ahead of the rush from the hospital – and loved the prompt, friendly servicec, as well as how quickly the food cane out.
Highly recommend stopping in.

I love local! This is no exception.
I had the chips n salsa and a 4 taco basket. The 4 tacos were pulled pork, Korean BBQ, Tequila lime chicken, and brisket.
The chips and salsa were fresh and tasty. The pulled pork was a little bland and I would say ok. The brisket was ok. The Korean BBQ and tequila lime chicken were fantastic. I will come back and get those 2 with 2 new tacos.
