What Hannah Maier doesn't like about The Local:
The food was terrible. No flavor, fried shrimp tacos were so greasy. Chips were stale. Margaritas were plain, mine wasn’t even properly mixed. Tasted like a drink I made in college. Disappointing. View all feedback. What Denise Wegner likes about The Local:
This is bougie Mexican food. It?s technically a taco but is it? I say this with the most love. The food was absolutely delicious. The service was phenomenal and it seemed a drink magically appeared before I even had a chance to drink most of the current one. My one and only complaint is that if you?re willing to pay $16 for 3 tacos you should be able to pick from any taco column. View all feedback.
