I have to share this restaurant because it is truly a hidden gem! My husband and I are creatures of habit. We eat the same places and the same meals over and over. El Local is the place we love to go now because EVERYTHING on the menu is amazing and the service is fantastic. Such friendly people, great drinks and food. It’s rarely busy and we’re always shocked because of what a great place it is! It’s more traditional Mexican vs tex Mex. We’ve tried everything on the menu and have never been disappointed!
My family and I love el local! We have been dining hear for well over a year and writing this review was needed. Staff is always friendly and nice when you walk in and we have never had a negative experience with anyone. On top of that the food is soooo good. Easily my favorite place to go for Mexican food. On our most recent trip we also tried one of their new mocktails there introducing to the menu and I liked in more than the original drink I ordered 😂. 10/10 would reccomend to go for a bite of food with friends or family!!!
I love this place. The bar speaks for itself. Come and enjoy! Even though I don’t wanna share my little hole in the wall. Lovely food and wonderful service. Pedro makes the best drinks! And I’m picky lol
