Local Cantina Westerville

So, stop waiting until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until winter, until your song comes on, until you've had a drink.... there is no better time than right now to be happy.

Service is always fast and friendly! New items are delicious! We tried the new pot of gold dip. So good! And once again, I have proven I cannot be trusted with unlimited tortilla chips!

It was a cool place with a lot of cool decorations. I sat there for a long time just watching all those decorations. The food was great too. It just became our newest hangout spot now.

Okay place. Free chips and salsa. Went with the Nashville Hot Tacos. Not very hot.They have a lengthy beer list, but of course they were out of the Bad Baptist Stout. Went with the old favorite - Guinness.

Great ambiance and good chips and salsa. I applaud this place for making the chips and salsa a self serve option because refilling those is a daunting task when in the weeds. However, that was all we liked. The birria tacos were overpowered by the cheese. The kids' quesadillas were not good. Again, what is with this cheese!?!? Also, I had three tacos myself and.....THE TORTILLAS WERE COLD. you cannot serve cold tortillas at a taco place. The margaritas and hot sauces were too sweet. This is not at all a representation of good or even decent tacos. Tacos are simple. These are anything but that and the flavors combos are weird. We will never be back but thank you for the coupons from the summer reading challenge via CML.

My husband and I like Local Cantina quite a but. Previously we had been to the Granville and Clintonville locations several times (several years ago). This was our first time at the Westerville location. The feelings is much the same. Warm, upbeat, low key, and friendly. The food is decent, a variety of beer on tap and cans, and the prices ate usually reasonable. We stopped by late afternoon/early evening. It wasn't busy but started to fill up a bit later. It was 614 Restaurant Week ($15 price point). Chips and salsa are self serve. The $15 meal included a dip (1st course, 2 tacos from a list (2nd course), & a dessert (either fried ice cream or an apple empanada). I ordered the corn based dip, it was ok. I think the salsa is better. My husband had the green chili dip, it had good flavor and depth. I ordered the bahn mi taco and the mango fish taco. I loved all the toppings on the bahn mi taco including the picled onion, cucumber, cilantro, and sauce but didn't love the carnitas in it. The mango taco was good. My husband ordered the Farmers Market taco (flour tortilla, refried beans, had corn taco, filled with veggies) and the chef's choice (this location had a spam/pineapple combo). Both were tasty, I think I liked the spam pineapple because it was so flavorful. The apple empanada was solidly ok. Local Cantina has their own lager on tap for $4 a pint. Overall assessment, everything was solidly ok. Giving 4 stars instead of 3 because we've really liked the food (better than ok) in prior visits.

I love this place!! Love the interior with the big garage doors that they open up in the spring/summer to the patio. Tuesdays are a great day to go in and try a variety of tacos. They are $2 a piece dine in only. Think the hubby and I have tried about every one they. Haven't had a bad one but, we definitely have our favorites. And they have a special taco that we always ask about and usually give it a try. And they don't disappoint either. Love their margaritas too. Wish they were a little bigger for their price but, I guess you can't have it all.. Lol..We have become I would say regulars on at least every other Tuesday to get some tacos and we haven't had a bad visit yet! Very consistent with everything! Oh and always great service!!!

Ordered takeout and this will be a permanent fixture in our Saturday night takeout rotation from now on.

LC in Westerville is a great place to hang and chill. Food is always great, drinks are awesome and atmosphere is casual laid back fun. Weve never had a bad experience here. Get the nachos...the best!

Believe it or not these are the burrito bowls we ordered completely untouched. This is how we received the order and the burrito bowls are not even halfway full! The "sauce" was just grease. This place is a SCAM! AVOID!!!!!
