"My girlfriend and I decided to try a new (to us) restaurant for Mexican food. I had gotten burritos here before with a friend about four years ago when we worked together. He recommended Taqueria El Local for their huge, generous portioned burritos. They were delicious and massive but I never had a regular meal here. So we were seated immediately by a very polite and attentive waitress. She did not speak very much English but that was fine, we figured out everything and it was fun to do so. The interior of the restaurant was colorful and there were some families present enjoying their meals. It was very local and felt that way. The salsa was literally some of the BEST SALSA that we have had in a while. It was definitely homemade and tasted authentic with a delicious blend of traditional spices. SO good! I ordered the Carne Asada and my girlfriend got the Mexican Barbecue plate. Both dishes were fantastic. What really got us was the taste of the meat, the flavor, the wonderful spices and tenderness! My Carne Asada was so good, the grilled onions were excellent too, grilled just right. I ate every single one. The barbecue meat was so tender and tasty. I'm glad my girlfriend shared some with me. After tasting it, I think if it were my dish, I would have curled my body around the plate, so no one could get near it. Any requests for a sample would have been met with a low foreboding growl ....... So this "hole in the wall" local restaurant will definitely stay on our list of places to visit! I even saw a guy from work there. Now that is verifiably local eh?!"
