Y’all, this is not your typical Mexican food, but boy, is it yummy! The atmosphere is so relaxing, and the music is at the right volume, where you can still have a conversation. We opted to sit at the bar. The bartenders were so friendly and made our drinks to perfection. We later took our drinks and went to sit in their lounge area, which was super comfy. There is also a patio. I love to sit out on patios (when it’s not scorching hot out). We would definitely return.

I visited The Local with suspicion this afternoon for lunch with a friend. I have only lived in Abilene for three weeks, and whenever someone recommended me, this place would say, “it is an overpriced Mexican restaurant.” I am Mexican and know of all those Mexican wannabe restaurants out there. But, today, my white-American friend wanted to go there, and I accepted. He said he would pay, so I decided to try the overpriced Mexican restaurant for free!

Cozy place, the food was good, especially the grits. Had the bacos wrapped shrimp. Wife had the tacos al pastor. Nice presentation, tacos looked great. But tacos are not made to be gourmet food. The pasta was delicious.

We stopped here after the state powerlifting meet because they didn’t close until midnight. This was our first time in Abilene and this gem was a great find. Drinks and food were awesome and a great price. Service was also good. And they have THE BEST grits you will ever taste. I’m not even a grit eater but they were sooo good.

Nice place and great food. We were there for the brunch and it was a limited menu, but good food. The morning margarita was a Hit!! No sweet & sour used in them, very refreshing! I’ll be ordering again next time! Wait staff were very nice and the place was roomy! Great atmosphere.

Just love this place. Wonderful ambience, excellent food and selection, great service at reasonable prices. We had their amazing fish tacos! They have a gorgeous covered with trees and shade and fans. The patio was perfect for us because we were traveling with our dog. The waitress was very helpful and attentive and even brought water for our dog since the weather was warm. Will definitely be back next time we are in town.
