Reviews for Local Cantina Canal Winchester in Canal Winchester, OH
The new menu is a HUGE improvement! This used to be a place we would go for average food, good drinks, and good service. The... tacos were lackluster and the vegetarian options were few and flavorless. But their new menu has lots of great options for meateaters and vegetarians! I love the addition of vegan chicken as a substitution for any meat. We will definitely be going morefrequently now. Read more
This was my first time visiting the location in Canal Winchester. The first waiter, Andre, seemed really good and caring and... took my order. Later switched seats and was placed with a waitress called Elisabeth. The latter experience was terrible. Sheseemed disinterested in providing service. I got the chicken fajitas which had little to no taste at all. Needless to say,it will be my first and last visit. Not recommended. Read more
Nice atmosphere and music. Self serve salsa and chips which made me a bit uncomfortable. Who knows who has been dipping their... hands in the chips? My friend and I got two tacos each. We were both very disappointed. The tacos need to come with a heatwarning. Way too spicy! Chunks of meat were too big and chewy. The corn tortilla disintegrated immediately and I picked throughthe filling with a fork. Did not finish because it was too spicy. Frustrated to spend $8 on two tacos I could not eat. Read more
I've been there twice. I don't plan to go again. The first time I went, the service was terrible and our food was cold and there... was little of it. The only reason there was a second time is the couple we were with insisted they'd had a good experience thereand we should try it again. We did. We all four regretted it. Three of us had tacos, one had a taco salad, all of us had chipsand salsa. Our mouths were a little hot, which surprised us because the last time either couple was their, separately, the salsawas medium to mild. But the taco salad was off the chart hot. The person who ordered the taco salad did not finish it and laterbecame ill. They should have complained, but some people are just too polite I guess. If the menu said be careful, this stuff isway hot, it would be different. There's just too much inconsistency to make us want to go back. Read more
This was my first time. The service was great. Love the decor. You serve yourself your own nachos. This was pretty cool. I... wasn't really feeling the food, but I think it's more appropriate for people who looking for drinks and a bite. So if you liketo have drinks and hang out with friends, this is for you. I wanted good food, not to drink. Read more
Entering the building to an upbeat atmosphere, conversation and catchy music your world changes. A warm welcome and quick... seating got us our drinks quickly. Standard fare greeted us as we received chips and salsa. We began our first visit with someelote (street corn) which was delicious! The choices for entrees is quite diverse with over a dozen taco options, bowls,quesadillas. Really recommend trying a Mustache Ride for your libation and an assortment of tacos ?? Read more
Fun atmosphere, tasty food and good tunes, tacos were great, lots of creative options at a very fair price. Employees were... friendly helpful. My 88 year old Dad had the carnitas skillet and I had an assortment of tacos. I'll be back alone and or withfriends to check out the margarita options. Read more
Solid place to eat with a fun atmosphere. I highly recommend going on Tuesdays for all sorts of good quality tacos at a nice... price. Never had their drinks. Their server Andre is great and their music has a nice volume. The first and second time we wentit was fantastic. The third time the chips were stale, and the tacos weren't as consistent as before, but overall it was still awin. Parking is a bit of a challenge. We park about a block away behind a sports bar.
