Local Cantina Columbus

Was visiting back from Chicago with my Boyfriend and had a bad craving for chips and salsa. If you're in Columbus, Ohio and craving a taste of Mexico, look no further than Local Cantina! I recently had the pleasure of dining at this vibrant spot, where my taste buds were taken on a tantalizing journey. But what made the experience truly special was knowing that Olivia and the staff, worked SO hard to make sure we had a good experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The colorful decor and lively music immediately set the tone for a fun and enjoyable meal. The menu was a delightful array of traditional Mexican dishes with a modern twist, offering something for everyone. Starting with appetizers, the guacamole was a standout. Creamy, fresh, and perfectly seasoned, it was the ideal companion to the crispy tortilla chips. The street corn, with its charred sweetness and tangy crema, was a crowd-pleaser that transported my taste buds to the bustling streets of Mexico City. For the main course, I opted for the tacos. (Of course) The Tempura shrimp is my new FAVORITE. (Thanks Olivia) To complement the meal, the margaritas were a must-try. Olivia's recommendation margarita, was a delight that perfectly balanced sweetness and tanginess. It was evident that the bartenders at Local Cantina take pride in crafting cocktails that are as beautiful as they are delicious. Now… What truly made the experience exceptional was Olivia's attentive service. Her genuine enthusiasm for the restaurant and its offerings shone through, making the meal feel like a personal journey through the menu. Her recommendations were spot-on, and her friendly demeanor added a personal touch to the dining experience. So, if you find yourself in the Buckeye State's capital, make sure to stop by Local Cantina and experience the magic firsthand. And who knows, you might even have the pleasure of being guided through the menu by the one and only Olivia! We will be back!
