The Trio
The Trio is a basket of tortilla chips with 3 dips. It usually comes with salsa roja, salsa verde, and queso, but I got guacamole instead of queso to make it vegan. It was all excellent!
Veggie Bowl
The Veggie Bowl usually comes with Poblano Cream sauce, but that's not vegan. I substituted it for the Chimichurri sauce. Then I added avocado and peppers. This bowl includes black beans, Mexican rice, sauteed veggies, and pico de gallo. This is all vegan!
I had a little chat with the chef. He was very friendly and helpful. He let me know how to order this food to make it vegan. I also found out Local Taco makes almost everything from scratch with real ingredients. This is real food! And it tastes like real food. They do not specialize in vegan food, but they know how to make it. And it's excellent!
Local Taco currently serves delicious food in Tennessee, Alabama, and Kentucky.
UPDATE:
My experience was good enough that I returned to the same Local Taco and ordered the same thing as above except with the Chipotle Barbecue sauce. This second time was not as pleasant. I started nibbling at my beans and rice, then I moved to the roasted veggies. As I prepared a fork full of veggies to dip into the sauce I noticed something in my food. It was either chicken fat or pork fat. It ruined my meal! Management remade my meal as a bowl of just beans and rice. That seemed to be a good replacement. However, they charged for the Veggie Bowl instead of beans and rice. If they got my order wrong that would be completely acceptable, but the order wasn't wrong. The issue was that something really disgusting was in my food! If a non-vegan customer ordered the pork taco meal and found a pubic hair, piece of glass, roach, cigarette butt, Phillips head screw, or severed fingertip in the food, that customer would receive an apology and a free meal or discount. During my visit, they made it seem like I expected too much from them. It didn't seem to be important to them at all. So this visit did not leave me feeling good about my experience. I currently have no desire to return.
