The Local

This place is a joke as is their $6, 1 oz, chips and salsa.

Rude service, rude waiter, rude owner. Just an all around wretched experience.

Save your money and go to a real Mexican Restaurant

It was great. Big advantage to this business is that they are open till 12am. Made one of the best margaritas in years. It was 22 dollars for 2 but well worth it. The crispy wonton tacos were outstanding. Had the fajitas with shrimp and beef. Beef was a little tough but still good. Shrimp were great. Total was 61 plus 12 tip. Recommend it as a anytime till 12 am place to eat.

Amazing food and decently priced for the ambiance! Lacey our server was so sweet and helpful 🙌

A don’t miss when in Abilene, Texas! Right downtown and convenient to shopping, sightseeing and beautiful green spaces. Ate here for brunch 4/24/21. Dining available inside or outside. Immaculately clean. Wonderful service. Hip atmosphere. Would definitely visit again. Highly recommend.

McKailey was our server. She was awesome! Food wasn't great. Outta steaks, so I got the guacamole burger. Nearly red on the inside. Fries were also cold and soggy. Atmosphere was nice. Seemed like a great place to take a date for drinks.

Great place to hangout with friends! Relaxed environment with great food. Yummy drinks as well. Food was reasonably priced with special deals on Tuesday’s. Highly recommend for good Mexican in the Abilene area.

This place looks awesome. The design and decor is very well put together. It has a modern speakeasy feel to it with spots of color. It is newly opened and because of that I am giving some grace. Over it was a good experience but there are some areas that could be improved. The hostess that greeted us was nice but her facial expression wasn't very welcoming. The restaurant was not busy at all and yet we were sat directly next to another table. I wondered why we couldn't have been sat maybe one table over? The tables here are set very close together, much like a NY restaurant. The server was really good. She was very attentive and gave us very good recommendations. The attire of the wait staff was terrible! It did not match the feel and decor of the restaurant. I hope they change this. It would help the overall experience. The menu is short which makes choosing your meal fairly easy. Over the food was good, not great, but good. The drinks were fantastic. The margarita and cocktails we had we're worth going there for. I would go there for the drinks, sit at the bar or lounge area, and order an appetizer. This is a very cool new place and with a couple of tweaks it could be awesome! I will be back to try some more.

Service is wonderful, noon margaritas are a must have at happy hour, great outdoor patio with lots of space. The cauliflower taco and fried fish taco were killer! And try the queso, yum!

Not quite a five yet but getting closer....I returned recently and was very pleasantly surprised with great service and really good food!! It's a keeper Abilene. (Previous review: I really want to love this place for the drinks and food but some improvements need to be addressed. The meat was really greasy in the queso, the St. Croix taco was super spicy, the Smoked Brisket taco was way too dry and I would have preferred flour to corn tortillas (which I don't think is an option). The service was just not that into it which didn't help either. I'll return to give it another chance but I hope it turns out better.)

Wow! Not your typical restaurant/bar. Great ambiance and even better service. Liam and Christian made us feel welcome, at home and a bit spoiled. When you visit, ask Liam for one of his original “Speakeasy” cocktails. Delicious! (Hey, Jay, put it on the spring cocktail menu, already, will ya!!)
