and

The Local Taco – Brentwood
146 Pewitt Drive

The Local Taco is celebrating its 10 year anniversary this month, and in celebration, has returned to its roots – all 10 original tacos are back! I had a chance to try out ‘The Total Local’ package earlier this month, and let me tell you, it will not disappoint! I know I’m a little late in telling you about it, but never fear, it will be offered all month, so you still have plenty of time to take advantage of the deal.

“The Total Local” includes all 10 of the original tacos for just $30. Taco varieties include: Nashville hot chicken with poblano cream sauce, slaw and pickles; spicy shrimp with Boom Boom sauce and jalapeno slaw; fried fish with jalapeno tartar and pickled jalapenos; tequila lime chicken with verde sauce, lettuce and tomatoes; local BBQ with jalapeno slaw and house BBQ sauce; carnitas with chopped onion and cilantro on corn tortilla; Korean BBQ with seared sesame slaw and green onion; steak with pico de gallo and horseradish crema; and portabella mushroom with goat cheese, zucchini slaw and crispy fried onions.
