The stretch of road that runs through downtown is covered with many different kinds of restaurants, bars, and local businesses. Located at 315 South Limestone sits The Local Taco.
I love how they state what they are about: “Embracing the simple pleasures of Tex-Mex cuisine with the traditions & character of Southern food culture.”
A lot of the ingredients are local, which is a huge plus in my book. Currently, The Local Taco has six locations; located in Kentucky, Tennessee, and South Carolina, and two opening up in Alabama. Also, on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 3pm, they offer a brunch along with $1 mimosas and $3 Bloody Marys. If you think tacos are good for lunch and dinner, just wait until you bite into one of the ones that are exclusively available during brunch.
I present to you… Chicken Bacon Waffle tacos served with agave nectar and your choice of two sides (which I got two orders of fried potatoes). If you order the Kentucky brunch, you actually get your choice of two tacos and sides. I just ordered two of the same thing, because the choice was clear… C-H-I-C-K-E-N B-A-C-O-N W-A-F-F-L-E T-A-C-O! How could I resist?
If you ask me, I think it’s pretty genius that they took such an iconic dish, such as chicken and waffles and combined it with another dish that people love, tacos.
They also offer catering, so do you know what that means? You can have your wedding catered or whatever event of your choosing. If you do, be sure to send me an invitation, so I can eat some tacos with you.
Thanks so much.
Now that looks amazing! If I am ever in Fayette I will definitely have to stop their for brunch!
You should!! It’s really delicious! You won’t regret it! I live in Lexington. Fayette just refers to the county the city is in 🙂
Okay WHAT?! This is genius. I need to go here. Now added to my bucket list. Thank you!
They were so yummy that I definitely could’ve eaten way more than the two I got hahah!! Plus, a lot of ingredients are local!
Wow! Those chicken waffle tacos look amazing! And how can you not go to a place with $1 mimosas? Seems like a most fabulous place to dine. — Amy @ http://thegiftedgabber.com/
They are so delicious!! I plan on going back soon with my husband!! They also use local ingredients, which is a huge plus!!
I think I might be one of the few people who don’t like chicken and waffles. The Local Taco isn’t here in our state but I’d love to eat there if I’m ever in one of those 4 states.
🙁 Chicken and waffles is soooo good!! They also have other tacos (but not traditional tacos) during lunch/dinner!!
I have never had chicken and waffles. I think it must be a southern thing because they are pretty much non existent up here in Boston.
You are missing out!! Yep, it’s southern. It’s soul food. If you ever get a chance, try it! It may seem a little weird to combine chicken, waffles, and syrup, but it is soooo delicious!
That food looks yummy!
It was sooo good! I totally wanted to order more! Two wasn’t enough!
Looks amazing! These are all my favourite foods wrapped up in one!

It was so good!! I want to go back this weekend!
These sound so interesting! And exactly like something my husband would order 🙂
It was so yummy. Chicken and waffles is one of my faves!!
That does sound quite tasty. I’ve never been one to turn down chicken, bacon, or waffles.
Me either 🙂 It is even better when you combine all three together!
I do not think we have a taco place like that in my area, so I envy you! Would love to try the Chicken Bacon Waffle tacos! Sounds so yummy!
It was sooo good! I looked online at the other Local Tacos, and I think the location where I live is the only one that has the chicken bacon waffle tacos! (I’m not sure since I haven’t been to the others, but there are some that don’t even offer brunch)
Okay, so I’ve made yet another mistake to click on one of your posts because now, I want nothing more than to indulge in one of these waffle tacos! LOL … Those look stupid good. I live in NYC, so I can’t visit a Local Taco anytime soon, but perhaps I can figure out how to replicate this ridiculous creation. Haha. Thanks for sharing!
It was so good! Two wasn’t nearly enough!! I’m sure you could make it yourself… or you can make yourself a full-sized portion. Could be fun? 😉 Saul Good (just a restaurant here in Lexington) has the best chicken and waffles that I’ve had so far (no tacos with theirs though!) https://www.instagram.com/p/9kNGa4y9EV
GENIUS! You’re making me drool!
I wish I could have some right now!
My son would really love this! What a fun twist on the traditional.
It was so yummy!! I plan on going back again and again and again hahah!
Oh man these looks delicious, my husband would go nuts over these!
I’m taking my husband there, since he wasn’t able to go with me when I went!
I am dying over here! Wow…this looks so goooood!
It was good!! When I found out about them, I just knew I had to try them, since chicken and waffles is one of my faves!
Oh wow! For the first time I wish we were driving to Williamsburg! I could stop by!
If you are ever in Kentucky, you should!! I’m not sure where Williamsburg is?? I think when I looked it up, it’s about 2.5 hours away from Lexington!
That looks like an awesome menu with all the flavors I love!
I’m just sad they only have it on the weekends during brunch… but they have plenty of other tasty ones for lunch and dinner!
I love these tacos! I want to make something like this over the weekend.
I think it would be fun to make your own!
Those look so interesting, but I’d LOVE to try them!! I wish they had a location in Texas!
They are so delicious!! I think you would love them!!
Oh My that looks so good. I do enjoy tacos especially if I’m not cooking them.
They also have some pretty good tacos during lunch/dinner… not the “traditional” ones that one would think!! Pretty creative ones 🙂
that looks fantastic. Great comfort food while still being tasty and different.
I love comfort food, especially chicken and waffles!!
It looks delicious! I do love tacos and it is great twist on the classic using waffles. I like the sound of agave nectar too!
It’s such a great combination. Usually with chicken and waffles, you use syrup, but I’m guessing that would’ve made the tacos soggy… Whether it is syrup or agave nectar, it’s a must to make the dish complete!
That is an interesting combination. I didn’t even know chicken and waffles was a thing until I moved to Ohio. People think it’s crazy I haven’t tried them.
It’s such a great dish… one of my favorites!! It’s more of a Southern thing! We have so many restaurants with it on the menu!
Very interesting combo! I have heard of chicken and waffles, but never as a taco with added bacon. Will have to give this a try at home!
It was delicious. I think it would be fun to make them at home!
Oh my word, you had me at bacon taco. I need that in my life ASAP!
It was so amazing… I’m going back this weekend for sure!
This just seems wrong having waffles in a taco! I think it’s probably one of those things you just gotta try to appreciate.
Definitely not wrong haha 🙂 This isn’t your traditional taco place. It’s more of a mix with Southern food and Tex Mex. Plus, a lot of the ingredients are local. They have other tacos like smoked brisket, tequila lime chicken, buffalo chicken, local BBQ, etc.
This looks like such a fun place to visit.
It is so delicious!! I’m taking my husband this weekend!
This looks yummy!! Just by the look of the food, I would so visit that place just to eat lol…
Come to the South 🙂 You won’t regret it!
WOW. I mean, I like chicken, but I like bacon, waffles, and tacos a LOT. I am always hesitant to try foods that are weirdly mixed together like this, but they always turn out to be SO GOOD!
Chicken and waffles is such an iconic dish here in the South. It’s amazing!! If you ever get the chance to try them, do it! (P.S. Don’t forget the syrup!)
Chicken and waffles is one of my fave dishes. I usually get it for dinner at another one of my fave restaurants!!
OH my goodness! I wish this was close to me…I could definitely go for something like this right about now. It sounds amazing 🙂
It’s so good that I want to eat it every weekend!
You had me at mimosas, bloody mary, and chicken and waffle tacos! This looks like a great restaurant.
I love it. It’s right downtown too, and it’s in a great location too 🙂
Oh my goodness, this looks amazing! Seriously. I need to find my way there one day!
You can always visit! You won’t regret it 😉
Wow, that looks amazingly delicious! I could also go for one of those Bloody Mary’s, delish! I think Long Island needs to add The Local Taco, yum!
Right now, it’s in the South, but maybe it will eventually expand to the North one day! Or you can always come down here 🙂
