Review by Bert Carter

September 30, 2024

The Local is a must-visit for anyone in Abilene! 🌮 The birria tacos and sizzling fajitas for two were bursting with flavor. The cozy vibe and live music made for a perfect evening out. Friendly staff and fresh chips & salsa capped off a delightful experience!
