Local Yokel

When over-priced pastrami sandwiches went under (aka Goldies Deli at the Murphy/46th junction) I was curious as to what would emerge.  Sylvan Parkers were hopeful for a vibrant, casual dining hub - a central meeting spot for our burgeoning neighborhood.  We got it.  The Local Taco (I badly want to drop "the") is bright and bustling.  The service (order and cash out all in the same go) and food were fast.  

The food was decent and I think will improve.  My enchilada - vegetarian with lemon cream sauce - was good but was a little thin on "stuffing."  It was missing any real sense of black beans and lettuce completely.  We liked the guacamole - chunky and fresh with out a lot of onion and tomato.  The slice of lime on top was a nice touch.  Yancy was ho-hum on the tacos he ordered - his favorite was the tequila lime chicken one.  However, the price was right - $2.50 a taco or $3.25 an enchilada.

The patio was full and the line remained our whole dinner - a sign of early embracing by the locals.  Check out the hip tees and hats donning their logo and...

KEEP EATING OUT, NASHVILLE!
