My wife and I hit Local Cantina in Gahanna usually spring thru fall. We like to sit outside and walk the area after our meal. We didn't realize till we looked at the menu it was no longer local cantina. While we were dismayed that our items were no longer on the menu, we decided to give it a try. The decor lost some of it's charm. While we got our drinks quickly, it took almost a half hour to have our order taken. Only 2 people working at dinner time. We ordered queso for an appetizer. Had to ask for it after another 20 minutes. I can only describe the queso as some sort of powdered mixture. It reminded me of the kraft Mac and cheese when you don't mix it enough. Didn't touch it again after first try. Didn't get any better with our meals. Dry and some sort of oil or grease pooled at bottom of basket.

Read moreThey delete all their poor reviews. Went here a month ago the service was terrible and food was between bad and subpar. The waitress barely served us. They messed our order up multiple times. A friend wanted to try this place even though I advised against it because of my experience. She called with a couple of questions and then one of their employees named Gracie answered and had a huge problem with my friend asking about their menu. She was irritated and couldn't be bothered. She was extremely rude. Needless to say my friend didn't end up ordering, just from that experience on the phone. Don't waste your time or money here, there are far better places to get Mexican in the area. Just like their service, their food is...
