Great place on the Southside of downtown Lafayette. Authentic Mexican specialties with a full grill thrown in. I had tacos and ceviche and highly recommend both. Also had my share of PBR highboys. Service was very efficient and friendly. And the setting, while simple was authentic and friendly. Highly recommend!

We had not visited the local bar since it was under new ownership. They post a lot of pictures of their food and activities on social media, so we decided to try it out. The first thing to note is that this is still a smoking allowed bar. In Lafayette, there is absolutely a place for a bar that allows smoking inside. Be advised, if you go in, you will absolutely notice it as soon as you walk in the door. I only say this, because, the bar was full of regulars that the bartender knew all of their drink orders when they walked in. The crowd seemed friendly. This is the type of crowd, that walks in and places their cigarettes on the bar and in 10 minutes may smoke three or four of them. There are approximately 20 seats at the bar. 18 of them were occupied and we were the only two that were not smoking. Again, if you do not like a smoking bar, this one is a tough one for you. All of the above is not to dog bar being a smoking bar. It is just more of a warning or a heads up. Nothing seems to have changed on the inside with new ownership. It looks exactly like the old bar. In the middle of the horseshoe bar there is a stainless steel prep- type table. It would be a good location for a liquor storage area. However, it just collects random things like napkins and purses and pens and whatever. The liquor bottles are up against the wall and the beer bottles that tell you what beer they have, are around the corner. My wife ordered the tacos and I got a chicken quesadilla. She really really enjoyed the tacos. She told me they are some of the best that she has had in town. She will probably order them to go at some point in time in the future. My chicken quesadilla was chicken and cheese and the chicken was very bland. The bartender asked me about it and I pointed that out to her. She said that's why these random sauces are given with the food. There was not any salsa offered at the initial delivery of food. Again, for what it is, it is a great local bar. If you want a smoking bar with a regular crowd with food that looks really good in person and on their social media, then Martha Local Bar is a good place to go. Just be advised that if you do not like a smoking bar, this is a bar that you can't even hide that it is a smoking bar. You can smell it from outside the front door.

We ordered there today and picked up as we live only a few blocks away. My husband got the ribeye steak, a salad and baked potato. He ordered his steak med. Well. When he got his steak home, it was burned black, and he couldn't even cut through it with a steak knife! He said it was the worst steak he had ever had in his life! Baked potato was not cooked all the way through either. He did say the salad was good at least.

Worth coming to!I was hesitant to come eat here as it is a smoking place BUT it doesn't smell of smoke and when I was there no one was smoking.It has some of the best tacos in the area. Good beer. Great people. Friendly, welcoming service! They make you feel at home the moment you sit down. It's nothing fancy inside, just a bar, but what it lacks in atmosphere they more than make up for with food and service. A must try.Parking: Parking is in the back down the alley road. Tricky to get.
Owner degrades employees calling employees "special" and is rude all around!! NOT worth giving business to such hostile employers. Save your money and go somewhere else.

The Local has a good selection of American and Mexican dishes.Their beer selection was better than the traditional domestics,Parking is a bit tricky due to current construction on 4th st. There is parking in the back via the alley access.

the tenderloin was pretty good, i suppose, but the chicken taco was super dry and bland, and the fries were quite soggy.
