    About Central Taco and Tequila
     
    Central delivers the food, drink and fun of Mexico with a hip vibe.
     
    The warmth of string lights atop the reclaimed wood bar, sturdy tables crafted by local Amish carpenters, and custom murals create an inviting atmosphere to sample all that Central has to offer. House-made salsas and guacamoles, burritos, salads, sides, and tons of tacos sold by the pair serve up a feast of Mexican flavors. With more than 100 agave-based spirits, take a flight filled with mezcal or treat yourself to our extensive margarita selection – all made with freshly squeezed juices and handcrafted by our talented staff.
