We had the Carne Asada Street Tacos and the Mission Burrito and both were delicious - not to mention the chips are to die for! Service was great and the atmosphere on a Friday night was lively. A local gem!

Both great food and great service. Sit at the bar and enjoy the conversation. Ask about “The Hawk.” 😀

I didn’t think it was possible to make Mexican food bland but I was wrong. The waitress we had was also a bit rude.

Had a great evening there with some of my friends. Tons of tequila to choose from, the menu items were tough to choose from. I had the queso along with a quesadilla. I could've ordered more but I was stuffed. Service, food and drink was exquisite. I even ended up buying some merch! Great looking stuff. 10/10 Will be coming back!

Overpriced food that is not as good as expected given the story behind the restaurant. Waiter was very nice and the place is clean. The Baja tacos were fine. Hot dog was $12 with no sides. Total bill was $66 with tip for 2 tacos, one regular sized hot dog, and 2 drinks. If you want tacos, there are much better, authentic, and more affordable places.

I felt like the shaved steak wasn't seasoned so unfortunately it was very bland. My first time getting food from there and very disappointed.
This was my fourth visit, and I have to say—I truly love the food here. It’s consistently fantastic. That said, tonight the service left me disappointed.
Ava was our server. We were only the second table seated in the dining room (the other being a group of four very loud women). We ordered an appetizer (nachos) and our entrées at the same time. Unfortunately, all the food came out together. As someone who works in the service industry, I know it’s standard practice for appetizers to be served first so guests can enjoy them without their main dishes getting cold. Perhaps Ava was confused, but further training could help establish that when in doubt, it’s always best to ask.
Ava checked on us once—before we even had a chance to take a bite—and my dad mentioned he would have preferred the nachos before the entrées. That comment seemed to be brushed off (or maybe it was lost in the noise from the other table). After that, Ava disappeared for the rest of the meal.
My margarita, which was excellent, sat empty for quite a while, and I would have gladly ordered another had anyone checked in. Dessert might have been tempting too, but it was never offered.
I don’t expect fine dining service here, but I do think some of the basics were missed, and with a little more attentiveness the experience could have matched the quality of the food.

Absolutely love this place. Food is amazing and the atmosphere is great here. This is a great place to eat if you have Celiac Disease (many options) They even have gluten free churros. The Baja fish tacos are incredible. Service is always top tier.

Locales Tacos and Tequila is a very cute restaurant that is a bit unassuming when you approach, however is warm and brightly decorated inside, with a nice California Mexican vibe. The Staff are all very friendly and Inviting. Food was solid, from the chips and multiple Salsas, to the Tazon Bowl, with good authentic flavors. Nice, clean flavors coming through all of the dishes - the Southwest Salad with Carnitas was a great portion, but also was refreshing and lite, a very satisfying dish. Worth a visit for Lunch or Dinner !

Awesome food. Great guacamole. California burrito is huge. Birria tcos are great too. They need to lower the price of their cheese quesadilla, its so small.

I finally made it over to try their brunch so I sat at the bar and ordered the huevos rancheros which is one of my favorite dishes...the food came out pretty quick but I didn't have any silverware to dig-in. I waited almost 10 minutes while the bartender was too busy making drinks to give me a look while my food got cold and I became increasingly frustrated. So I walked out the door 😔
