First time at Lockheart but definitely not the last! The menu selections were well priced and perfectly portioned. We had caesar/taco type salads with pulled chicken that were great! The live music was excellent and in this intimate space felt like a house party. Angel, the manager and Cassie, at the bar were so friendly, attentive and worked so hard while tending to everyone's wants and needs. Excellent evening at LockHeart, thank you all!

We love lockheart- it's a great variety of different tacos and I love the price point! The lobster and tuna poke tacos are my favorite. Their chips, salsa and margarita (the Lockheart Standard) are all very yummy too. Just make a reservation before you go!
Krista
Great service, excellent vibe... just ok food. We keep going back in the hope it will improve. But there just isn't much flavor. We hope they can make some improvements, since it would be nice to have a good southwestern restaurant in town.

The food was delicious, varied and beautifully presented. We will come back, and hope to have Dea as our server - she was the BEST!

This place is outstanding! We hadn't even paid the check and we were planning our next trip back! We got the nachos with chicken to start. Absolutely the best nachos that I have ever had! My husband got the smash taco (he is still thinking about it) and a chicken bacon ranch taco. He loved them both! I got the pulled pork taco. It was beautifully put together and the flavors were to die for. We got some wings too but we will enjoy those later for the game. We absolutely loved this place! We will be back, over and over again! ❤️❤️❤️

We were in town to celebrate Christmas with a show at the old Wellesley Village Church. We are on a tight schedule, but had reservations.  We were met at the door and were promptly seated and received our drinks very quick . the food came out quickly and was fantastic. I normally would not order any hot Mexican food, but the southwestern dinner was perfect.  We easily made it to the show with plenty of time.  We will definitely return to the Lockhart restaurant again .

Great restaurant - drinks delicious and food high quality, but they need to upgrade their wireless in the restaurant. Service is very spotty.

Solid neighborhood, family-friendly restaurant. Wife and I got various tacos which we thought were good. "Good" I know is not a ringing endorsement, but it is not intended as a slight. The food was good enough to warrant a return visit if we were looking for a reliable southwestern-style meal. The cocktails we had were not very good. Between us, we had a Paloma, Spicy Margarita, and a vodka based drink with watermelon juice. All the cocktails tasted quite watered down such that it was difficult to discern the base spirit. We weren't looking for strong cocktails at all, but these were very weak. Beyond the food, the service was very good... attentive, friendly, and quick.

Well prepared and served ! Creative menu with thoughtful gluten free options. We will return soon!
The food was good as were the cocktails but it's noisy. In addition, we sat for some time at the bar, with 3 bartenders, and not all the stools were full and the restaurant not busy, before someone took our order or served us. We won't be running back.

As someone with celiac disease I was glad to see many menu options marked GF. However, when I got there I was disappointed to hear that items marked GF didn't meet the requirements for possible cross contamination, primarily because they don't have a dedicated fryer. I was able to order something but my options were very limited.

Loved the food. lived the service. loved the atmosphere. The trivia game made it a bit difficult to have a c9ncersation or even make our food order without shouting at times, but the food was quite good. Sam, our server knew the menu, and swevwd with the joyful dispoaituon i would want ro have servees represent me if it were my business. I asked for his favorite dish and ordered the same, the spiced salmon. The Nachos with Short Rib meat was phenomenal. one of the best nachos I have had. I ate thw spiced same large plate .... was outstanding. A mix of sweet and hot in the perfect proportion. The bed of perfectly cooked sweet potoatos with just a little snap. was quite impressed with how well they got these just right. I also ordered a taco thay tated like a chessburger. was quite good. I think the over all flavor overpowered the salmon. proportions were perfect, but just about 20% less of it would allow thw salmon to come through a bit more. My wife and friend had the salmon bowl with rice. My other friend had a harvest bowl with chicken. FYI thw chicken is shredded, not grilled. I think that made it feel more like chicken salad. Had church's and coffee for desert. chocolate and caramel dipping. Was good. My wife had ices cream waffle. She asked for no chocolate sauce (its warmed up hersheys - not hot fudge) and caramel. All they had was whipped cream. no nuts or other toppings gs for thw ice cream. I would return.

I hosted a private party here for my wife’s 30th birthday and the whole experience was amazing. We love Lockheart to begin with, and I was very excited to surprise her with a celebration at one of our favorite Wellesley spots.
Elyssa was very responsive through the planning process and even ordered us a special bottle of spiritless tequila specifically for us. Angel was a great bartender and the entire evening was so special thanks to their support.
We’ll definitely be returning to Lockheart whenever we find ourselves in Wellesley!

This place is great! Parking behind the restaurant is easy enough. There are two levels. Our waiter was great and attentive. Our drinks were great and the birria tacos were amazing! Will definitely be back!
