Nothing fancy, but perfect for a mixed ages family outing with kids, adults and grandparents. The margaritas were good, the tacos were good, the ambiance was pleasant, but no too fancy - very kid friendly. The service was unobtrusive but involved - in short, what's not to like? read more

This is a really nice spot in Beaufort! The drinks are STRONG and reasonable priced. The chocolate cake was diabetic level sweet but absolutely delicious! My tacos were full of meat! It was a little difficult to finish, but I pushed through! The service was great. Our service was funny and really nice. I'll be coming back for my next Beaufort trip! read more

We frequent this restaurant. My favorite was the Gullah taco, but now that we don't eat meat, I order the fish tacos, ahi tuna taco, or the avocado. Friday night, we walked through town for first Friday. This month, they had the antique car group out with some cool cars. We got lucky with a table for 2, the place was packed. Often the sauces are too much for our taste, so we ordered them to come separately. That was magical. I could taste the fish and the avocado so much better. Highly recommend. Service by our waitress was excellent. I was a little bit disappointed in my fish taco because it only has 2 pieces of fish, but richard had more. read more

Queso? Great! Nachos? Great! Tacos? Great! Fried pickles? Great! But objectively the best part of all this was the service. Everyone was incredibly friendly and our server was absolutely hilarious! My friend decided they wanted to see how many sweet teas they could drink and the server was more than happy to play along and at one point brought a backup glass of tea. The ambience was lovely, the music was light and positive and it's in the loveliest spot! read more

Food was just okay. Tortillas were thick and dry. Taco fillings didn't pack a punch for flavor. Music and overall volume level was loud. Waitress didn't give us any cutlery or napkins until we asked. Water's ran dry a few times. Food items were forgotten a few times. I had to go up to the bar to ask for napkins. Our party enjoyed the ghost pepper nachos. Pork belly taco was the most-liked item out of everyone in the group. read more

The food has been very consistent. The margaritas well, need I say more, they're also very consistent and very good. You cannot go wrong with any of them. It can be a little loud if they have someone singing or playing that night so just be cognizant of that. But hands-down definitely worth a visit, the food, the drinks and the ambience. read more

Lost Local is always my first stop when I arrive in Beaufort! I love the vibe and decor. The servers are always really nice and attentive. Every one I've had has answered questions about food and offered great recommendations on what to order. If you're going to get a taco... it has to be the Deep South Gullah. Unreal! The Pork Belly is a close second. This trip we also tried the peel 'n eat shrimp for an appetizer. Better than any seafood restaurant and honestly the best we've ever had. For dessert we ordered key lime pie.. another solid choice. Although, my absolute favorite item to order is the spicy jalapeño margarita - it definitely brings the heat. Great stop as usual! read more

Such a cute little restaurant but it was very loud and hard to hear. When we first went in we were seated at a table. We waited and waited and waited. About 10 min had passed and no one had spoken to us, we were not able to flag anyone down. It was crazy. We moved to the bar where we got amazing service ASAP. The bartender even commented on how that was a good idea. The drinks were soooooooo good. The bartender was super nice and inviting. I would go again but only if I sit at the bar so I can actually get service. read more

Were these the best tacos I've ever had? YUP. Were my eyes way bigger than my stomach, also yes. Our waiter said most people get 3, I thought for sure I'd still be hungry but OH MY GOD. These tacos were stuffed!! I had the Gullah, pork belly and fried green tomato. They were all so good but the fried green tomato was my favorite! Everything was so fresh, so hot, so yummy!! I had the black diamond marg, very good and very strong! read more

While in Beaufort, I wanted to try this place again. It's simple food that is done well! And simple is intended as a compliment! The service is great and the atmosphere fun . Their basic margarita is only $10!!!! And it's house made and delicious. Each flavor of their food somehow stands out and yet is cohesive. We really like this place. read more

By far the best Mexican in the low country. From the minute you walk in you're having a good time. The staff is great. You'll always want to order a double of any of their margaritas. Every dish we've had there was top notch. The owner Alex is usually on premise and sometimes preparing your meal. Always up for a good conversation. All around great vibe. read more

I wouldn't say this place is "tucked away" in downtown Beaufort...I think "nestled" in the middle of downtown is a better way to say it. This weekend is the Beaufort water festival and we came early to grab lunch before going to the park. Kat had lunch here yesterday and wanted to bring me so here we are. The building is quite old but clean and offers a nice vibe. We both had the same tacos, the buffalo chicken and the southern Gullah, both of which were very fresh, tasty and the flavors were very well balanced. Now, these are $6 dollar tacos we're talking about, but two is plenty making for a $12 lunch per person which isn't bad in 2024. I wasn't going to have alcohol with lunch but I will say they have a pretty wide signature cocktail menu, so we'll have to come back one evening soon. I'll give this 5/5, I really liked it. read more

Went here for dinner. Fun little place with good food. Our server was really friendly and the cocktails were good. We had the queso and salsa and both were good. Margaritas and specialty cocktails were also good. We tried the chicken taco salad and several different tacos. The pork belly and tuna tacos were very good. I didn't get pictures of the cocktails, but my favorite was the Wild Lavender. If you like mexican food, this is definitely worth a try! read more

I was a little disappointed here because I had been really looking forward to trying some of these unique tacos. Despite the ingredients in each of them sounded like they were be packed with flavor they turned out to be kind of bland. Between everyone at our table we had the buffalo chicken, Ahi tuna, pork belly, blackened fish taco, and the special which was some kind of steak that I can't full remember. The steak and fish were probably the best out of those choices. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was nice with artwork everywhere. If you go here look for the tiny door along the floor on the way to the restrooms, we got a kick out of that. read more

They consistently do the best platter of nachos ever anywhere!! The tacos are great. The atmosphere is welcoming and their iced tea is fabulous. read more

Stopped in for a couple of tacos. I tried the grilled fish and the pork tacos. First off I'll say the pork taco had nice chunks of pork that really had a great pork taste there! The fish tacos also had chunks of fish so, protein wise, I was set. I was a little let down by the amount of green stuff on top of the corn tortilla, piled high and the protein on top of that. Made it a bit difficult to eat without everything falling to pieces. I learned, too late, to just remove about 50% of the greens and put the protein back in to make a more manageable taco to hold and eat. All in all it was good and would say it was a very fair price for two good tacos. read more

Was here again today for lunch. Food and service was good again! And the best part...the floors look better and the back door looks fine. I think the back door has been painted black (I think it was white before, not positive) but no longer looks dirty. I recommend giving this place a try if you're in the area. read more

We loved this place. Stopped by for lunch. My margarita was delicious . My wife got the pork belly taco . I got the blackened shrimp and fried chicken taco.

Wow -- I travel alot and this little place ranks at the top. Conveniently located on popular touristy Bay Street in historic Beaufort, I was hoping for something more "local" -- this is it! Great food, service & ambiance. My shrimp and sushi tacos had verty tasty creamy sauces with fantastic fillings of avocado & crab. The craft beer list is huge and my server JEFF had all the right suggestions when I described needing something refreshingly tangy. (It was hot outside). Really wanted a Midnite Express Martini, but went with Raspberry Donut Cheesecake -- did NOT need calories, but had not had dessert out all summer! In retrospect they would have been good together. read more

Went here on Night on the Town for December. It was a madhouse but understandable with how busy Night on the Town is in December. We were quoted an hour wait but it was probably close to 40 or 45 minutes. Since it was extremely busy, it was very loud and hard to really carry on a conversation with your friends. I would say this is more of a bar that also serves food. I ordered the queso blanco dip for an appetizer and was a bit disappointed. I wouldn't order it again. My friends and I were satisfied with the tacos we ordered. Definitely try the Island Shrimp taco. It was delicious. I think it's great the restaurant is adventurous in their taco recipes, so I tried the fried green tomato taco. I was not a fan but my friend loved it. I'd recommend trying this place at least once. Oh, I forgot to mention that they didn't pass out menus but instead have a QR code on the table for the menu. read more

We were in town for a marine graduation and decided to come here for dinner. The place didn't have seating options for parties larger then 4 so we had to sit on separate tables. We ordered the nachos to share without any additions but they brought them out with beef added, (which was additional charge too) and I'm a vegetarian so I couldn't eat them. Our family got a variety of tacos (I didn't get pictures of everything) and everyone said the food was okay. The service was a little slow too. I was surprised by all the good reviews and but I would probably never come here again. read more

Lost Local is a great little spot in downtown Beaufort. My husband had a crack fries as his entire meal and he was in heaven. The boom boom shrimp was OK. The menu said that it would be tossed in the boom boom sauce but it was actually served on the side. Now to my tacos. My Carnitas taco was excellent! I opted to have no lettuce on mine. I would definitely get it again! My island shrimp taco I would not order again. I couldn't pinpoint what I didn't like about it. It might have been the Crema. I didn't taste the jalapeño as the menu mentioned. I am sure that some people would love it. It just wasn't my favorite. Also, there was a heavy portion of slaw. Although we did not have drinks this evening the bar looked exceptional! I've had a few friends come in and say that they have excellent drinks. We will return and try some drinks and other tacos! read more

We have lived in the Beaufort area for almost 2 years. Surprisingly enough, we have not tried lost local as of yet. Until today... Sat at the bar, service was fantastic. Ordered a couple of blackened, fish tacos, A skinny margarita, and a couple (actually, three) of northern California IPAs. Everything was very tasty, and we will be excited to come back for sure. Well worth the trip, highly recommend. read more
