It's been a few years since I visited Locals Taco & Tequila. The last time I visited - I ate dinner…read morein - AND the restaurant was located at the other end of the shopping center/retail complex. It used to be in the space currently occupied by Velocity Wings. The business is now just to the left of Giant Food. I stopped in to get some breakfast to go. I ordered the Southwest Burrito with Chorizo. I sat at the bar and waited for my order to be prepared. The burrito was pretty good - it included scrambled eggs, black beans, potatoes - and of course Chorizo. It came with a side of some sort of salsa. I could have used with more heat - and perhaps more cheese. I'll have to inquire about hot sauce next time. I don't recommend trying to eat this in the car - to messy! Service was good. Paid with Apple Pay. #LocalsTacosAndTequila

It was really nice. I enjoyed my birra Taco. I also had a chorizo one that was a little dry to be honest with you. They came with beans and rice. The beans were black beans and they were really good. Had a Mexican sodas. They didn't seem to have beer or anything like that. Maybe I'm wrong. Either way. I look forward to going back there again and trying something else.

I thought the one taco per order might be small so we ordered a lot but actually the serving sizes for everything is huge!! Sweet soy sliced rib eye - 4/5 packed with soft yummy meat that's not overwhelmed in the sauce. So many veggies that made this a pretty refreshing taco! Beef birria ramen - 4/5 the consume broth seems to be mixed with the ramen powder since it was much more flavorful and delicious than the regular consume that comes with the birria tacos and quesadilla! Eggs were cooked nicely, fully cooked but bouncy still. Beef pieces were flavorful and slightly dry (most places are much drier in the soups) and was a super yummy combination with the noodles Beef birria quesadilla- 4/5 super packed with nice mozzarella cheese and so much meat! Heavy but so delicious. Consume is kinda watery. Guac seems fresh! Chicken birria - 3.5/5 very very yummy, meaty and cheesy! Consume same as quesadilla

The Food: I always get the tacos here, specifically the Lengua, Al Pastor and the Carne Asada. All the meats were incredibly tender and flavorful, just cooked to perfection. The toppings and salsa just add that extra level of satisfaction to your meal too. The consistency of quality here whenever I visit has always been the same, and that's why I keep coming back here. Portions are also very generous here for the price. The Service: Service was great. I've had both ordering experiences inside the restaurant and outside at their food truck and had no issues with wait times or quality. Overall, a 5/5. Would highly recommend giving this place a try if you're looking for some delicious tacos.

Food: Tried the shrimp cocktail (shrimp, avocado, tomato,…read morechili, and onion), birria sope, beef gordita, and birria tacos. Everything was flavorful and fresh. My favorites were definitely the birria tacos and the sope. Price: 3 birria tacos for $12 -- pretty fair pricing for the portion and quality. Atmosphere: Very packed, which is usually a good sign, but still nice and organized. Plenty of seating and the restaurant was decorated really well. Family-friendly atmosphere too. Service: Customer service was great and everyone was friendly and helpful. Overall: Good food, fair prices, lots of options, and a nice environment. Definitely would come back!

MANASSAS, Va. - Those are some well-stuffed tacos. Me and…read morethe missus lunched here on a Monday midday. Tons of seating inside and rooftop; we sat rooftop. Place appeared clean and not crazy loud. Staff (Amber) was pleasant and professional. Me and her each got three tacos apiece - her the vegan asada ($6), Brussels sprout ($6) and falafel tacos ($6). The falafel had a nice crunch, and the carne asada was very meat-like and tasty. The jerk chicken taco ($5.50) had a surprisingly slick kick, more than the honey habanero shrimp ($8). The chicken al pastor ($5) was perfectly decent. All 6 were well-stuffed - almost a sandwich worth in each. I was especially hungry going in and contemplated getting an appetizer; glad I didn't. This is a nice joint, and well worth seeking out if in the Manassas area.

The ambience made me feel like I was transported to El Salvador! Their steak burrito is HUGE! And so so good! It is stuffed and the price is so much better than Chipotle!

Their pickled salad that comes with the pupusas was the main event! Perfect crunch and spice WOW! The service was quick, and although they speak Spanish you can also order in English.

I'm not sure this review is fair considering this restaurant serves artisan tacos as opposed to…read morewhat many consider to be "real tacos." I came here during a visit to Fairfax and decided to see what was happening in here while visiting nearby Barnes & Noble. Nice clean spot with a bar and monitors. I came on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't crowded. I ordered the spicy mushroom, taco Bamba (skirt steak), and chicken (Peruvian). My biggest mistake was eating the spicy mushroom first. It was so hot, I could barely eat the other two. For my taste, I didn't enjoy any of the three. They just don't taste like Mexican tacos, and I guess that's the whole point. I guess I should be impressed by the variety of ingredients, but a good taco is a good taco. Sometimes a simple hamburger just beats a steak. Other diners looked happy and content, so I'm sure this place has their following. This is a strip mall with solid parking, retail stores, and other places to eat. I wouldn't call this a destination spot, with exception for the book store, Nordstrom Rack, Old Navy, and Capital Grille. The main section of the parking lot was quite full and all the stores along the mall appear to track solid business. I was hoping to sit down and eat at the bar, but it was empty with no good games on TV when I visited, so I ordered takeout, which took about 12 minutes to prepare. I wish this place the best.
