Fantastic food! Live music! Mind Play playing this evening! Fantastic band! Our favorite restaurant!
We absolutely love Los Locals! The best Mexican cuisine around! The service is always happy and welcoming too!
Our family that we visited in Panama City Beach recommended this restaurant for dinner after a day at the beach. My husband and I are from New Mexico, and thus are picky about Mexican food. Previously, we have been consistently disappointed in Mexican food in Florida. However, I was NOT disappointed in this meal! Food and drink: We started with the guacamole appetizer. The guacamole was freshly made to order and served with fresh warm chips. We had margaritas, and they were also just right. For our main course my sister-in-law and I had the queso birria taco plate. My husband had the birria plate, and my brother had the nacho plate. My sister-in-law and I thought our plates were outstanding. My husband's also said his plate was delicious and my brother really liked his nachos. Service: Every person we interacted with made us feel welcome and valued. They patiently explained the different menu items, and once we were seated on the patio they checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. The bartender brought our margaritas out right away, and the owner visited with us and even brought us some more cilantro. Entertainment: To make our dinner even better, as we were finishing up, a fun band started playing. They played a varied selection of music and took requests. If you are on vacation (or a local) and want a good meal and good time, I wholeheartedly recommend Los Locals
Great Food. Simple and flavorful, the way it should be. Recomiendo encarecidamente este pequeño y lindo lugar.
Ordered take out tonight. Great customer service and menu knowledge by the person who took my order. The order was prepared exactly how we ordered. The food was fresh and hot! The Carnitas wet burrito, Baja shrimp taco, Queso dip, chicken street taco, and asada fries were great! The food was priced right, portion Food sizes were good, and the chips were tasty! Great work tonight! Thanks
Enjoyed a casual dinner at Los Locals with neighbors. Three ordered the wet burrito and one the beef and cheese quesadilla. The wet burrito is HUGE and could easily serve two. Great flavors. The beef and cheese quesadilla was good but nothing special. Food was served as it came from the kitchen (so not everyone was served together). Service was good and attentive thru out the visit.
We are so happy to finally have this place open. The food is house made and super fresh! Very pleasantly surprised how delicious it was! I don't think they expected so much business right away, so be patient. It's worth the wait and the outdoor seating and live music makes it enjoyable.
We're so excited Los Locals is finally open! The food was well worth the wait and we can't wait to come back and try more! Service was wonderful and everyone was very nice. The atmosphere is super cool and filled with amazing artwork.
