Lostacos Mexican Restaurant Southampton — Restaurant in Southampton

Such a great experience, from beginning to end! We spontaneously dropped in to Lostacos whilst on the way to football one afternoon, and the friendly staff welcomed us in. It was refreshing to see Lostacos was an authentic family run restaurant, and they each poured their heart and soul into every component - from front of house to the service, and most definitely the cooking!

We ordered the chicken tinga tacos, chicken and chorizo quesadilla and a side of mango habanero chicken wings. The food was so tasty! Authentic Mexican tastes and ingredients, and very fresh.

We enjoyed watching the waiters take the other orders to customers, deciding that next time (because we will definitely be returning!) we should try the amazing burritos. After spotting some churros, we requested two portions with the dulce de leche sauce and also two mochas. Unfortunately the coffee machine had broken, and they were disappointed to say they couldn't fulfil our order.

As we started tucking into our delicious dessert, two mochas arrived at our table. We learned that one of the owners went down the road to the burger van they also run to make us some. What fantastic service, to go above and beyond! And the icing on the cake for me, was when one of the staff members spotted I was scraping the last of the dulce de leche sauce out of the bowl, and asked if would like another pot completely unprompted.

5 stars for both the service and the food! (Which as a bonus was also very reasonably priced.) Lostacos, thank you for a wonderful, memorable experience. We can't...

If I could I would leave a 10* review. What a hidden gem of a restaurant. The most authentic Mexican food I have ever had in the UK. I lived in America for 10 years and ate Mexican food alot. I have really missed it and when ever I see somewhere making and selling Mexican food I have to go try and until today they have all been disappointing. Myself and my partner were very very happy to read the menu and order the food. Yes we ordered too much so we have a meal for tomorrow lol. The Taco's are to die for. Authentic taco bases and the filling were absolutely amazing. The burritos are enormous and I had the Mexican chopped salad which was gorgeous. My hat is off to the chef your food is amazing. The waitress was knowledgable and very very welcoming and couldn't do enough to help. Great please a must try. Yes it in the middle of a industrial park but who cares the food is great. Go try you won't be disappointed. Xx...

I love real Mexican food. Growing up in Southern California meant we would go across the border regularly for surfing, food and fun. My wife and I took a punt at Los Tacos . Luckily we did as this is a hidden treasure with authentic tasting Mexican food at a very reasonable price.

My wife and I were warmly welcomed and the food was perfect. The chef clearly has high standards and it was lovely to see him come out of the kitchen to talk to us and to see what we thought of his food - what a lovely bloke. We had margaritas followed by a burrito, fish tacos and churros. Although the restaurant is small it is cosy and lovingly decorated.

We genuinely think we were lucky to find this place. We will be back as...
