Reviews for Local's Tacos and Tequila in Sterling, VA

This is our go-to casual date night place. They have a great assortment of interesting "street" tacos. They also have Mexican... staples like burritos and fajitas. I haven't had a bad or even mediocre meal there. The margaritas are also varied and prettygood, though a little expensive for the area given their size. Still, not so expensive that it keeps me from having two orthree! The service also hasn't been a problem at all, though YMMV. Overall, this has been a great addition to the area. Read more

Positive: The food was fresh and the service workers were kind. Quality food and taste. The birria meat was moist, and... everything was seasoned well. Negative: Our waiter forgot about us for a while, and we needed refills. We had to flag down adifferent waitress for drinks (positive: she was happy to help even though we weren't in our section!) The churros were overcooked. Overall taste: Very good. 8/10 Read more

Just ate here. The drinks were pretty good and our waiter was nice. However, the website says half of margaritas which a sign on... the outside confirms, as well as 3 dollar tacos. We came here specifically because we knee about this deal on Tuesdays. The menudoes not specify which margaritas are half off or which tacos are 3 dollars. Our waiter never mentioned the special. We orderedthe margaritas and taco platters. I understand the platters not adhering to the special price, but it would have been nice to benotified beforehand. And we were charged full price for all margaritas listed all under the same margarita section. Apparentlyonly the lime margaritas are half off. We were informed of this as were were paying only because we asked. I also understand itwas pretty busy, but honestly the service in the beginning was very slow. Will not eat here again. Read more

Ordered a 3 taco bundle - spicy shrimp, grilled lime shrimp, and grilled tilapia - plus rice and black beans for $19.75. The... best one was the spicy shrimp! I finished it too quick before realizing that I wanted to take a pic of the order. Next would bethe lime shrimp (right) and then the grilled tilapia (left). These two had the same toppings, so just different protein. I foundthe tilapia to be a bit flavorless and bland, but the lime shrimp was adequate. The spicy shrimp taco had a green sauce drizzlethat tasted fine, but the color was really funky-looking. The best way to describe it would be a shade of green-blue that won'tbe found in the natural world. But, hey, it tasted just fine. I think next time I'll just order 3 of the spicy shrimp tacos,like they were that much better than the other two! Read more

We've ordered from this restaurant numerous times and have had no complaints. However, tonight the nachos were below par. No... guacamole. No sour cream. And some weird blue green concoction from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The nachos used to besmothered with greatness and now it's just disappointment and sadness. Read more

The tacos and burritos here are great. Take out drinks is a nice option. Takeout Fajitas were disappointing. Only provided 4... street taco tortillas so nowhere near enough nor big enough to take advantage of the fajita toppings like lettuce, cheese,peppers, onions. The guac that came with my order was not edible, very brown color to it, not fresh. Read more

Best Mexican restaurant I have been to in Northern VA! The food is outstanding - very fresh and flavorful. The chili cucumber... margarita is made with fresh ingredients and is the perfect combination of refreshing and spicy. The flautas some of best I havehad as well, not over cooked and super crunchy.

The tacos and fajitas had a lot of flavor. My wife had the fajitas and said the chicken was good but the steak was better. We... also had the Choco Taco for dessert and it was great. Soft chocolate taco with chocolate ice cream, whipped cream, Caramel andsprinkles. Only down side is that you needed to pay for the chips and Salsa. Overall good food and good service. Read more
