   If I could give six stars, I would. This is hands down my favourite restaurant in Southampton. I grew up eating mexican food in Texas, and this is the only thing I've found since moving to the UK that compares! Alex is so passionate and hospitable, he always makes us feel welcome and at home. The food is incredible and clearly prepared with so much love. I recommend this restaurant to all of my friends and would recommend to anyone wanting to find good, authentic mexican food! And as a plus, you get a very sweet and genuine chef!!

   This is the most authentic mexican food in Southampton. Absolutely delicious! We ordered fish tacos, steak and cheese tacos, carnitas tacos and the mango and habanero chicken wings. All dishes were mouthwatering. Really decent portion sizes, all fresh and you can tell how much love and effort if put into the food. Had a lovely chat with with the chef, so humble and friendly. Would highly recommend!

   Fantastic place serving authentic Mexican food! The owner is full of energy and gave us such a warm welcome. You could really tell he was passionate about the dishes and excited to share his knowledge. He gave us lots of recommendations, all of which we thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely one of my new favourite places in Southampton — I’ll absolutely be coming back. Thank you for the amazing experience!

   Didn’t think we could find great, authentic Mexican food in England - was certainly proven wrong. This place is a gem. 10/10 will be coming again. The owner was also very friendly and welcoming.

   We went in for food early on a Friday evening, and were greeted by a really friendly guy. We laughed and joked with him and his young daughter, as we ordered drinks and food. I asked questions about the different types of pork and how it was cooked, he answered everything really well so we understood. The food was really great, fresh and pretty quick. We were the only ones in but more customers followed and they all seemed to be treated with the same friendliness that we had. It felt like we’d been invited into someone’s home and we relaxed quickly. Price wise - really not expensive - it would be a lot more in town.

   The most authentic and personal experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The main man was the server and the chef and he made us feel so welcome, even remembering a previous visit. An amazing price for top quality food, I couldn’t recommend Lostacos more.

   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 wait to return!

   Delivery literally fell out of the bag as it was handed to me falling onto my floor splashing all up the walls. Food looked like something out of a horror scene and was fit for only the dustbin. To be fair the delivery driver must have informed the store owner of the condition of the delivery and the store owner called me to offer to put it right. However, after 30 minutes scrubbing floors and walls I strangely wasn't hungry anymore. An absolute waste of time, money and effort.
