Tacos Locos in Canterbury

I went here as a second option and was so glad the other restaurant was booked up. The food was amazing. Staff were lovely. Definitely would go here again.

The staff was very friendly, the food was excellent, and the portions were really big. We were hesitant at first because it was almost completely empty on an otherwise very busy evening, and a certain chain restaurant next-door was completely packed, but decided to give it a go anyway. We were absolutely pleasantly surprised. Definitely recommended.

Well, super food, service was also very good. Wine at a very reasonable price too. We loved the atmosphere here. Would definitely return here for a meal, thank you for a super evening..

Went in for a spot of lunch and I wasn’t hungry for the rest of the day due to the portions. The chilli chicken tacos were so tasty. Service was excellent.

Came in for a birthday and had a wonderful time. Amazing service and amazing food! Thank you guys 💪🏼

Visited Canterbury for the first time with my partner and came across what appeared to be a fun wee Mexican restaurant, wasn’t ready for the experience. While the server was quite accommodating and friendly, I cannae share the same esteem for the cuisine. I’m quite familiar with authentic Mexican being from that side of the world. I can honestly say, nothing we ate was remotely authentic. Overcooked meats, and soggy tortilla chips. I’ve honestly never been to a Mexican restaurant without Horchata quite disappointed I was.

My favourite restaurant is wahaca so maybe my expectations were set too high. The food lacked flavoured. The gambas were tasteless. There were only three non-alcoholic Mexican drinks. Only redeeming quality was the server who was friendly

10/10 best mexican restaurant in Canterbury. Love the atmosphere, service, and hospitality.

Had a good meal in here with my son and have now come on a regular basis. Friendly staff especially the one served us many times name of tom i think Compliments to decent waiter. And the owner ali. Such a great person and always helpfull. Food always best.

We had a great time with the children. Delicious meal. Very good chicken and pulled pork fajitas 👍👍 Thank you for your friendly welcome!🤠🤠

Sombrero,'s and everything else underneath, lovely. This was about 10 years ago though....

I’ve been to Tacos Locos a few times and always enjoy it there. Food is tasty, plenty of nice cocktails to choose from and staff are lovely. I will definitely be back.

Absolutely banging hidden gem!!!

1st time visit though been past before. We stopped in for lunch and ordered a selection of Tapas. Became distracted by the cocktails and what was a nice visit became a great one. Wonderful attentive service and food to die for (recommend the ribs they're so good). It was a Friday lunch so quite quiet which suited. We're already planning our next visit.

I was here for the first time today, and for sure, it won't be the last. I ordered the chicken/steak/prawn fajita and chicken wings. The taste was incredible. The price was reasonable. The staff were amazing, nice, and welcoming. They check on you regularly and make sure that everything is great for you. The atmosphere is very nice. I will be back again and again 😊

We had a table booked for 1pm. For my mum's birthday. We turned up and the fella said come back in hour. We said we had booked and nothing or no-one was ready. Used to love coming here, but after this and the We was spoken to, never again. Also menu prices are not whats online

Tried burrito, beans rice beef mix and other goodies inside, very nice very nice

The restaurant was fairly accessible with my walker, I think there was a small step up. We were shown to a window seat straight away. We ordered a pitcher of passion fruit and mango margarita, a naked burrito bowl and chicken enchiladas with some wedges. Food was hot and delicious! Staff were very friendly. We also got a shot of strawberry tequila on the house with the bill. Good choice of food, brilliant choice of cocktails and reasonably priced. I would definitely go again.

I regularly visit here when I am working away in Canterbury. Everytime I have been here the service has been amazing, the drinks have been fantastic and the food has been outstanding. This time around the manager remembered my previous order from about 9-10 months ago and asked if I wanted my usual. Which was really nice. Even remembering I don't have grilled onions. Many more visits here will be had while I am working away.

Good food well worth the money 💰 been a regular customer for years

We came here today with our 4 month daughter for lunch and had a really nice time. I love the cheesey sombreros laid on the table ready to wear! We all ordered the fajitas, my partner and I had the chicken and my sister had the steak. The food came out sizzling hot and the waiter told us to let him know if we wanted anymore sour cream and gauc. My partner found his coke to not taste the best so he made the waiter aware and the waiter promptly checked the pumps and offered my partner a can of coke instead which he greatly appreciated! I will definitely be coming back here again, bonus points for giving our daughter a little stick with a llama attached! 🦙

Incredible work service and great music choices to play. The tacos and fajitas are to die for!

Recently went out here with my friends and the food was amazing. The level of customer service provided, particularly by our waiter Sam, was so lovely.

The food was lovely and the staff were really generous and kind, especially sam :)

The music was really nice, as well as the service. Our server Sam was really lovely to us and did an amazing job. The food was also excellent :))

Fantastic, highly recommended, whilst visiting the area we came here twice. First time we both had the lunch offer 12 till 4 beef burritos, superb, and great value for money. Second visit, we had chicken chimichanga and steak fahitas, again on the lunch deal 9.99 each, beautiful food, cooked great with fresh ingredients. Highly recommend

Unfortunately my order was not completed no rib ? Food over cooked. But for me this was a 1 off as usually it has always been lovely ty

Horrible dining experience. Food was bland and dry. Drinks tasted like syrup and clearly pre-made rather than fresh. Even the lemonade tasted off. Not worth the price tag on it. No authenticity at all. Staff was minimal for a Saturday evening as well - 1 bar staff, 1 waiter and 1 chef so spent nearly 2 hours in there and most of it was waiting around. Would not recommend at all.

Always amazing 👏 food, drinks and service 😍

The worst food I’ve ever had. I’m sure they microwave the food because everything is hot and overcooked but simultaneously soggy. Food was bland, stale, zero taste or seasoning. Servers sitting on their phones taking pics of each other. It must be a money laundering situation. Only possible explanation

Lovely place , great atmosphere. Always welcomed with a smile . Staff are attentive, knowledgeable and very helpful . Full menu to choose from and the endless cocktail menu will leave you giddy 🥳. Highly recommend this great restaurant

The food was really bland. Cocktail wasn't good either. But most importantly thee food tasted stale and literally had no flavour. Please don't waste your money guys.

We always come to this restaurant when visiting Canterbury and never get disappointed. Always fresh food and delicious cocktails 🙂

Best Mexican in Canterbury, The service is always good, food is great and the cocktails are such a good price. Always has a great party atmosphere in the evenings. I have been with my young children during the day as-well and the staff are always very good with them and friendly.

The food is disgusting . Plus the food isn't fresh and its not Mexican food . The place needs to be shut down ..I've eaten in excellent Mexican restaurants in the states and in London..please don't waste your money

5 Stars All Round! I recently visited Tacos Lacos in Canterbury in a quest to find a good Mexican restaurant. We a party of 6 walked in with no reservation on a busy Saturday night and where accomodated for straight away. We all ordered Mexican Cocktails, made by a Mexican Mixologist! Alan's Creative Cocktails are a must have! The Food was excellent too! I had Steak Fajitas which was served on a Sizzling Skillet and very tasty. The Staff where amazing and couldnt do enough for you. Ali the manager was a great host and ran a good show. Will deffinatley be back soon!

We always use this restaurant when visiting Canterbury for theatre shows/shopping, but unfortunately, this will be our last visit. We were a table of 5. My starter was meant to be duck mini chimichanga seasoned with orange, but they tasted and looked like frozen Chinese duck spring rolls from Iceland My main course was a mixed Tiger king prawn fajitas, this included 4 small Tiger king prawns that was barely enough for one fajita and a huge amount of chicken. Now I would of been content if the chicken was cooked like it use to be fresh with fresh onions and peppers, the only way I can describe it was a pile of over cooked tough chicken with a small amount of over cooked onions and peppers. When I talk about overcooked, I mean I was embarrassed that we had chosen to take my inlaws for there 54 year anniversary. We are so disappointed they have gone down this slippery slope and will sadly not return. You may ask why we never complained when we were there. We just ate it and tried not to ruin what was a special day.

Considering how long Tacos Locos has been on the high street, I would have thought it would have maintained its tasty food and delicious drinks that I had many years ago. Instead, the food was quite bland, the cocktails weren't mixed well, and the service amounted to four people standing behind the bar on their phones, only occasionally checking in on tables in a half hearted way.

Burgers beautiful as always, same with the burrito, will order again thank you

Tacos Locos es un lugar increíble con los mejores platos mexicanos. Realmente exquisito todo y los anfitriones son de primera. En Canterbury no te podes perder este lugar.

Excellent! Environment, Food and Cistomer Service!

We came here for dinner and everything was great. Food, drinks and service were very good. Good playlist for fun as well.

Best place to eat in Canterbury on a regular basis. Don’t bother with fast food, Eat Here! Its delicious.

Booked a table late in the afternoon for dinner on a Saturday night , had some cocktails and I had the enchiladas absolutely delicious and decent Portion sizes

We popped in for dinner before a theatre show and they were accommodating when I told them we were under a time limit. Had fajitas, pork steaks, chicken burger and enchilada and they were all very nice. The cocktails looked good but didn’t have time to sample them sadly. Maybe next time

We went here for my daughters 18th birthday party there were 11 of us. We were having a nice time ordered drinks which cocktails is there main thing they only have expensive little 330ml bottles of beer which was gone with 4 mouthfuls. I was gonna go get a drink from the pub directly opposite but didn't. We ordered starters they came but we waited an hour for our mains but before we got that far 15 or more guys turned up and came in who had clearly been out enjoying themselves entered the restaurant and ruined our night they were shouting swearing and overpowering the whole restaurant. Thankfully they went before us and we got to cut my daughters cake we had made for her and we were given a free shot on the house as they tried to make it up to us because they knew we were unhappy. The food was good though. Although my wraps could have done with not being kids pack lunch small wraps and full sized ones had to eat most of the sizzler with no wraps as just wasn't enough. My wife's been here 3 or 4 times in the past and had a good eve but sadly just the wrong time for us. It was expensive I thought for what it was.

My company were here for about 3 hours for our Christmas party. The drinks were very good, the food was amazing, and the service was quite frankly second to none. I would definitely recommend visiting.

Amazing service and amazing food! Would definitely recommend and return!

Absolutely fabulous , food was great, service was great especially the gorgeous waitress's .... Thanks for going out for the milk for my coffee. A brilliant experience so shall be returning soon.

The food was so. BAD. Laughably so. Ordered the Mexican Mayhem platter to share - the "buffalo" wings had no sauce, and both the squid and buffolo wings were massively overcooked and tasted of nothing. The quesadilla was a floppy wrap with a tiny bit of cheese and about 2 bits of pepper. The salsa and cheese topped bread was just pizza bread. It was just tomato paste and melted cheese. The bread was both over and under cooked somehow? We also got the prawns - massively overcooked, the plate was covered in oil and grease and had no flavour. It was all stuff that I could make for myself at home and be sorry that I had done so. What a waste of money.

Overall a good place in a busy town. Food coming out quick but would require more flavours. The service was good but bit pricey.

Cocktails and as amazing great value food was sub par cold rice and burger and tried to double charge us on all drinks apart from that was a good night I hit

Loved the chimichanga! Very polite and Happy staff. Super quick service.

Had a great night out at Tacos Locos with family and friends. Staff are lovely. Great food. Great music and great cocktails. This has to be my most favourite restaurant for a good night out

My partner and I were looking for place to eat dinner, as we both like Mexican food we have made decisions to try Tacos Locos. We have visited on Sunday evening, pretty quite, not many customers. Stuff was friendly but didn’t know what they had available at that moment, the food was ok - we had pork chimichangas and chicken burrito followed with corona and sol. Later on my partner was craving some desert, however they had only 3 positions available, so he decided to order double espresso and this was the time when disappointment started. We have been served double espresso made of instant coffee, we would completely understand if they would informed us that coffee machine is closed - was late evening or they ran out of coffee, instead they were trying to fool us - I have politely asked for the espresso to be re made and the supervisor started preparing instant coffee espresso again within coffee machine.

It was so late that I ended up picking it up from the restaurant myself. So once I ate it the food was pretty cold.

We've been coming here for 5 years. And we've always had a memorable time- the staff, food and cocktails are special. If you're in Canterbury- Book and visit! Or just drop in- you will be met with a warm welcome and fantastic food.

Went to this place before going around Westgate. The ambience is nice, friendly staff. Ordered the tacos as a starter it was average, I would say, could have put more jalapeños but the portion was alright. Then, for my mains, I had the burritos with beef balbacoa. It was ok, I guess, I enjoyed it. Their JD ribs was nice just needed a little bit more sauce, portions were great. I ordered a rum añeĵo which was recommended by the waiter and my daughter had a jungle juice, we both like it, so I guess cocktails are their highlights.

My wife and me always come here whenever we visit Canterbury. They're always very welcoming, the food is always excellent and the service is always good. Would recommend to everyone.

Early delivery which I was happy with as I was starving! Food was nice and hot, only thing I’d say is please add what things come with the meal, got 2 burgers and also bought 2 chips separately as it did not state chips came with the burger, could of saved myself some money, other then that perfect!

Great atmosphere, lovely welcoming staff. Good food and variety of drinks available. Good value for money. Vibrant , good for going with friends for a night out .

Went with a friend for a quick dinner before the theatre; planning to have a drink later on so we asked the very nice waitress for water with our meal. A minute later, another waitress came over “to check” we only wanted water, and launched an unsolicited, deeply irritating conversation about where we were from, were we mother and daughter - very awkward, we’re the same age - or were we sisters; again, ridiculous, we’re not remotely alike, so we ordered a couple of drinks just to get rid of her (more fool us) which they neglected to add to our bill (more fool them). We paid for the drinks when it was pointed out to us as we were leaving, but as we’d hardly touched the drinks and hadn’t wanted them in the first place, they could’ve been a bit nicer about it. Food was okay, nothing special, and with so many other places to choose from in the town, I wouldn’t go again.

Lovely food and great location, we had lunch and now can't wait to go back for dinner

We had jalepino poppers and quesadillas.. both of them were really nice.. Recommend this place if you're visiting Canterbury.

Was a nice meal and decent value. Loads of cool cocktails and options for pitchers if you are a big group. We'll worth a visit

Whenever I am visiting Canterbury I will always make a point of going here atleast once each trip. Everytime I have been the food has been amazing, served promptly and tasting fantastic. Whenever something additional was needed (tortillas and jalapenos) they arrived within a minute. I have taken a number of people here and they all love the food and hospitality of the amazing staff. Can't wait to return for a few more cervezas and tequilas.

Heard so many good things about this place. So to say I was very unimpressed is an understatement! Came here for a birthday meal. Pre booked as lots of us so the knew it was going to be a busy night. Waited 35 minutes before our drinks and starter order was taken. Waited another 20 minutes before we got the drinks and starters came out later than that . Chicken was tasteless and very very dry. Waited an hour and 40 mins to get the mains. My food was very bland and the chicken is pre packed frozen cubes microwaved rice and a sad side salad I took a few bites and sent it back it was disappointing and disgusting. 90% of the food that was served wasn’t ok. Staff don’t care! I watch the kids nachos sit in the kitchen side for 20 mins before being microwaved. None of the food is freshly made so I don’t know why it took so long. The drinks are ok. Wasted time and money. If you want decent Mexican food keep walking down the road. Truly is get what u pay for and even then it’s overpriced. Painful evening. I went and got food on the way home as I was starving. Needs better staff and actual chef who knows how to cook not just heat everything in a microwave

Best place to eat tacos!!! Thank you for wonderful experience! Must try restaurant.

Always brilliant service and delicious foid

Great venue and the staff were attentive all night. Nothing was to much to ask and always made sure we were ok.

The restaurant was fairly accessible with my walker, I think there was a small step up. We were shown to a window seat straight away. We ordered a pitcher of passion fruit and mango margarita, a naked burrito bowl and chicken enchiladas with some wedges. Food was hot and delicious! Staff were very friendly. We also got a shot of strawberry tequila on the house with the bill. Good choice of food, brilliant choice of cocktails and reasonably priced. I would definitely go again.

The place is great, the food is good, and the staff is friendly and attentive.

Great service from Tom very friendly and made us feel very welcomed. I would really recommend dining at Tacos Locos

We got fajitas as a take away and it was fresh and amazing! The staff was also so freindly. Will def be back

Everything is simply great, I love the food and service. You should go, I recomend it so much

Los tacos más locos que comí en mi vida 🫡🫡🫡

Waiter staff were so friedly. Amazing bar special cocktails made by Alan. 😀 nothing was a bother. Thankyou.

Stopping over in Canterbury for dinner to break up a long drive. We found this place and was really inviting. The staff were really friendly, there was a nice quirky atmosphere and the food was great! Could not fault this, would definitely go again next time we are nearby!

My dear fellow diners, I must regrettably inform you that my recent experience at Tacos Locos Canterbury was nothing short of disheartening. It pains me to witness the squandering of hard-earned money on decor, when it is clear that the culinary expertise is sorely lacking. Our shared platter, priced at a hefty £20.00, was a regrettable assortment of deep-fried calamities, including a cheese-laden bread, which I struggle to identify. The so-called "squid" resembled a mysterious creature from the depths, leaving much to be desired. To exacerbate matters, the potato skins, scarcely larger than a teaspoon, were accompanied by a minuscule portion of chili and chicken wings that had clearly endured a merciless microwaving. The flatbread, which one would expect to be freshly prepared, appeared suspiciously reminiscent of a store-bought variety, with a lone fragment of pepper gracing its lackluster surface. In a desperate attempt to salvage the meal, I opted for the barbecue option, as it held a glimmer of hope. Alas, I was met with the telltale ping of a microwave, followed by the arrival of a pitiful heap of bones drowning in a sickly sauce. As for the salad, it bore the unmistakable marks of having languished since the very founding of Mexico itself, clinging to the plate in a spongy, unappetizing mess. Needless to say, we promptly settled our bill and departed, with no intention of returning. Thankfully, the fortuitous presence of a nearby Five Guys provided solace, allowing us to savor a truly satisfying culinary experience.

Poor quality food, poorly cooked and poorly presented. Would not recommend, would not go back. If you want a good Mexican restaurant In Canterbury go to Cafe Des Amis just up the road instead.

Amazing food...... Service with a smile. Definitely be returning

Greatest Mexican food this side of the Atlantic! I’ll put it up against any Mexican Restaurant in Southern California! The service is superb! The food is always fresh and vibrant!

Lovely mexican restaurant with very tasty foods. Great vegetarian options as well and staff were excellent! Will be visiting again when back in town :).

Not Mexican food. Atrocious margaritas. Waitress could not for the life of her take the entirety of our order (a shared appetizer, four mains and four drinks) properly and would come back repeatedly to confirm it. Waited over an hour for food to arrive, were given 'complimentary' ice cream for our 7yo for the wait. Meanwhile waitress sitting outside on her phone smoking... £160 later, will absolutely not return. If at least the drinks were decent, the food would have been excusable, but this place is abysmal.

Catered well for a large group. Lots of food and tasty as well

We enjoyed a lovely meal, great choice for vegetarians and really friendly service. We were welcomed like old friends by the manager, who offered us a free drink on our return visit. Would definitely return.

Staff very welcoming and friendly service. Food was really good, would recommend the ribs, meat just fell off the bone. Good value for money

I was called up by the restaurant who told me the driver was outside and then they hung up before I could even tell them that there was nobody there. I had to call them back and they were adamant a driver was there. I had to wait outside in the cold for fifteen minutes before someone finally arrived with my food! Food was thankfully still warm and tasted very good. Shame the delivery was so unreliable.

The vegetable fajitas were swimming in oil which went all over my other food and made the vegetables very wet and not very nice to eat. Guacamole was bland. Potato skins were ok.

Very good food and nice staff! The atmosphere at Tacos Locos is friendly and welcoming, the staff there are helpful and fun to interact with. The place is clean and pleasant to dine in. We enjoyed our food greatly in a relaxed atmosphere. Went there on Sunday for lunch and they welcomed us and our dog with open arms. There were 6 of us and we ordered starters, main dishes and lots of drinks, everything was delicious and fresh and the main dishes portions were generous. Hope to go back there many times 🤤😍🌮🌯

Muy amables y muy rica la comida.

What a lovely Mexican restaurant. The food was amazing and so was the service. Mario at the bar makes the most wonderful cocktails and Thomas the manager was chatty, fun and extremely entertaining and knowledgeable. We had a fabulous time and We’ll definitely go back.

Best enchiladas I've ever eaten, and mean margaritas!! Vibrant atmosphere and extremely friendly and attentive staff. Only dropped a star because they don't serve chilli con carne!

I have visited twice now, both times as part of a lads' day out, ideal for our needs,

Tasty food and nice service. Super quiet which was a little disconcerting at times but might have been down to train strikes

Food was cold driver was at the wrong place and took another 20 minutes to get to me food was cold and soggy! Had to throw most of my order away. Just eat shocking customer service and not helpful then ignored! Just eat DO BETTER!!

Esta muy rico y el personal muy buenas personas todos fuimos unos amigos a la aventura y nos lo pasamos muy bien y mas con la comida rica q nos pusieron viva mexico!!!

Went here for cocktails with friends, very nice cocktails and good atmosphere. The staff were welcoming and very accommodating. The service was great and the man making the cocktails was very cheerful. Will coming back again soon for cocktails and food.

As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by friendly staff who sat us straight away. Our waiter was very chatty, and gave us some ideas of places to visit and things to see in Canterbury. The food portions were huge, filling, and tasty. Even...
