Review Summary

Reviews of Tacos Lakalaka describe a lively, festive Mexican spot with a big cocktail list and frequent live music, where many dishes are described as flavorful and authentic and the sauces on the tables are a plus. At the same time, experiences vary widely: several diners lament inconsistent service and menu misunderstandings since the ownership change, with promotions unclear and orders sometimes arriving wrong or cold. The atmosphere is often praised for energy and friendliness, though the music and crowd can be very loud, making conversation difficult. Prices are repeatedly called high for the portions and overall value, though some guests feel the quality justifies the cost and others find it overpriced. Despite the ups and downs, many reviewers say they would return for the vibe or a special occasion, but others caution that consistency and clarity should improve before relying on a repeat visit.

LOVE THE ENVIRONMENT, LOVE THE CONCEPT OF THE RESTAURANT, BUT UNFORTUNELY I HAD A HORRIBLE WAITRESS EXPERIENCE. MY AUNT WANTED TO ORDER ENCHILADAS VERDES & I ASKED THE WAITRESS IF THEY WERE SPICY BECAUSE MY AUNT HAS HEALTH PROBLEM & CANNOT EAT SPICY FOOD. SHE REPLIED NO. ONCE RECEIVE THE ORDER. THE FOOD WAS SO SPICY THAT MY AUNT COULDN'T EAT IT. I CALLED THE WAITRESS & TOLD HER THAT THE FOOD WAS SPICY & MY AUNT & MY MOM COULDN'T HANDLE IT. & SHE REPLIED'IT'S NOT SPICY FOR ME'. PLUS SHE DIDN'T APOLOGIZE OR SUGGEST A DIFFERENT PLATE. SHE COMPLETELY IGNORED US THE WHOLE NIGHT. & THEN, WHEN I CALLED AN ANOTHER WAITER TO CHECK US OUT SINCE SHE DIDN'T SERVE US THE WHOLE NIGHT, WE WERE ABOUT TO LEAVE & SHE CALLED US TO PAY AGAIN. WHEN SHE STOPPED SERVING US. REALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE SERVICE.

There isn't much to say about the place. The food was excellent, but the restrooms were not working during my visit. Also, there is a missing door at the entrance, which made the area where I was sitting feel cold every time someone entered the restaurant.

Food was great, great service too. We wanted to order non-alcoholic cocktails & they were able to accommodate with a reduced price.
However, we went there early on a Friday night (7pm-ish) & we didn't expect a live show that was super LOUD! We were facing each other & had to scream instead of having a chill conversation. The singer had a fun presence, despite the poor quality of the sound system. We ended up leaving before we finished our starter.
Please let us know when you have these events. I'd love to come back, but at another momento, to chill, talk & pre-game with my friends.
