Lost Local

"This is by far my favorite local spot for a quick bite or a chill dinner and drinks with friends. The service is always amazing and the food is fantastic! I will keep coming back to enjoy the food, service, and relaxing atmosphere!"

"Fantastic!! This should be a stop for your stay in Beaufort. Really great tacos with fun flavors. AWESOME margaritas. The jalapeno margarita is probably the best I've had. And the Gullah taco was my favorite."

"Our visit was 2 August 2023 for a quick lunch during a 60th birthday vacation. A total of four women and my dish was Arnold Palmer and Hawaiian Chicken. Price was good and food was okay. Place was clean, location was nice and staff were pleasant & professional. We had been visiting sites and wanted a quick bite. Afterwards we walked around the area and waterfront."

"From the moment you step into Lost Local, a trendy and lively taco bar tucked away in charming Beaufort, South Carolina, you’re greeted with an energy that’s almost as tantalizing as their menu offerings. Let me tell you about their Boom Boom Shrimp – its a show-stopper. It’s not just food, it’s a revelation. Delivered fresh daily, never frozen, these nuggets of delight redefine the standards of shrimp tenderness and freshness. The spicy chipotle aioli that comes with it adds a rich, spicy kick that will leave your palate dancing with delight. It’s so phenomenal that it transcends being merely a dish – it’s an experience I would willingly relive every day. It’s a masterclass in taste and texture. It’s a dish that haunts your culinary dreams. Life-changing seems an understatement - it’s transformative! When it comes to the heart of their menu - the tacos - Lost Local doesn’t disappoint. They’re a harmonious orchestra of flavors, each one worthy of an encore. The ones I had the pleasure of sampling were Mac Chicken, Carnitas, Ahi Tuna, Pork Belly, Beef Barbacoa, Fish, Fried Island Shrimp, and Blackened Island Shrimp. My personal favorites, however, were the Ahi, Pork Belly, and Fried Island Shrimp. Each bite is a testament to Lost Local’s dedication to freshness and flavor. The one aspect where some taco aficionados might take issue is the choice of corn tortillas as the sole option. Given the robustness of the fillings and their sauces, it’s understandable, but for a flour tortilla lover like me, I found myself savoring the contents sans tortilla at times. That said, the quality of the ingredients overshadows this minor quibble. Lastly, no taco bar is complete without a beverage menu to match, and Lost Local doesn’t disappoint. The margaritas I tried were beautifully crafted and delicious. Although they were all served on the rocks, I can’t help but dream of a frozen variety making an appearance. In summary, Lost Local is more than a restaurant - it’s a culinary experience that excites the senses and leaves a lasting impression. It’s an absolute must-visit in Beaufort, where the Boom Boom Shrimp alone is worth the trip."
