How it all began

Welcome to Locavores Tacos and Tortillas, where we make tacos with Southern inspiration and flavors. We believe using seasonal and Southern ingredients make for the very best tasting food.

"What started as simply making and documenting our family's meals blossomed into a food business."

Our story began with a simple idea: to create healthy, safe food for our daughter who was diagnosed with several anaphylactic food allergies at the age of 6 months. What started as simply making and documenting our family's meals blossomed into a food business sharing what we've learned: the best quality ingredients are the ones grown close to home.

We cook with the seasons, which is reflected in our rotating menu. We're committed to sustainability, sourcing local produce whenever possible, and supporting our farmers and community.

Bon appétit, y'all!
