Yes they do mean "let's go" and you can answer "Willst du ins Kino gehen?" with "Los geht's". But "Ja gerne" would be the more common answer.

I heard this expression in a song of the same title by die Fanta Vier and Los geht' from Ramsi Aliani's song ' Schlagalarm'. I thought they all meant ' Let's go'. – DerPolyglott33 Dec 27 '13 at 09:28

Well, there's a big difference between language in music and actually spoken language. – Andri Dec 27 '13 at 09:42

"Los geht's" is more common than "Auf geht's" I doubt it. Probably depends on audience, region, etc. – Mar 01 '14 at 19:11
Is there a phrase one would be more likely to use for "let's go" (to the movies)? – Andy Oct 12 '15 at 05:03
And what does the 's stand for? – Nate Glenn Oct 22 '16 at 02:43

"Los geht's" is more akin to "Let's go", whereas "Auf geht's" is more akin to "Here we go".

I don't see this difference. Any references or examples for that? – Hulk Aug 29 '14 at 05:07
