    We love this spot, and pop in a few times a year after events we work. They have great margaritas, and huge plates, even if you think it's going to be just a nibble. Staff is super friendly and helpful!!!

    Chips, salsa and guac
    Ivan Q.

    I enjoyed a wonderful lunch at the hustling and bustling Azul. The staff was amazing as soon as I entered. I was short on time, so the hostess quickly sat me at the bar. The bartender brought me a menu and water and I ordered chips and guac. The guac was delicious and chips/salsa fresh. I ordered the lunch beef fajitas. They were served piping hot with flour tortillas, beans, guac, sour cream and pico de gallo. My sincere appreciation to the staff for their fast service.

    We went here on a Friday night and there was a short weight but once we were seated the service was fast. We were greeted with free chips and salsa and also ordered questions. We each got plates and enjoyed them. Wet generous portions and I had enough leftover for lunch the next day. It's nice having a yummy Mexican restaurant right in my own neighborhood.

    In town for work and decided to check this place out for dinner. Did not disappoint! Located in Park Circle restaurant district, this place is a hidden gem. Patio is a plus, especially on a beautiful night with cool breezy weather. Complimentary chips and salsa were delicious. Salsa could have used a little more heat. But I like that it is not watery or salty as other places I've been to. I ordered 3 streets tacos with flour tortillas. Portions were huge! Great flavors!

    Stopped in last night... I went to the Summerville location a few weeks ago and it was fine, but came in anyways to the park circle location for Latinx month (thanks Scotty for the heads up on that!). I tried the fried tilapia and it was absolutely incredible! The meal I had at Summerville was OK but this was really top notch and a fair price too. Nicely spiced, super crispy outside, without much (or any?) breading and didn't feel heavy at all. Service was swift and friendly too. Really a good experience here! J.Ja

    I love that they have vegetable forward options for those of us who love Tex Mex but also like to have more than just a sprinkle of lettuce or onion as our veggie with dinner. Skinny margarita is great. As is the Azul Combo, especially with the sauce on the side. ¡Qué sabroso!

    Lunch Chori Pollo

    Park Circle has so many choices for lunch & dinner. I walked over to Azul while at lunch from a training nearby. Was greeted immediately with a smile by the hostess. Sat at the bar and was served within a minute or 2. Their full menu was available, but I ordered the lunch Chori-Pothan. Stacked on complimentary chips and salsa while I waited. Received the meal in less than 10 minutes. Everything was delicious!

    Fish Taco
    Jacqueline T.

    We headed here for a late night dinner after a Halloween event. The chips were a bit hard and the salsa were ok, but the queso was on point. I really enjoyed my fish tacos that were cooked to perfection. I've ordered them before and they are a personal favorite of mine. The bar service was just ok. We had to ask for extra napkins, a refill on our water and chips. The restaurant has a fun, young and trendy vibe. A great choice if you're looking for a place to socialize.

    Spicy cucumber margarita

    I recently came here with a group and I must say that Azul did a great job handling our large party. I didn't organize it but it was a friends birthday and I was invited to join. We had close to twenty people and people arrived over a 20 minute period. They were quick to grab drink orders for anyone that arrived and then took all the food orders at once. There might have been a couple mix ups on whose food was whose, but everything came out pretty quickly and it was all sorted out properly. Someone also brought a cake that they helped us coordinate and were overall helpful towards facilitating a fun surprise meet up with friends. I had the fried chimichangas this time around and while I have some other favorites on the menu, I will say the chimichangas were great.

    Azul Sampler & Free Salsa
    Jay T.

    Good experience at Azul on Saturday evening. They had several outside tables which were mostly full, so we sat inside since it was largely empty. That changed pretty quickly as the inside filled too; got very noisy once it did. There's a large public parking lot around the corner. Our server was friendly and food came out quickly. Their free salsa was very tasty; it helped add some flavor to a couple of their less flavorful items. They weren't bad, just a little bland. The sampler appetizer included nachos at the bottom, so the chips were a bit soggy by the time we got down to them; honestly the nachos were mostly lettuce. The guac was good, and the jalapeños provided a nice flavor. The taquitos weren't overly flavorful but the salsa and guac helped. I must say the cheese dip was watery and the brown gravy-like sauce just wasn't very good. Overall the food was good, but not great. We split the sampler and both left full since it was plenty of food for two. We enjoyed our visit to Azul and wouldn't hesitate to go again, but would probably try some different items next time.

    Quesadillas Jalisco
    Ashley B.

    Amazing mexican food! They serve chips and salsa when you are waiting. Tables outside to eat at with music. Get the Quesadillas Jalisco, you will not regret it. Giving it 4/5 because the inside smelled like pine-sol and the service was mediocre. Good food though

    Spicy cucumber margarita
    April P.

    I've been here a few times and I absolutely love their cucumber margaritas. Especially the spicy ones. I always order the chicken quesadilla fajita but I never eat the tortilla bc it's usually very soggy! I mostly just dump the chicken and veggies and eat it like rice chicken and salad. I'm sure there's a better way to order that meal but I'm a fan of my way. lol Azul in park circle is a great place to hang out for dinner or just drinks. There is outdoor seating that places you right in the heart of the action! The servers are good but the bartenders are very distracted. I Editing this review to give 2 stars instead of 4. I recently returned and after my drink was made incorrectly twice. I was told by the manager if they remade the drink again I would have to pay for it even though the bartender was making the drink incorrectly. I declined to have any more drinks and left.

    Came here on a Sunday afternoon. It was pretty empty on the inside. Service was great. Our waitress was very attentive. Would definitely return.

It's a bit of a drive to get there from downtown or Mt Pleasant but oh my god, it is entirely worth it. There was just one person running the entire front of the restaurant, waiting every table, bringing out all of the food, and handling the checks. She was fantastic and the service was great. We ordered in Spanish (the best we could) and everything turned out well, but the menu is in both English and Spanish so you could just point to the things you want. I had the enchiladas which were amazing, highly recommend. Also ask for a flavored water (agua fresca), they had pineapple, cucumber and lime, and tamarin. The pineapple water (agua fresca de piña) was so good! This place is a diamond in the rough. It doesn't look like much on the outside but don't judge a book by its cover, it's the best Mexican restaurant in Charleston!

On our way to the airport one weekend, we saw the sign for what appeared to be a new restaurant in town, the family was hungry and we decided to give it a shot. Not expecting much, we ordered some authentic Mexican dishes: Lamb Barbacoa. Chilaquiles, Enchiladas and Horchata and Cucumber waters.... boy, were we so pleasantly surprised!!!!! FINALLY; delicious, fresh and truly authentic Mexican dishes!! For once everyone, wife, toddlers, teenage son, mother in law and I unanimously agreed, we're so delighted with this place that we have made it our go-to weekend breakfast spot. Service is super friendly, portions are generous, prices are fair. We hope this place keeps the great quality of the food for years to come. Congratulations to the chef, cooks and staff, all of you succeeded in making us feel at home.

We shopped and shopped and worked up an appetite. We walked into the tiny little restaurant and I immediately went onto my yelp app. The menu is NOT in English and I had no idea what I wanted so I used pictures as some sort of a guideline lol. My husband ordered enchiladas and we agreed, per usual that we would split everything. I ordered huarache and then last minute we decided to do an order of the plantains, (only one not pictures) sorry y'all they were delicious!!! The only flaw I saw was the guy in back, guessing owner, pretty much ran the entire show, which is badass, however I wished he wore gloves!! And then I almost ate both foil and wax paper from scraping the plastic to the bottom, it was worth it. We love finding authentic little places like this, they started with a food struck and now have this little hole in the wall place that packs a powerful punch! Oh and their green hot sauce that came in the soufflé cup was amazing! If not for my son, I would have drenched my food in it! So good! We would definitely come back, but I'd research the menu a little more before coming, so I can figure out what I want beforehand.

    Pollo Loko - North Charleston, SC…read more The wife and I stopped into Pollo Loko for a quick lunch, not expecting much... and wow, what a surprise this place turned out to be. First off, the customer service was outstanding. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely made us feel appreciated from the moment we walked in. You don't always get that kind of attention these days, so it really stood out. The restaurant itself was spotless, well-kept, and had a great vibe. You can tell they take pride in the place. Now let's talk about the food -- because this is where they really shine. We started with the empanadas, which were absolutely delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and the perfect way to kick things off. For our main, we ordered the Peruvian chicken, served with fries and rice, and it did not disappoint. The chicken was cooked perfectly, packed with flavor, and paired incredibly well with their signature sauces -- seriously, those sauces take everything to another level. Even the salad was fresh and tasty, which says a lot because that's usually an afterthought at most places. On top of that, they've got a great selection of sodas and other drinks, making it a perfect stop for a casual lunch. Bottom line: An unexpected gem with amazing food, top-tier service, and a clean, welcoming atmosphere. **Highly recommend -- 5 stars, 3 thumbs up from us.

Quesadiladas - you get 2 in an order and these are different than Mexican ones since they have grilled bell peppers and onions. A bit pricy too...the rice and beans that come with this are just average. They only had 2 salsas for the table, a green ranch like one and a red spicy one similar to a spicy Mexican red sauce. I'm still looking for a peruvian restaurant that has the spicy green sauce that most all peruvian restaurants have in California.
