    Blackened Salmon tacos
    Wanda G.

    Met friends for lunch. Ordered Blackened Salmon Tacos on corn tortillas. Delicious! Three tacos and I ate every single bite! I normally can't eat that much but they were just so delicious. Upscale restaurant. Service was excellent. They also have a lunch menu.

    Chicken Caesar Salad

    Ambiance: 4.0. It is beautiful and nicely decorated. The seating is interesting. We were in a semi-circular booth with 4 people in our group. It felt really cramped with a small table. Also watch your step! Service: 2.0. We did come in without a reservation. The restaurant was half full. We stood waiting for 20 minutes to be seated in a booth that was empty the whole time. The waiting area is nonexistent causing us to constantly have to move to stay out of the way. I don't believe we were checked on very much and there were a couple of things wrong but corrected when asked. However we'd asked to substitute rice side with lettuce and were charged extra without being informed. I'd asked for extra salad dressing and received a very small shot glass of dressing and was charged for it without being informed of the charge. Food 2.5 Once we were seated, the server brought us the smallest basket of chips and smallest dish of salsa I've ever seen in a Mexican restaurant. It looked more like a 1 person portion. We did ask for water and received a carafe with glasses but the glasses were the size of a shot glass, although they were pretty. I got the chicken Caesar salad. It came as a fully attached head of romaine lettuce with a sprinkling of dressing. There were a lot of croutons the same color as the chicken. I removed the croutons which amounted to about 2 handfuls, and the chicken was a small portion. The lettuce was difficult to cut with a butter knife. It was pretty in presentation though. The food tasted good, not very spicy. If you want the Mexican heat, not sure about that here. Overall it's looks over substance. And very pricy for what you get with small upcharges hidden. I hope this place makes some changes as it is in a great location and could be a fantastic place to go. I'm not returning without the service and substance issues being addressed.

    The decor is beautiful and you can surely tell that there was much thought behind every detail. Kudos to their interior designer! I made reservations online the night before to ensure we'd have seating on a Saturday night when everyone is out and about. I recommend making reservations even though there is plenty seating. We noticed quite a few people celebrating birthdays, really sweet of the restaurant to come out and serenade them. Added kicker, there's a DJ! We really wanted to love every aspect. The menus both the food and drink were beautiful but were annoying to browse because they were hard to manipulate as you looked through them due to the way they were bounded. (A qwerty code would be a nice touch for folks who may have a hard time managing the menus). Our server was very nice and offered her recommendations for both appetizers and dinner. In this area and especially in the South, you'd expect larger portion sizes but the vibe here is classier so smaller portion sizes. My daughter was surprised that her appetizer was so small. For us gluten free folks, there was not a lot offered clearly on the menu but I'm sure had I asked, the chef or the owners would have addressed my concerns. It seems like they aim to please their customers. The best part of the night was definitely my daughter and I hanging out together making memories (and sipping my Lychee-Mia )!

    Ambiance is very nice. Bartender was very attentive. We all enjoyed the food. My cheese steak burrito could have been a little hotter. Overall we would attend again.

    Came to check out a New Mexican restaurant. The vibe and decorations are beautiful and everything was designed for good quality. We can during an off time so while it started out empty there, it quickly filled up and was crowded. Service was good and food was delicious. If you don't like cilantro be sure to ask for less or none bc everything does have cilantro. Our alcohol drinks were good and there was a pitcher of water at the table. Everyone enjoyed their meal and mine specifically was the cielo burrito which was so big that I have a whole half left. Hands down the best salsa that is complimentary that we have had in a while- not watered down and had a nice flavor and kick.

    This is the second time I've come here and this time we sat outside on the patio bar area. The service is quick and super friendly. The food is always on point and we always leave excited to come back ready to try more!

    This charming Mexican restaurant has been on my list to go to for a while now and I wish I had gone sooner. The inside is decorated so beautifully with booths and tables and beautiful decor. I was greeted right away and seated after making a reservation. The reservation was probably not needed, but I did so anyways. The meal came with complementary chips and salsa and I'm not talking about the cheap kind of salsa you find in the store. The menu has many options for every pallet. My friend bought the Texas rice, which I forgot to get a picture of. I bought the grilled octopus with potatoes and it was so good! It was grilled perfectly and was so tender. I ordered a white sangria and my friend and I decided to buy the patron margarita flight. That flight is not for the weak of heart! It was very strong, but delicious. I would not recommend it for one person, but definitely two or three people. Overall, it was an amazing experience and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I cannot wait to go back.

    The food is amazing and the service was excellent. The ambiance was great and the design is nice. It was my first time ordering from there, it was really good

    Salmon taco! Chef's kiss!
    Rachael H.

    The decor is fresh and quite lovely! The margaritas are amazing but surprisingly enough I love their espresso martini just as much! The Mexican sushi is one of my favorites and we loved loved the pork belly and salmon tacos! Been a few times and have enjoyed this new addition to nexton!

    The restaurant decor itself was appealing. The music was at an acceptable volume. When we walked in, there was hardly anyone in the restaurant and the hostess said it would be a 20 to 30 minute wait. We asked if they could please just sit us at a table for drinks and chips and salsa while we waited After speaking to the manager, they allowed it. The server we had was not very experienced it seemed, as multiple of the items we ordered came incorrect and had to be redone. She also didn't check on us without us flagging her down. The food was just average. I really wanted to love this place, as it's conveniently located and I thought it would be a more upscale Mexican option but there was nothing upscale except the price. There was not many vegan options. Some of the food was presented beautifully but the flavors did not match the look. Overall the best item we had was the cauliflower. The salsa was decent. We will probably not go back here. Although taco boy is hit or miss, I find them still to be the best Mexican option, outside of driving to Charleston for Bartaco or The Matador.

    Carne asada tacos

    Food was awesome. A modern take on Mexican food. Very interesting menu especially if you are a foodie. Service was fantastic. The decorations and all around ambiance of the place is amazing. There is nothing like this in the surrounding area in Summerville. Drinks were awesome!!! Only margaritas around that taste and look like they have authentic ingredients. Not fake fluorescent mixers.

    Lovely new Latin restaurant in Nexton - great drinks and food! Appetizer trio, Airline chicken, grilled burrito and mole chicken all exceptional! The chicken was literally fall off the bone and I can say enough about the dark mole!! Best mole I have had in Charleston area! Kate was our server and she was very attentive! We will definitely be regulars here.

Greeted with a smile and sat immediately. The infamous chips and salsa placed on the table. Did I mention I'm meeting a friend for lunch and I'm 45 minutes early??? FORTY FIVE MINUTES!! Which only means I'll eat all the table chips and salsa while deciding what to have for lunch..the menu looks great! I mean, who doesn't like Mexican food..even after spending the whole month of February going between Cozumel and Costa Maya...I will never get tired of Mexican food.. of course I ordered a Dos Equis with a lime..it's soooo good!! I need up ordering the golden tacos with rice and bean..it was good! I only wish it was served hotter..it was warm but not hot. Still tasted great! My friend ordered the chicken fajita burritos...she said yummy!! The music reminds me of walking around Cozumel...the only thing that would make it better was if we were overlooking the ocean...I'll be back for sure!!

Tiki Taco is about really good Mexican food, and nothing else. And, when I say "nothing else", I mean that they do not have a proper building to dine in per se. They have something like a large garden gazebo or something that has high-top mismatched tables and chairs. The structure you're eating in is open air - it doesn't have windows, and the walls are only half walls. In the winter they put plastic over the open parts to try to keep the wind out. This place gets five stars anyway. The food is that good. In fact, it's so good, that if rating on just food quality alone, this is my favorite restaurant in Summerville. I've had nearly everything on the menu at Tiki Taco, and I've loved every bite of it. It's fantastic. I'm not such an authority that I can tell you how authentic it is, or that they do this really crucial thing that only "real" Mexican chefs know how to do. I'm just saying it's among the best Mexican food I've ever had.
