There is plenty of sitting space, less wait, and more good eating! The only mystery here is that they stopped serving COFFEE. WHY????? A good breakfast is not complete without coffee. Come on, guys, what's the deal? They even used to serve hot milk for your coffee and regular cold milk for the kids... as of today, it's gone. When and if you bring coffee and milk back, I will change my rating to 5 stars... until then, you get 4 because coffee or not, the food is still great.

Stopped in here today with my oldest son. As soon as the chips arrived I knew this would be…read moredifferent, there were still a corn based chip but nothing like the tortilla chips at a Mexican restaurant. The dip seemed to be mayonnaise based, tasted fine but that much mayo isn't my thing. We started with the Colombian empanadas and they were really good! I had a horchata as well. Being honest the chips, horchata, and empanadas were almost enough to fill me up as it is. The sandwiches came out, and they were massive and dense. This was nothing like the Cuban sandwiches I have had elsewhere. Like the description was the same - melted cheese, ham, roast pork, pickles, on a roll with mayo. But it was done totally different. The pork was a pulled pork which had obviously been slow cooked. The ham wasn't just deli ham. The mayo had garlic mixed in. The bread was a fantastic Cuban loaf. This was just so dense and filling I could only eat half. My son had the pastor sandwich and reported about the same. He had the plantains and I had the green fries. The fries were interested but not really to my taste; again, they seemed to have a mayo based sauce on them which just is not to my taste. The bill was big, but with me ordering the horchata and my son having a Mexican Coke, getting two sides, and the appetizer, plus the sheer amount of food, it was a good value. J.Ja

I hadn't seen a menu or anything beforehand so I didn't know what to expect. Got the chicken shawarma with a side of fries. The shawarma was really salty, the fries weren't that good--it reminded me of sysco frozen fries or something. I expected the shawarma to be a little bit more warm/crispy with the wrap but it almost felt like a burrito in a way. I think searing on a flattop or something would be better. Staff was very kind but it took a while for service. Also, there was a giant speaker right next to the place where you were supposed to order? I could barely hear them asking for an English menu because there was music blasting in my face. They dropped a ton of sauces for me for dining in--from ketchup to mustard to bbq sauce. The only thing good was the crema. Don't think I'd go back. I really wanted to like this place.

I've been dying to try this place since it's so close to home, and it did not disappoint! After…read morecatching some live music on Johns Island, we stopped by for a late-night bite. It's one of the few spots open until 1 AM serving food, and the setup--a Venezuelan/Habibi fusion food truck inside a school bus--is so unique. The food is absolutely amazing and incredibly flavorful. The portions are huge, too; the Pepito sandwich in my photo is actually only half the size of a normal one! It's perfect for sharing. Plus, the service was wonderful--the Venezuelan lady taking the orders was so kind.

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.

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.
