The venue is decorated nicely with wooden carved tables and very creative murals. I tried the Torta al pastor which was a very big and generous portion with all the required toppings , and although it was good, the Pork meat marinade and cooking style did not blow me away. Our servers were very friendly and accommodating for requests and modifications. I hope life brings me back nearby to give it another try.

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!

After trying all Mexican restaurants in and around Charleston, and being honestly disappointed at…read morewhat passes for "Mexican Food" in South Carolina, we found this TERRIFIC place. 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.

The place looks like an older restaurant with the hole in a wall feel. The food is actually cooked in the food truck out front of the building with probably a dozen or so tables inside. My wife and I visited this place for lunch on a weekend when I took the day off. It was one of my saved Yelp spots to try. We were not disappointed and the overall experience was okay. I ordered a sandwich, taco and a nacho. My wife ordered a few tacos and a torta. The tortillas were not homemade and the nachos seemed like it was made by not fresh ingredients but packaged ingredients (cheese, meat, chips). As far as drinks, we ordered the horchata which was on the sweeter side and mediocre. As far as service, they were all friendly and nice. No issues on that front. If your looking for a casual same friendly environment with okay Mexican food, this is your place.

Brush up on your Spanish, the employees I talked to during this, and previous visits speak little English. With patience and recalling a little high school Spanish they'll meet your Mexican food needs. Service is typically quick too as it's never very crowded.

This is not a good place to eat. If you're scrolling looking for a good Mexican spot to grab some…read moretacos, keep looking. The restaurant has maybe 10 tables in it but somehow the server will be too busy to check on you even if you're the only 5 people in the place. Additionally, they will stand next to your table and wait until you've decided what to eat even if it takes you 15 minutes. Its weird. When you get your food (and if you ordered the tacos) prepare to play find the rotten meat. I ordered one of each type of taco and one of them was filled with a meat that was going bad. Disappointing because I love tacos. But don't worry! If you didn't get the tacos, maybe you lucked into getting something that comes with rice and beans. Honestly, these are a staple of any Mexican restaurant and you'd think they would make sure they're bringing a good support cast for the main dish. Well, you thought wrong. The rice and beans were cold. The rice was bland and the beans tasted like they had been first plated a week ago and then mixed with water to remoisturize them. Again, DO NOT EAT HERE. I don't know if they started off good and it's slowly declined; the owners were kidnapped and the people there are maintaining some kind of cover story; or they just don't give a shit. Whatever the reason, find some place else.

While a lot of places have been raising prices, their lunch specials are still under $10 which is honestly rare right now. Great variety too, and they've got plenty of kid-friendly options which made it super easy for our group. We came in with a party of 10 and everything ran smoothly. The staff was friendly, attentive, and on top of everything without being overwhelming. Food came out fast, hot, and fresh. You can tell they use good quality ingredients, especially the vegetables. Portions are generous, especially for dinner, so you're definitely getting your money's worth. The vibe is casual, relaxed, and very family-friendly. Didn't try the margaritas this time, but saw one go by and it looked pretty good definitely on the list for next visit. Overall, solid spot for families, groups, or just a reliable meal that won't break the bank. Kind of want to gatekeep it... but also want them to stay in business forever

I'm the video I saw they had the same burrito so I figured why not. WOW, first thing I noticed was how heavy my to go bag was. And when I got home I was very surprised how huge this thing was. Flavor was neck and neck so good! I can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu! Update: Cash is preferred. They do have a Zelle QR code if needed.
