My husband, baby and I went out to the commissary today. We aren't normally in that neck of the woods and while driving there, I noticed a small bright yellow building and new immediately that we would definitely be stopping there on the way back for some good authentic Mexican! 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. read more

Great for Charleston, but would be lost in other cities. Tiny interior with a few tables. Feels like someone home. The buche and cabeza tacos were the best. Unfortunately, no lengua the day I visited. I enjoyed the crisp cucumber chunks in the tacos. I'd come back and try their menudo. read more

I really wanted to give a good score. It just looked so authentic. The location is great, visible and bright. You walk in and the decor is fun, cultural and cozy. Unfortunately the food presentation was sloppy the taste was greasy and lacked flavor. They have no heater in the seating area and it was really cold. Not sure will be back. read more

I had the carne asada and al pastor tacos along with a horchata when I went. They were both delicious. The tacos are slightly larger than the typical street taco I'm used to but I'm not complaining. It seemed their tortillas are handmade? It had a nice crisp to it from the flat top. But the oddest thing was the addition of cucumbers to the tacos along with your typical onion and cilantro toppings. The addition of cucumbers weren't bad but it didn't elevate the taco for me either. The horchata was sweet and slightly tangier than the ones I like, but still yummy. The inside has about 5 or 6 tables and I can see it getting pretty crowded with just a few people. But the service was quick and friendly. Luckily I can read and understand some Spanish because their menu took me a min to understand. My only recommendation would be to make the descriptions under the items a tad more clear for the english readers. But they did have a number of pictures to help! I will definitely go back and try more food here with someone else so we can order more things to try. read more

La Michoacana - Asada on the left. Al pastor on the right. Cucumbers pushed off to the side haha - Food Trucks Near Me - North Charleston, South Carolina

They have CARNE ASADA FRIES!!!! Yes you heard me right. They call them carmalita fries. Just order them with steak. For my review. I have had: Carmalita fries(asada topped) these are amazing. Pile of crinkle cut fries loaded with all kinds of toppings. (Choice of meat) Cheese sauce, special sauce, cheese, sour cream, guacamole sauce. I am sure I am probably missing something else. Hands down my favorite thing. The only catch, the asada is not as tender as a few other taco trucks around. Overall, this dish is the best. The tacos are standard taco truck tacos. The chicken is terrific. Tacos Fritos are delicious. Basically crispy tacos. I didn't care for the chicken enchiladas. They looked amazing but were very bland. I would not order these again. Overall, I am very happy with this new food truck. If they perfect their carne asada, this will definitely be a 5 star truck. read more

Saw this food truck near the Air Force base for a bit and we had someone try it and say it was pretty good. We went on a weekend and got the Carmelita fries and three tacos. The Carmelita fries with carne asada were very good. I am a saucey loving person and these fries were smothered in some good flavors. They didn't have their avocado green sauce this time but I am sure that would have made the fries that much better. The meat was flavorful and tender. I also got two chicken tacos and a el pastor taco. They cake topped with onions and cilantro which had very good flavors on them. I would say it's comparable to the las lupitas on remount for the chicken tacos, a place that I like a lot. This place is much closer so I'll probably be frequenting it a lot more, especially for the fries which remind me of the Cuban fries from Cuban gypsy pantry food truck without pickles. Overall a pretty good place to eat at and they have an A food eating which is always good to see with a food truck. read more

Just moved to the area and was looking for something that reminded me of home. I bought the their specialty fries which were under $10. You can choose which type of meat; I asked for steak with everything on it. I called before I came to make sure I had the right location and the lady who answered was very nice. The truck is easy to find and the people working were very friendly. I will definitely be back for the fries and will try their tacos too! read more

La Michoacana - a cheese and ketchup nachos - Food Trucks Near Me - North Charleston, South Carolina

Growing up on the rough and tumble streets of Southern California I was craving a down low Mexican food spot that reminded me of my time on the streets as a kid. This is the spot. La Michoacana filled the carne asada fries size hole in my heart. From the family atmosphere in the kitchen to the quaint decor of Aztec sacrifice I could not recommend this place highly enough for your true mexican food needs. Leave the fancy tequilla drinks and chunky salsa to the rich folk and come here! read more

This place used to be a food truck. Now it's a brick and mortar place and the truck is outside for sale. This was some of the best authentic Mexican I've had. Had the torta and the Carmelita fries. Both were out of this world good. Had the horchata for my drink and it's like liquid gold. We will be back and often read more

People of Charleston, this is a place out Dorchester way that will nurture your weary soul back to health. A place where the empanada dough is rolled thin and packed with many fine things. A place where the people are welcoming and willing to love you via your tummy. read more

The first time I tried this little place I ordered 4 tacos (2 chicken & 2 steak) they were good then the next time I went I tried the huarache but the 3rd time I tried the burrito and that was the game changer!!!!! Now I'm hooked on the burritos!!! The burrito is huge, I ate half for lunch and took the other half home for dinner. I live on the other side of town but work in that area from time to time. So I make that extra trip just for a burrito. The owners are so friendly and will explain want comes on your food if you don't understand the menu. If your in the mood for authentic Mexican food you should give it a try. read more
