The ambience was very nice, the service was pretty good as well, the tacos were adequate and the street corn could've used more spice on it but overall a great place to get good tacos. read more

Tiny portion of meat which wasn't even good - dry and flavorless. At least the greasy sauce had some flavor. Burnt, dry and old - gross and yet they sell it for 7$ a pop. What a joke. Clowns read more

The food is a slice of heaven. Looking at good food now will only be possible in hindsight. The light of my life is tacoboy. The quessabirria is worth every penny. Kayla was our server and she was so friendly and gave us ideas of what to do in Charleston. The overall building design too is super beautiful. I sincerely wish reincarnation is real so I can be born anew as a fly on the wall in a taco boy read more

I'm a huge fan of both Taco Boy locations with the downtown one being my favorite! I ordered a quesadilla and it came with lots of veggies. I visited this location in Cinco De mayo, and while they were quite busy, they were able to accommodate everyone and keep up with the orders. They also have an outdoor patio which is well decorated and looks like a great place to unwind and have a few drinks! Definitely check out this place! read more

Grilled shrimp tacos were very filling and the fried chicken tacos are an interesting flavor profile. Reminds me a little of Torchy's. Tamarind aqua Fresca and Horchata were very good. Tres leche cake was ok. Our server was friendly and did well handling two families at a not busy time. I can concur this is a good place to bring kids. read more

Went with a colleague for lunch and did the lunch platter special. I ordered a chicken bacon ranch taco and a baha taco. They were both divine. Also ordered refried beans and Spanish rice. The beans were great. The rice was meh. We started out sitting outside but the mosquitos were insane. We asked to be moved inside and our server was extremely gracious about it. All-in-all a good experience. read more

My wife and I googled where to go for a Cinco de mayo good time in Charleston 2026. Taco Boy came up at the top of the list and did not disappoint! Liam Murphy put on a great show and the waiters/waitresses were AWESOME! The weather was perfect and the stars aligned for this evening gathering. Thanks for the memories!! read more

Very convenient if you're visiting Folly Beach. About three blocks from the Pier. Theme is tropical with surf boards and such for decorations. Food was tasty. We stopped by for lunch after spending the morning at the beach. Nice spot to grab a bite. Nothing was bad or tasteless. Overall a good experience. read more

Very authentic decoration with great parking. Food was good but flour taco shells were cold. The service was good and friendly but it took awhile to get my food due to a large party out on the patio. I have eaten at Taco Boy before and the menu items have changed slightly. 3 tacos with rice and beans for is a good price point and portion size were large. read more

Taco Boy in Charleston is one of those solid consistent places were you will always find a table without a long wait. On a summer -not too hot- day we chose to sit on the patio in a shaded area and it was a lovely time shaded and cool. We ordered a pitcher of margaritas, which was really good and had at least 7 singles in it, so it was a great value. We shared the Nachos, which were good but could have used a better distribution of toppings to have a more evenly coated chip across. Also tried the chicken taquitos, which were good as a sharable snack. For the main meal I had the quesabirria , which was really good and large, I ended up bringing home more than half of it and I was very happy eating left overs for two more meals. I do wish there was a happy hour or some sort of specials to give me an excuse to go more often. Bonus point for Pepper, the resident cat that roams on the patio. read more

Very nice atmosphere, indoor and outdoor seating. They have an area for sitting and playing hard games in the patio area. Service was great, our waitress was attentive and offered selections. Food was not very memorable and also not as good as the Summerville location. QuesaBirria was very good! Ordered the choose three tacos. They were just missing something, like flavor! Al pastor taco did not taste like it was marinated in anything. Pickled red onions were the best part. Fried chicken taco was pretty good. There was a LOT of slaw on it and not much chicken. Chicken was well seasoned. Grilled shrimp taco was also not impressive. Just a lot going on, but nothing at the same time. I'd go back to try other things! read more

We visited this location with family members. It was a cool evening so we sat outside. Great atmosphere with plenty of room for kids to play outside and not bother people. The service was great.

We would definitely go back to this place upon our return to town. read more

4 stars for the friendly service and the daily happy hour from 3-6.. The place itself is also nice, tucked away from downtown with ample parking. The chips are your standard chips which seem to be packaged. I went for the chicken tinga tacos that were not memorable. They were very salty and the chicken was dry. My GF is a big fan of the frozen screwdriver. Taco Boy is average at best. read more

I usually visit Taco Boy on Tuesdays as they offer $5.00 Margaritas all Day! Sit outside and commune with Nature as you sip your Favorite Margaritas and enjoy their 3 Appetizer Trio with fresh Hot Chips! You'll thank Me later Delicious Tacos and Street Corn read more

We come almost every Tuesday for their $5 margaritas which lasts all day, along with free chips and salsa till around 5-6pm. The Elote wings are AMAZING, me and my friends always get them and have yet to get tired of them! read more

Really good food, cool atmosphere and great service by Dylan. Would definitely come again when in town.

Take your wallet with you! Expensive! The food is just average (Taco Bell Ish) however they do have a few creative items on the menu. Super slow service, I mean slow. Such a waste of a wonderful location. Also, if you have issues with steps you might want to go elsewhere. read more

Taco Boy is a great Mexican food spot near downtown with an awesome outdoor patio and friendly service. I ordered the nachos and a 3 taco platter with rice and beans. The ingredients are super fresh and tasty, and they have awesome vegetarian choices like jackfruit carnitas and vegan chorizo. Many gluten free options as well including corn tortillas as a choice for any of the tacos. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area! read more

Multi level indoor/outdoor restaurant with multiple bars. I forgot to take pics of the food SMH. By the time it got to the table I had to ask for to go boxes so that I could leave and go to work. I did try the "famous" queso and chips fresh which tasted like melted Kraft singles American cheese which was a turnoff for me, but my friend liked it. My friend had a chicken quesadilla which she really enjoyed. I had a birria taco and beef with kimchi which both were too salty for me. The fried chicken taco and street corn were ok. I have to go back when I have more time to sit and eat while it's still fresh. read more

We ate here on the first day of my first trip to Charleston and it was alright. We came with another family and we all got a range of things. I ordered the taco plate with one shrimp tempura taco and one firecracker shrimp taco. The firecracker was amazing. Cooked just right and the flavors were poppin'. The other taco was bland and the remoulade had no flavor. It tasted basically like mayonnaise, which I do not like. The beans and rice were good. The table started with guacamole and salsa and both tasted totally fresh. There was no question that they had just made it. And the chips were warm and crisp. I ordered a tequila, soda, lime and it was fine, but it's a no frills drink so there's nothing to report there. All the kids ordered pink lemonades and they complained of the sweetness. You heard me right, the KIDS, complained about how sweet it was. Naturally I had to taste it and, OH, was it sweet!! My kids did add a bit of water to them to offset it. I did not try the quesadillas but my daughter complained about the over-the-top amount of cheese it contained, so if ordering, you need to know that. But I know that is not a deal breaker for some. My son had the grilled fish taco plate, which I did try, and we both were not a fan. The fish was completely dry, overcooked and had no flavor, which my husband also said of his Birria taco. And the nachos (which my other daughter ordered) had hardly any carne asada (which you pay $7 to add), and was mostly loaded with lettuce under the initial toppings. It was more like a taco salad if anything. You may be wondering why I gave them a three. Well, some of the food was flavorful, fresh and tasted great, but then there was the other half that wasn't great. The restaurant is really cool looking on the inside and it has indoor seating as well and a large outdoor area so in that regard, they can accommodate a lot of people. Yet the bigness of the restaurant could explain why some things took a while to get to us (like our drinks). Because Charleston has SOOOO many restaurants, I likely won't be back. Still, if you're near by and you try it you may have a differing experience. read more

Not bad. Sit at the bar if it's busy and you're a party of 3 or less. Neighborhood is kinda shady. Parking is off to the side/rear of restaurant. Inside is modern and welcoming. Drinks- hibiscus margarita is a two thumbs up cocktail, pineapple margarita was the same fresh, light, easy to drink. Appetizer was street corn dip. Dip was hot and fresh chips were the typical chips you get everywhere else called Mexican. Entrees- cheeseburger quesadillas and choose three tacos. Quesadilla was very filling. Hot and fresh not like it sat under a warmer. Tacos- one kimchi which was the best, carne asada good seasoning and tender, and one al pastor very good. We would definitely come back. read more

I have been to the Folly Beach Taco Boy many times but this was my first visit to the Huger St location. The outside area is very kid friendly. We enjoyed the fake grass area with cornhole.

This location was in a super cool spot hidden away by the freeway. I was with friends who have 5 kids so it ended up being a perfect spot for us to sit outside and they had an awesome play area to keep them entertained in a close distance. My enchiladas were tasty and the street corn was packed with flavor, super delicious. Reasonable pricing for drinks compared to other places in Charleston. Definitely would recommend to sit outside and if you have kids. Service was attentive and very friendly. read more

This is a staple Mexican place for us- the wait for a table is minimal, the drinks are great and the outside are makes it a pleasant enough to sit and chill while waiting for a table. If you have kids the outdoor area has games and space for them to blow off some steam away from tables and the bar. The food here is always solid and tasty, service always great. My only complaints are it's too dark - can't read the menu - and the music is just too loud. read more

Went for lunch on Wednesday 3/19, I mention that only because we don't remember our waiters name. He did an excellent job and the service by all of the staff was great. We started with the Mexican Street Corn n nachos. It was thick with sweet corn, cotija cheese n lime mayo. My wife had the Mexican Ceasar salad with Chicken. I had Quesabirria Quesadilla with braised beef, cheese and more. I highly recommend it! I look forward to eating there again next year. read more

We arrived at taco boy and were sat immediately, our server arrived at the table and informed us that we would not be served alcohol for the night. We asked why, calmly, and requested to speak to a manager. They informed us that he was too busy to speak to us even though it didn't seem to be a crowded night. We got up and left and there was no human decency when addressing our situation, it was simply inappropriate and I would not recommend coming here, if you are having a fun night I would advise going somewhere else!! read more

If you live in the area then you know. This place is awesome!! Two words : pineapple tequila. Just get it on the rocks. Everything on the menu is great. Tried the shrimp and crab empanadas as something new and they are a perfect "10". Might be enough for a whole meal if you are not that hungry. Street corn is top notch. Have not heard one complaint on the appetizers. You deserve a break today. And tequila will help with that break read more

The tacos here are so mouth watering good. The wait was so long I don't want to begin to speak about it. The way the food taste made me not worry about the long wait maybe they took there time and prepared it right so I wouldn't complain. The place has a indoor and outdoor bar. Lots of people and music to enjoy. I will be back. Oan I tried about 5 or 6 different tacos and ate there nachos it was all good. read more

We came here on 4th of July and immediately loved the vibes. Even though I didn't have a margarita, the did have a good deal for them and not a bad size here. Our worse complaint and why I won't come back is that chips and salsa do not come with your dining experience. You have to purchase them... for $10!!! Ridiculous. But, for $13 you can get the trio of queso, guacamole, and salsa appetizer. We ended up doing that because it made so much more sense, a much better deal, and you got 3 different options. The chips and salsa would not be worth purchasing for $10, salsa was good but not that good for the price. I ordered the taquitos appetizer and it was so good, the sauces that were put on top of it were delicious. Service was good, happy and attentive. read more

My brother made a reservation weeks in advance, yet we still waited an hour because other parties were still dining. The manager initially told us the wait would be 11 minutes, but that turned into repeated delays with no accountability--just excuses blaming other guests for not leaving. What made it worse was that I had to seek out the manager myself to express my dissatisfaction, rather than him stepping up as a leader. Instead of addressing the issue professionally, he was dismissive and rude, making the entire situation even more frustrating. What should have been a quick, enjoyable meal turned into a miserable three-hour ordeal. This level of mismanagement and poor customer service is completely unacceptable. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone unless serious changes are made. read more
