    Jumbo Burrito, charro beans and rice
    Sherri J.

    We have passed this little gem so many times and have said "we need to try Taco Kitchen"! Well today was the day and we were not disappointed! This is authentic Mexican food! I had the jumbo burrito and it was jumbo. Filled with delicious steak...not like the strips of steak like most Mexican restaurants use but big slices of tender steak, peppers & onions (that weren't cooked to death, but still had some crunch), pico, refried beans, lettuce and sour cream. It was served with the BEST charro beans I have ever eaten and rice. All of this for only $11.50 and I could not eat it all! My husband ordered the Mexican-Sampler which included 1 beef enchilada, 1 crunchy taco, 2 flautas, 1 soft taco (which was huge), refried beans, rice, guacamole lettuce and sour cream. Tons of food.... He could not finish all of his either. Don't be fooled by the lack of cars our front, customers were coming and going the entire time we were eating lunch. If you haven't tried this place, you are missing out!

    Chips with cheese sauce and a few things from the salsa bar

    I originally planned to eat lunch tacos here but when I saw they had breakfast burritos, I had to try them. I went with the potatoes ala mex. They reminded me of the meximelts Taco Bell used to sell years ago but with potatoes. Sooooo good. I ate two and they were pretty big- very full and almost couldn't finish last few bites- but I powered through. The tortillas the tacos were made with were amazing too I would eat them solo with some honey. We also go the cheese sauce for my youngest. I loved the sauce itself but my only gripe would be about the chips. They were thicker than I prefer my chips and were bordering on stale. The inside isn't anything fancy. It reminded me of some taquerias I used to go to on Fort Worth's North Side, which made me very nostalgic. The employee I gave my order to was very nice and the wait was fine for a small establishment. Will definitely be back to try lunch tacos.

    We had lunch at Taco Kitchen right after church since I have been wanting to try the food at this restaurant and it didn't disappoint us at all! The place might not look special from the outside and they serve your food in to go boxes but the quality and taste of their food is exceptional. The street tacos, beef fajitas, and their tamales were the bomb! The homemade salsa sauces and green salsa sauce were amazing. The food were fresh and made to order. They food really remind me on mexican food we ate during our trip in Mexico years ago. I recommend this little gem of Mexican food in West Ashley.

    The best part of the tacos was the authentic corn tortillas which had a nice nutty, sweet corn flavor. The wife and I each ordered 2 tacos, one grilled and one fried. The fried taco was very large and the better of the two. The plate came with a side of flavored red rice with cheese on top which we both enjoyed. There was a salsa sauce bar with a nice variety of options. Everything was good, not nothing stood out as amazing.

    My husband, 3 Year old and I stopped in yesterday between lunch and dinner. There were a couple tables taken and they seemed to be busy hopefully with takeout. When you walk in you order at a counter, pay and then they go back and cook it and bring it out. Everything is in take out containers and let's talk about the salsa bar! Yummmmm! I love when places do this! We ended up ordering chips (not included) and rice for our son. And my husband got the Acapulco Burrito: worlds famous rice, beans, lettuce, guacamole, sour cream, shrimp, chicken and steak fajita, topped with a green sauce and usually white cheese sauce but it wasn't ready. And I for once wanted a little bit of the norm and ordered their classic burrito with ground beef, refried beans, rice, lettuce, pico, sour cream, and cheese inside served with chips. I ordered mine no sour cream but added guacamole. And we grabbed a ton of salsas, pickled jalapeños, and omg their mango pico was insane! So fresh and my son also ate a ton! I love supporting local and it doesn't get better than this! They make their own tortillas, salsas, etc. I really look forward to trying their breakfast. Go support!

    You order at the counter then pick up in the dining area. There are plexiglass barriers.

    While we have our share of Mexican restaurants, Taco Kitchen brings street tacos, burritos and fajitas to West Ashley. My husband and I tried it after in-person absentee voting at Seacoast Church recently. Tacos are my go-to at Mexican restaurants, and these fish tacos didn't disappoint. The fish tacos are $4 each and the size of a small burrito. The tortillas are homemade, hot, and delicious, and the fish is seasoned well. My husband had the carne asada plate, which he said was tender. He tried the steak street tacos on another occasion and says this is his favorite spot for authentic Mexican. Our bill was under $30, and you get a lot for your money. I returned a few weeks later to try the jumbo burrito with shrimp, which lived up to its "jumbo" name, especially for the low price of $10.50. The salsa bar has about ten different kinds of salsa ranging from mild to very spicy. I appreciated the disposable gloves at the salsa bar, as well as the hand sanitizer and plexiglass coverings while we deal with COVID. Taco Kitchen is more of a takeout spot and doesn't have a bar- and we're fine with that since we're not eating inside restaurants right now anyway. The Savannah Hwy. location is very convenient to 526 with a red light to help you turn left leaving the parking lot.

    Delicious, authentic, adorable, casual Mexican. Everything homemade, including salsa from salsa bar. Had breakfast burritos and can't wait to come back for lunch or dinner to try additional menu items. Friendly, fast service!

    BEST tacos in the whole east coast!!! And awesome salsa bar!!! I would go here everyday if I lived here. Sadly just passing through. If anyone asks me what to do in South Carolina I'll say Taco Kitchen!!!

    I was in the area and wanted to grab something quick to eat. Found this spot on Yelp and saw that it was well reviewed. I swung by and ordered the street tacos, 2 steak and 2 fish tacos to go. It didn't take long for my order to come out and I was surprised to see it came with a small side of pinto beans. The food was delicious. I will be stopping by here again the next time I'm in town and I will eat in and try some more items from the menu. Highly recommend!

    Assorted yummy looking sauces.

    This is a hidden gem, located just before the on-ramp for the 526 on 17/Savannah Highway heading towards Charleston. There's a tiny dining space and I imagine much of the business is take out. The food is fresh, fast, and utterly delicious. There's an array of sauces (I tried them all!) to add to your dish; such lovely flavors. If you enjoy authentic food, make a point to visit Taco Kitchen.

    Delicious food! So glad to finally be able to try this spot out. I ordered the lunch special and it was a fajita bowl, tortillas, and a drink. Seasoning was great and I was very pleased with the meal. It's easy to miss the location, and it is on the right if you're on 17 heading towards downtown right before 526. A great local business with delicious food!

    Steak street tacos
    Tabitha D.

    A lovely family owned business that genuinely cares about their customers and serves only the freshest and finest authentic homemade food crafted by hand down to the tortillas! They deserve all of 5 stars and more. DON'T MISS THIS ONE!

    Bean & cheese taco. Very tasty.
    Elisa M.

    Food was fantastic. I wish they offered more things as a burrito though, like carnitas burritos. They do have others on the menu. Their sauces were flavorful. I asked if i could get a carnitas burrito. She said, taco? i said, burrito, if that's possible. Since carnitas tacos are on the menu. If they don't have that then i'd get a bean and cheese burrito. She rang up a side order of beans and a carnitas burrito. I said, it's 2 burritos. She rang up 2 carnitas with the side order. I then spoke Spanish that it was 2 different burritos. In which, she frustratingly replied with, bean & cheese taco? I said again, burrito. That was a strange encounter. But the food was worth it. She did get a carnitas burrito made for me. Maybe stick to just what the menu says to avoid confusion.

It's a simple system that makes the whole experience feel effortless. Our group's go-to order is the trio appetizer to share, followed by one or two tacos each. Everything is flavorful and just the right portion size, making it easy to mix and match different tacos each visit. Bartaco is almost always busy, so expect a 10-30 minute wait during peak times. Thankfully, with so many shops nearby, the wait goes by quickly and is well worth it. Between the convenient location, good food, and laid-back atmosphere, it's a spot we find ourselves coming back to again and again.

Last night I placed a large order: burrito de birria, two tamales, pozole, large bag of chips , guacamole, drinks . After driving 30 minutes back to my hotel, I opened the bag to find the tamales were completely missing. Then I tried the pozole, and it was so salty it was absolutely inedible. On top of that, they didn't include a single condiment--just a bland, overly salty soup. I tried calling for 30 minutes straight--no answer. Left a voicemail--no call back. Not that night, not the next morning. Completely ignored. The next day, I went in person to give them a chance to make it right. I had my order number and explained everything clearly. Instead of even attempting to help, they refused to do anything without a physical receipt. No effort to look up the order, no accountability, no customer care. Just excuses. Expecting someone to drive 30 minutes back with uneaten food just to prove a mistake is ridiculous. I ended up having to go to Wendy's just to eat dinner after spending money here--that alone says everything. Mistakes happen, but the way a business handles them is what matters. This place clearly doesn't care once they have your money. This wasn't my first issue here, but it will definitely be my last. Antes hacía un punto de parar aquí cada vez que estaba en la ciudad por trabajo--pero después de esta experiencia, no vuelvo. Anoche hice un pedido grande: burrito de birria,dos tamales, pozole, bolsa de chips guacamole y bebidas. Después de manejar 30 minutos de regreso a mi hotel, abrí la bolsa y me di cuenta de que los tamales no estaban. Luego probé el pozole y estaba tan salado que era completamente incomible. Para colmo, no incluyeron ni un solo complemento--solo la sopa, sin nada más. Intenté llamar durante 30 minutos seguidos--nadie contestó. Dejé un buzón de voz--nadie me regresó la llamada. Ni esa noche, ni a la mañana siguiente. Totalmente ignorado. Al día siguiente fui en persona para darles la oportunidad de arreglar la situación. Tenía mi número de orden y expliqué todo claramente. En lugar de ayudar, se negaron a hacer algo porque no tenía el recibo físico. Ni siquiera intentaron buscar la orden, cero responsabilidad, cero atención al cliente. Puras excusas. Esperar que alguien maneje 30 minutos de regreso con comida que ni siquiera se puede comer es ridículo. Terminé teniendo que ir a Wendy's solo para poder cenar después de haber gastado dinero aquí--eso lo dice todo. Los errores pasan, pero la forma en que un negocio responde es lo que realmente importa. Aquí claramente no les importa el cliente una vez que ya pagaste. No es la primera vez que tengo un problema aquí, pero definitivamente será la última.
