10/10 The food was amazing! The service is pretty fast lovely ladies working! There was Live music and a pool table! The volume of everything is pretty loud so if you're prone for headaches or get overstimulated fast i wouldn't recommend. But if you are looking for some amazing tacos or simply want chips and a drink this is the place!! read more

Tiki Taco - Margaritas - Mexican Near Me - Summerville, South Carolina

Order 6 tacos for $12, and a street corn. Picked up my order no corn. Called back the lady said she didn't hear me say I wanted corn. So I asked why was the bill $16 she said they charge .35 per taco for grilled onions. As I took a picture of the onions that they charge me $2.10 for is a bunch of crap. I'm so pissed never had to pay for grill onions. I might is well had went to the waffle house for eggs and paid an extra .50 cent. read more

Tiki Taco - Grilled onions they charged me an extra $2.10 for because I ordered 6 tacos. Bullshit. - Mexican Near Me - Summerville, South Carolina

Our first time trying Tiki Taco and we were so impressed. Everything we got was tasty! My pollo taco was a little dry but that's really the only complaint I had. We got a ton of food and a few drinks for $50. Can't beat that. read more

Amazing steak tacos, so much flavor. A definite must go here! The price is right as well

Looking for great tacos and a reasonably priced lunch, this is your spot. I tried the camron, el pastor and carne asada tacos, all three were excellent with their homemade hot sauce. The pollo tamale was great s well highly recommend if you're in the area and need some tacos in your life. In a rush, no problem, they crank out to go orders read more

Order a pastor burrito with refried beans and rice. Everything in the burrito was seasoning, bland and it wasn't hot at all. The side of rice and beans is small. There's no seasoning and was not hot at all. This is not worth coming back to at all! read more

I've eaten here once. Went at lunch time and the place was empty. That worried me. The service wasn't bad. The ambience...well, it was empty besides our table and the servers. The food wasn't bad. It just wasn't what I was expecting, especially for the price. Instead of authentic, it was Americanized. Again, the joint wasn't bad. Just not what I expected. read more

carnitas tacos was the most dry taco I've had bland and no flavor needed 3 glasses of water for 3 tacos

Cool, funky place I stumbled across. Food comes from a food truck, but they have a covered patio and actually send servers to do the running between the seated area and the truck (as well as a kitchen in a building). The tacos were good, I tried a variety. The real winner, at least for me, was the Mexican street corn. This is a definite must have here. Decent prices and if you want a beer with dinner, they got you covered. I would come back. I have had better, but this place is good. I stopped in on a pleasant Monday night, the weather was absolutely perfect, and enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, and the moment. read more

The tacos didn't tiki my fancy here ! Knocking two stars off because the tacos I tried weren't that good. Ever since my palate was enlightened by authentic al pastor tacos in Mexico I have been trying to find the same magic in the states. So far no success . I ordered the al pastor and the carnita taco. The pastor taco was missing the pineapple that traditionally comes with this kind of taco . Also, the description on their menu even reads their pastor taco comes with pineapple but when I asked the waitress, she looked at me like I was loco. The pastor taco was drenched in marinade and just didn't taste good. The carnita had zero flavor and had fatty pieces in it . I was so very sad at how disappointing the tacos were. As for the atmosphere, I loved it . Seems like a local favorite as many people strolled up to the food truck while I was there to place an order to go . The place was busy and it was easy to relax and enjoy the evening breeze. The waitress was sweet and brought the food out in good time. Also, the restroom was clean- that's important! Overall, I would go here again and try something else because I did enjoy the atmosphere and service . Hopefully, I can add more stars next time . read more

I am so glad Larry Y.'s review of Tiki Taco came across my feed this morning because this place is legit. I felt like I was back in Fort Worth's Northside at my favorite taqueria. We got Tacos Asada, Quesadilla Asada and a Taco Americano. The tacos come with limes and radishes on the side and three different salsas. I didn't try the salsas because my tacos were perfectly seasoned and didn't need anything extra. I'm not sure how long we waited but it was a reasonable time considering this is a very busy but small operation. We had to wait longer for a table than we did our food - which we ordered at the window before we got the table. Great food. I will definitely be back to try more items on the menu! read more

When I'm in the area or driving by, Tiki Taco has become one of my favorite places to stop and grab some delicious Mexican food. I've tried most of their Tacos including Pollo, Asada, Carnitas and Americano. They have all tasted excellent with fresh cilantro and chopped unions all wrapped inside their tasty corn tortillas. I like both their hot red sauce (although I prefer even hotter) and their other brownish colored salsa. I'm also a fan of the relish, hot peppers and sides that sometimes come with the tacos (there have been times when our order didn't includes those). Their chips and cheese were great as well. The cheese dip was perfected seasoned and tasted homemade, as well as, very authentic. The chips were probably store bought, but were still good. Other things I tried at Tiki Taco include their Tamales, Burritos and the Tortas (or Mexican hot meat sandwich), which were all great and nothing to complain about. Service: One time we ordered ahead and placed a to-go order. When we arrived, we still had to wait 15 minutes for our food. It seems like they never made it until we arrived and paid for our order. Otherwise, the service has always been good. If you haven't tried Tiki Taco, give them a try either takeout or eat there in one of their outside seating areas. read more

I'd give them 10 stars if I could! Coming from Los Angeles I've been hard pressed to find REAL Mexican food. Hit the Jackpot here and I knew it cuz we were the only Gringos in the place. A tiny little hut with a truck with an A rating. The food coming off this trailer is the real deal! I had 2asada, 1 chorizo, 1 al pastor. Hubby had carnitas street tacos. There is a little market there too. The tacos $1.69 each! Don't be put off by the humble set up. The food is AMAZING! read more

This place for sure doesn't look like much from the road. It's a small hut type area for seating and the kitchen is a cross between a food truck and a hot dog cart. Don't let Amy if that scare you away though! The staff is courteous and the beer is ice cold. I was blown away by the amazing prices and the generous portion sizes. They have so many options for taco fillings and have several vegetarian options. The food itself was delicious and very filling!! I would definitely have to make this a go to anytime I am in the area. read more

God bless this place. The only shack in this state making really Mexican food day in and day out. Karen is amazing! Can't wait to come back!

We stopped in at the very last minute. The kids wanted Burger King...but the adults did not lol. So we passed every place before seeing Tiki Taco on the side of the road. We stopped at the last minute and turned in. Bae went in and ordered us 2 pork, 2 chicken and 2 beef tacos with the green and red sauce on the side. The tacos were BANGIN! The sauces were good but the red was a little too hot. My nose was running lol. The radish was a nice touch and relieved the heat nicely once I was done with the tacos. I looked at the menu and saw so many things I wanted to order too! Needless to say we will be back for more great tacos or even that delicious looking chicken nacho dish I saw on one of the reviews! read more

Forgot to take a picture before taking a bite of my taco but all in all we loved our food. We got an Al pastor burrito, Al pastor taco, asada tacos and a kids hot dog. The prices are so much more reasonable than the majority of Mexican spots in the area and the food was delicious. Our kids' hot dog and fries meal was very decently sized as well. We will be ordering from here again, thank you :-) read more

Tiki Taco - Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Summerville, South Carolina

This was the first I've eaten at this location and it will be the last. It took forever for us to get our food and when we did, my daughter didn't get the rice and beans that she ordered. She had to ask the server for it and she acted as though she didn't hear her order that even after she repeated the order back to her. When she did bring the rice and beans, the rice was cold and looked like it had been made earlier in the day. . It took forever to get the servers attention to ask that the rice to be heated up. She didn't apologize,'just acted annoyed that she was asked to do anything. I understand that most restaurants are understaffed and I sympathize with them, but it doesn't mean that you can't provide good customer service. I really don't know what was worse, the food or the service. read more

Best steak tacos around they have indoor and outdoor seating. The ambience is good eat here on a regular basis.

Coming from Cali, I'm spoiled! Best of everything there including street tacos. After months and months of trying and searching I finally found one that I can accept. The street tacos here are good and their sauce is awesome. The red sauce is spicy and fabulous just the way i like it. My boyfriend likes the tamales. Overall place is a hole in the wall but I'd take great food over a 6 dollar taco at a fancy place that tastes like crap anytime. read more

Awesome prices, authentic tacos and always the same good quality of food. You can get 12 tacos and a few beers for 2 ppl and pay around $30. What's not to love???? My favorite is asada, shrimp and chorizo tacos and beef quesadilla. Street corns are awesome too. I go to this place at least once a week and never been disappointed. I usually make it to go(always ready within 20mins) or dine in with beers or margaritas sometimes too. It's an outside sitting so suggest to go after sun goes down. Friendly servers too. But only one thing, if you go there after 9pm, margaritas are usually sold out. But for the quality of the food and a good service, I will settle for beers! They are definitely my favorite taco place in town. read more

Delicious food. They are always yummy. Even my 4 year old loves tiki taco. Have never been disappointed.and service is always good

When you order a Chicken Quesadilla and it come out as a shrimp quesadilla and you say something and the waitress gets an attitude, takes it back and 3 minutes later brings it back with chicken in the same one and did nothing but take the shrimp out and put chicken in but forgot to get all the shrimp out. Just be lucky my wife is not allergic to shrimp because that was total disrespect and lazy. That was our first and last trip read more

If you're someone for whom ambience is a crucial part of the dining experience, you have to get over that, or you have to go somewhere else to eat. Tiki Taco is about really good Mexican food, and nothing else. And, when I say "nothing else", I mean that they do not have a proper building to dine in per se. They have something like a large garden gazebo or something that has high-top mismatched tables and chairs. The structure you're eating in is open air - it doesn't have windows, and the walls are only half walls. In the winter they put plastic over the open parts to try to keep the wind out. This place gets five stars anyway. The food is that good. In fact, it's so good, that if rating on just food quality alone, this is my favorite restaurant in Summerville. I've had nearly everything on the menu at Tiki Taco, and I've loved every bite of it. It's fantastic. I'm not such an authority that I can tell you how authentic it is, or that they do this really crucial thing that only "real" Mexican chefs know how to do. I'm just saying it's among the best Mexican food I've ever had. read more

I was introduced to authentic Mexican tacos at a small, family owned taqueria in Alabama and was hooked! I didn't want to even order tacos anywhere else because there was no substitution to their tacos. Since moving here about two years ago, I've been looking for that elusive taco that I longed for. I found just that at the Tiki Taco on College Park Rd! It is a food truck with a covered seating area. It isn't fine dining, but it is definitely fine eating! I ordered a Pastor, Carne Asada, and the Lengua tacos. They are served on two corn tortillas (you can request flour, but why would you??), with fresh chopped onions, cilantro, and slices of radishes. Each taco was so flavorful! The meat is very tender and I am so happy to have found my new go to taqueria!! The Michelada is delicious as well, but be prepared-it's a large serving! My husband enjoyed his tacos and was won over as well. We are fans and are looking forward to the next visit! read more

Woke up in a bad mood this morning. Knew I just needed something filling to eat! Been eye-balling Tiki Taco for awhile. Was reluctant because it is literally a tiki hut, tiny brick building and food truck. That's it! Went this morning and now I'm mad I waited so long! My one and only complaint is that there's really no straight forward indication where to order. Some people were ordering at the truck, some at the building. Being that there was a language barrier there, it was just a little bit confusing at first. Whatever! No big deal! Their menu is extensive and authentic. The freshness of the produce just makes it so much better. Saw several people drinking Mexican sodas and different beverages. The chicken on my nachos was very tender and VERY flavorful. I just can't wait to go back again. If Taco Bell is your favorite place to go, this place is not for you. read more

DONT GO HERE. I've given these people four chances and they messed up every time. This time they gave me MINI tacos and charged me full price! They told me the "flour tortillas come like that." Oh so I have to pay the same price for a taco the size of a LIME SLICE. Horrible customer service. Did not apologize, offer a reason or solution. Never going back! read more

Very disappointing. Lacked seasoning. First time trying. I think my expectations were too high.

The authentic tacos I've had from a taco truck my favorite are the corn tortilla tacos an street elote!

We found this spot about a year a ago. It's pretty good but I have to say it's sometimes hit or miss. I hear the one on rivers isn't as good as this location so we never go and this location does hit the spot. Growing up in San Diego and going to TJ, we have pretty high expectations so i really do have to try to be more forgiving. I'm giving them 4 stars because it's the only one we had here that hit the spot and we haven't found one anywhere else. There are times when we order that I'm pretty dissatisfied so I pick off my kids food, and there are times I'm like yesss that was bomb. read more
