The margaritas were probably the worst we have ever had. The food not that great. My husband got sirloin tacos. Three piece of meat with fat on them really dry. I think they want you to fill up on the cheep black bean. I got the bacon cheese burger no taste. Our son do fish it was ok would never order again. Good place to eat chip’s and salsa. Get a beer.

Bar hopped a few places while visiting Charleston. Overall between the food and drinks everything was better than most of the places. Stayed in town for the week and ended up returning multiple times over the past week. Sebastian and the rest of the Bar staff is great and very friendly too! Great location in downtown Charleston, close to everything. Would definitely return next time in town!

Amazing prices and great quality. You cannot beat it. Look at the prices of the happy hour. The atmosphere and decorations there seems to bring you back to Spain. Unbelievable gem that we found the walking by. . We were attended by waitress, CJ…..she was as amazing. Very attentive and offered a great southern style authentic customer service. 100 stars!

Food and vibes were poor

Read a couple reviews that made this place worthy to try. We were not disappointed! Had no reservations but the wait time was only 15 minutes. The staff was excellent. From the hostesses to our server. Attentive and very informative about the menu. One in our party has to be gluten free and the chef was very accommodating! The food was delicious! There was a bit of p-zazz to the meats, and along with some mild jalapeños it made our mouths happy! Not huge tequila fans as they have an enormous selection, but my Cadillac margarita was just right! We stayed local so it was an easy walk from our hotel. If you're looking for good Mexican food in a restaurant with a great vibe and lovely decor, don't miss this the opportunity to go here.

Walking around Charleston, there are so many places to try. The vibe led me to a seat and I was really happy. So much to select from. I had the steak habanero burrito. A tad hot and spicy, just fine for me. Service rocked.

Outstanding food!Steak with beans,corn,rice impressed me.Im not into spanish/mex food,but now I'm in! Burger and French fries was too good to left after we pay our bill.We got it in the box and finished it home with a good appetite. We are going to visit this cool restaurant/bar much often now.Next time I'll choose the best tequila cocktail for sure! The interior design is so antique and remind me Excalibur era.

We took our daughter here for her birthday and there was ZERO complaint from our party of 10! Everything we order from drinks, starters, dinners and deserts were all amazing. The ambience of the restaurant is beautiful and I love the fire place at the entrance. So different from any other Spanish restaurant I've been too. Great fit for Charleston.

Not a big tequila drinkers but those margaritas were on point. The food is unreal. I highly recommend the paella. Our bartender was very personable and attentive.

Great New Mexican spot in DT CHS! This was a needed addition to the DT restaurant scene. We ordered chips & salsa, bean dip, and a mix match of the enchiladas. All exceptional. I'd opt for a regular margarita next time over the skinny.

Bartending service wasn’t good. Felt rush and bartender was too busy but it seemed slow. We was looking forward to the mezcal flights and have a full experience but we settled with nachos and 1 drink. It seemed that we were an inconvenience for her at the bar. I hope the bartender wasn’t judging us on the way we looked.

Very dark inside. I had to use my phone to see menu. Staff was not kind at host stand. Felt very unwelcome. Bathrooms were dirty and the floors were dirty in the waitstaff area.
