The food was pretty decent tasting. Not awesome, but definitely not bad. The burrito was just quite small. I would say it had about half of the ingredients of a normal size Chipotle burrito. If you have the option of this place or chipotle choose chipotle.

Good food but the service each time that I’ve come has been rude and uninterested. I am a customer who always sure to say please and thank you to my servers as I have worked in the food industry before and understand it can be hard. I was disappointed as was my table.

The bartender was really nice. The drinks were standard. As far as food, I can’t comment on the tacos, but the chips have a good seasoning on them. The little patio outside is cute with the string lights and great for dining when the weather is pleasant.

I held off eating here because of the reviews. I’m a Texas gal living here in Charleston and I’m particular about my Tacos! Had some friends stay at an Airbnb across the street and it was convenient so I finally went. I’ve now been twice in less than a week. Everything is so fresh. Well flavored. Delicious. Cocktails are lovely. Staff was helpful and attentive both times. I also learned that some of the bad reviews here are dishonest. I’m here to say- ignore them and go. Casual, fun, and yummy for my tummy!

And find this place near our Airbnb rental and was amazed at how great the Mexican food was. Recommend getting the jalapeno margaritas they're awesome.

Went for dinner on a Friday night. There were open tables, we sat outside. It was all pretty good, had shrimp, asada, and chorizo tacos and chips and queso. The shrimp tasted a little old, it definitely was fresh. But all the other food was fantastic!! And came out really quick. The water and drinks weren't refilled very quick. Overall I would recommend a visit, just not the shrimp.

I live in Charleston and used to love the pink cactus. However, they have changed several menu items and are now using cheaper quality ingredients. The chips are no longer the puffier chips. They are ones you can just buy at a store. Their red salsa used to be an orange/red salsa that was so smoothe and yummy. However, it now is chunky and tastes like they opened a bottle of Pace picante. They also used a different cut of steak for their asada than they previously did. I asked when the change was made and our waitress had only been working for a month and did not know. Our order was wrong when we got it, but the staff did fix it pretty quickly. The atmosphere is the same, but as someone who has visited many times it’s sad to see the quality go downhill but the price still reflects the better quality ingredients. I probably won’t be back.

Was so excited to try this place but was really disappointed. We each ordered a different protein for our tacos and outside of the steak tacos, we all really didn’t like ours at all. The chicken was dry and strange tasting, carnitas were sweet like they’ve been flavored with sugar or jelly, and the shrimp tacos were just nasty. The queso was watery, but the red salsa was fresh and tasty.
I think they may be trying too hard to be different and aren’t realizing the flavors aren’t complimenting the meal.

It's not the fanciest place in town, but the food was very good, loved the casual Iaid back atmosphere. Fish taco, chicken taco, wife had a shrimp bowl which she said was excellent. Very good attentive service. Best value for our money, so far in Charleston.
