5 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near Charleston

“Second time there visiting Charleston. We love the margs and service!“

“I'm not going to lie, El Jefe was a backup plan after our original choice for lunch was unexpectedly closed. That being said, I was surprisingly impressed and would recommend consideration for lunch while in Charleston.

They greet you with free chips and salsa. I personally loved the chips and thought the salsa was above average as well. You then get a decent sized menu to select typically tex-mex options. I appreciated being able to mix and match taco styles to try different things. The taco portion was fair and also tasty.

I didn't get a drink but they had plenty of choices. I also saw they offer bull riding, which I'm sure is a hit in the evening. I wish I remembered our servers name, as he was very polite and was training a new server who was also excellent.

Overall, a pleasant surprise. I don't expect to be in Charleston in the near term, but I'll keep this place in mind for lunch on any future visit.“

“Was in town for a day trip, grumpy goat did not disappoint! Food was epic & our server Laura was friendly, fast, and super nice 😊! Defiantly a nice atmosphere to dine at 😀“

“Delicious fresh food the way I want it! Highly recommended!“

“I have been coming to Mex1 for about 10 years now. They have totally re-won our business by revamping the menu and food quality. The tacos are delicious and stuffed full, the variety of choices are better, and our experience the past 2-3 times going in person left us happy and our stomachs full. Highly recommend!“
