“Lot of vegetarian choices. All of the menu can be made vegetarian and then you can add your meat to the dishes. Being vegetarian that was very nice to see. The place is really small and the parking upfront is limited but since it's in a shopping complex you can park there and walk. We ordered Santa Fe and California burrito and both tasted good. We ordered chips and salsa and it was good too. Service was good. Food came out in good time.

Vegetarian options: Most dishes can be vegetarian. You have the option to add tofu and grilled vegetables“

“This was a great little texmex place near our hotel we chose on a whim. I had the Texican Pho with shrimp. It's a unique and delicious dish I chose at the advice of the waitress. It's basically a mound of pasta in the center surrounded by Mexican fixings which I mixed up all together. My wife had the two taco platter with a beef and a shrimp taco. They are sizable tacos that come with rice and beans. While they were both delicious, we found the beef to be dry and just a tad hard. Made us wonder if it was reheated. The shrimp in both dishes was perfect.

Our waitress, Ashley (hope I remember that correctly) was delightful. Her advice was reliable; her knowledge of the area and history was detailed and engaging, and her service was thoughtful, attentive, and cheerful. She didn't mind taking time at all to help orient our after lunch walk and talk a little history. We were very pleased.

Music inside was a little loud so we ate outside. Perfect weather, the street not busy, very comfortable and relaxing. Seems like a lot of the joints on King Street like loud music, perhaps because of the college students, so the outdoor option is appreciated.

Good place to eat and reasonably priced for King Street. We barely made it 20 bucks a piece but if you want appetizers and drinks it's gonna bump you up into the next price tier.

Parking: Any historic district in any major city from Maine to Florida is going to be very short on parking and Charleston is no exception.“

“I dont typically write reviews but I will say this, I was pleasantly surprised on the food at Mex 1 for dinner tonight. All I can say is fresh and great tasting that has a
Mexican flare, did I mention fresh. All there sauces were great if you dont try there food you are making a mistake.“
