“I’m from Chicago. So I’m a bit of a food snob. And I can’t say enough good things about this place. The food was outstanding!!! The birria taco was everyone’s favorite but I also had the Baja fish and the grilled shrimp tacos. All of them were delish. And then the true showstopper was the hibiscus margarita that had a cinnamon, salt, and fennel rim. I subbed mezcal for tequila on the drink and it was perfection. Eat here!!!“

But NO, the payment was so quick and small! (No extra fees either) My small family of 3 ate HUGE meals for $30! And it was so good! We HAD TO tip them $40 for all of the good work they did 👏! I was so impressed by their food and service, that I HAD to visit Charleston AGAIN Becuase I loved their food 🍱! RECOMMEND 💯! 1000/10“

We arrived 30 minutes before closing time and honestly we were leery that the staff would be tired and upset and that it would reflect in the quality of the food. But that was not the case. The entire staff was so friendly and professional. The food was hot and absolutely delicious!! We did not feel rushed at all and the restaurant was so pretty and cozy. I had to write a review! I forget our waitress’s name, but she was amazing!! Thank you for fantastic service and delicious food. Five stars!!“

“The Press is a burrito specific restaurant. You order from a window in the front of the building. There is a small patio to eat in the back. The burrito and a diet coke was $20. Anywhere but down town I would say that is too high but being down town that seems about right.
The burrito was excellent!!!
It was tasty and filling.“
