“Bomb whole in the wall spot. So worthy to check out. Around the corner from its sister restaurant and track ice cream, and a short walk from king street. The Cochinita pibil tacos rocked my world. From the homemade tortilla - corn or flour it’s pressed homemade. Perfect vehicle to sop up the juices. The choice of salsas is top notch.
Quesabirria tacos are the perfect homy feels grab on a sunny or rainy day.
The aqua fresca’s are DELICIOUS. The hibiscus is my favorite.
If you’re craving something sweet there is a nice selection of Mexican candy and treats when cashing out.
Friendly staff and cool hole in the wall vibes.“

“This is the absolute BEST in CHARLESTON! 🌺 🌊 Me and my family love this place! Great service, food, and environment! It was so great there, I thought the check was going to come back so EXPENSIVE!! 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“

“Fun Tex-Mex restaurant. Food was good - We had chicken soup and guacamole, both great. Fun atmosphere decorations. Usual bar with TVs showing sports. But I'm partial to the USS Enterprise, BB8, and Ada Lovelace on display. And a mural with Santos (Samson) from Mystery Science Theater.“

“We had a large group on a very busy weekend in Charleston and they were amazing!! Food was delicious, margaritas were perfection and they even went out of their way to help celebrate a birthday and graduation ❤️“

“I came with my Co-workers we got several different things, first off the vibes is HIGH! Food was outstanding everything was prepared greatly. The flavor, aroma and looks were everything and more. The only negative was that my Co-worker said his dish was proportioned wrong and for me my favorite taco (Al pastor) was ok very well made but the flavor was missing sadly. Other than that honestly the best Mexican restaurant I've been too and I love Mexican! My black video is of the music so you can get that the mood was LIT!“

“Amazing atmosphere, open air, great food and good service! Will be back!“
