29 Best Mexican Restaurants near Folly Beach

“Bartenders are amazing! The Hard Kampucha is to die for! And the tacos are spot on!“

“We are a multigenerational group and we all loved everything we ate. The margaritas are made fresh and not from a mix. Our waitress Marissa was extremely attentive and helpful in helping us navigate the menu. Everything she suggested was amazing! This is a must try if you are in Folly. We are looking forward to our next visit!“

“The food was pretty good.“

“Had an absolutely amazing dinner at Matador! Delicious food and drink and we were SO lucky to be served by Sam! He told us incredible stories and gave us tons of tips of what to do! He absolutely made our dining experience something extra and I hope his manager knows what gem he is!“

“When you walk in, you can tell that this place is a local hangout. And that’s a good sign to me.
The service is friendly and helpful.
I tried the habanero pineapple drink. I was expecting it to be spicier. But I love spice so maybe it’s normal for y’all. I ordered tuna and bang bang, shrimp tacos, and pork belly ( current taco if it sells a daughter gets donated to a charity ), I was pleasantly surprised with my whole meal. It was excellent!
Love, the fact that they give back to charity. They also have trivia night I believe on Tuesdays. They also have taco Tuesday where they have a couple of varieties of their tacos for three dollars apiece.
I would gladly come back to this place and I sure will.“

The customer service was just as impressive. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The combination of excellent food, great service, and a warm atmosphere makes this a place I'll definitely visit again.

“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“

“So, our first visit brings a mixed review. We were visiting in Mt Pleasant and decided Mex food was the plan. Santi's was close so we headed there. We were immediately seated outside where we wanted to be which was great. Drinks flower quickly as did the chips and dip and appetizer. Orders were placed, and then the wait began. I'd say the food itself was very very good. Tasty, good quality, and not your average fare. 5 stars on the food. That said, perhaps they were short handed but the server team outside was largely non-existent. Perhaps they came by once or twice and eventually we got some refills, but we waited so long to get our bill that we eventually got up and went to the back door patrons aren't supposed to use and waited for an employee to notice us. We eventually settled our bill and left. Atmosphere inside was eclectic, but looking run down. Service wasn't great. The quality of food would bring us to give it another chance should we be in town again sometime.“

“chicken tortillas soup is amazing,!!“

“The service, food, and experience was absolutely great and I reccomend this place to anyone in charelston.“

“An authentic neighborhood pub feel!!!!! Very friendly atmosphere!!!!! Nice beer and whiskey selection Wonderful food“

“The food is consistantly prepared well. It is the best Mexican restaurant in that part of Charleston SC and in West Ashley. I do not have any experience in Mount Pleasant with Hispanic food. The atmosfere is ok. They don't take their time enough and we miss telling them sometimes what we want to add on. You sometimes have to chase someone down. That is due to the management there pushing volume over all to his team. But the food is very good.“

“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!“

“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 ❤️“

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