“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.“

“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.“

“Stopped in here on a Tuesday night for some tacos. And this was the best place on the island there was cars wrapped around the building in a parking lot in the back. And now we see why very good food? Great drinks, great atmosphere, truly authentic Mexican cuisine. We really liked our Tuesday night. Dinner, it was a absolute hit. Thanks again, Santi.

Carla was our server!!!

“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“

“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!“
