Don't miss these Isle of Palms Mexican restaurant gems.
“I got a Cachitaco, a shrimp taco, and a fish taco. The fish and shrimp tacos were both on a double stacked corn tortilla. I know a lot of places that do this, but I'm just not a fan. The stuff inside was very good though. The cachitaco was AWESOME! 5/5, would eat again. They dip a flour tortilla in the rendered fat from the meat, then char it before filling it up with meat and cheese.“
“Had a lovely lunch here with my sister during the Christmas Holiday - December 21, 2023! Carmen and Juan both served our table, as well. The Carnitas reminded me so much of the great carnitas I've had in California. I highly recommend this hideaway in Mt. Pleasant. Be sure you check it out!!“
“This review is overdue. We visited Mex 1 Coastal Cantina this past October and stopped by for dinner. I ordered the two taco platter and chose Bangin' Shrimp and Baja Fish tacos. It was absolutely amazing. Our server was fantastic - I wish I could remember her name. Just a wonderful dinner. A few days later we were in the area again and went for lunch. We were greeted by the same server and both ordered the same entrees we had previously - they were both equally as good as a few nights ago and the server was just as fantastic. We will be visiting in about a month for a 3 week stay in the area and you can bet Mex 1 will be a frequent stop.“

“Come hungry and leave delighted from this gem where the food, especially the gluten-free options, exceeds expectations. The chips are a crunchy start, perfectly gluten-free, setting the stage for the highlight—Miguel's Fajitas. They're a sizzling, stacked sensation, delicious to the last bite. Even the kids' portions impress with their size and flavor, leaving us with satisfying leftovers for dinner. The staff's knowledge about gluten-free and celiac needs made our dining experience stress-free and thoroughly enjoyable, a rare find that combines attentive service with delectable meals. Overall, it was a successful meal with family.Dietary restrictions: Celiac - Chips are fried in their own fryer. Corn tortillas“
“My girlfriend and I are in town for a week and hit this spot randomly after a beach day with the dog. What a find! The jalepeno shrimp tacos are seriously the best shrimp tacos I've ever had, and the price is not super inflated like a lot of other "Street taco" style places I've been to. Margaritas were on point (prickly pear is hands down the best) and nice and strong. Even with all the choices we have around Charleston for only being here a week we chose to come here multiple times because of how good it was. If I'm ever back, there's no question where I'm coming again.“
“Do not miss out on this food truck. I stopped by after seeing it set up in the same spot every week. The plan was to take it home but I never made it out of the parking space. Housed 2 tacos and a tamale like I've never seen food before. I'll try to take a picture on my next “
“¡Dios mío! Absolutely the most authentic and delicious street style tacos I’ve had outside of DF! No joke…who would expect that in Mt Pleasant SC??? The staff were fantastic and friendly and everyone at my table left fat and happy! Can’t wait to come back and try more dishes.I’m going to be dreaming about these tacos!Kid-friendliness: They have great kid menu options for the chavalitos.“

“Ariz did a fantastic job in addition to becoming a friend that day. Her maturity, glowing personality and experience work well together. Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday evenings I believe she said she is behind the bar. Ha! She even consoled me as my team was struggling to win an ACC basketball game! Great person! Good food drinks and atmosphere!“
“We came for my sons birthday, and they gave him a treat and a sang for him it was so fun for him. Their chicken enchiladas are amazing, and you can tell they pull their own chicken and make it fresh, and their cheese dip is out of this world!!! We fed a family of 5 with drinks and cheese dip for under $100. I totally recommend this place.“
“La Hacienda Mexican Restaurant stole my taste buds and sped up my foodie journey faster than a speedy sombrero! Their food was so great, I contemplated doing a salsa dance with my burrito. And speaking of speed, their service was faster than a jalapeño popper disappearing at a party. I ordered a large beer, and boy, it was large enough to make me feel like a giant among taco-loving mortals. It was so big, I considered using it as a flotation device in case I got swept away by a river of guacamole! Overall, La Hacienda gets two thumbs (and a sombrero) up for the delicious food, speedy service, and their ability to make everything, including their beer, super-sized fun! Ole! ???“
“The food was amazing but it better have been for the price. The sauce on top of the cheese quesodillas was the kind you lick off your fingers. The staff was friendly but the prices were a little higher than my normal. A decent sized portion though.Vegetarian options: I got a cheese quesodilla and enjoyed it.“
“Last meal of 2023! Came in for a late lunch. The service was good & the food excellent. Great menu with a lot of choices. Language barrier at times w/ the server but he was very nice. Overall satisfaction w/ this restaurant. Would definitely come back.“
“What a great place. Girls weekend and this place was perfect. Great food. High energy. Incredible service and any place that has Marie Sharps as the house hot sauce is a win for me. Location was a party town in the middle of a peaceful oasis. Perfect.“
