Delicious! Some of the best Mexican food I've had in Charleston. The elote was INCREDIBLE. Best I've ever had! Victor was so friendly and kind, amazing service. Generous portions. Outdoor seating available at picnic tables under a tent. A little tienda on site as well with assorted goods and snacks and things.

Victor don’t play no BS, so don’t BS, his food is great!
He hooks it up on the bowls and the meat is always good!

Stopped by for my first visit and asked what's good. Everything! I got the rice bowl with carne asada. This bowl is filled with delicious rice, pintos, cilantro, tomatoes, sour cream, and onion. Don't play with me, this is too good! Tip your chef!
Great authentic Mexican!

The rice bowl was great. Now I am sooo happily full. The seasoning was just right. Will be recommending.

Best tacos, burritos, rice and elotes we’ve ever had. Worth a trip to John’s Island - you won’t regret it.

Street tacos and burrito were so delicious ! Loved the relaxed vibe, and the price was very reasonable. Stop here you won’t regret it. We will be back to support this family and their local shop and food truck for sure.

I had the best tacos here last week 😊👍
I had an Al Pastor Tostado and a Carnitas taco. I ordered a burrito Al Pastor to go for my hubs.
The taco and tostado were fantastic - soft taco corn shell and crispy tostado shell.
I liked the crispiness of the tostado best.
Both had ample toppings and lots of protein.
Very good flavor and heat.
The chef who cooks and serves the food is so nice and friendly ! I will def be back.
It’s actually a nice and Shady little spot on the side of Maybank Hwy. picnic tables are available to sit and enjoy.

One of Johns Island’s hidden gems! Owned by a local for decades, this is some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever eaten! Incredible flavors, textures, etc - everything about it was authentic and delicious! We got the Torta, Tacos, and rice bowl - all were outstanding.

Short wait on Johns Island, which I appreciated ⏱️. Food had decent flavor, but the portions felt thin with hardly any meat in the tacos 🌮🐔. Value missed the mark for me given the protein lightness 💸. I’ll try other options nearby before circling back.

My husband and I stopped by on our last night staying on Seabrook. Wish we would’ve known about it sooner! Amazing food, good prices, and wonderful service. I meant to take a picture of our food, but it didn’t last long.

In town on vacation and took the family to Fairfield’s village. Was so incredibly packed, over an hour wait everywhere - decided to take the 15 min ride to this one of a kind food truck. Perfect decision.
Do yourself a favor and make the trip. Everything was tasty; Beef cheek taco and the rice bowl were especially delicious.
