“Just had the most delicious Mexican food at this hidden gem of a restaurant! ?? The menu is full of authentic dishes and the drinks are absolutely delicious. The place may be small, but the taste of the food was definitely worth it. However, I must warn you, if you're not used to eating spicy food, you might want to steer clear of the green enchiladas. ?#MexicanCuisine #AuthenticFlavors #HiddenGem #DeliciousFood #SmallButMighty #SpicyFood #FoodieFinds #MustTry #TasteOfMexico #EnchiladaLove#roofersincharleston #theroofibgladyI highly recommend giving this place a try if you're looking for a true taste of Mexico. You won't be disappointed! ??✨?“

“Day 1: Got the Carne Asada burrito and two tacos, lengua & carnitas. The portion size for the tacos was beyond generous! They were very delicious as well, first time for me having the Lenguas. The burrito was equally generous in size and the flavors were amazing. The red sauce and green sauces were very tasty and the red sauce has a little heat which I liked.

Day 2: Got the Cabeza Torta. The portion size was huge, and the meat was so tender. The flavor was very good as well. Definitely will be returning for lunch soon!

I felt the $$ I spent there was appropriate for the amount and quality of my meals.“

“Best authentic Mexican in the CHS region, and cheap AF. Sopes are corn fried platters of amazing. Burritos are almost 2lbs for $7. Juice is fresh squeezed from honeydew, nance, etc, and served in half pitchers with a straw. No menu and no English, so have an idea of what you want going in and a couple back ups in case they are out. Downsides are no pupusas, no tortilla chips, and no tamales, but still the best Mexican food I've found anywhere near the peninsula and worth the travel time. Staff is super nice despite knowing minimal or no English, they'll work with you patiently and smile! Sopes de cabeza is probably my favorite meal, so much beefy corny flavor, wow. Tacos and tortas are great. Seafood soup is overflowing with whole crabs. Haven't had anything bad yet! So be adventurous. The red and green sauces they make in house are amazing. Red is spicy smoked chili and green is less spicy, cilantro dominant. I'm always the only white person in there and always feel welcome. Awesome place!“

“Holy moly! I was ASTOUNDED at how delicious the food was here!! I ordered the Texas Rice and it was so freakin good!! The shining star of this dish was the chicken which was cool to absolute perfection. I’m not kidding. It was tender and delicious the way chicken SHOULD be. We followed up with the house made flan and that was FANTASTIC! Truly I’m embarrassed at how delicious everything was and my earnest surprise at this. I WILL be back.“

“Located behind Little Caesars on Remount Road in a food truck. It is the best Mexican food I've ever had, I've been coming here for 15 years. We get four Chicken tostadas or 4 tacos for $20 with black beans,onions, pulled seasoned chicken, fresh sliced avocado, tomatoes, sour cream sauce and homemade hot sauce. Several drink selections -- Horchata is our favorite. Exceptionally clean with outdoor seating and a very clean restroom. It is a little pricey but it's all fresh and made to order. They will also cater for parties.

Parking: Located in the Little Caesars parking lot on Remount Rd so plenty of parking.

Kid-friendliness: They have a screened in outdoor seating area with fans for kids to run around and a restroom.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's a food truck in a parking lot so no steps.“
