Pork Carnitas Tacos with Lime
Guacamole

“Ordered the mole negra Oaxaca, my friend got the carnitas, and my wife got the birra bowl. Got 2 drinks, one seasonal and 1 of the normal menu. The place is very nice on the inside. The staff was pleasant. The drinks and food were good. My friend got the frozen tequila drink that was really good and my wife got the Michelada that was served in an interesting way. Overall the only complaints are minor. All the food needed salt and would have been really helped if they were served with a lime wedge or two to brighten the dishes up. And the birra was a little dry and bland.“

“Excellent service, great food, generous portions, and very inexpensive. We went for an early dinner and didn't have cocktails, but others around us had drinks and they looked good as well. I was so excited to get my birria fix and I definitely did (birria tacos). Burritos were large. It's a bit out of the way (for me) but will definitely be back.“

“If you’re visiting North Charleston this is a spot you absolutely cannot miss. We needed a place to get a quick lunch before our massages & we decided on this place. We were seated immediately by the sweetest woman who ended up taking care of us during our hour dining with them. My husband ordered a blonde lager on tap, which he had said was the best beer he had received during our time here. My husband ordered the shrimp/crawfish po’boy which he stated was delicious and packed with every bite & I ordered a shrimp basket which threw just about every shrimp basket I’ve ever had out of the park. The pecan cornbread that comes with the basket is honestly a desert in itself, and I think if it asked me to marry it I just might’ve. We got the beignets for desert, & as someone that’s been to NOLA these are the closest ones I’ve had to beignets in NOLA. Smaller in size but fluffy perfection after a large lunch! The woman who took care of us was definitely our favorite part about this place, I only wish we had remembered her name but we will most certainly be back just to look for her again. If you ever want to be greeted & treated like family this is the place to go.“

“The food isnt bad but it isnt great either. However thr amount of food you get for the price is fantastic. LAS LUPITAS went viral on tik tok for the size of the burritos. Its definitely worth the price. The tacos weren't bad either. If I need a lot of food for cheap...im getting a burrito. If I want a decent taco they arent bad either. I will definitely go again.“

“My Family first tried the North Charleston location a few months back, and as non meat or dairy consumers, we were pleasantly surprised at the variety that Azul Mexicano had to offer. As a lover of Mexican food that is authentic, I definitely recommend this place for food, service, and atmosphere. The next location was James island which was even better! Our server greeted us with a smile every time that she approached and made sure to check on us often. Although the music was quite loud inside(even in the restroom) we had the option of eating outside on a beautiful day. The bugs were pretty much non-existent, and the traffic noise was no issue as we sat and ate. The food was also perfect for two children ages 6 and under.“

“This is the best Mexican food in Charleston hands down! Homemade tortillas, and salsas. The tacos have plenty of meat and the meat is flavorful. This is the place with the sabor! Go here, you won’t regret it. The price is good and the food is great. It also has a nice sitting area and the truck itself is very clean. This place is bueno, bonito, & barato. I tried it once and couldn’t help myself from going back a second time in the same week. Hands down the best.“

“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.“

“I love tacos and am from Texas home of the taco. I like off the beaten path home in the wall spots. I also like them to have a green and red sauce. I tried this place and had the beef tacos and pork tacos. With cilantro and onions, and cheese. They didn’t have flour tortillas at first I was disappointed because they only had corn. However, these were very good corn tortillas. The only other one I’ve not had a break on me while eating my taco other than a restaurant in Austin, Texas, Matt El Rancho. I was told that the corn tortillas are handmade and I enjoyed these tacos very much. Sauces were good too. Red was more hot, but I like mixing them. I’d come back here when I visit Charleston.“
