8 Best Mexican Restaurants near Saint Helena Island

“Tucked away inside a vibrant Mexican general store, this unassuming taco shop is a hidden gem! The moment you step inside, you're enveloped in the sights, sounds, and aromas of authentic Mexican culture.

The tacos el pastor are absolute perfection! Juicy, flavorful, and generously portioned, these tacos are a must-try. The combination of tender pork, crunchy pineapple, and spicy onion, all wrapped in a warm tortilla, is pure magic.

Don't let the humble setting fool you – this taco shop serves up some of the most delicious, authentic Mexican cuisine around. Get ready to taste the real deal!“

“My husband and I really enjoyed the food—we had both breakfast and dinner here. While I understand why the reviews are mixed (it is on the pricier side and the atmosphere is pretty basic), it’s a small beach town spot and I’m sure the staff is doing their best. That said, the cocktails were excellent, the food was fresh, and we left feeling full and satisfied.“

“Reserved the upstairs for a dinner for my son's wedding, very cute area perfect for an evet. Staff was absolutely wonderful, they made sure we had everything we needed. The food and drinks were amazing. Would definitely recommend this place“

“So, the first part of the experience was not that great. Waited almost 30 minutes and no one ever even took our drink order. Decided to just leave. I did let another server know on the way out and she asked me to please wait and see the manager. We did. The manager waited on us personally and it ended up being a phenomenal experience. She did everything she could to make it right. The food was excellent! 👌“

“Moes helped cater a birthday party for me and it was all so wonderful. From the pick up time, to the serving ware to the delicious food. Everything was on point. Thank you so much. I give this experience 5 stars.“

“Excellent restaurant! We started with the regular guacamole and a pitcher of margaritas. Both were excellent. Our main course dishes were delicious and overly generous proportions. Our server Abraham was very courteous and attentive. We will be back!“

“Delicious tacos! Had asada, carnitas, and pastor. Red salsa was very good on all the meat, can’t wait to try the salsa verde next time. Restaurant was very clean inside, plenty of seats. Did not wait long at all for the food. I’m local on Lady’s Island so I’ll be dining again soon, Thanks!“

“I pulled over into the parking lot because there was a spider in my car and a lovely lady that worked here helped me kill it! I wish I would’ve gotten her name and I should’ve tipped her. She was so sweet as I was being a baby freaking out. THANK YOU SO MUCH!“
