“Highly recommend this place“

“Great atmosphere, food and drinks!!“

“Bomb whole in the wall spot. So worthy to check out. Around the corner from its sister restaurant and track ice cream, and a short walk from king street. The Cochinita pibil tacos rocked my world. From the homemade tortilla - corn or flour it’s pressed homemade. Perfect vehicle to sop up the juices. The choice of salsas is top notch.
Quesabirria tacos are the perfect homy feels grab on a sunny or rainy day.
The aqua fresca’s are DELICIOUS. The hibiscus is my favorite.
If you’re craving something sweet there is a nice selection of Mexican candy and treats when cashing out.
Friendly staff and cool hole in the wall vibes.“

“Small family owned Mexican restaurant. Limited seats available. The chips and salsa was good.. I ordered the fries with beef and cheese. It was ok. Wasn't enough seasoning. It tasted bland. Then I got there famous fajita with chicken add extra cheese. That was ok as well. Just wish it had more flavor. But overall it was just ok .“

“Stopped in here on a Tuesday night for some tacos. And this was the best place on the island there was cars wrapped around the building in a parking lot in the back. And now we see why very good food? Great drinks, great atmosphere, truly authentic Mexican cuisine. We really liked our Tuesday night. Dinner, it was a absolute hit. Thanks again, Santi.

Carla was our server!!!

“Great Mexican food and excellent service. Closest to real food I’ve tasted this side of the border. Awesome tacos de lengua and flan“

“I’m a Texas gal living here in Charleston and I’m particular about my Tacos! Had some friends stay at an Airbnb across the street and it was convenient so I finally went. I’ve now been twice in less than a week. Everything is so fresh. Well flavored. Delicious. Cocktails are lovely. Staff was helpful and attentive both times. Casual, fun, and yummy for my tummy! Go!“

“They have Great margaritas!“

“The food is fantastic here. We had the street tacos, a couple different variations of them, and they were just absolutely wonderful. The street corn was great as well. And the rice and beans you cannot go wrong. Our server, Ben was fantastic as well.“

“It was delicious and had no problem with the food. Service was a little pushy to order and get us out the door and it did take a while for the food to come out but most likely cause they were busy. Otherwise it’s a decent place either way a good price.“

“The service is spectacular. Ben the curley haired bartender is the best. He has the best personality and smile. Every time I’ve been in it feels like I am really welcomed. Thanks for the great afternoon.“

“Ordered the barbacoa burrito for dine- in. It took 32 minutes to get the burrito. There were 4 other people in the restaurant. I’m assuming they were busy with delivery orders. The burrito was OK. The rice was entirely over-cooked and crunchy. I let the staff know, and they did offer to make another burrito or comp a dessert. I appreciated their offer to make it right.“

“Highly recommend for Mexican cuisine, best in town! Every dish is delicious and the tequila espresso martini is amazing!!“

“I came in yesterday alone while in town for business for lunch shortly after opening. I got a great parking spot and seat. The restaurant was clean and very inviting. I had Alejandra for my server. She was wonderful! I ordered the lunch special number 3 and a small guacamole dip with Alejandra's recommendation because I didn't want it to be too spicy which is why I didn't order the guacamole made at the table. I also ordered the sweet tea which was very good, just the right amount of sweetness. The food came out very quick which was my hope by ordering off the lunch menu. It was very delicious especially the guacamole! The restrooms were one stall (one for women, one for men, and one family). I used the family since the women was taken. It was very clean and nice. I will absolutely be back when it town. Great job Mezcal!!!!!“

“Amazing vibe and delicious Quesabirria taco with the millionaire margarita! We came post DMB show and it was a continuation of the party! Great service! Love it!“

“This is the absolute BEST in CHARLESTON! 🌺 🌊 Me and my family love this place! Great service, food, and environment! It was so great there, I thought the check was going to come back so EXPENSIVE!! But NO, the payment was so quick and small! (No extra fees either) My small family of 3 ate HUGE meals for $30! And it was so good! We HAD TO tip them $40 for all of the good work they did 👏! I was so impressed by their food and service, that I HAD to visit Charleston AGAIN Becuase I loved their food 🍱! RECOMMEND 💯! 1000/10“

“We love our local LA HA. The staff is always great and service is always fast.“

“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.“

“Picked up some pastries and a fresh baguette that are hard to find in North Myrtle Beach. Packed up some ice a Rack of Lamb and some Salmon. The Salad Bar and the Hot Bars are closed due to Covid but you can get some freshly made sandwiches, hot specials and sushi made for you. Good soup too!“

“Amazing atmosphere, open air, great food and good service! Will be back!“

“We go here every 2 weeks. Their Fajitas are awesome!! Tacos and burritos are also great! The fried Ice Cream is outstanding. Salsa is yummy as well!! Stop by and try this nice Mexican restaurant!! It is not busy except at times on Friday and Saturday evenings. They take great care of us each time!! Many Thanks!!!“

“Went on a Tuesday evening and it wasn't busy at all! Perfect for a group of 7. The salsa is delicious and the fish tacos were spectacular. Everyone enjoyed their meals (ceviche, steak fajitas, steal quesadilla, cheesesteak burrito and the bowl), plates were cleaned and bellies were full.“
