24 Best Mexican Restaurants near Charleston

“Very friendly staff excellent food and reasonable prices.“

“We went to the 25th Street location while my dad played a show with a band, and we had been there the whole time, ordered food and everything. But after the guy took my drink order, he came up to our table and yelled at us saying we didn't pay to get in. We were told by the owner we didn't have to pay since we were with the band. we politely explained what we were told, But had said if we had to then we would, no problem. But instead of standing by what he said, the owner proceeded to YELL at Me saying if I was going to cause an issue then they'd ask us to leave. I felt so uneasy and pissed, because my fiance and I had been polite and everything the whole time. and the fact he was acting like he was only talking to me that way. when my fiance talked to him his tone changed. My stepmom was also with us, told my dad, and they haven't played at that location since. It was a NIGHTMARE.. plus from what I have heard from MULTIPLE people, they have let their waiter follow girls into restrooms and touch them inappropriately and just letting him go right back to work even AFTER the law was involved. This place needs to be investigated, shut down, or something! It is not safe..“

“DON'T WALK, RUN TO NELA'S! This is the best food I've ever had. The shredded chicken taco salad and yuca frita is to die for. The place is owned by the post precious family. Three generations work there. You won't find a better spot in town.“

“My girlfriend and I ate here, and we both agree ... this is the best Mexican food we have ever eaten. From the salsa to our dinner and to our desserts, it was absolutely incredible. Five Stars all the way. We highly recommend El Cazador Mexican Restaurant.“

“Good wait staff very prompt“

“The food was amazing and server was nice and service was great“

“Literally the best Mexican food we’ve had since we moved here 3 years ago!! That steak burrito tasted so FRESH!“

“The red Salsa tasted a little watered down, but the chips were great! My beef nachos were ok. The beef didn't have much texture or consistency it was just kinda mushy. They did load my nachos down with a good amount of cheese dip. My fiancé's shrimp quesidilla was good and loaded down with shrimp. The service was great! They are located on hwy 411 next to Ken's Casuals shoe store. I would eat there again. It seemed clean oh and they have an outdoor patio.“

“Great food and presentation. Superb service. Highly recommend!“

“I had the Nachos Fajitas Texas I think it was called. It was perfect!! Some places drown the Nachos in queso sauce but these were just right! The veggies were nicely grilled and the chicken, steak and shrimp were all tender and tasty. An added plus was the restroom was clean and tidy.“

“Gave it a try tonight and I definitely recommend checking them out for some delicious authentic tacos. There's only two things I can really point out because the food was good and the service was good. 1.) There was no ice in our waters so they were room temperature. 2.) The chips and salsa were good, but you don't get that much--perhaps it was enough, we're just used to more everywhere else we go. Still yet, I definitely enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service.“

“Chipotle meets Subway, excellent! Quality food which I come to expect and with more options. I had the burrito and chips w/salsa and an unsweetened ice tea. I’ll be back with my family. The staff was personable and informative. The place was spotless. Everything I want in a restaurant.“

“The best Mexican food I’ve eaten since the West Coast! Which if you know you know! Service was fast, and professional. Presentation of not just the menu and restaurant itself but the plate was on point. Pricing was fair as well. 10/10 will recommend and we will becoming a regular! Keep up the good work!“

“The staff is always friendly and the food is outstanding.“

“This place is by far the best Mexican restaurant in town. They are always kind and the food is amazing!“

“Best authentic Mexican restaurant in 50 mile radius! True authentic food great flavor and superb quality. The cook earns their title True chef! It’s not a big place not flashy but, the food and service is unmatched! Only thing I would change is advertising is needed more! If you want great food at affordable prices this is your place! I am proud to come back soon and look forward to it!!!!!! Came back best tamales ever!“

“Best Carnitas and Tortillas in Cleveland . I enjoy the authentic traditional spices and friendly help in selections . Most reasonable pricing in a competitive local market . Makes my home meals a easy fix and totally satisfying.MUCHO GRACIA JALISCO !!!“

“Great food and excellent service every time“

“Excellent food great atmosphere“

“¡¡Una delicia al paladar!! Éxito“

“Great food! Quesarito had excellent cilantro throughout making it a great experience for the palate. The chips have a great seasoning on them. Queso dip goes well with the chips!“

“Correct choice for manager. I should have asked for his name. Sees need and helps. Staff was short handed so he was helping on the register. I was short money for a drink. We all struggle now and again. I had asked him to take the drink off the bill because I did not have enough for food and drink… he took drink off bill….said “here have a drink on me” and handed me an empty cup to get something from fountain drinks. I would say It is good gestures like this that keep customers coming back here. I know I sure will be coming back when I pass through the area. Thank you good sir.“

“Came to this taco bell on a Saturday at 3:24pm. Greeted by a friendly energetic group of workers. Ordered a nacho fries and a dragon fruit freeze via kiosk. They double checked and made sure someone placed my order. Made my drink and gave me fries in under 5 minutes. The restaurant was super clean.“

“One of the better taco bell's in Cleveland. I've never had an issue with this one messing up my order or having to wait a long time. The employees are always super friendly. If you have the extra time to come to this one in town over the others, it's worth it. It's not the best place to pull out of it you're trying to go back to the south in of town in the middle of the day but normally going through the parking lot with food lion/hobby lobby and all of that isn't too bad.“
