Went here on a tuesday, it wasn’t packed but it should be. The food is amazing, the service was spectacular and the drinks were awesome. I have maybe given 3 reviews in my life but this place deserves to be packed. May be slightly pricier than the other restaurants in the area but it’s 10x better. I highly recommend this place.

This small, quaint, authentic, Mexican spot hit all the marks. If you are looking for good, authentic, food at a great price with amazing service, this is the place to be. I wouldn’t recommend large parties since there’s not tons of space. I don’t have one bad thing to say.

If you are on the hunt for authentic tacos, this is the spot!!! They have a spicy avocado cream sauce, which is delicious on the steak tacos. The margaritas were very tasty (and you will definitely feel the alcohol ;)(mango pineapple, and a strawberry marg), and since it was our first time here our waitress Mary gave us tequila shots on the house. She was so sweet and helpful with the menu!! My boyfriend and I are taco enthusiasts and this one gets a high score from us!

I came here with my friend in February (?) I believe, and it was my first time trying this place... and I still dream of it to this day! My friend and I sat in the patio, and since it was evening, the lights made it so cozy! Our server, Mary (sorry if I misspelled) was so kind, friendly, and attentive! She made us feel truly at home. We also got the passion fruit margarita which was wonderful, and the food was spectacular! I got the skirt steak (I forgot what the dish was called), and it’s the best I’ve had! The salsa verde is to die for; and we started with a mouth-watering choriqueso that complimented the chips and salsa! I look forward to coming back. If you’re in Charleston and are looking for an authentic and delicious Mexican restaurant, look no further!
