    Shrimp taco
    Tilisha P.

    This place has not failed me yet. Service is always good, food is even better! No complaints from me. Me and my sister come here everytime she comes down. Its great for any occasion. The atmosphere is always welcoming and we are always greeted with a smile. Marissa was our server today and she was so kind and pleasant . I love this place!

    Delicious food and excellent customer service! We went in on a Friday night and were sat quickly. It was actually a breezy, 67 degrees in August in Charleston... so, we asked to sit out on the cute patio. The patio is decorated similarly to the restaurant with a romantic ambiance complete with lanterns and lights strung up across the beams. There are awesome heavy iron tables and chairs that are super comfortable. The inside of the restaurant is an eclectic mix of Mexican and western with huge elaborate wrought iron chandeliers. We loved it! Before we were completely settled in our seats, a kind waiter brought us chips and salsa. Just as quickly, our waitress arrived to take our drink order. The chips were nice and hot and the salsa was fresh with a nice kick to it. We ordered the Steak Jalisco and the Quesadilla Jalisco. Our food was delivered hot and fresh in record time. Everything was delicious! The chicken had an excellent flavor and was grilled to perfection. The steak also was very tasty, we especially enjoyed the potatoes and the beans were so yummy on the chips. We really enjoyed our date night and will definitely be back again without the kids!

    Absolute worst dining experience in Cane Bay/Nexton. Menu says corn tortillas stuffed with chicken, bell peppers and onions. What was served was chicken on chips. Manger Alex was incredibly rude, condescending, arrogant and insulting. Smirked and mocked us. Table was dirty and sticky. Honestly if you want good Mexican go somewhere else. If you want terrible service this is your place.

    The service was good at agave. We ordered a small cheese dip & it was $7 (a tad expensive). It tasted like it was watered down with milk & powder. The entree was great and the cucumber margaritas are good!

    Chicken Fajitas

    So far this is the best Mexican restaurant in the area. Haven't been to all of them but I had a few disappointments. We were greeted upon entering and were seated right away with a couple of lunch menus. Chips and salsa arrived right after that and soon after another waitress came to take our drinks order: two Coronas, no lime Ordered chicken Fajitas and Carnitas to share, both were flavorful and portion size was adequate. Place looks clean and there are plenty of tables and enough space if you want to eat Al fresco. Will come back and keep trying other options.

    Chicken Fajita

    I read the good reviews about this place and decided to give them a try. I feel the food did not live up to the hype. I ordered the chicken fajitas (lunch portion.) it came with refried beans and guacamole salad. I was offered the choice between corn and flour tortillas. The food was not very flavorful and it was very dry. The fajitas didn't come with sour cream, salsa, sauce or any moisture containing ingredients. The fajitas had maybe two pieces of grilled onion and one red pepper strip. The shreds of cheese were barely visible. I expected better based on the reviews. The customer service was ok. They were not overly friendly, I think that I had to greet them first in all honesty. If I return, It might be to grab a drink or an appetizer. I enjoyed the relaxing outdoor patio, the weather was perfect but the food needs some work.

    My favorite place to get tacos!! The bean dip is also to die for. Pro tip: add some bean dip to your taco! A lovely place for happy hour and my coworkers and I often frequent the patio for book club!

    Ordered from this place for the first time tonight and it is LEGIT! Their handmade corn tortillas…read moreput other places' to shame. Got 3 pastor street tacos and they were huge, loaded with delicious, flavorful meat, and so irresistible I ate all 3 and didn't take a picture! The free chips were thin and crisp, the salsa was super-fresh and not spicy. The housemade hot sauce is thick, loaded with spicy smoked chiles and will hurt you in the best way. I got free cheese dip and it is the best anywhere! Not gloppy, powerful cheese flavor- Monterey Jack? The banderita burrito got rave reviews, and I haven't had my chile poblano yet because I filled up on chips, but it looks amazing! I will consider leaving the house to dine in someday because I know it's even better on-site, and they're definitely in my Ubereats favorites.

    Excellent Mexican food! The menu is huge and seems like there is something for everyone here…read more.. My husband and I sat at the tiny bar for a late dinner. We started with chips & salsa and the guacamole which was absolutely fantastic. I also had a huge & delicious margarita! For my entree, I ordered the "combo chico" which was one item of your choice (I picked a chicken taco) with rice & beans. It was a good portion size as I wasn't that hungry after all those chips & dips! We will definitely be back for more ;)

They have a take-out menu or option to dine-in. As soon as we sat down, they brought homemade chips and salsa which I enjoyed but not too much to fill up before the meal. For drinks they are serve margaritas, beers, teas..I tried the agua fresca hibiscus and my fiancé tried the horchata, both delicious! The menu is simple but packs lots of flavors and proteins. I constantly seek out elote so you know I had to order theirs! I like that they roasted the corn, provided a more robust flavor and the cheese topping I could dip anything with that..was about to lick the plate but stopped myself haha my fiancé got 3 variations of tacos, the flavors were good. They brought out some bottles salsa verde and another kind of hot sauce salsa. I liked their options for tamales, I got mole chicken and another kind of chicken..they're more filling than they look so left with our belly's full and spirits lifted. Tierra Caliente will be on our rotation now, wonderful staff and good food.

She did a good job. The food was expensive. We've never paid $10 for queso, which was overly thick and barely warm. The interior smelled strongly of mold so we asked to sit outside. There was no ambience. The ambience inside was also terrible, no decor at all. The music was unpleasant too. No rap please. The enchilada sauce was very strong tasting mole. The cinnamon and clove was overpowering. The chile relleno was small and the sauce tasted more like marinara sauce. The child's quesadilla was not warm enough and the cheese was like mozzarella. The rice, beans, and chips were good though. The margarita had way too much mix that was too sweet. For three of us the bill was $90, with only one drink. There are many other choices of local Mexican restaurants that are very good. Next time we'll return to El Jalapeno, Villa Cantina, or El Patron, all of which are reliably very good, with pleasant atmosphere.
