    Chicken Caesar Salad
    Amy S.

    Ambiance: 4.0. It is beautiful and nicely decorated. The seating is interesting. We were in a semi-circular booth with 4 people in our group. It felt really cramped with a small table. Also watch your step! Service: 2.0. We did come in without a reservation. The restaurant was half full. We stood waiting for 20 minutes to be seated in a booth that was empty the whole time. The waiting area is nonexistent causing us to constantly have to move to stay out of the way. I don't believe we were checked on very much and there were a couple of things wrong but corrected when asked. However we'd asked to substitute rice side with lettuce and were charged extra without being informed. I'd asked for extra salad dressing and received a very small shot glass of dressing and was charged for it without being informed of the charge. Food 2.5 Once we were seated, the server brought us the smallest basket of chips and smallest dish of salsa I've ever seen in a Mexican restaurant. It looked more like a 1 person portion. We did ask for water and received a carafe with glasses but the glasses were the size of a shot glass, although they were pretty. I got the chicken Caesar salad. It came as a fully attached head of romaine lettuce with a sprinkling of dressing. There were a lot of croutons the same color as the chicken. I removed the croutons which amounted to about 2 handfuls, and the chicken was a small portion. The lettuce was difficult to cut with a butter knife. It was pretty in presentation though. The food tasted good, not very spicy. If you want the Mexican heat, not sure about that here. Overall it's looks over substance. And very pricy for what you get with small upcharges hidden. I hope this place makes some changes as it is in a great location and could be a fantastic place to go. I'm not returning without the service and substance issues being addressed.

    The decor is beautiful and you can surely tell that there was much thought behind every detail. Kudos to their interior designer! I made reservations online the night before to ensure we'd have seating on a Saturday night when everyone is out and about. I recommend making reservations even though there is plenty seating. We noticed quite a few people celebrating birthdays, really sweet of the restaurant to come out and serenade them. Added kicker, there's a DJ! We really wanted to love every aspect. The menus both the food and drink were beautiful but were annoying to browse because they were hard to manipulate as you looked through them due to the way they were bounded. (A qwerty code would be a nice touch for folks who may have a hard time managing the menus). Our server was very nice and offered her recommendations for both appetizers and dinner. In this area and especially in the South, you'd expect larger portion sizes but the vibe here is classier so smaller portion sizes. My daughter was surprised that her appetizer was so small. For us gluten free folks, there was not a lot offered clearly on the menu but I'm sure had I asked, the chef or the owners would have addressed my concerns. It seems like they aim to please their customers. The best part of the night was definitely my daughter and I hanging out together making memories (and sipping my Lychee-Mia )!

    Ambiance is very nice. Bartender was very attentive. We all enjoyed the food. My cheese steak burrito could have been a little hotter. Overall we would attend again.

    Came to check out a New Mexican restaurant. The vibe and decorations are beautiful and everything was designed for good quality. We can during an off time so while it started out empty there, it quickly filled up and was crowded. Service was good and food was delicious. If you don't like cilantro be sure to ask for less or none bc everything does have cilantro. Our alcohol drinks were good and there was a pitcher of water at the table. Everyone enjoyed their meal and mine specifically was the cielo burrito which was so big that I have a whole half left. Hands down the best salsa that is complimentary that we have had in a while- not watered down and had a nice flavor and kick.

    This charming Mexican restaurant has been on my list to go to for a while now and I wish I had gone sooner. The inside is decorated so beautifully with booths and tables and beautiful decor. I was greeted right away and seated after making a reservation. The reservation was probably not needed, but I did so anyways. The meal came with complementary chips and salsa and I'm not talking about the cheap kind of salsa you find in the store. The menu has many options for every pallet. My friend bought the Texas rice, which I forgot to get a picture of. I bought the grilled octopus with potatoes and it was so good! It was grilled perfectly and was so tender. I ordered a white sangria and my friend and I decided to buy the patron margarita flight. That flight is not for the weak of heart! It was very strong, but delicious. I would not recommend it for one person, but definitely two or three people. Overall, it was an amazing experience and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I cannot wait to go back.

    This is the second time I've come here and this time we sat outside on the patio bar area. The service is quick and super friendly. The food is always on point and we always leave excited to come back ready to try more!

    The food is amazing and the service was excellent. The ambiance was great and the design is nice. It was my first time ordering from there, it was really good

    Salmon taco! Chef's kiss!
    Rachael H.

    The decor is fresh and quite lovely! The margaritas are amazing but surprisingly enough I love their espresso martini just as much! The Mexican sushi is one of my favorites and we loved loved the pork belly and salmon tacos! Been a few times and have enjoyed this new addition to nexton!

    The restaurant decor itself was appealing. The music was at an acceptable volume. When we walked in, there was hardly anyone in the restaurant and the hostess said it would be a 20 to 30 minute wait. We asked if they could please just sit us at a table for drinks and chips and salsa while we waited After speaking to the manager, they allowed it. The server we had was not very experienced it seemed, as multiple of the items we ordered came incorrect and had to be redone. She also didn't check on us without us flagging her down. The food was just average. I really wanted to love this place, as it's conveniently located and I thought it would be a more upscale Mexican option but there was nothing upscale except the price. There was not many vegan options. Some of the food was presented beautifully but the flavors did not match the look. Overall the best item we had was the cauliflower. The salsa was decent. We will probably not go back here. Although taco boy is hit or miss, I find them still to be the best Mexican option, outside of driving to Charleston for Bartaco or The Matador.

    Carne asada tacos

    Food was awesome. A modern take on Mexican food. Very interesting menu especially if you are a foodie. Service was fantastic. The decorations and all around ambiance of the place is amazing. There is nothing like this in the surrounding area in Summerville. Drinks were awesome!!! Only margaritas around that taste and look like they have authentic ingredients. Not fake fluorescent mixers.

    Lovely new Latin restaurant in Nexton - great drinks and food! Appetizer trio, Airline chicken, grilled burrito and mole chicken all exceptional! The chicken was literally fall off the bone and I can say enough about the dark mole!! Best mole I have had in Charleston area! Kate was our server and she was very attentive! We will definitely be regulars here.

    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 ;)

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.
