The venue is decorated nicely with wooden carved tables and very creative murals.

Our servers were very friendly and accommodating for requests and modifications. I hope life brings me back nearby to give it another try.

She had a bean taco and quesadilla from the kids menu. I can't say enough about the food and excellent service. This place is a must for anyone who appreciates true Mexican food!!!!

Brush up on your Spanish, the employees I talked to during this, and previous visits speak little English. With patience and recalling a little high school Spanish they'll meet your Mexican food needs. Service is typically quick too as it's never very crowded.

It's a bit of a drive to get there from downtown or Mt Pleasant but oh my god, it is entirely worth it. There was just one person running the entire front of the restaurant, waiting every table, bringing out all of the food, and handling the checks. She was fantastic and the service was great. We ordered in Spanish (the best we could) and everything turned out well, but the menu is in both English and Spanish so you could just point to the things you want. I had the enchiladas which were amazing, highly recommend. Also ask for a flavored water (agua fresca), they had pineapple, cucumber and lime, and tamarin. The pineapple water (agua fresca de piña) was so good! This place is a diamond in the rough. It doesn't look like much on the outside but don't judge a book by its cover, it's the best Mexican restaurant in Charleston!

On our way to the airport one weekend, we saw the sign for what appeared to be a new restaurant in town, the family was hungry and we decided to give it a shot. Not expecting much, we ordered some authentic Mexican dishes: Lamb Barbacoa. Chilaquiles, Enchiladas and Horchata and Cucumber waters.... boy, were we so pleasantly surprised!!!!! FINALLY; delicious, fresh and truly authentic Mexican dishes!! For once everyone, wife, toddlers, teenage son, mother in law and I unanimously agreed, we're so delighted with this place that we have made it our go-to weekend breakfast spot. Service is super friendly, portions are generous, prices are fair. We hope this place keeps the great quality of the food for years to come. Congratulations to the chef, cooks and staff, all of you succeeded in making us feel at home.

While a lot of places have been raising prices, their lunch specials are still under $10 which is honestly rare right now. Great variety too, and they've got plenty of kid-friendly options which made it super easy for our group. We came in with a party of 10 and everything ran smoothly. The staff was friendly, attentive, and on top of everything without being overwhelming. Food came out fast, hot, and fresh. You can tell they use good quality ingredients, especially the vegetables. Portions are generous, especially for dinner, so you're definitely getting your money's worth. The vibe is casual, relaxed, and very family-friendly. Didn't try the margaritas this time, but saw one go by and it looked pretty good definitely on the list for next visit. Overall, solid spot for families, groups, or just a reliable meal that won't break the bank. Kind of want to gatekeep it... but also want them to stay in business forever

Of course, food…read morequality and flavor matter--but what truly makes or breaks the experience is how customers are treated. I've been to plenty of places where the food was just okay, but the service was outstanding--and I happily return to support those businesses. Great service creates loyalty. On the other hand, when the food is average and the customer service or management approach is poor, there's simply no reason to go back. Unfortunately, that's been my experience here. Whether it's a cultural miscommunication or a management issue, something is clearly off. At the end of the day, how you treat your customers matters just as much--if not more--than what you serve on the plate.

They do have a lunch menu that's reasonably priced that I'd suggest trying first.
