Yeeeessssss!! A foodie dream of mine has come true with two of my favorite kinds of cuisine located directly next to each other : tacos and bbq!!! I can now literally inhale some delicious tacos and then take only a few steps to indulge in the most tender, melt in your mouth , fall apart, best brisket this side of Texas. I did just that on this visit so don't judge me , join me ! Here's what to know about Juan Lewis : it's a food trailer (Appears stationary and not a traveling food truck) located in the parking lot of Lewis Barbecue. It's owned by the same mastermind behind Lewis BBQ, John Lewis . There is picnic table seating with nice shady trees so you can relax and enjoy your food . They serve awesome frozen margaritas! They also have other adult beverage options, as well as non alcoholic choices. The tacos are great . They use corn tortillas but you can request flour if you want. The tortillas are made in house and I found the texture and taste of the corn tortillas to be tasty . They offer green chili beef or chicken tinga tacos . Three come in a order and you can mix and match so I recommend trying both as they are both delicious! There is a little heat in the beef tacos from the hatch green chilis and the flavor is amazing . Both tacos include lettuce, cheese and pico de gallo. Tacos include a couple sauces on the side- the green sauce is my favorite and has a kick to it . Order the guacamole. It's fresh , healthy and delicious. I recommend adding a spritz of lime to it for a citrusy kick . Can't wait to return and further explore their menu! read more

Juan Luis is one of our favorite places to eat in the Charleston peninsula. I brought friends from out of town to the food truck, which shared the spacious outdoor eating space with Lewis Barbecue, on numerous occasions during the summer. The oak trees were decorated beautifully and there was live music on numerous visits. There are outdoor picnic benches that offer a great place to enjoy. The food was delicious. I ordered tacos, which had excellent and fresh meat and vegetables. They also came with rice and beans. Fair price for the food and experience. Highly recommend. read more

The new food truck in the Lewis parking lot is amazing. We timed perfectly when arriving because the line got super long with the hype of a new restaurant. Currently they are only doing breakfast but have plans for expansion into lunch/dinner with menus already planned. The breakfast tacos were amazing. The price point was great for the loaded tacos. Hard to pick my fav we tried the potato/guac, chorizo and the red beef/pinto bean(this was the messiest) . Bonus! You can get an AM marg or beer to wash down your meal. The line was decent but as soon as you order, the turnaround time was super fast. Try it out! Def worth getting out of bed in the morning. read more

After having such an amazing meal next door at Lewis BBQ, we were a bit surprised at our meal from Juan Lewis. We stopped by after our meal to split a green chili cheeseburger between the two of us. We placed our order at the counter and grabbed a seat at one of the tables. Our food came up and it looked pretty solid. We asked if they could cut it in half for us and they said no. We ended up hacking it in half with a plastic knife and dove in. We were both rather surprised in the overall lack of flavor. The patty wasn't seasoned at all. It had a decent char on the patty, but that was the high point. The sauce was hard to find and the cheese was flavorless. The chilies were nicely roasted, but the overall flavor of the burger just wasn't there. We were both a bit disappointed from our selection. Hopefully it was just a one off situation, but I can't say I would return to try any of the other options. read more

Such an amazing experience at Juan Luis for lunch. Ordered the smothered burrito w/pork, beef enchiladas and the dip trio. Everything was amazing. Sat outside with our three kids and found a perfect little corner where we all got to feel what life was like pre-pandemic. Being super familiar with Lewis BBQ, my expectations were sky high and this has been on my Must-try list for some time. I feel like Juan Luis will be a staple in our rotation for years to come. I love that they are open for breakfast as wel and that's on the agenda for some day soon. read more

ALL HAIL THE KING! John Lewis is the beef master no doubt. My wife and I were dying to try Juan Lewis. I'm a Lewis junkie and she loves any type of Mexican food. We started with a queso dip that was divine. She had the green chili enchiladas and I had the beef tacos. BEST refried beans ever. The tacos were great. It is beef like a taco, not shredded brisket or anything. The chicken was spectacular too. Can't wait to go try the others and breakfast. read more

Two restaurants in one location, something for everyone! Sitting on the same spot as Lewis BBQ, Juan Luis serves out of small, trailer-like kiosk. There were 4 in our party and everyone was happy with their food (i.e., enchiladas, burritos, chips + salsa and guac). Portions are BIG, bring a hearty appetite or plan to share. We sat outside, customers also have the option to eat inside at Lewis BBQ. The Juan Luis kiosk offers some drinks (including margaritas) and there is always the option to head into Lewis BBQ for beers to tap and other beverages. Service was super quick, a bonus for sure given the typical long line for Lewis BBQ. The only suggestion is that Juan Luis start serving meat from Lewis BBQ with their dishes. The beef we had on our entrees were certainly flavorful and good, having the option to order something like brisket or sausage from Lewis BBQ would send this over the top! read more

so good!!! Honestly words can't describe how quickly I fell for the food, honestly so in love! lol but seriously aside from getting their margaritas every time I go to Lewis bbq I finally decided to try the food and it did not disappoint! My husband had gotten the Christmas burrito with pork and it was so good!! (And spicy) I got the nachos and seriously...the chips were perfect the beans the cheese the single jalapeño on every chip the only thing that made me sad was the portion, although I can appreciate the presentation I just wanted a tad bit more I almost ordered another one but decided against it but honestly even with the portion of the nachos they were still decently priced and worth every dollar!! I'd only recommend updating the hours on Yelp bc I usually check the hours before I go and had been avoiding it bc it always seemed closed but the hours read different on site read more

Best breakfast taco I've ever had. Ordered one Migas and one Juanito but I think they were both Juanitos (must have been a ticketed wrong). But they were so good I didn't mind haha. Wasn't spicy which I was a little worried about. Just really tasty and flour tortilla was nice and chewy. Size was ok. 2 was enough for me. We ordered online (during COVID) to pickup. Outdoor seating available with tables decently spaced between the aisle. Wasn't too crowded so we ate outside. Tacos were excellent so would definitely return! read more

I ordered the Lobster roll (forgot complete name) and the Tsunami roll. Both of my rolls were incredible. They were very nice, 10/10 rolls. The fish was fresh, and the flavors were on point. All of my friends also enjoyed the rolls they ordered. I also ordered the fish collar tacos, which is easily the best bang for your buck on the menu. The plate only costs $14 and it comes with 2 fat fish collars, not sure what species, forgot to ask, if I had to guess I would say grouper or cobia. These collars are beautiful fried and loaded with meat. Additionally the plate comes with some lettuce, cilantro, lime, pineapple pico, sauce, and 3 flour tortillas. If you don't mind getting your hands a little dirty to separate the meat from bone, you will get three very very filled fish tacos and have meat to spare. Needless to say, the fish collar tacos were delicious and very well priced. All in all, I had a good time; the service was phenomenal, drinks were constantly being refilled, and there's really nothing to complain about. Great experience!

We couldn't wait a second longer to taste our delicious food! TIP: CALL BEFORE ARRIVING TO THIS ADDRESS. He does switch spots. He will respond or text you back with the address.

Was hoping to really be impressed but honestly a few things made our experience mediocre. First thing was the food looked better than it tasted. We ordered 3 al pastor tacos as they come, and the meat was tougher than expected, like it was recooked too many times or sitting down for a bit. The flavor was okay, was hoping for pieces of pineapple like other authentic taco joints but there were none, or not really any semblance of pineapple at all unfortunately. The size of tacos were good, and they were double wrapped. My husband ordered their cali burrito. It was a good size, he was only able to eat half. He did note it had almost too much fries in it and wished it had more meat. He rated it 7/10 due to fries to meat ratio. We also ordered a size of rice and beans and it was a good size for being a side. We were unfortunately disappointed with the beans, they were wayyyy too salty Like we couldn't even mix it with the rice to balance out the saltiness, it was overly salted. The rice was great, just sad about the refried black beans. Overall a decent experience, we'd eat here again but try different items. Maybe it was an off day cuz we ate around 6:30pm.

Our waitress was very sweet and accommodating! To start, they have so many different margarita options. I went with a mix of the watermelon and kiwi frozen margarita and it was BOMB. Started off with that and the chips and salsa (which is not included but was only $6 for a large portion). You could tell the salsa was freshly made with fresh ingredients. I ordered the chicken chimichanga and my boyfriend ordered the quesadilla. I of course tried his dish, and it was so delicious and cheesy and melted. This was my first time having a chimichanga, and it was so good. So flavorful and filling. I can't wait to bring my friends back here!

If you're sitting at a table, you'll need to order at the bar, and they'll bring the food out to you.

I got the quesadilla with ground beef, and it was tasty and huge, the sauces that came with it were also very tasty. My boyfriend wanted the crunch-a-dilla supreme which was not on the menu anymore but they made it for him anyway and he loved it. They have a few other sauces you can go and get yourself if you'd like. We loved it and we would definitely come again!

The meat was tender though the flavor profile leaned more mild than bold. If you prefer heavier seasoning, you'll definitely want to add some heat. The absolute standout was the homemade red hot sauce. It brought serious flavor and just the right kick -- it completely elevated the meal. Service was friendly and welcoming, though a bit on the slower side which matches the relaxed vibe. It seems they do a big takeout business too.
