The Yelp reviews are right, this IS authentic Mexican food. Go here, try it, you'll want more. I do! As a business traveler I searched and found the best Mexican food in the area. The salsa was freshly made, with lots of juicy tomato bits, garlic, onion, and cilantro. I enjoyed the just cooked chips and wasted no salsa. I decided to have a pork taco which came with onions and cilantro. It's served on a soft corn tortilla and was the perfect bite. For an entree I chose the chicken enchiladas suizas, which had 4 enchiladas with shredded chicken, topped with cheese, a scoop of guacamole & a red sauce. Then a side of Mexican rice. I added some green salsa for a little more heat. Man these were good, served hot, with soft enchiladas and perfectly seasoned chicken inside. The interior was quaint, clean and comfortable. The service was very friendly from start to finish and food delivered in good time. I definitely felt this place was as authentic and original as you could get. Bluffton has a hidden gem here, and you should stop by. I certainly will return on future visits. read more

The food was bland and overpriced. The service was excellent. The ambience was nothing special. The food should have more flavor, for Mexican food I would serve salsa on the side with every dish. read more

Small family restaurant, Excellent food, Great Service, and Friendly & Affordable- Loved it

Enchiladas came with nothing inside the corn tortillas. The meat was on the outside. Not tasty at all.

I had a shredded beef burrito with mild sauce and my husband had enchiladas with chicken. My burrito was amazing - very flavorful and packed with beef. Husband loved his as well - said it tasted homemade! Super Casual with waitress service. read more

La Huasteca - Enchiladas and beef burrito - Mexican Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

If you are looking for true authentic, La Huasteca is the place . My wife and I found it while furniture shopping over two years ago and fell in love with the food the owners and all the wonderful people who work there . We go every Sunday after church and love the food and the service is excellent . It's small and lots of locals eat there . They have been in business for over 15 years !! Check it out you won't be sorry . read more

ROACHES Beyond that, food we ordered was a let-down. Steak fajitas were disappointing. Meat was chewy and hard to break down. Will not return. read more

The restaurant is located in a business park area, so you need to keep your eyes open when driving to this location/FYI its a door down from Sieglers. Just to give a bit of history on my Mexican food background, I lived in San Diego for a year, probably ate Mexican everyday-it is so incredible here-no TexMex. I would go to Mexico some evenings for dinner, as the boarder was 15 miles from my house. I have eaten in many of the MY Mexi joints, so I think I have a grasp on the difference between good and bad. La Huasteca holds its weight with any on the best places I mentioned above. I have been there 10 times and if I was living closer, I honestly would be there 5 times a week. Everything on the menu is authentic-stone ground-honest ingredients and flavors. Try the Menudo, its not on the menu but is served Thurs-Sunday, I believe. The service is great, lots of Mexican patrons but dont worry as to any language barrier, servers speak English. Trust me when I say, you could throw a dart at the menu for weeks and never be disappointed. read more

La Huasteca - Mexican Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

I used to live in Southern California, and moved away 3 years ago. I've lived in 3 other states since then, and have been looking for an AUTHENTIC Mexican restaurant ever since. THIS IS IT! The atmosphere, the service, the food, all of it is exactly what I've been searching for these last 3 years. Prices are higher than I'm used to, but it's also the opposite side of the country. This will be a regular place of ours now. Highly recommend. read more

We eat here at least once week for lunch. It was a great find when we moved here three months ago. We have our favorite dishes, but everything we have tried had been excellent. The staff is helpful, friendly and take good care of us. The kitchen is so clean, the floors are very clean. That's impressive! Reasonable prices, too. If the local Hispanic eat here, you know its good! We're about the only non Hispanic in here each time, and we will always return. Be sure to try this family owned place. read more

Come here for authentic Mexican food!!!! This is not Tex Mex. This place also does Gluten Free because everything is made right here. Open kitchen where everything is made to order. The chicken fajitas were amazing. Corn tortillas they must make to order also. Hot and tasty. Must ask for green hot sauce. It makes the meal even better. You will not be disappointed !! read more

La Huasteca - Front counter. You sit down and order. Small place. Authentic food - Mexican Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

This charming little spot was so worth the stop! They are kind of hidden, as the only distinguishing marker is the moniker on the awning above the small door. Dont let that fool you though because inside they have plenty of seating to not be crowded for the time we went (about 1pm). The staff was incredible friendly and on point! They were clean and the food was delicious. I dont know that ive had authentic Mexican but they have 4 years worth of certificates stating most authentic taco for the area! I believe it! The salsa was home made the guacamole was as well and I suspect the tortillas were! After eating there was no one in the restaurant aside from my family and my daughters got up and danced to the lively music playing on TV! It was a sweet moment! The best Mexican food we have had since moving to Savannah! read more

I gave this place a try based on the reviews here and I was very disappointed. I would not recommend it and I won't be going back. My wife and I have lived all over the country and spent a good deal of time in New Mexico and are very accustom to good Mexican food This place seriously missed the mark. The good: - The waitress was nice and courteous, taking our order and bringing our items in a timely manner. - The menu selection was what I expected from a Mexican restaurant and the prices seemed fair. - My wife liked the green hot sauce that she requested. The bad: - They brought out chips and salsa. The chips were stale and the salsa was very bland with no real spice that I could detect. It tasted tomatoey with a bit of a cilantro flavor. - While my wife liked the green hot sauce, I found that it had a good amount of heat, but tasted sharp and citrusy. - We both ordered the asada tacos and we're both disappointed. The meat seemed tender but tasted like it had no seasoning on it all. I would describe the taste like meat that was panned cooked while frozen. - Strangely, my wife ordered a Coca Cola and was told that they have only Pepsi, despite the fact that the red restaurant cups that they used had Coca Cola written on them. A few minutes after my wife received her can of Pepsi and red Coca Cola cup filled with ice, another patron received a "Mexican Coke" in the glass bottle along with their red Coca Cola cup. - The entire menu was in Spanish. Lucky for us, we speak/read enough Spanish to navigate the menu, but it seems to me to be a very bad idea to have an exclusively Spanish language menu in South Carolina--even if the majority of you clientele are Spanish speakers. - Finally, and probably the most annoying thing, was that the TV on the wall was blaring so loudly that you could not have a conversation while dinning. We really wanted to like this place. We love Mexican food and have always had the best luck at family owned restaurants. Best of luck if you decide to give it a try. read more

This is a small place that serves authentic Mexican food. The meal I had was fairly bland and the nachos supreme did not have any jalapeno - being from Texas, that was surprising. The Mexican music gave the place some flavor, but was a bit louder than I like. Can't say I'll be back anytime soon. read more

First time there. Lived here for 6 years, heard people praising it. Ugh! Should have known something was amiss when we sat down for lunch. We were the only people there, a/c under performing and ceiling fans inoperative. Wife ordered 3 chicken tacos with side salad. I ordered beef burrito with side salad. "Oh, you want dressing with the salad? We only have ranch." Wife could only eat 1 1/2 taco. I took a bite. The chicken must have died of old age. What little beef there was in my burrito tasted like it had been cooked in vinegar. It was mostly beans & rice. I had to stand by the register to get their attention so we could check out. Next time we'll go to Moe's by Lowe's or Fiesta Fresh on the island. read more

An extremely casual experience. We are from Texas and have had a lot of Mexican food. First of all I will grade the dining environment. They didn't appear to have public restrooms. Chips were not fresh. Also, they don't offer tea, and only serve can sodas, and they charge per can. We ordered combo fajitas, the steak looked more like Philly steak sand. meat, it was very thin. The chicken was very bland, veggies had no flavor, and were not cooked long enough. Rice and beans were served room temperature. 3 of us ate, and the bill was 45.00. We will not be back. read more

Horrible service and horrible food . Had to ask for utensils over 10 times and were given attitude.

Disgusting felt sick after I left and what Mexican restaurant does not have queso. She handed us a Spanish-speaking menu assuming my daughter could read it which is very rude as well read more

I chose to eat here today, because I wanted to try something different. I'm glad I did. I had one of the lunch specials, 3 tacos al pastore, pork marinated in pineapple juice, and spices. They came loaded with onion, cilantro, lettuce and pico served with rice and beans and a soft drink, $5.95!!! Amazing. As I was reading the menu I was given a basket of fresh chips and a very mild salsa, it was way to mild for this Mexican, so I asked for the good stuff. What my waitress brought out was the best red and green hot sauce I've had since leaving my moms house 25 years ago. The menu is authentic Mexican food! None of the typical American/Tex Mex. I am so impressed with this place, and so sure my mom is punking me, I'm expecting her to pop out of the kitchen. If you want to taste the food I grew up eating, and want to meet my nana, then you must try this place. read more

La Huasteca - Extraordinary Enchiladas Suizas - Mexican Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

Wow! This was a really good find! My friend and I were in from out of town and had a taste for Mexican food. This place had a lot of stars on yelp so we gave it a try. So glad we did! The interior is very utilitarian. Small, no more than 10 tables. But the food is extremely good! Guac is fresh and creamy with chunks of avocado. Not blended completely smooth. Felt very much like what would be eaten in a Mexican home. Chips were good and crispy. Salsa very fresh. Green salsa was VERY hot so you only need a little bit. Chicken soft tacos were also very fresh. Chicken was juicy and all the food was vibrant and tasty. Service was very friendly and prices are very good. We were very pleased! read more

Loved the food! The chicken milanesa($10) was perfect. Also tried the enchiladas suizas ($9.50)and alambre ($12.50). Both very good. Jamaica and Horchata drinks great! Like said by others, the flavors were fresh and authentic. I grew up as a teenager in Mexico so I really appreciate real Mexican food when I find it. Prices mentioned are not exact but close. read more

La Huasteca - Enchiladas Huastecas. Chicken with enchiladas. The green sauce is very spicy. There are other sauce choices - mild and medium. - Mexican Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

After reading the other reviews I was really looking forward to trying this place but I have to say I was rather disappointed. On the positive side the salsas they had were very good (I just tried the more mild red salsa, while my wife liked the hotter green salsa quite a bit), the guacamole dip was good and the service was decent. On the negative side the entrees just seemed average at best to me. I had chicken enchiladas (which had a mix of white and dark meat which I'd not seen done before) and while they weren't bad they were nothing to get excited over. My wife had a chile relleno which she wasn't thrilled with. The drinks were bottle/can, so no refills (and no alcohol available either). The ambiance was fairly plain. The prices weren't really low, either in comparison to what Mexican restaurants usually run (almost $30 for two entrees, drinks, and guac without tip for the two of us). I could have overlooked all the other drawbacks if the food had been amazing, but it just wasn't. Maybe we just tried the wrong items, but I can't foresee giving them another shot since it isn't conveniently located to us. read more

La Huasteca - Ooops - Mexican Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

Don't waste your time or money. Food was some of the worst I've had, and way over priced.

As we sat down it was evident to me that the only non-Spanish speaker in the place was my wife. Place is simple, no frills: just great authentic Mexican food from a mom and pop place. Came here immediately after being rebuffed by the ready-to-call-it-quits staff at Walnut Cafe. So glad we did. read more

NO! NO! NO! 5 stars? seriously? this is like the food I had on the "street" in Tijuana (not a good place) . not the great Mexican food of Southern California for 50+ years . maybe they were having a "off day" when we were there but in my opinion grade D. i would eat mexican food 4 times a week if my wallet would let me. authentic is not always best. (and not always authentic) read more

We were extremely pleased with our food, unlike some of the other yelpers who had a bad experience. All the ingredients of our tacos were super fresh, and flavorful, the meat was tender and the guacamole and hot sauce were the perfect last touch. We would return for take-out as the ambiance of this tiny place doesn't translate well to a sit down meal, at least to us. read more
