we came in knowing we had many menu questions because i have a shellfish allergy and my mom has celiac, chef Norman was incredibly helpful in discussing what is and isn't safe for us to eat with our restrictions, and worked with us to make the dishes we wanted. also shoutout to our server Marissa. read more

I visited this past Saturday for a quick dinner with friends. I thought it was pretty good. The restaurant has a good beach vibe. Parking around seems tough. There are expensive pay lots around, but you can find some free spots in the streets around. We just ordered the nachos and they were pretty good. Some folks with us commented that the margaritas were good. I'd come back to get a meal. The service was fast and pretty nice. Our server was happy and laughed at all my bad jokes. read more

Disappointed in so many ways. Me, Ben & the 4 Grands looking for some post-Easter dinner in Folly Beach. So many choices so at 7p we got our name on the list for a table. They take your mobile number, # in your group & name. She told us 20 min, so we got the kiddos engaged in a game & found some chairs & waited. In 5 min got txt saying table was ready, turns out the host heard 2 instead of 6 even though she could see us all standing in front of her. Ben even pointed to a six top that needed cleaning & she said that's reserved. It took another 5 min & they seated us at a very large community table. We didn't care, the kids get restless & everyone hungry. We got our drink & food order in right away so we could get the kids started. In 10 min we ALL had our drinks & chips/salsa, another 5 min the kids had their food. Me & Ben waited 30 min for our tacos which were not that great. Two Hours!! Two!! To get in/out!! Not worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

DISAPPOINTED This place came highly recommended by several people. When we got here, it took 45 minutes just to get drinks. Then when we received them, they were not what we had expected. And the quesadilla was burnt. Just was not pleased. read more

This place is consistent. I don't think the food is exceptional or anything but the drinks are good and they have a huge space both indoor and outdoor. I hate that they don't do a lot of specials for things like national margarita day or cinco but they advertise to come in. read more

Let me tell ya I wouldn't bother to leave a review if it wasn't ROUGH. Arrived at 7 pm this Tuesday. Party of 2. Long wait, so we decide to sit at the bar since there were plenty of open bar seats. Takes us about 10 minutes to get acknowledged by bartenders. We get a menu, another 5-10 mins to order drinks. We each order a margarita and waters. Hibiscus margarita was really good. We didn't get our waters. Took another 15 minutes before we were able to order. We order tacos and the dip trio. Ask for water again, did not receive Tacos came out eventually. They were good. We never got our dip trio. Asked for water again, no success After we finish tacos we give up on the trio of dips and ask for water a fourth time. We did finally get water at the very end of our meal. We then asked for the check. Bartender couldn't find our tab in the system for a while. Eventually she came back and told us that someone closed out our tab already. I asked if we were charged for the trio we never received and she said no. Was not provided a receipt. I added up all of our items and did however discover that whoever closed our tab put a nice ~20% tip on there too. I was so disappointed by the experience. I know the bartenders were super busy but I'm not sure it warranted my tab being closed out without my knowledge, no receipt, an employee added a tip higher than I would've given, not receiving the item we ordered, and asking for water 4 times. Anyway 1/10 would not recommend read more

We loved the guacamole & chips (delicious and too many-you should probably share if you're not sure), and the tacos were yum! The ambience was the best-super cute & great service, too! read more

Rolled in mid-afternoon for margaritas and chips & guac at the bar, and Taco Boy delivered exactly what it promised. The margs were good, the vibe was better -- the decor and atmosphere here are genuinely terrific, colorful without trying too hard. The guac says "homemade" on the menu, and I believe them, but somewhere between home and my table it decided to be perfectly average. Not bad! Just... guac and chips off the grocery delivery truck. What earns the fourth star is the feel of the place: welcoming to absolutely everyone, with friendly staff who chat with you like humans. Solid establishment, solid drinks, solid afternoon. Ocean views from the patio. read more

Had mixed feelings about taco boy. I really liked their decor, and service was super friendly. The food didn't wow me, but it wasn't particularly bad either. Just somewhere in the middle, average. There were a few misses though, like being brought the wrong taco, or them not being made with the right tortilla. Additionally, the margarita pitcher not really having 6 drinks as advertised (closer to 5). The hot sauce was good, had a nice heat that built and then persisted through the end of the meal. Overall would give 3 stars for a fairly average experience. read more

Taco Boy is a large indoor-outdoor restaurant close to the beach. It can accommodate a large party, though you may have a wait. While the live music and general ambiance is nice, the service was very slow and the food sub-par. The chips and dips were tasty, but the tacos are generally very small, dry, and have little protein. The side of black beans we all received tasted burnt and unpleasant. Staff was very nice and accommodating to our group and we loved the live music, but the food was so-so. read more

came in for chips and tacos and a nice drink. bartender was alone, and swamped. had a continuous stream of tickets for the well, and basically a full bar the entire time we dined. management finally decided to come help behind the bar, but left a set of dishes from a previous customer on the bar. a new couple came in and sat at the pile of dishes (the only seats left at the bar) for over five minutes while these two never came over to greet or clean. the bartender was kind and stressed. very professional. i've never seen management neglect customer or staff like this in person. honestly, it's the 250th anniversary of the fucking country. leaving ONE bartender to fend for themselves on Any night this week shows weakness in planning, strategy, and professionalism. disappointed as fuck. read more

When I arrived, the elevators were out of service, and the staff told me flat-out that they were unable to provide any disability accommodations. No alternative access, no effort to help--just a shrug and a "sorry." That's not just bad customer service; it's a potential ADA violation. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), restaurants must provide equal access for all guests. When elevators break, they're legally obligated to offer reasonable accommodations--like seating on an accessible level or a temporary workaround--not simply deny access. It's disappointing and disheartening that in 2025, a popular restaurant in a major tourist area would make someone feel excluded because of a physical barrier they refuse to address. Until they take accessibility seriously, this spot's off my list--and it should be off yours too. read more

Very disappointed in the bar service. Stopped here after dinner for some drinks and none of the bartenders at the bar would give us the time of day. Both my wife and I tried to get their attention but no one cared. read more

This chain isn't that impressive. Their margaritas are lacking in a lot of ways. Taco shells ( soft are good) but I wish the ingredients tasted less frozen and a bit more fresh. The vibe is fun and nice and service is ok. read more

This taco boy is huge compared to the one downtown. Our bartender Colin was so friendly and down to earth. We got a couple margarita and a small snack - their trio chip dip hit the spot with salsa, queso and house-made guacamole! We sat at the main bar downstairs and it was a nice atmosphere. A bit pricy but expected since you're right on folly beach but it's a good vibe. read more

Love that this place is close tot he beach. They have multiple bars. Rooftop was closed during the day on a Friday but sat at the bar instead. The bartender was great and conversational. The chips and guac were just average, as well as the margaritas. The tacos were delicious. I tried a crispy avocado and firecracker shrimp taco which were both delicious. I would definitely come back for a quick bite off the beach but would likely just stick to tacos. read more

Was there Sunday afternoon/ early evening for a snack. I always have to get my taco boy fix when on folly. We sat at the bar downstairs because the upstairs bar was closed & the seating outside is super tiny. It can hold maybe 15 people facing the ocean & all chairs were taken. There was a dj spinning tunes on the lower deck, which was nice, however, the music was way too loud! The bar tender had a hard time understanding what my boyfriend & I were saying & vice versa. The food was good as usual but the kimchi was a little spicier than I remembered. I never thought I'd say this, but the margarita was too big for us two Maybe if we were there just for drinks we could have finished it but we were pretty full from the food. read more

Delicious Mexican food with good service and cool vibes. We started out with the chips and salsa trio which was very flavorful. I had the taco boy salad with black beans. He had the rice bowl and she had the kimchi beef tacos. All the food was filling but a little pricey. I'd still come back regardless. read more

Food was okay, kinda bland and didn't finish it. The drinks were really good but came after our food. We were finished for maybe 15 minutes before our serve came back to check on us. Going back to the food, it was okay, not worth $20 in my opinion and my boyfriend and I both woke up feeling nauseous and sick and this place was the common denominator. What a shame because it's a cute place. Just kinda mid and might make you sick. read more

I really have enjoyed other taco boy locations but was disappointed by this location. The inside is nicely decorated and has a very cool folly beach vibe. We went for happy hour which has a pretty good menu and options but the food was just ok. You get free chips and salsa for happy hour. Salsa was good but the chips were a little stale. The pitcher of margarita we split was delicious. Service was just ok and the food was alright but hoping it was an off day for this location because we do really enjoy Taco boy. read more

4.5 stars We stopped in here on a weekday night (paid parking) and virtually no wait. We got dried chickpeas brought to our table as an appetizer. I got the quesabirria taco (add $2 for the quesa) and the grilled shrimp taco with cojita and key lime crema (sub the crispy shrimp) for $14 without the sides. My dad got the baja taco plate (also $14 but with rice and beans) with 1 mahi and 1 shrimp. I could see where on a nice day, sitting outside would be a fun option. 2024 #14 read more

Unfortunately, we had a disappointing experience at the Folly TB. We've been going to both TBs for a decade and have ALWAYS had a great experience. The new(er) larger space may be too much volume to provide patrons/groups with a great dining experience. Christina S. was a bit overwhelmed, asking me several times about my order and returning to tell me the 86 list. One of the kids' tacos was delivered without meat. Overall, the food was unflavorful and simply thrown together (we've always loved TB's presentation). I ordered enchiladas and added a lot of (needed) hot sauce. My friend, the birthday boy, left half of his quesadilla on the plate. When the Toast app/POS was brought up, I asked Christina if the tip was included because the total sounded high and my only % tip options were 7, 5, and 3. Christina clearly said "no." I tipped over 20% and emailed myself the receipt. Yes, the tip was included (perfectly reasonable for a group) and (because I was told "no") I also tipped over the inflated total. I ended up tipping 53%! Yikes. We'll give the Folly TB a while to work out the bugs before we return. read more

Some of the best food on folly beach! On the island some good grub can be a little harder to find than some would lead you to believe but this place hit the spot. My margarita was delicious and my 3 tacos (the baja shrimp, the birria, and grilled shrimp) were some of the best tacos I've had in a long time. Walked right in and got seated immediately and our waitress was great, very personalable and got our order 100% correct with the four of us getting different tacos! I'm not a dog owner but dogs are allowed if you have one, just adds to great atmosphere if you ask me. Beans and rice were great as a side as well, can't ask for much more than that. If you're in folly beach or the surrounding area, give this place a try! read more

Taco Boy is steps away from the Folly Beach Pier! We were able to be seated outdoors for lunch without a reservation, although sadly their rooftop is only open on the weekends. They have a pretty big menu with plenty of vegetarian options. I loved that they had both vegan chorizo and jackfruit! I love jackfruit! My burrito was great, very filling. The jackfruit was on the sweet side (instead of savory), but the hot sauce helped balance it. We didn't like the drinks here. I tried the pineapple margarita, it had no flavor and tasted like it also had no alcohol. Kind of disappointing. They were also do not have tortas anymore and were out of the paloma I wanted. Seems like they're going through a bit of a menu change. Overall fine for a quick beach lunch! read more

Just had dinner with ten family members. Taco Boy is a crowd favorite with the eclectic tacos and mexican fare. Our Super Co waitress - Riley provides five star service to iur table. She was patient with some slow to read the menu family members. Riley took our orders, explained options, and every order was correct all around. She frequented the table often for special request, more drinks, and clean up detail. Thanks Riley for the great service and big smile during the process. read more

I went with a pretty large group and we were seated right away. The tacos were amazing!!! I ordered the 3 taco platter with the carnitas taco, tinga taco, and chicken bacon ranch taco. Out of them the carnitas was my favorite. Next time I would skip the tinga taco for another carnitas. The beans and rice were nothing special, still good though. A lower rating because the service wasn't great. When our food was dropped off half of us didn't have any utensils to eat it with. We asked for them but waited maybe like 5-10 minutes before we actually got them. The guy who brought our food out definitely just ignored us, we had to wait for the waitress to come back and ask again. Otherwise good food and good ambiance! read more

Had been hearing about this restaurant for years but sadly it didn't live up to the hype. To be fair, our experience was evidently not typical... but I wasn't thrilled. Everything seemed to need salt - particularly the guacamole. Our server didn't know much about the menu. A friend ordered a salad with shrimp that were inedible spicy; she was promised a serving of fried shrimp to replace them, but that didn't appear until we were almost done eating. Just not impressive. I'd call this a nice place to sit on a cool deck overlooking the beach and have a beer or margarita. read more

The vibe and service are awesome with a beachy feel literally right off the beach! The seating however is pretty uncomfortable outside on big picnic tables. And the birds are always going after your food! The menu is standard Mexican upscale tacos etc. Great drink menu however the drinks are very small of the price! The food is also overpriced for basic tacos etc but you are paying for the vibes. I used to go to the original taco boy when it was more of a taco shack inland. I'm happy to see this local brand thriving but do think it's over priced for what it is but that being said I'm sure we will be back to this location and the Nexton location. read more
