We stopped by Taco Boy in Nexton Square to celebrate my daughter's best friend's birthday, and somehow it turned into a little mommy-daughter date too, which made the afternoon even better. We tried the guacamole and street corn, and both were really good. The guacamole portion was HUGE, so come ready to share! The loaded nachos definitely lived up to the name with plenty of toppings, pico, crema, beans, and a big scoop of guacamole. Everything tasted fresh, the portions were generous, and the atmosphere was colorful, fun, and laid-back. It was perfect for a birthday celebration but also gave us a chance to sit, eat, laugh, and enjoy some unexpected mother-daughter time. I am quite sure Taco Boy will see us more Fridays than usual from now on as that seems to be the spot for our mother daughter meet ups going forward!! read more

Taco Boy - Mexican Near Me - Summerville, South Carolina

What a cool place! The interior design and decor is very bright and inviting. There's a "greenhouse" type of space inside that has a glass enclosure with lots of hanging plants everywhere. I just loved the vibe! My birria and carne asada tacos were certainly not authentic but decent. The birria one tasted good when dipped in the consommé. The carne asada taco was more filling than carne asada but all ingredients tasted fresh. The rice & beans were bland but not the worst I've ever had. My husband and I also shared chips with queso & guacamole, which were both pretty good and I'd order them again. I'd recommend checking this place out and deciding for yourself ;) read more

Went in to celebrate a high school graduate. We had large party of 9, got seated quickly. Waitress was very nice and attentive. Food came out fast and everyone's order was correct. Everyone loved their food and several took some of their meal home bc it was too much. Ambiance was nice and they had something on the tv for the kids as well as the adults. It was my first time being here as we live out of state, but we loved their food and would recommend them. read more

Aislin at the bar was super nice and attentive. She was also very personable! Carne asada taco was my favorite! Tender meat + the savory sauce, just delicious. Baja fish taco came with a mango slaw last year, but they changed it to a rainbow slaw which was pretty unimpressive. Bring back the mango slaw! Grilled shrimp taco was also still very good, same as I've always had. read more

My first experience at Taco Boy did not disappoint! I loved the decor inside and out. The Mexican cultural themes were on point and very festive. The wafting smells of carne asada made my mouth water as we entered. We had to wait about 10 minutes on a Saturday evening, but took that time to walk around the adjacent shops before receiving a text message to return. Then we were seated on the patio, which was very nice and cool on a hot Summer day. We ordered chips and dips, margaritas, and tacos. They were also very delicious, and filled our bellies. The cheese dip was dangerously good. I also really like the Korean kim chi taco and the spicy firecracker shrimp taco. The bill was about $80 for two people before tip, which included two premium drinks (not too bad). I will definitely go back again! read more

Date of visit: 07/27/2025 After completing the first leg of my road trip to the northeast I decided on a stop in Summerville and needed to eat at Taco Boy. I have been to the TB in Folly Beach, both the new high-rise and the older, I believe the first TB on the main drag in Folly so I needed to try this location. As I drove up on the place I could tell this was gonna be different experience than Folly. Then I walked inside and knew It was different. This was quiet and laid back, a more family place. Not that Folly isn't a family place but it has more action since it's on the beach. The food, I decided on the (2) Taco special that comes with black beans and rice. Firecracker shrimp and Carnitas tacos were my pick. I had BL as I waited. The service on this visit was great since I was sitting at the bar which only had a couple people sitting. The food arrived and looked great. After mixing the beans and rice together I put a little TB Danger sauce on it and that spiced it up. I even put a little on the Firecracker Taco, wow... In conclusion this was a good first stop on my road trip. Follow me to see where I go next. Peace. read more

The restaurant was a fairly nice size. It had a long bar when you entered with indoor seating with two levels and an enclosed patio. The restrooms were in the back of the restaurant. The vibrant colors with decor filled the place with TVs hanging above the bar and the stain glass windows were radiant. The restaurant was packed for an event, but the service was great. Our waitress was attentive. I really enjoyed the non-alcoholic margarita. It was very refreshing. I loved the take on the cheeseburger quesadilla. There is an accessible parking lot right outside of the restaurant. read more

This is a decent taco place to try. This place isn't anything crazy but I really like the atmosphere that it has to offer and they're receiving inside and outside as well to enjoy. The service is really great when it comes to staff, taking care of their customers. There are plenty of options on the menu. The Elote bowl of corn was not my favorite and the flavor was missing. However, I really enjoyed my lettuce wraps and the spiciness of the shrimp. I will absolutely go back and try other things and probably get the shrimp wrap again. read more

We come to this location often and it never disappoints! I am a slut for Mexican food, tac-hoe if you will Their tacos never disappoint and I have had all of them! My favorites are the firecracker with shrimp and the carnitas, but again, you can't go wrong! Another must, is the frozen screwdriver. Tastes exactly like the o.g. just frozen! Regardless of your taste, taco boy has something to fit your flavor. In the voice of Flavor Flav, Taco Boyyyyy! read more

I went a second time and ordered three tacos with rice and beans. I didn't even get to pick up the tacos. They were soaked in sauce to the point they fell apart. I ended up scooping what I could with my fork but wish I had a spoon I did enjoy the black beans. I have multiple cans of black beans at home from cleaning out a moveout and didn't realize how good they were and the yellow rice was a nice new thing to try My husband liked the candle on the table as we chose this restaurant to celebrate him going halfway through radiation therapy for his cancer He liked the black beans too. read more

I have visited this Taco Boy so many times. The service has always been okay. The servers check back pretty often but are often slow to get started at the table. The restaurant is clean. I find this Taco Boy to be particularly loud. This time, I got the quesidilla, and I LOVED it. The spiciness was just right. I peeled most of the quesidilla's innards out of the tortilla because of the card cotent, but the tortilla was good. It could have just a bit more crunch. All-in-all, I would call this a good experience. read more

Def a 3.5- great service, nice ambience/vibe and a fair amount of vegetarian options. Crispy avocado tacos, vegan chorizo and also a roasted cauliflower one! Chips cost extra but were nicely salted. Also their mexican street corn dip was great as a side. I didn't realize there are multiple locations until I started searching to write this! read more

This is my second time here and it's such a cute stop for Mexican food. The first time we came we didn't get food, we just got a pitcher of the frozen strawberry margaritas. Which is such a good deal for $45 considering they're $10 a piece. Last night, we went for dinner and got drinks as well. We ordered a frozen mango and pineapple passion fruit margarita. Both were very good. When you get there, you are brought a bowl of fried chickpeas and water. We ordered chips and salsa, a crispy americano, a soft americano, and a soft baja shrimp taco. Presentation was good and the food was super flavorful. Our servers both times have been very nice and attentive the whole time. Definitely recommend. read more

Taco Boy in Nexton has a nice vibe. Large spacious indoor and enclosed, outdoor area. Colorfully decorated and inviting atmosphere. They have a huge two sided bar that looks to seat about 25 people inside and looked to seat the same outside The music was upbeat just the right volume. I was greeted by two young ladies with the biggest smiles that looked like they enjoy their jobs. My waitress, Amy, was nice as well and great to chat with. I went with the Platos Grandes with three tacos, Spanish rice, and black beans. My tacos were a complete mixture: Kimchi Beef, Chicken Tinga, and the classic Taco Americano. I was enjoying my meal not to long after I ordered and everything was delicious! Will definitely be checking this place out again soon. Oh, as I'm leaving I noticed there is a play area outside of the enclosed greenhouse patio area. Neat. read more

Well went in to order to go crab and shrimp quesadilla and got the appetizer for crab and shrimp which tasted like shit! Also I told her the one I wanted was $19. You'd think she would have looked at the price of the appetizer ($14) and knew I wasn't wanting that. My total bill was $21.33. As for the service, well the lady at the front must not have understood me when I said I did not want the appetizer! The place looked great but service needs to improve when you take an order! Suggest providing patron with menu to select from! Great ambiance! read more

Taco Boy - 1/2 of the order I received getting thrown away! Corn shell not like and beans were way overcooked! - Mexican Near Me - Summerville, South Carolina

Had high expectations for this place thinking they would have a good menu on Cinco de Mayo as advertised online but they were not aware of the special but we didn't find this out until after a fifteen minute. Basically quesadillas and tacos not my kind of Cinco Only stayed for a margarita and I wasn't impressed by the use of margarita mix, my kind is with the fresh squeezed limes and Cointreau but it is understandable. This is another bar where they add a credit card fee and the fee is also taxed wether you pay cash or credit card My check was 18 for the two margaritas Tax should have been 9% sales tax plus the 2% hospitality tax for the city of Summerville The other 3% is a mystery tax They didn't even have change and I ended up paying 21 dollars in cash So basically the tax was close to 17% Not going back ever A wapping 14% sales tax read more

Heard lots of good things so decided to give it a try. Pleasantly surprised at the extensive menu. Tried three different tacos. The shrimp taco and the boom boom shrimp taco were to die for good.

OH BOY! I visited the Taco Boy is in Summerville, which is one of their 3 locations. When I arrived there was a little wait, which was to be expected since I arrived during peak hours on a Friday. My group sat at the bar while we waited for a table. The restaurant seemed to be a little short staffed as all of the tables were not being utilized, but they didn't let that stop them! Once seated I ordered a casa margarita on the rocks with chips and salsa. The chips and salsa were plentiful, but they come at a charge, unlike other Mexican establishments. For my meal I enjoyed the veggie soup quesadilla paired with Mexican rice. This is by far the best veggie quesadilla I've ever had, the vegetables were seasoned SO well!! The atmosphere of Taco Boy is very bright and they even have a greenhouse with seating that they open up during the warmer months. There even a cute wall for photo ops. read more

It's my first time here, visiting on a Monday afternoon. We ordered to go, and the food was good... Had the trio salsa and the quesabirria. Im give four stars because, during the waiting ( at the bar), the bartender never asked if we wanted something while we waited.... She could make more money if her customer service were slightly more serious. I ended up screaming twice to get her attention.... After I order my drink, her tone change but the drink was absolutely disgusting. She did not even take the time to shake my margarita, she simply served the tequila and lime juice that tasted old and added a lime wedge... hopefully, she gets better training. Good luck Taco Boy. read more

Love the Greenhouse! Awesome atmosphere with great service, delicious food and drinks

My children and I went here for dinner while we were in town for a ball tournament. The restaurant ambiance was nice but unfortunately that's the only thing positive I could say. The food was horrible! We had the salsa trio - all three were so spicy we couldn't eat them. Then we each had the two taco dinner with beans and rice. Rice was dry. Beans were mush. Tacos were so spicy they were inedible. The waiters reply was "oh sorry you didn't like the food, next time get the quesadilla" It was a horrible experience. My kids were so disappointed bc they love Mexican food. read more

Food was great! We had the Americana taco, the chicken, bacon and ranch taco and the firecracker shrimp taco. Would rank the firecracker shrimp the best but all 3 were great and I'll order them each again. House margarita was a bit weak but still delicious. Had the jalapeño pickle shots and we were warned the pickle back was actually jalapeño juice and we did not listen lol...it was spicy!!! Delicious but spicy. Will definitely be back to try the Tijuana dog. read more

I visited the new Taco Boy in Nexton for the first time last night and for some reason my review of the one downtown from years ago is under this business. Not sure why Yelp would do that but seems unfair to a newly established restaurant, even if they have other locations nearby. We met some out of town family here for dinner. They had been seated before us in the rather lovely greenhouse like seating area. The restaurant is similar to the downtown location in the inside with decor but much higher ceilings giving it a more open vibe. I was super impressed with the entire space- indoor and out. Our server was great. Drinks were always full. Food came out perfect. We had a great evening and I look forward to coming back since it is much closer than the downtown location. read more

The food was excellent. I started with the guacamole and chips, which were served in a generous portion and were very flavorful. For my main course, I ordered the "Choose Any Three Tacos" special for $20, selecting the birria, firecracker, and carnitas tacos. All three were flavorful and well-prepared. The service was attentive and friendly. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

The drinks were not that great. I tasted more of the mix. Sadly salsa and chips are not complimentary. You have to purchase them separately but it's still good. Has a nice little kick. Our waitress didn't seem like she really wanted to be there yet alone wait on us. I felt like she was rushing us to leave. I love to ask what are their recommendations on the menu as well specials going on and it she seemed like she didn't have any nor cared to suggest. Maybe it was an off day for her. She def kept our water cups full. You take a sip and she was back to fill it before you had a chance to swallow it. We eventually just paid for our food and left to go to another establishment where we are not being rushed. We definitely had a table full of food so wasn't like we were just occupying an empty table and taking up space. The patio are is very nice but there was a constant drip of water. Yes it's just water but hopefully it doesn't drip onto peoples food as they are delivering it to the tables. read more

The last time that I was in Charleston we ate at Taco Boy and I loved the food and service so I wanted to dine here again. When I chose this location I assumed that it was the same one but it was another one. This location was a lot bigger than the downtown location and was located in a plaza with other businesses. We went on a weekday in the evening but we didn't have to wait for a table. When we were initially seated we were seated away from other patrons but the longer that we stayed the more people they put right next to us. It was definitely too close for comfort in the middle of a pandemic. Our server was Kayla E. She was not really personable. I ordered the same thing that I got at the downtown location. A fish taco and an americano taco with flour shells. I also got the street corn. The street corn and the americano taco were good. The fish taco was not good and tasted different than the other location. My mom ordered the cowboy nachos. It was huge. Def enough to share with multiple people. The cheese was placed in the center of the nachos and not along the sides of it so my mom asked for more cheese. Kayla basically told her that there was cheese on it already and that if she wanted more that she would have to pay for extra cheese. Then she just walked away without saying anything. Some time later another employee brought over extra cheese. We were not charged for the extra cheese however when I looked at my bank account my card was run for an extra $6.00. I called the business to tell them about the issue and I was told by a manager that she would call me back in an hour because they were in the middle of their lunch rush. After several hours of not hearing back from her, I called her back. She did reverse the charge and it went back on my card after a few days. Based upon this experience, I would not return to this location. read more
