The food was amazing. The staff was very nice, though communication was sometimes difficult. There was no wait when we came in. We got our food quickly. The tables were clean. This place is a hole in the wall with good food and kind people. read more

I had a bit of a mixed experience. They were out of birria, brisket, and fish. As a result, I defaulted to carnitas and chicken on my street tacos. When the food came out, it was just meat on tortillas. They have a condiment bar with fresh onion, cilantro, pico, etc. along with a variety of salsas. After adding toppings, the food was excellent. I would like to return at another time when they aren't out of so many menu items. read more

Definitely a hole in the wall so I was hopeful of getting some authentic style tacos. Not the cleanest and most organized place, because it looked partially rented or renovating so I wasn't sure. It was interesting to find the bathroom and once I did there was a pungent cigarette smell that threw me off. Service was quick, we got the 5 taco combo which priced at ($2.50) and taco, or else if you ordered them a La carte they were $5.50?? Not sure why but that's why we got the combo bc it made more sense. We got 4 mini size tacos with corn tortilla, and the 5th one came in a large size flour tortilla which was confusing. Flavor was good but needed more seasoning on the meat. But they had a nice salsa bar which is always a plus. We may come back and try something else. read more

We have passed this little gem so many times and have said "we need to try Taco Kitchen"! Well today was the day and we were not disappointed! This is authentic Mexican food! I had the jumbo burrito and it was jumbo. Filled with delicious steak...not like the strips of steak like most Mexican restaurants use but big slices of tender steak, peppers & onions (that weren't cooked to death, but still had some crunch), pico, refried beans, lettuce and sour cream. It was served with the BEST charro beans I have ever eaten and rice. All of this for only $11.50 and I could not eat it all! My husband ordered the Mexican-Sampler which included 1 beef enchilada, 1 crunchy taco, 2 flautas, 1 soft taco (which was huge), refried beans, rice, guacamole lettuce and sour cream. Tons of food.... He could not finish all of his either. Don't be fooled by the lack of cars our front, customers were coming and going the entire time we were eating lunch. If you haven't tried this place, you are missing out! read more

I originally planned to eat lunch tacos here but when I saw they had breakfast burritos, I had to try them. I went with the potatoes ala mex. They reminded me of the meximelts Taco Bell used to sell years ago but with potatoes. Sooooo good. I ate two and they were pretty big- very full and almost couldn't finish last few bites- but I powered through. The tortillas the tacos were made with were amazing too I would eat them solo with some honey. We also go the cheese sauce for my youngest. I loved the sauce itself but my only gripe would be about the chips. They were thicker than I prefer my chips and were bordering on stale. The inside isn't anything fancy. It reminded me of some taquerias I used to go to on Fort Worth's North Side, which made me very nostalgic. The employee I gave my order to was very nice and the wait was fine for a small establishment. Will definitely be back to try lunch tacos. read more

We had lunch at Taco Kitchen right after church since I have been wanting to try the food at this restaurant and it didn't disappoint us at all! The place might not look special from the outside and they serve your food in to go boxes but the quality and taste of their food is exceptional. The street tacos, beef fajitas, and their tamales were the bomb! The homemade salsa sauces and green salsa sauce were amazing. The food were fresh and made to order. They food really remind me on mexican food we ate during our trip in Mexico years ago. I recommend this little gem of Mexican food in West Ashley. read more

The best part of the tacos was the authentic corn tortillas which had a nice nutty, sweet corn flavor. The wife and I each ordered 2 tacos, one grilled and one fried. The fried taco was very large and the better of the two. The plate came with a side of flavored red rice with cheese on top which we both enjoyed. There was a salsa sauce bar with a nice variety of options. Everything was good, not nothing stood out as amazing. read more

Food and Services are excellent. Ambiance and maintenance of areas needs a little help. Highly recommend.

My husband, 3 Year old and I stopped in yesterday between lunch and dinner. There were a couple tables taken and they seemed to be busy hopefully with takeout. When you walk in you order at a counter, pay and then they go back and cook it and bring it out. Everything is in take out containers and let's talk about the salsa bar! Yummmmm! I love when places do this! We ended up ordering chips (not included) and rice for our son. And my husband got the Acapulco Burrito: worlds famous rice, beans, lettuce, guacamole, sour cream, shrimp, chicken and steak fajita, topped with a green sauce and usually white cheese sauce but it wasn't ready. And I for once wanted a little bit of the norm and ordered their classic burrito with ground beef, refried beans, rice, lettuce, pico, sour cream, and cheese inside served with chips. I ordered mine no sour cream but added guacamole. And we grabbed a ton of salsas, pickled jalapeños, and omg their mango pico was insane! So fresh and my son also ate a ton! I love supporting local and it doesn't get better than this! They make their own tortillas, salsas, etc. I really look forward to trying their breakfast. Go support! read more

While we have our share of Mexican restaurants, Taco Kitchen brings street tacos, burritos and fajitas to West Ashley. My husband and I tried it after in-person absentee voting at Seacoast Church recently. Tacos are my go-to at Mexican restaurants, and these fish tacos didn't disappoint. The fish tacos are $4 each and the size of a small burrito. The tortillas are homemade, hot, and delicious, and the fish is seasoned well. My husband had the carne asada plate, which he said was tender. He tried the steak street tacos on another occasion and says this is his favorite spot for authentic Mexican. Our bill was under $30, and you get a lot for your money. I returned a few weeks later to try the jumbo burrito with shrimp, which lived up to its "jumbo" name, especially for the low price of $10.50. The salsa bar has about ten different kinds of salsa ranging from mild to very spicy. I appreciated the disposable gloves at the salsa bar, as well as the hand sanitizer and plexiglass coverings while we deal with COVID. Taco Kitchen is more of a takeout spot and doesn't have a bar- and we're fine with that since we're not eating inside restaurants right now anyway. The Savannah Hwy. location is very convenient to 526 with a red light to help you turn left leaving the parking lot. read more

I was in the area and wanted to grab something quick to eat. Found this spot on Yelp and saw that it was well reviewed. I swung by and ordered the street tacos, 2 steak and 2 fish tacos to go. It didn't take long for my order to come out and I was surprised to see it came with a small side of pinto beans. The food was delicious. I will be stopping by here again the next time I'm in town and I will eat in and try some more items from the menu. Highly recommend! read more

Wow, what a find! We happened across Taco Kitchen while running errands and thought, "why not?" Our decision was well rewarded. They have a salsa bar with many options. All freshly made and really tasty. My daughter had the chicken flautas. The chicken was very tender yet with a crispiness. The beans were fresh and homemade, and the rice perfect. I had the mucho grande burrito with steak and it was also so well done. Having moved from El Paso after 11 years, we were spoiled by the fresh, authentic (homemade), Mexican fare. Since moving to SC, this is the absolute most authentic Mexican food we were accustomed to back in El Paso. An absolute must for anyone looking for something authentic and delicioso! read more

This is a hidden gem, located just before the on-ramp for the 526 on 17/Savannah Highway heading towards Charleston. There's a tiny dining space and I imagine much of the business is take out. The food is fresh, fast, and utterly delicious. There's an array of sauces (I tried them all!) to add to your dish; such lovely flavors. If you enjoy authentic food, make a point to visit Taco Kitchen. read more

Delicious food! So glad to finally be able to try this spot out. I ordered the lunch special and it was a fajita bowl, tortillas, and a drink. Seasoning was great and I was very pleased with the meal. It's easy to miss the location, and it is on the right if you're on 17 heading towards downtown right before 526. A great local business with delicious food! read more

Conveniently located down the road from my office, and so I stopped in here to pick up lunch on the way home last week. I ordered two fish tacos. Apparently there's fish taco, and fancy fish taco. I tried the fish taco, but will give the fancy fish a try next time. I was happy with the size and taste of the taco. The tortilla was made in house, and you can tell by how different it was from store bought tortilla. Much better texture and flavor. The wait time for the food once my order was placed was about five minutes. Not bad at all. Will be back again in the near future. read more

I never leave reviews but the burritos here are amazing! They're fresh, not like the normal greasy burrito that leaves you feeling gross after. they're huge too! I got a burrito that was easily the size of two normal ones. Overall, I implore everyone to give this place a try, the food was fantastic! Will be back. read more

I was on a trip with five other people, we decided to get something to eat before we went to the airport in Charleston, so we tried this place, I had the asado tacos. They were good,and the meat was tender. be careful with the individual sauces that you can use. I couldn't find a mild or medium. They're all too Hot. read more

Food was fantastic. I wish they offered more things as a burrito though, like carnitas burritos. They do have others on the menu. Their sauces were flavorful. I asked if i could get a carnitas burrito. She said, taco? i said, burrito, if that's possible. Since carnitas tacos are on the menu. If they don't have that then i'd get a bean and cheese burrito. She rang up a side order of beans and a carnitas burrito. I said, it's 2 burritos. She rang up 2 carnitas with the side order. I then spoke Spanish that it was 2 different burritos. In which, she frustratingly replied with, bean & cheese taco? I said again, burrito. That was a strange encounter. But the food was worth it. She did get a carnitas burrito made for me. Maybe stick to just what the menu says to avoid confusion. read more

Best breakfast burritos and salsa bar. I haven't had lunch or dinner here, but any breakfast burrito I have tried has been amazing. Leaving a review because I don't want this "hole in the wall" place to go out of business but also it's the best kept secret. Homemade tortillas so SAY LESS. I believe they take call ahead orders for take out. Free parking. read more

This food is delicious! I got two tacos plus the chips with queso and it was so much food that I had to take some home. The carnitas and steak tacos had tender meat in them with fresh cilantro. The texture and thickness of the tortillas was perfect. I'll be back to try their breakfast, which they serve all day long. read more

Went here for the first time today and it's become my favorite taco place. Upon walking in, the owner (?) was so friendly and welcoming - probably one of the most personable and interactive owners I've seen in a long time. You can tell he's just a very kind man and loves what he does. The food itself was delicious. We ordered the street tacos (two brisket and two steak since it comes in a set of 4). We also got the Mexi-sampler and a horchata. Both portions were huge and definitely filled us up. The meat was tender and flavorful. My usual problem with chicken at most restaurants is that it's dry, but the chicken that came in the Mexi-sampler wasn't at all. Not only were flavors and portion sizes perfect, it was also presented so beautifully. We added our own salsa from the salsa bar (there's so many different sauces but I liked the chile limon the best). The horchata was also so good. I usually don't get horchata because it can taste too much like a candle, but I think they add coconut milk to theirs. It was absolutely amazing - good thing they have free refills. Overall, I have no complaints and all the praises. This is my new go-to taco spot in town. read more

Great tacos and salsa bar. Little expensive compared to other options and they don't actually open at 9 (more like 9:30)

Went by on a Saturday afternoon and we're the only people there. Food was OK, but nothing spectacular like the reviews indicate. Taco reminded me of high school cafeteria lunch. Not sure if tortillas are made there but the food tasted like what you get at a grocery store. read more

It's a nice little place to eat, friendly people & you have plenty to choose from on the menu.

As with all good Mexican restaurants, this one is in an unassuming building in a part of town where you wouldn't normally look for good food-but good food is to be had here, don't let the building or location fool you! Their official English menu is a little slim, but you can ask for any meat style you want and they will have it, as well as the little treats such as esquite! I got a carnitas burrito but tried their tacos as well, and everything was delicious-and cheap! Definitely come check this place out! read more

What a nice surprise! Delicious fresh tacos and salsas. Loved the tortillas! I had the chicken fajita taco and my husband had the carnitas. We tried a red and green salsa from the salsa bar. Both very tasty. The owner came out to chat with us and said they had been there since 6am! His wife runs the kitchen. (Breakfast taco menu looked good!). He was very friendly and even offered us an order of guacamole when we said it was our first time there. We loved it! We had our fog with is so we sat at the single table on the front patio.
