Authentic. Awesome. Affordable. Can't say enough good things about this place. Absolutely incredible burritos and tacos at a good price point. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the food is out of this world. Definitely my favorite burrito in Charleston. read more

Convenience store + mexican food? Couldn't ask for anything better! They have a variety of juice, soda, beer, wine, and Latin snacks, as well as household, personal, and car care items. Also have an ATM. Employees were nice. You order at the front counter and stand outside to wait for your food to be brought out to you. Ordered the chicken burrito (pico, rice, beans, shredded chicken, lettuce) and it was amazing. The chicken was well seasoned and tender. Other toppings complimented each other perfectly. Also tried the beef taco and I'll definitely be back for more of them! Beef was also well seasoned. Loved their sour cream on top. read more

What a gem to have in the neighborhood! You order food at the counter and wait outside for your name to be called. You can also order ahead. It moves quickly and the food is so fresh, flavorful, and affordable. We recently tried their breakfast burrito for the first time and it was a 10/10. The hashbrowns were so crispy too! read more

Torres Superettes - Steak breakfast burrito - Convenience Stores Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Their new Cali Burrito...genius!! So good I thought I was back in San Diego. No joke. Pair it with the mild salsa verde and you cannot go wrong. Reminded me of 3am and bad decisions! lol The chorizo breakfast burrito is phenomenal albeit a bit greasy but hey, early morning...that's what's needed. Do not miss this place! Oh, they're super friendly too! read more

Order your meal at the Convenience store counter and wait outside for your number to be called. They also have online ordering to avoid the line. I decided to get 2 Mexican carne asada tacos and then a ground beef hard taco. It was a bit of a wait because I came at the lunch rush but well worth it! Tacos were delicious! Great flavors. I got the spicy salsa and added on top for a nice kick too! read more

Torres Superettes - Tacos mexicanos, 1 carne asada 2 pork carnitas. - Convenience Stores Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

This spot is great. Unassuming. It's actually a market with a little taco shop in the back. No seating. I usually grab the grub and eat in the car or take it to Hampton Park. I recommend the tacos de lengua. My favorite. Tortas are fire! They are really busy around lunch so pick your time wisely. read more

Since moving to Charleston from Chicago a few years ago I haven't been able to find good, cheap tacos. We went for lunch and I got the lunch special. It was $12 for carnitas tacos, beans, rice, salad and a Diet Coke. Such a steal. Tastes almost like back home. You order at the counter and wait outside til they call your number. read more

Not sure what happened? Lady's up front are really bad at their jobs now. They will take your call and leave you on hold, taking peoples orders in person. You can hear it on the phone. They also leave the line open so no one can call and make a pick up order any way. Now you're forced to go to the store and make the order because they don't want to do their job read more

Ok- Good Mexican in a superette! Lines are always long yet we still come from James Island just for the carnitas- some of the most flavorful pork I have ever had and that's saying a lot for these neck of the woods. Not greasy, not fatty, and little bits of crunch throughout. But...... no carnitas today!! Ahhhhh! So let's talk about what we did get.....These guys must have been having a bad day...I got the veggie taco salad- I asked for no taco shell, but it comes with one if you want it- should've taken it- the salad was very small. My partner got the carne asada lunch plate. Flavor was great but it was chewy- Maybe a longer marinade time. Prices are very good- 9$ for not enough salad and large portion lunch plate was 10.99 with rice, beans and a soda, so that was good. Missing stars for the wait- like 30min on a weekday lunch rush, small salad, and NO CARNITAS. :( But like I said, good flavor! read more

The Mexican Tacos are great! Haven't had such great tacos since living in Austin. Really good food, served with fresh lime and a tasty green salsa with a nice kick. read more

The food is so great here! Hidden gem of NoMo area! Love that it is so close to Cormac community!

Possibly the best Mexican food in Charleston, and it is quick and affordable to boot.

What a treat to have this place recommended to me for its burgers by a Charleston foodie. Torres did not disappoint - cheddar cheeseburger came out piping hot wrapped in paper (only option is carry out) with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, onion, pickles and a secret sauce. Sounds like a Big Mac and taste was a little reminiscent but 10x better. I ate this so quickly I forgot to stop and take a photo! Fries are frozen (I think) but they were properly crisped and well seasoned. Hard to imagine hand cut fries - seemed too uniform. $8.00 (plus tax) for this awesome combo is a steal!! Can't wait to try the authentic Mexican dishes...or maybe I will just have to order another burger read more

I came in today having no idea they served food but this place is amazing!! The customer service was perfect, friendly and efficient. I waited maybe 5 minutes for my food even though there were a good amount of people ordering and it was only $9.96?! Not sure exactly what taco I got but holy mother it was good, everything was fresh and still warm by the time I got home! read more

Torres Superettes - Taco, beans, rice - Convenience Stores Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Torres' is quite under rated. I am loyal to their veggie burrito that is also vegan. It's $8. The vegan burrito is the most satisfying burrito in town. You might appreciate their yellow rice, avocado and veggie mix, beans, or simple the frickin salsa that is fire. I hope your pallet is harmonious with some spice because the salsa, both red and green, is flat out...hangover brunch cur3? Gurl, you have not yet had a proper fix. D.a.r.3. U. F*ck off to Torres and let's talk about it. read more

This place is phenomenal. Highly recommend. I had a steak quesadilla and my roommate got the chicken quesadilla and we damn near cried it was so good. Everyone who works here is so sweet and deserves a hug. Vibes are high in this establishment. Go get u some. read more

If you haven't found Torres yet, go check it out. If you're too lazy to try it, the only one missing out is you. This is hands down the best Mexican food in the county if not the state. If you don't try it, then fuck you. read more

Excellent food, super polite timely employees/service. Highly recommend. Surprisingly large menu too. read more

We can't come downtown charleston and not stop! Food.. amazing staff... polite and considerate... always packed and always worth the wait and served with a smile read more

I was referred to this hidden gem and upon arriving, I wasn't sure if I had the right spot. Entering, it is a store of convenience, but there is a huge menu above the counter. The lady who helped me was kind, patient and knowledgeable. But the food (steak burrito) was what stole the show for me! Get the spicy green sauce! Yum! It just goes to show, never judge a book by its cover. I would have never stopped for food here. Glad I did and will be back soon! read more

Amazing spot for authentic Mexican burritos

Rode my bike up here at the suggestion of a friend who said that it was a must-see on our exploration of Charleston. We arrived right around noon, but the line for food wasn't that bad. You have to order at the front register (menu is above your head) and then go to the back and wait while the magic happens. I ordered the cheeseburger and a pork carnitas taco. I ate the taco first. The first bite that I took was without the tomatillo sauce, and although the flavor was there, it was really dry. After that, I put the sauce in my taco, and each bit thereafter was very enjoyable. The cheeseburger was loaded with goodness, and every bite, from the first to the last, was epic. You don't get many burgers like this, and so when you do, you want to savor the flavor and maximize the experience. I would definitely come back for another cheeseburger, but I'd probably pass on this particular taco. read more

Awesome little lunch counter. I usually grab a burrito or torta and they're always fantastic, but you really can't go wrong. Their burgers and Philly cheesesteaks are also excellent. Affordable, quick, and some of the best food in town. Highly recommend. read more

This place is incredible! It's a hidden gem and I'm very happy it is in Charleston. The food is great, the people are very kind and friendly! They keep the store clean and are always making people in the store feel special! It's really a great place for quick needs! read more

Only tried the burritos so far. However, if that is the indication for the rest of the food consider me a fan. Huge burritos (think Homewreckers) filled with rice, beans, pico and meat. My favorite so far have been the Carnitas. Comes with a nice and spicy salsa verde. Bring your appetite for one of these big boys though because they are filling. Easily one of the better burrito to wallet damage ratios in town. read more

Oh my gosh! The burritos in the back of this store are hands down the best I've had. I love this place! The grocery store part is very small with minimal items beyond drinks, and only 3 aisles in the place. But tucked on the back wall is a taco truck style kitchen. Did I mention the burritos? Large hand rolled tortillas filled with rice, beans, steak (or chicken, shrimp, pork), pick and cheese. There's a line out the door everyday at lunch with all the locals on their lunch break. Order at the grocery counter, take your ticket and wait for the cook to call your number. The wait is about 10 minutes. Don't want to wait, call ahead. So worth the wait though!! read more

Burrito: Large and filling but needed more seasoning. Nachos: Huge but other than that nothing special. Also need some seasoning imo. Fast service and short wait times though. Typical corner store food. read more

If you're looking for a quick, casual bite, this is your place. The best nachos in Charleston? I've finally found it. Torres' nachos is filled to the top of the styrofoam to-go box with loads of meat (I like the ground beef), lettuce, jalapeños, tomatoes, melted cheese, and sour cream. The meat has lots of flavor that I haven't found any place else. Nachos are just $6.99! It can't get better than that! They're Tacos Mexicanos (the steak is my favorite) are also delicious. Get 3 for $6.99. They come with slices of lime to squeeze onto the tacos and a yummy green chili sauce. They also have quesadillas, hot dogs, and burgers. Torres is only open for lunch Monday-Saturday from 11am-3pm. Order at the front of the store and save your receipt to give to the cooks in the back when they call your number. The word is out and it's getting more and more busy these days for lunch! Although it's on a busy street, there is a large parking lot. It's better than Santi's in my opinion! The convenience store itself is very clean and cashiers are very nice. read more

Best tacos outside of Mexico. The owner is a very nice guy as well. All their food is good but the tacos are truly an out of body experience

The best Mexican food in Charleston. Definitely a hidden Gem. The tacos and quesadilla's are as good as they get.

Man been wanting to try this place out i pass it all the time. Got the burger and fries which were pretty damn good. Will try the Mexican food next time! Don't pass bc of the exterior this place is textbook " don't judge a book by its cover" read more

Cute little market, with authentic Mexican food in the back. Had the carnitas tacos and the cut of the meat was gourmet and the corn tortillas were toasted perfectly. Definitely will be back. read more

Don't think I'll ever drive by this place without craving it! The carnitas burrito is my weapon of choice, and boy is it good. The sauce they include is like a little bucket of spicy heaven. Can't wait to try everything on the menu. Quick service and excellent prices means I'll be back a lot. read more

GET THE BURGER! So good. One of my fav quick lunches in Charleston and sometimes they offer brunch on the weekend! Super friendly staff.

If you want authentic Mexican food this is the spot. A small tiny obscured kitchen lines the back area of the 20 year established convenience store. Definitely a local spot. No seat or tables. I get chicken burrito and authentic tacos to go or I eat them on the tailgate of my truck right there. Absolutely an amazing spot. Everyone that works here is nice. Don't be skeptical based on the looks from the outside. Go in and experience a local spot. read more

The Carnitas Tacos were Awesome!! First time here and there is no disappointment!! The Carne Asada tacos were equally as satisfying!! The flavors are so delightful and will leave you wanting more. The salsa verde has a little pleasurable kick to it but compliments the tacos beautifully!! Saving the Carnitas torta for later but judging by the Carnitas taco it we be just as amazing!! read more

I stumbled across the Torres superette for the first time 5 days ago and I've already been back 4 times! They have a food counter at the back of the store that serves incredible Mexican food and also hot dogs burgers etc. they offer a very reasonable lunch special daily that usually includes a drink. I've tried the tacos, quesadilla, and fajitas and all have been delicious. The store is also extremely clean and all of the staff are very friendly. I would definitely recommend supporting this local family owned business. I will be telling all of my friends! read more

Well, this appears to be the best we'll get around here. Carnitas were spot on, nothing fancy here just tasty cuisine. They need to keep up the good work and may be toss out a table or two. read more
