👍👍 In Charleston for the weekend and this was our first meal here. I’d never thought about pairing Mexican cuisine with sushi but I must admit it’s a great pair. The chips and salsa were wonderful. The seasoning on the chips gave them great flavor and the salsa was super fresh. The tacos were amazing....

👍👍 Four of us ate at a high top table in the bar area. Our waitress was on point and recommended the chicken soup when I told her I was looking for a lighter option. The soup was delicious! The chicken was tender and the broth was amazing. The rice, veggies, and cilantro on the side allowed the din...

Rancho Lewis
Mexican restaurant
👍👍 We moved here 2 years ago from Colorado and this is some of the best Mexican we've had here! I love the idea of the salsa bar, we tried all of them! Food comes out super fast! Which makes sense with the relatively limited menu, so I'm assuming they make trays of the enchiladas and burritos making t...

El Coyote Bar & Grill
Mexican restaurant
👍 Everything tasted pretty good, but the portion sizes were smaller than other Mexican restaurants in the area. The chips and salsa did not taste like they were made on the premises and were similar to chips and salsa that were store bought. Cheesesteak was pretty awesome.

👍👍 Burritos, burgers, brews, Black Sheep has it all. We started with the loaded fries which honestly were some of the best I've ever had. California burrito with corn potato salad was delicious. Argentinian burger was also amazing. Definitely recommend coming here if you're in Charleston.

👍👍 Ru Ru's far exceeded my expectations. We ordered nachos with steak and added guac. They were the most well layered nachos in terms of toppings on chips that I've ever had. The steak had great flavor and was cooked perfectly. We also ordered the fried fish taco and shrimp taco which were very large a...
