Best authentic Mexican food! Mainly tacos, also have delicious ceviche and burritos are huge!
Great place, very authentic but hard to navigate on your first visit. So basically you order how ever many tacos you want (I'd say at least 3). They come with a tortilla and meat only. Your server will bring a tray to the table with onions, cilantro, limes, pineapple, and hot sauces to dress your tacos how you want them. I opted to get a burrito instead of tacos and it was huge (and delicious). Definitely worth the price. I have no idea how much drinks cost because it's not on the menu but I paid 2 for a bottle of water (no tap water). Pay in cash only.
We're from Minneapolis, where East Lake Street has some of the best Mexican food in the Midwest. And for a second I thought I was at my favorite place eating tacos. They being all the fixings for your tacos out to the table. Huge fan, will be back.
Tacos were incredible, they had all the toppings, even pineapple which isn't common. The waiter was helpful and patient. Absolutely worth it. Very very well priced too! Theyre cash only but will accept Zelle for payment
Carnitas were awesome, honestly some of the best Spanish food I had in south Carolina Beaufort area. They give onion and pineapple with special sauces on the side uhh too good recommended hidden spot!!!!!!!!!!!!
We went on a Tuesday night at 9. We were the only patrons at first. The kids in the group were weary of ordering from the slightly off color pictures in the menu, but when the first round of tacos came out they were asking the waiter to keep them coming. The steak tacos were by far the favorite of the night. By the time we were leaving, many of the tables were full with patrons. If you like more authentic Mexican food, this is a must visit. We will certainly be stopping by again. One thing to note is that this is a Cash only establishment, however, there is a gas station next door with an ATM (3 fee).
I have worked on Hilton Head Island for 7 years. I have a hard time finding good food. I know what good food is supposed to taste like. The chicken Torta from here is better than anywhere I have ever had one.
