  Great find in Charleston and heavy competition for my Mount Pleasant favorite, Carmen Y Juan.
  
  This North Charleston shack is as authentic as can be. Inside is small but there's ample parking. They are so authentic, that they barely speak English so bring your best Spanish. Obviously the menu is in English so you can point what you want.
  
  Although in our experience, even with broken Spanish, they still mess up the order but it worked out in the end.
  
  I ordered the quesadilla, sope and a taco and mixed, barbacoa, carnita and chicken. The definite favorite was the quesadilla with the perfect mix of cheese and crispness. Next time I'm definitely going to get a juice or their horchata as I overlooked that but a Mexican coke to go with all this goodness, isn't bad either
  
  Prices are more than fair and you get a quick service. Definitely a new go-to spot when I'm in North Charleston

  I'm always on the hunt for authentic street tacos. Tex-Mex just isn't my thing... The tacos here are great! I tried my go to tacos... Carne Asada and Al Pastor. Homemade tortillas, good meat, and nice sides come with the tacos. They were filling and tasty! I particularly loved that they give you a side of grilled peppers and other goodies. One bite of taco, one bite of peppers/onions... mmmmm. I also ordered the horchata... holy horchata! That thing was huge! It came in a small pitcher which made it seem bigger than your typical Styrofoam cup. They had a good selection of salsa, which I appreciate. I love it spicy!
  
  They are cash only though, so make sure to have some handy. Not everyone is fluent in English but that's ok! Luckily there was someone there that could explain a couple things to me. Otherwise, just point and pay =) I will be back to try more than just tacos. Like some others say, don't let the exterior stop you from stopping in. You won't be disappointed.

  No frills restaurant offering authentic Mexican food. The dining area is small, booths are small, consider it cozy. Menu was originally wrote on big dry-erase board, in Spanish. It's still there but they've added translated menus in the last couple of months. Ive tried several different tacos...steak, pork, and chicken were all good. Recently tried there burritos. Wow, they are huge, big enough to share with someone else you are ready to gorge yourself.  Tacos are $2, burritos are $8. Great spot for lunch but beyond 1130 they often get really busy because the local work force loves this place, as do I. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the mood for some real authentic cooking and at an awesome price.

  All of the reviews were right; this place is amazing. We moved here from CA a few years ago and have been on the hunt for amazing Mexican food. We found just what we needed!  You won't be disappointed. Bring cash
