"Opened in West Ashley in 2012 by Dave and Chrissy Lorenz near the Avondale area of Highway 61, Mex 1 Coastal Cantina aims to serve fresh, flavorful Baja Mexican fare and premium tequilas in a friendly, laidback, 'come as you are' atmosphere that embodies the surfing and coastal lifestyle of the Baja Peninsula. I learned the local mini-chain will offer a secret, off-the-menu “Big Papa Nachos” on November 6 (National Nacho Day): a 14-pound, $75 mega platter of house tortilla chips topped with chicken, pork carnitas, fried shrimp, queso, guacamole, sour cream, tomatoes, and jalapeños — a dish billed as likely to make Charleston Instagram history. Would you shell out $75 for a pile of chips, pork, chicken, and shrimp?" - Erin Perkins
