Taco Boy Charleston

A great place to get a variety of tacos and other Mexican dishes. The place is usually chill during the afternoon and becomes more exciting as the night rolls in. They have a great bar that makes good margaritas, and they do not skimp on the alcohol. The tacos themselves are pretty sizeable and delicious. There are plenty of side dishes that you can get as well, and they are equally appealing. The dining area is clean and the staff are friendly. Overall a good place to go to if you want lunch or dinner to start the night off.

The food wasn't bad. However, for the price, I expected more flavor. I paid $19 for the enchiladas which seemed very small and a street corn. The server was very attentive.

Menu changes, and not for the better. I am a former Charleston resident who has eaten at Taco Boy many, many times over the years. Currently in town and stopped in for some takeout lunch. I ordered two single tacos, and an order of guacamole and chips. I am incredibly disappointed with my meal. Taco portion sizes are tiny, I mean tiny for the price. I am a normal size person, and it took just a few bites for the taco disappear. Two $6 dollar tacos should be a meal, not a snack. The flavors were fine, however, portion sizes used to be much larger for single tacos. The tacos at taco boy used to be “special“ and now they’re just… tacos… Additionally, the guacamole was over salted. Hoping they realize they may have made some mistakes with their menu updates. However, I probably won’t be returning.

We had a very sweet waitress and everyone liked their food. We will def be back. Great parking with huge lot which is hard to find in the city.

Food was amazing! Mushroom/queso empanadas and the crab/shrimp empanadas were awesome, I got the Al pastor, carne asada and grilled Mahi tacos and my gf got the Al pastor quesadilla. We were seated after a short wait, then were forgot about apparently management fell through with seating coverage. A table was seated several minutes after we were, their order was taken before ours and the waiter for that table asked if we had been waited on. He then let whoever was in charge know we haven’t been served and then they finally let our waitress know she had a new table. Renee was extremely apologetic and redeemed our thoughts for the place. If it hadn’t been for Renee this would be a 1-STAR service review!!! Thank you Renee and your service was great.

It was pretty good but a few of us ordered birria and the kitchen hadn't told the servers that they were out of consomme - so they brought it out anyway even though it was missing a MAJOR element rather than offering us the choice to pick something else- it was still pretty good, but def on the greasy side. The salsa was fresh/tasty.

Food was good, staff were nice, and we were able to bring our dogs on their very nice patio. Completely caught off guard by the charge for a second soda when I had two refills. Sure, it's only $3, but I don't recall being charged for refills at any restaurant in the last 20 years or so. Very strange policy.

Sigh, I wish I knew more about it not being an authentic Mexican restaurant but since my friend had picked it and saw it on TikTok, I wanted to give it a try. I was excited because they had outdoor seating and I was able to bring my dogs. After looking at the ridiculous prices on the menu, I had a great feeling the food was going to be terrible. $6 for a single taco? a single taco that tasted like a grease ball? (I got the "birria" taco). Yeah hard pass. My friend got the 3 taco platter with the smallest servings. I rather go to an actual Mexican restaurant to get a bang for my bucks. I would never go back. The service wasn't great. The ambiance is nice but thats what you are actually paying for. Such a let down.

This is a staple Mexican place for us- the wait for a table is minimal, the drinks are great and the outside are makes it a pleasant enough to sit and chill while waiting for a table. If you have kids the outdoor area has games and space for them to blow off some steam away from tables and the bar. The food here is always solid and tasty, service always great. My only complaints are it's too dark - can't read the menu - and the music is just too loud.

So bummed with this experience. Taco Boy used to be one of my favorite casual restaurants in Charleston. It was pretty much dead inside at lunch time... A lot of workers but none really rushing to wait on any of the folks I saw sitting down at the time. Unfortunately the food has taken a turn for the worse. I think their old menu was much better and wish they would revert back to some of the favorites that were on there. The tacos looked extremely sad... not at all what I'm used to from Taco Boy (see pictures.) Wish their slaw did not contain fruit (watermelon and mango) in it as some people don't like sweet or fruit in their tacos. So if you ask for no watermelon/mango radish slaw, you basically get no toppings... although I asked for no slaw in both of the tacos, but they still omitted other toppings as well even though that was not requested. Also asked the bartender for a bottle of the danger sauce to which she said they don't have anything by that name. Found that odd since they've always had it, but asked for something spicy in its place... she brought out a yellow salsa that was apparently spicy but was sweet and tasted like fruit. Ended up asking if they had any hot sauce at all which is when she put two bottles on the table, one of which was danger sauce. I showed her the bottle and told her that was the danger sauce I was referring to, which it says on the front. Overall just not a great experience from either the staff or from a food perspective. Hope they are able to turn things around, as I'll certainly miss the good times and quality I experienced previously!

If I could leave zero stars I would and that's sad to say because we have been regular patrons of this Taco Boy since it opened many years ago. And as someone who spent years working in f&b I am fully sympathetic and understanding of an 'early night' However....at 8:45pm we called this restaurant to make sure their kitchen was still open and they said on the phone 'yes til 10pm!'. So we arrived at 9pm sharp and immediately ordered but not before noticing that the bartender was very busy closing up the bar and we could see the kitchen staff already scrubbing the floors. We reluctantly ordered and were told that all the beers were tapped out and the first two things I ordered were 'not available' which was clearly code for they had already broken that down for the night. So we ordered finally and got our chips and salsa right away. From where we were seated I could see the kitchen expo window in the reflection and noticed half our order was up. I also notice the kitchen was closing up even more and could hear staff saying they were hoping to get out early. Then we started to see staff members pick up their own food from the expo window. At this point the tacos we ordered had been sitting in the window for a good 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile the bartender continued to breakdown the bar and the staff continued to close up the kitchen while we watched two more staff members walk out the kitchen with THEIR orders. We finally asked the bartender about our food since it had been almost 25 minutes since we ordered. He never actually checked on it but said it was coming up. So I told him I could see at least half our order sitting on the expo window for a long time. He said 'yeah we're just waiting on the quesadilla'. Which should take mere minutes to make. After seeing another staff member with their food we asked for it to go because we were sick of waiting around and told the bartender we felt unwelcome since we got there due to their closing up all around us. So he went back and told the kitchen 'to go' which I could see in the reflection of the window was funny to them. So we waited a few more minutes and the to go still wasn't ready. So someone who appeared to be the manager of staff came out and said in a very snarky tone 'how can I be of service to you?' While making not even making eye contact. We said there was nothing to do now we wanted to get our food and leave. And this guy laughed in our face and turned away and walked back into the kitchen. At this point it was clear no one was interested in decent customer service...one of the kitchen staff came out and threw his arms around two of his friends sitting st the bar. We asked the bartender to cancel our order and we just wanted to leave. No apologies..nothing except as we left the kitchen staff guy at the bar sarcastically said 'yall have good night.' If you're kitchen stays open until 10pm then you shouldn't be cleaning and scrubbing around your customers nor should the manager be saying out loud 'maybe we can get out of here on time, I hope!' Which was going on while we waited for our order. The rudest and most disrespectful service ever. As much as we love Taco Boy, never again! I hope the main general manager sees this. I'd be happy to talk further.. It was that bad.

Taco Boy is a great Mexican food spot near downtown with an awesome outdoor patio and friendly service. I ordered the nachos and a 3 taco platter with rice and beans. The ingredients are super fresh and tasty, and they have awesome vegetarian choices like jackfruit carnitas and vegan chorizo. Many gluten free options as well including corn tortillas as a choice for any of the tacos. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

Multi level indoor/outdoor restaurant with multiple bars. I forgot to take pics of the food SMH. By the time it got to the table I had to ask for to go boxes so that I could leave and go to work. I did try the "famous" queso and chips fresh which tasted like melted Kraft singles American cheese which was a turnoff for me, but my friend liked it. My friend had a chicken quesadilla which she really enjoyed. I had a birria taco and beef with kimchi which both were too salty for me. The fried chicken taco and street corn were ok. I have to go back when I have more time to sit and eat while it's still fresh.

I have been to the Folly Beach Taco Boy many times but this was my first visit to the Huger St location. The outside area is very kid friendly. We enjoyed the fake grass area with cornhole. The food is just as good as the one on Folly Beach. Easy to park at, I would definitely come back with the kids.

This location was in a super cool spot hidden away by the freeway. I was with friends who have 5 kids so it ended up being a perfect spot for us to sit outside and they had an awesome play area to keep them entertained in a close distance. My enchiladas were tasty and the street corn was packed with flavor, super delicious. Reasonable pricing for drinks compared to other places in Charleston. Definitely would recommend to sit outside and if you have kids. Service was attentive and very friendly.

Mexican food is a love language and @tacoboyeats was no different. We stopped in here after spending some time on the beach in Charleston and it was delicious. Would you just look at that corn and the loaded nachos

Excellent service and great food. The rice bowls are my new favorite. Love spending time on their dog friendly patio with my pooches!

I have always enjoyed Taco Boy but the food tonight was not as good as usual. My quesabirria was quite greasy and the meat didn't have any flavor. However the guacamole, was pretty good. Our server was very sweet!

I came here with someone and it was a nice spot with good service, great food, and a fun ambience. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. The food was really good as well. Would recommend and go again.

We ate here on the first day of my first trip to Charleston and it was alright. We came with another family and we all got a range of things. I ordered the taco plate with one shrimp tempura taco and one firecracker shrimp taco. The firecracker was amazing. Cooked just right and the flavors were poppin'. The other taco was bland and the remoulade had no flavor. It tasted basically like mayonnaise, which I do not like. The beans and rice were good. The table started with guacamole and salsa and both tasted totally fresh. There was no question that they had just made it. And the chips were warm and crisp. I ordered a tequila, soda, lime and it was fine, but it's a no frills drink so there's nothing to report there. All the kids ordered pink lemonades and they complained of the sweetness. You heard me right, the KIDS, complained about how sweet it was. Naturally I had to taste it and, OH, was it sweet!! My kids did add a bit of water to them to offset it. I did not try the quesadillas but my daughter complained about the over-the-top amount of cheese it contained, so if ordering, you need to know that. But I know that is not a deal breaker for some. My son had the grilled fish taco plate, which I did try, and we both were not a fan. The fish was completely dry, overcooked and had no flavor, which my husband also said of his Birria taco. And the nachos (which my other daughter ordered) had hardly any carne asada (which you pay $7 to add), and was mostly loaded with lettuce under the initial toppings. It was more like a taco salad if anything. You may be wondering why I gave them a three. Well, some of the food was flavorful, fresh and tasted great, but then there was the other half that wasn't great. The restaurant is really cool looking on the inside and it has indoor seating as well and a large outdoor area so in that regard, they can accommodate a lot of people. Yet the bigness of the restaurant could explain why some things took a while to get to us (like our drinks). Because Charleston has SOOOO many restaurants, I likely won't be back. Still, if you're near by and you try it you may have a differing experience.

First of all... have to shout out to our server Nate! He graciously took on a table of 4 that turned into 17! We never felt as if we ran out of anything which a talent on loan from God! Our apps came out fast and when we were almost out of chips ... Nate appears with more down the table! Also for such a large group all of our food literally came out boom boom boom down the line. Come on Taco Boy! Teach a class to others on how it's done, seriously. My friend; believe it or not, isn't a big Mexican food eater and always orders nachos. So for the win - Chilaquiles. And ya know what? I got the same dish because why not have breakfast nachos for brunch! Now this isn't the Chilaquiles, this was enough for 2 maybe 3 people!!! Good to know for next time. Also would be a great brunch app! Go check out Nate in the weekends, he's the Goat

Took my family here while on vacation at the beach. Had to send back an appetizer because of a hair in the food. It was promptly replaced to their credit. After ordering our food we endured quite a long wait before receiving our meals. I had to go and ask the host if they lost our order. The food seemed like it was sitting out for a while and not hot but flavor and presentation were fine. I would try someplace else before coming here.

Nice place to meet up with friends. Plates coming out are huge! Great food and service. It's a lively place where food are having fun. I don't drink but others were loving the drinks.

We came here on 4th of July and immediately loved the vibes. Even though I didn't have a margarita, the did have a good deal for them and not a bad size here. Our worse complaint and why I won't come back is that chips and salsa do not come with your dining experience. You have to purchase them... for $10!!! Ridiculous. But, for $13 you can get the trio of queso, guacamole, and salsa appetizer. We ended up doing that because it made so much more sense, a much better deal, and you got 3 different options. The chips and salsa would not be worth purchasing for $10, salsa was good but not that good for the price. I ordered the taquitos appetizer and it was so good, the sauces that were put on top of it were delicious. Service was good, happy and attentive.

The tacos here are so mouth watering good. The wait was so long I don't want to begin to speak about it. The way the food taste made me not worry about the long wait maybe they took there time and prepared it right so I wouldn't complain. The place has a indoor and outdoor bar. Lots of people and music to enjoy. I will be back. Oan I tried about 5 or 6 different tacos and ate there nachos it was all good.

Taco Boy has an ambiance all its own. Hidden away deep on Huger Street, this stand alone urban Mexican restaurant is made for good friends, good margaritas and good tacos. With a large indoor and outdoor space, plenty of bar room and a private parking lot, this joint is perfect for a larger group. We recommend the blood Orange Margarita, Taco Boy salad and Chicken Tortilla Soup.

My visit to Taco Boy in Charleston was absolutely delightful! Starting with the fried peas appetizer, I was already impressed. The real star, though, was the Grilled Chicken main course. It was a mouthwatering masterpiece with tender grilled chicken, Monterey Jack cheese, and the perfect blend of salsa cruda, sour cream, and guacamole, all wrapped in two delicious flour tortillas. Carlos M. provided impeccable service, making the experience even more enjoyable. His attention to detail and friendly demeanor truly stood out. The ambience at Taco Boy was equally fantastic, with a vibrant and inviting atmosphere that added to the overall charm of the restaurant. I can't wait to come back for more of their fantastic food and top-notch service!

food was bad, honestly the worst margarita i've ever had it was sour and tasted like it had carbonation in it. no one in my party ate there food

Service and atmosphere great. They took best tacos off menu avocado, Korean bbq. Salsas were mediocre at best. Not worth the money based on size of tacos. Been coming here for years but gonna try something new out next time in Charleston

Taco Boy serves up a vibrant dining experience with a flair for festive Mexican cuisine. The menu, featuring a variety of tacos and inventive appetizers, generally impresses with its fresh ingredients and bold flavors. Particularly noteworthy are their creative taco fillings, which are a hit among patrons. The ambiance, lively and decorated with a colorful aesthetic, complements the food perfectly, creating a fun atmosphere. Service is friendly and efficient, adding to the positive experience. However, there's room for improvement in consistency across the menu to reach perfection.

When in Charleston I am insistent about visiting Taco Boy. It took me a few times to get a better understanding of is going on behind those doors, but now after my third time, I'm a Taco Fanboy. This restaurant is similar to White Duck in that it offers tacos-almost exclusively-in a variety of fusion options. But that's where the similarities end. You can see more in a space like this that a lot of effort went into capturing the magic of a Mexican eatery. It feels like a church to tacos. (Open on Sundays, fwiw) Staff has always been knowledgeable (or willing to learn shoutout to Sarah!) and I even learned that occasionally employees take trips to Mexico to help capture even more atmosphere and new food ideas. I can't say every menu item I've had will be there by the time you read this, but that's part of Taco Boy's charm. He's just having fun.

Best salad I have had in a LONG time! Had the Caesar with grilled chicken and substituted ranch dressing. Sorry was hungry so no pic. But I did try one of these NA beers - also pretty dang good. Service was great, food came out super fast and lovely atmosphere. Getcha some Taco Boy in Charleston!

Took them 2 hours to bring us our food, not exaggerating. Then our food was sub par. Fortunately we had enough margaritas. Hard to get alcohol wrong.

I'll graciously give them a 3 because I love the Folly Beach location and refuse to believe this one is going down hill due to poor mannered bartenders/staff. Food felt like they microwave it which oddly seems like a compliment to what I was served.

We used to frequent both taco boys when they first opened years ago. It had been a while and we tried it again tonight. Will likely never return. The service was comically slow, the guacamole was salty as hell, tacos were gross and the manager seemed apathetic to other customers complaining about the service. That being said, our waiter was a Prince of a man. Very kind and apologetic. It was not his fault that management is completely crashing this place into a brick wall. In summary Taco Boy is gross, overpriced tacos, in the hood which take hours to be served. Pass!

this place was AMAZING! I don't have enough great things to say about the service. They truly love their customers. 11/10 recommend. SHOUT OUT SPENCER WE LOVE YOU!!!!!! best man ever!!!!!!

What a great place for basic Mexican fare! I love the quirky interior with its festive Mexican artifacts, lighting and mix of dining areas --including a large bar area with tables and booths along the walls. There are enormous outside areas available as well where one can sit, sip and dine - of course the outdoor area is pet friendly - Please note Taco Boy is concealed behind an enormous hedge with the letters TACO BOY above it--so as you approach on Huger Street don't miss the enormous parking lot right next door to the restaurant. Plenty of parking! Taco Boy is the place to go for great "uptown and out of the way" great Mexican fare and where the preparation and fresh ingredients are present in everything that we ordered. The service was friendly, attentive and efficient ...and staff aims to please. A great place to celebrate with groups, kid friendly and pet friendly--- what more can be said? Will return as Taco Boy has now become my "go to" Mexican place with no hassle parking and dining availability!

Good food and the service was great, and the atmosphere was pretty good. We spilt the queso and the server got us another one charge free.

We sat outside and it's spring so the ambiance was awesome. The service was fantastic. The margarita selection is on point. The (very) low point is the food. The tacos al pastor only had a few pieces of meat that were mostly tough. We had the chips and dip trio. The chips started okay but the chips in the bottom of the basket were either very stale or very stale and exceptionally greasy. The cheese dip was super thin (watery) and either needed a lot more flour or needed to cook longer. I would go back to hang with friends but no one is minding the food coming out of the kitchen. Won't eat there again.

Come for the vibes, stay for the nachos. I went with a group of 4 on a Thursday night, there was about an hour wait but they've got a good texting system in place. We left and went to the rooftop bar next door for a drink until a table was available. We ordered a mix of spicy margs and skinny margs. No one was overly impressed with any of them. My friend and I had the skinny margs (2 each) and when we were leaving we both commented how badly our stomachs hurt. Not sure what it was in those ones, but I wouldn't get them again. We ordered nachos + chicken for the table, and I wish I would've just re-ordered this for my main meal too. They were SO GOOD. Nachos are my favorite food and trust me when I say these are worth getting! They're generous with all the toppings, the chips are perfectly crispy, and the chicken we added had great flavor. 10/10 would do again. Everyone's main dishes (shrimp quesadilla, chicken fajitas, and a mix of tacos) were pretty unremarkable. They were good, but nothing to write home about. I think the worst dish was the chicken fajitas - the chicken tasted overly sweet (?) and the tortillas weren't fresh. I'd come back again, but just for nachos and drinks. The restaurant is gorgeous and it's a fun place to hang out by the beach.

The service was mid and the birria tacos had very little meat in them and the cheese was burned. Then they gave me a baby little tiny dipping bowl. That's not how you serve birria...This was the worst birria tacos I have ever had. I do not recommend. Also there was a bird loose in the restaurant and it landed on cups that the servers saw and did not bother changing. So that was nasty.

We ordered tacos without the salsa on top, the waiter read the order back correctly and our food came Out with salsa on top. No worries, but the manager came over and made us feel bad for ordering something without salsa. Then they brought the corrected order out and it was completely stripped away. So, incorrect order for the second time. In addition to that, they forgot our kids cheese quesadilla meal adding another 10 minutes of wait time. The food experience would have been better, but the manager ruined it.

Taco Boy in Charleston is a good, quick place to take the kids for a lunch or a place for a fun group dinner. They have a nice outdoor, spacious patio. The service is always quick and helpful. There is plenty of parking and there is typically never a wait for lunch. The menu is diverse and they are always willing to accommodate any dietary restrictions. The queso cheese is fantastic and the fajitas. The tacos aren't my favorite in town but they do have several options. A great causal Mexican place for lunch or dinner both.

I've been multiple times over the past few years and it has always been a great experience! They don't take reservations so if you have a big group make sure to plan ahead, but once you are seated you get your food really quick! I love their vegetarian options, and that they put thought into creating a delicious and purposeful vegetarian menu, unlike some places that will just throw beans and cheese on a tortilla and call it a day. My favorite is the avocado tempura tacos! Be sure to try to pineapple margarita (it cannot be beat!)

The meal we received lacked all the toppings and sides, leaving us with just meat and a taco shell. When we requested a fix, the staff responded rudely and defensively. It took two attempts before our order was partially correct. One staff member even stated she couldn't handle our request. After an hour, our food remained incorrect and had gone cold. No refund or compensation was offered. This entire experience left us deeply disappointed, and we won't be returning.

Visited this location with co- workers/friends After work and had a really good time. The atmosphere casual, the customer service attentive and the menu offered an assortment of tacos, quesadillas, nachos, chips and dips. I ordered the shrimp quesadilla. It was a decent size portion wise. It had a nice amount of shrimp in it but the flavor was just average for me. I also ordered the guacamole with chips and the guacamole was very fresh and a perfect thick creamy consistency. The chips tasted freshly made. The prices on some of the menu items seemed over priced considering the portion size (certain tacos) I would recommend this place for drinks and appetizers primarily.

We hit Taco Boy for a late dinner during our trip to Charleston for my bachelorette party. It was a hit for our whole group! We were intrigued by Taco Boy for it's numerous vegetarian- and vegan-friendly recipes, so we knew it had to be a must-do during our trip as we are all either full time or part time vegetarians. We found our way here late on a Friday night, and even though it was 8:30PM, there was still a good bit of a wait. Luckily, the hostess took our name and instructed us to pass the time at the bar or the outside patio, which was the perfect solution. The space at Taco Boy is quite expansive - the indoor seating is generous, and they also have a large bar and extensive outdoor space, perfect for the warm weather in the city. The outdoor decor in front of the restaurant is also quite picturesque (we snagged a few pics outside!) and makes for a welcoming entrance. The vibe in all parts of the restaurant is eclectic - lots of string lights, unique lamps / chandeliers, frames / wall hangings - which makes it even more fun and unique. While we waited, we snagged some drinks at the bar - I opted for the pineapple-infused marg, which was fantastic! It included not only pineapple but also unique pairings of cinnamon and vanilla - a very refreshing and tasty drink! My friends all enjoyed their margs as well (pineapple marg, spicy marg, blood orange marg), and we loved the presentation! After getting our margs and exploring a bit, it seemed like in no time, our table was ready. The hostess and our server were both really kind, sharing their favorite dishes with us to make our selections easier. The menu is quite expansive, but I focused on the single tacos. We all loved that we could get any of the tacos with tofu instead of meat, so we took advantage of that. I opted for the buttermilk fried chicken taco with tofu instead and the kimchi beef taco with regular beef. Both were so good! I loved the fusion flavors of the kimchi - it definitely had a kick but the cilantro and the taco shell helped mellow it out. The fried chicken taco was incredibly unique, and I'm glad I got it with the tofu - the texture was right on, and I loved the accompanying cabbage / carrot salad on top. Well done! My friends all loved theirs as well with high remarks. I'm a sucker for Mexican street corn, so I paired my tacos with that as well. The cheese and spices were top notch, and while street corn is typically pretty messy, I found this one bearable. IT was the perfect side to the meal and left me feeling comfortably full. Overall, we loved our visit to Taco Boy and the food was some of the best and most unique tacos I've had in some time! Their menu is so extensive and versatile that anyone can find something they're interested in. Their margs have a bit of a twist with fun pairings, and they are on point. I would highly recommend Taco Boy to anyone looking for a crowd pleaser with good food and a fun location - I would totally visit again during another visit to CHS!

Visiting Charleston? You have to go here! Good food, tequila and service. Parking can get tight on occasion.

We are vegetarians and LOVED the previous Taco Boy menu. The new one doesn't have tofu as a protein choice or fried avocado taco with sweet chili sauce. The delicious Mexican street corn isn't on the menu now but the server said we could still order it. Why remove it then?? Please add the favorites back so we can enjoy Taco Boy again!! Thank you.

Went with a group of friends and it was so good! Highly recommend the spicy margarita and tempura avocado taco.

Once a staple of my visit to Charleston has now been relegated. The place appears the same, but being a foodie on a limited scale, it's time has passed. Fail #1... no Mexican Street Corn! A 5 star item retired from the menu. #2 appetizer trio was also moved to the "secret menu'. Fail #3 the shrimp tacos were like jerky. For a restaurant that used to be a must see, now has been moved to "it used to be great!'

The food is pretty good nothing special. The service is a little slow and you can't make reservations. If it's super crowded don't go and if you do don't plan to get out of there fast. The ambiance was outstanding, they had an outdoor bar tone of decorations and beautiful scenery.

I have been to this location numerous times over the years but today, we had the best service ever. Trey, our server, was phenomenal. He had a great personality, always checked in on us, let us know when our food was headed out from the kitchen, etc. It has been awhile since my last visit and I was happy to see the appetizer trio comes in bigger cups now. They also brought out a ton of chips. I ordered the fried fish tacos. They have just the right amount of kick to them and they did not hold back on all the toppings. My husband got the quesadillas, which are his favorite. My daughter got a bbq chicken taco and the fried fish taco. My son got a half order of nachos with a giant scoop of guac on top. Everyone enjoyed their food and everything came out hot.

Tried both fish tacos and they were amazing, the vegetables were super fresh and the meat was cooked to perfection. I personally loved the historic building and atmosphere. The chips, quac and salsa were amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone that loves tacos.

We visited Taco Boy for an early dinner. It is a casual Mexican restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating available. We chose to sit outside for this visit and sat at a long picnic table with benches. We sat inside the prevIous time. Both areas were comfortable. Service was friendly and good. We were allowed to relax and take our time. Before dinner, we ordered margaritas - frozen and on the rocks. Both were really good. We also had queso and chips which were good. For dinner, we ordered tacos, a quesadilla, a taco salad, and Mexican street corn. The tacos are Mexican style. I had a Kimchi Beef Korean taco and a Carne Asada taco. Both were very good. The Mexican street corn was the star of the meal. It was evenly covered with chili lime mayo and cotija cheese and had great flavor. Overall, we had a really good experience and enjoyed the food at Taco Boy. We will be going back. I give Taco Boy a 9/10 for a casual Mexican restaurant.

I go here all the time!! I always know what to expect and always leave satisfied. It is consistently the same but they just updated their menu a bit! Love the new branding!! Food is always ok. But it has a fun environment and my dad loves the chicken tortilla soup! I always get 2 tacos and they are okay -- tortillas need to be cooked cus they just give you a dried plain one that they have to double wrap cus they fall apart. Fried avocado is usually pretty good but a few times it has been wayy to spicy. You can tell they work hard here and it has the most potential of any Resturant I've seen in charleston so that's why 5 stars! Hope they keep shooting for excellence!

Revisited this establishment after the successful first visit. We chose the outdoor seating again and it did not disappoint. We had the taquitos to start with, they were crunchy and flavorful. I got three tacos, each one was unique and delicious. The surprise of the three was the tempura avacado. Will definitely be coming back when in town.

Great spot with plenty of seating inside and out. Cute décor. Service is great as well. Stopped in here with the family on a rainy Friday night so we sat inside. Hannah our server was great and our drink order and appetizer of the sauce trio came out very quick. I enjoyed the spicy margarita and ordered a taco trio. I got the chicken tinga, shrimp taco, and the grilled fish taco. It came with Spanish rice and black beans. I opted for the corn tortillas, but should have gotten the flour as the corn tortillas were really dry and tasteless. The shrimp taco was my favorite and they have many other taco options I would like to try in the future. Tacos are a good size, not too small or too big. The dessert was amazing, we ordered a tres leches and churros to share with the table. Both were delicious! They have a full bar, vegan options for tacos as well and great ambiance. I will definitely be back on my next visit to Charleston.
