Let's start with why I didn't give 5 stars. The food has gone downhill. I got steak quesadillas, they tasted like roast beef quesadillas. The chorizo and queso sucked. But the bartenders are Pro's with great personalities. You will get amazing service, and drinks that are blended perfectly. Great wait staff that really care about the customer. Dump the kitchen staff and get some new blood in there. I will go back anytime for drinks, but food is out of the equation. The MT. Pleasant location has a better quality of food.

Great location and atmosphere but the food is unremarkable. Saw a commercial size bag of Tostitos in the trash after we ordered the nacho trio sampler and was disappointed. The steak tacos plate with rice and black beans were equally disappointing but the frozen Margaritas saved this from a 2 star review. Lots of dining options on King Street so we will be eating elsewhere.

Portion sizes are very large here! My husband got a Nachos Royale (in the back of the picture) and I got regular nachos (in the front of the picture). A couple of things to be aware of: at night the parking is horrendous and you will most likely have to pay to park and also walk a few blocks unless you find street parking. They are a bar and don't have a ton of seating, so you may have to wait a bit to get an actual table. Food was very good!

Service was absolutely terrible, waiter took over an hour to take our food order. Made us wait outside in the cold for 45 minutes as well, and seemed to forget we were there when they started seating other parties in front of us that did NOT have any reservations. Also, rice was completely uncooked. Several members of our party didn’t finish their food because of this.

Not super busy, strong drinks, plenty of food. The nachos are huge and delicious. Prices are reasonable. Service was good. Atmosphere was just okay. Cool place but not a lot of people. If you want a good meal without waiting and big crowds, this is the place. Convenient location. Highly recommended.

The BEST chicken taco I have ever had. The chicken was tender and well flavored. It was also reasonably priced. It had lettuce, salsa, and cheese on it beyond the chicken.Unfortunately the nachos are made with tostitos chips from a bag which caught me off guard. The components on the nachos were great though!The service was slow though which was unfortunate. For 2 people, we waited 40 minutes for our food after ordering.

We went for a late-night bite. We had the chicken nachos and they were fine. The late night menu was seriously limited.

This place is fantastic! Will definitely return when back in Charleston!

Happy hour blended margarita $6. Great, affordable food with large portions. Friendly servers.

The food is fine but the friendly service and reasonable prices (for this part of town) add a fourth star. Fairly spacious garden in back offers room for outdoor dining. Good option for dinner if you don't have a reservation and other places are full
