Reviews for El Pincho Taco in Charleston, SC
This is an awesome spot for authentic Mexican food in Charleston. Have a Michelada before you figure out your order, and I... recommend trying a few tacos. My fave is the cochinita pibil, and as a meat eater it's hard to admit my second fave is thenopales (cactus)!! The birria is fantastic. Do the al pastor. Maybe the campechano. And there's so much more. This is theclosest CHS gets to Mexico. Read more

I recently ate at El Pincho Taco, and MY GOD, THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. I'm a native Texan and take my Mexican food seriously, and... this is one of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever visited. The food is absolutely incredible, and the drinks... well,look at the pictures and you can see how a guy in our group felt the margarita flight he ordered (that smile rivals a child'ssmile on Christmas morning). Seriously: El Pincho Taco is now an absolute must-visit restaurant every time I go to Charleston,SC. I'm salivating just thinking about it. Read more
SERIOUSLY! LOVE THIS PLACE. One real Mexican American's POV. Genuinely you can't find a more authentic Mexican food spot like... this anywhere else in Charleston, SC. Everything is really great portions and you truly get what you pay for and it's worthevery dime. Definitely have to try the Tortas, the Flautas or the Birria Tacos! The Birria Tacos are seriously the best I've hadanywhere honestly Don't be fooled by these negative comments, my girlfriend and I are Mexican-American and we just moved fromEl Centro, CA (literally right near the boarder so trust me when I say we grew up eating real Mexican food all our lives) and wewere so happy to find an amazing spot like this on the East Coast, we were really surprised. It is the REAL DEAL. and HonestlyI'm reading through these negative comments and most of these people don't even know what real Mexican food tastes like. Seemslike there only experience is Taco Bell or Chipotle. *cough* salty pincho bowl reviewer *cough* No offense to La Ha or LosPoblanos, but any real Mexican will tell you thats a far cry from REAL MEXICAN food you'd get from a cenaduria in Mexico. ElPincho Taco easily earns my 5 stars. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Do yourself a flavor and try it for yourself! Read more
The red árbol chile was good,cabeza tacos meat was delicious, the place is very traditional,the food looks good, only a couple... things: those corn tortillas were a little hard, I expected a good green sauce but it wasn?t, and one last thing you must checkyour bill and make sure there?s nothing ?extra?.

Ordered from here on Uber Eats and have never felt more ripped off. These tacos are $5 apiece and they're nearly empty. Paid $90... and got almost no food. They charged $10 for 3 ounces of spicy queso. And the food wasn't even good. The meat had fat andcartilage in it. Read more
This is the most authentic Mexican cousin and atmosphere you?ll ever experience. The various specialty dishes and tacos here... are unparalleled in the area. PJ, the owner, has derived all his recipes from his home country, snd in his travels betweenColombia and the United States. The staff is so friendly and accommodating you will feel like they are helping you move in. Ifyou get the luxury of meeting him and seeing how hard he works on the front lines to bring you the best authentic experienceyou?ve ever had in Charleston. Just go to EL PINCHO it?s kinda like Chick-fil-A, except it?s The Lords Mexican! Read more
Authentic mexican dinning. Food was good. Enjoyed three soft shell tacos with rice and black beans. It was all cooked perfectly... to taste with rich flavors. Take the side trip and enjoy their offerings!! Read more
