Reviews for Mex 1 Coastal Cantina in Charleston, SC
One of my favorite Tex Mex spots. Food is always on point and a pretty good cocktail menu
This is a great place to relax over delicious Margaritas! The bartender will mix whatever you’re looking for evin if not on... the menu. I had a pineapple margarita and it was delicious. Food is also good. Can’t wait to go back! Read more
Liked: Salsa had great flavor and was way better than a lot of free salsas I've had. The chips where very fresh and salted just... right. The street corn queso was packed with flavor and corn, definitely worth checking out. I had banging shrimp, carnitas,and cantina chicken tacos. I enjoyed them all. Disliked: Tables packed into dining room offered little space to maneuver for usand the staff who were constantly having to squeeze through. My date took one bit of her banging shrimp and said she didn't likeit. It looked slightly different than mine. I tasted it and it wasn't as yummy as mine. She said all her tacos were cold, 2 ofmine definitely were. I think the food cold was a product of slow service - maybe they were shirt staffed or maybe our serverwas oversat. Conclusion: Food was good and I would eat there again. Read more

K’Anna our server was a GEM and had some great suggestions. The Bangin’ shrimp tacos are what they are known for, however,... the Baja fish taco was the BOMB!!! Great drinks and the chips were crispy and yummy. Go for the Jalapeño Queso with the chips!Aly says the Quesadillas were cooked to perfection and super fresh! Speaking of HEAT, head on over to the HOT sauce bar and getyour spice ON!! A fantastic experience and super fresh food! Don’t forget to grab a vintage cap and T on the way out... supercool gear! Update round 2: Server Emma was super cool and friendly, knows her menu! Went back and had the Baja Fish Taco withMahi... Amazing Banging shrimp bowl was outstanding. Banging shrimp quesadilla also outstanding Can’t say enough about thisplace!! Great food great staff! Read more

Omg their food was amazing! And who would've thought it with the looks from outside. The parking lot was slammed, the atmosphere... was great and our waitress was excellent. Loved the outdoor seating and each dish we got. Read more
The queso and salsa were good. The chips reminded me of Chilis chips which are the best. My husband said the fish tacos were... pretty good. The carnitas was tender and good. It had a different flavor than what I’m uSed to with carnitas but I enjoyed it.The beef taco was not good. I took one bite and couldn’t finish the rest. Read more
