“Excellent authentic Mexican food and drinks! We ordered lunch at the counter, and the food was brought to us on the outdoor patio of Le Farfalle - beautiful setting on a nice day. Jonathan was very helpful in explaining the food & drink options. The quesabirria was as yummy as he said it would be! Highly recommend!!“

“Absolutely perfect. The food was amazing with perfect display too, ate outside and the waiters would always check on you. Ours was sweet and kind. He saw my cup was cracked at the bottom and got me a new glass! 10/10 food, 10/10 service and atmosphere was perfect Mexican style. So worth the drive from Summerville.“

“I’m a Texas gal living here in Charleston and I’m particular about my Tacos! Had some friends stay at an Airbnb across the street and it was convenient so I finally went. I’ve now been twice in less than a week. Everything is so fresh. Well flavored. Delicious. Cocktails are lovely. Staff was helpful and attentive both times. Casual, fun, and yummy for my tummy! Go!“

“Small family owned Mexican restaurant. Limited seats available. The chips and salsa was good.. I ordered the fries with beef and cheese. It was ok. Wasn't enough seasoning. It tasted bland. Then I got there famous fajita with chicken add extra cheese. That was ok as well. Just wish it had more flavor. But overall it was just ok .“
“Delicious tacos. I am waiting to try one of their tamales.“

“We visited tonight and absolutely loved it. The decor is spectacular. Servers really hustle and the food was excellent. Best enchiladas in mole I've ever had. Only 2 recommendations... deeper salsa dishes, and some sound absorbers needed on the ceiling. Was a bit loud, and would be difficult to have a conversation with another couple. A very welcome addition to the neighborhood. See you soon Catrina's!“

“This is the absolute BEST in CHARLESTON! 🌺 🌊 Me and my family love this place! Great service, food, and environment! It was so great there, I thought the check was going to come back so EXPENSIVE!! But NO, the payment was so quick and small! (No extra fees either) My small family of 3 ate HUGE meals for $30! And it was so good! We HAD TO tip them $40 for all of the good work they did 👏! I was so impressed by their food and service, that I HAD to visit Charleston AGAIN Becuase I loved their food 🍱! RECOMMEND 💯! 1000/10“

“It was delicious and had no problem with the food. Service was a little pushy to order and get us out the door and it did take a while for the food to come out but most likely cause they were busy. Otherwise it’s a decent place either way a good price.“

“Fun Tex-Mex restaurant. Food was good - We had chicken soup and guacamole, both great. Fun atmosphere decorations. Usual bar with TVs showing sports. But I'm partial to the USS Enterprise, BB8, and Ada Lovelace on display. And a mural with Santos (Samson) from Mystery Science Theater.“

“I first went to the Summerville location to celebrate my birthday the beginning of October and had the most wonderful service , atmosphere and food!! I again just yesterday, 10/16/26, went to the West Ashley location and had the same great experience all around!!! Normal to spend per person is approximately $15-$20. I spent more due to adult beverages.“

“I came with my Co-workers we got several different things, first off the vibes is HIGH! Food was outstanding everything was prepared greatly. The flavor, aroma and looks were everything and more. The only negative was that my Co-worker said his dish was proportioned wrong and for me my favorite taco (Al pastor) was ok very well made but the flavor was missing sadly. Other than that honestly the best Mexican restaurant I've been too and I love Mexican! My black video is of the music so you can get that the mood was LIT!“
