Charleston Mexican Food Guide 🌮 | A Taco Tour!

While the South is famous for fried chicken and grits, it also hides some authentic Mexican gems. I tried five Mexican spots in Charleston and Mt. Pleasant — one was so good I went three days in a row! 🌮 White Duck Taco Shop A North Carolina chain with a Mt. Pleasant location! 📍 341 Johnnie Dodds Blvd, Mt Pleasant, SC 29464 I’m usually an explorer, but I ate here three times! Their fusion tacos blend global flavors brilliantly: Creole Shrimp & Grits: Local Southern twist 🍤 Tuna Tokyo: Tuna + ginger + wasabi = sushi-inspired taco! 🍣 Chicken Tikka Masala: Spicy Indian fusion 🌶️ Mole Roasted Duck: Signature duck with dried fruit 🦆 Crispy Pork Belly: Pork + watermelon slices — genius! 🍉 Skip: Grilled Fish (basic for fried fish lovers) 🌮 Maya 📍 479B King St, Charleston, SC 29403 Upscale Mexican with great ambiance — perfect for apps and tacos! Ceviche: Beautiful plating, fresh fish 🐟 Tuna Tostada: Avocado love! (but hard shell) 🥑 Crispy Mahi Mahi: Fried fish + red onion = 🤌 Ground Beef Taco: Hearty and satisfying 🐮 🌮 Moe’s Southwest Grill A chain (Mt. Pleasant location) with Chipotle vibes but homier! Free chips + loud greetings when you enter! 🎉 Salad + White Meat Chicken + Guacamole: Healthy and low-cal 🥗 Pro tip: Swap salad for a bowl or burrito for more fullness! Mexican food in Charleston is flexible — quick bite or full meal! When I feel stuck in a food desert, South American flavors always save the day. 😊 #CharlestonEats #MexicanFood #TacoTour #SouthCarolina #FoodieGuide 🌶️
