Arrived around 5:45 and were sat quickly. Hubby had a delicious piña colada on the rocks, and I had a Michelada with Tecate. Delicious.
Birria Ramen was not our fave. The torta was savory and hearty. Yucateca was also savory; the tortillas were lovely. I didn’t take a picture of the chicken tamale, but it was probably my favorite item. Guacamole is GREAT and addictive. Don’t miss out on the Mexican rice and charro beans. Be prepared to be full. We’ll definitely be back. Love the people who work here. They are so gracious and attentive.

We came on Monday for lunch and the place was not that busy.
This El Molino just a restaurant and has bar area and dessert freezer area (ice cream and Mexican popsicle)
The service was prompt and good came out warm and nice.
I had ramen birria and my husband had their taco.
The ramen was okay, I enjoyed taco birria and thought the ramen birria will be great but after I ate it I am not sure birria taco is a good idea. The meat in the ramen was good portion and the noodle was a good consistency (not soggy).
The tacos were good and taco at El Molino is always a good food option!

We wanted to know what all the hype was about for the El Molino taqueria, so we went one afternoon on a weekend for lunch. When we arrived, the hostess let us know that the credit card machine wasn’t working and they could only accept cash, so we had to go home and get cash as we don’t generally carry enough for a meal out.
We ordered a variety of dishes including tacos, a tamale, chips and guacamole, and esquites. The tacos were very greasy and messy to eat with all the grease dripping down our hands and arms. The chicken & pork tamale was dry and lacked a nice flavor or texture. The quacamole was great, but the chips were also a bit greasy and tasted a bit overcooked. Finally, the esquites was like mexican street corn with mayo, cheese, and chili powder served in a cup which was inedible. We took a few bites and left the rest – it was like eating mayonaise out of a jar with a few kernels of corn mixed in, a far cry from a similar dish served at Taco Boy, of all places.
Unfortunately, we came here to experience authentic Mexican cuisine, but the food was so greasy we felt sick after dining. It was also kind of off-putting that we had to go home and get cash in order to pay for the privilege. In addition to all of that, our server couldn’t understand our order, and we had to point out the food and drinks we wanted to her instead of speaking with her.
Overall, I can see the casual appeal of the food, however it may have been better as a grocery store taqueria instead of a sit-down dining experience. It seems like there has been no emphasis on the service provided and the food is fast and greasy, basically the equivalent of ordering from a food truck and sitting on a bench to eat it.

Monse was THE BEST, full stop.
This gem of a human handed me the most gorgeous, fresh, spicy marg—bright, beautiful, and built with actual intention. She’s attentive in a way you feel. Every time I walk in, she makes sure I’m taken care of like I’m one of her own.
She’s pushed me out of my usual lane and into new flavors, new drinks—new everything—and I’ve never once been disappointed. Not even close.
If you want someone who genuinely loves what she does and makes you feel it in every sip and bite, go sit with Monse at the bar. She’s fantastic.
As a local small-business owner, I value this kind of service and care more than anything. As long as she’s here, trust that Harlow will be showing up weekly for meetings just to see our girl.
Thank you, El Molino, for having such an incredible staff. You’ve got a real one in Monse.

If you want Tacos and authentic Mexican, El Molino should be at the top of your list! Anybody who has done some googling for tacos in Charleston has probably come across El Molino Supermarket in West Ashley. This is a brand new extension of that as a restaurant/bar/ice cream parlor. Fair warning – this is not meant to be a fancy spot. Folding party chairs and tables. It’s a Taqueria in the purest sense. But what it is – best street style Tacos in town, bar none. The burrito is too tier as well. Home made chips and sauces. Excited to go back and try some of their other innovative items (Birria Ramen!?).
I could eat a plate of 5-6 of their delicious street style tacos and be just as satisfied as any meal downtown. And probably wash it down with a mess of beer and be out for less than $40.
If you want Mexican in Charleston, must go.

Enjoyed a first visit to this new restaurant! Amazing flavors in all the tacos we ordered. The guacamole was delicious as well. Favorite margarita – Mezcal (purple one pictured here). Others were delicious but didn’t compare to the Mezcal.

It was my first time trying this location. I ordered an order of 3 birria tacos togo. When I got home my tacos were sitting in a pool of grease. They were so soggy and just awful tasting. The consume (dipping sauce) was also flavorless and watery. There are so much better authentic mexican restaurants to go to. Don’t waste your time ordering here.

We passed by this place multiple times and were intrigued why the parking lot was always full.
When we finally visited, it all made sense as soon as we walked in. They have a DJ, the ambiance is amazing and the food smelled great! We tried a bunch of tacos (the steak is the best imho), horchata, chips and queso.
The service is excellent! The bathrooms are clean (there are 2 inside). There is ample parking outside. They also offer a bunch of desserts, which i wish we tried but we were already so full! This place is worth the hype.

This place is an interesting offshoot of El Molino (the grocery store with restaurant). The food tastes largely the same, so if you like the original location, you’ll like this. I thought my BurriBirria was relatively underwhelming, but still tasted good. The chips are really good though, and ours tasted pretty fresh, which is not what I’ve experienced at the original location. I had a margarita too, which was good. Cool atmosphere and quick service – it wasn’t very busy when I was there midday on a weekday.
