REALLY liked Minero. After chatting with a couple at the bar, they said it used to be Fat Hen. (I knew there was something familiar about the place when I pulled in.) Fat Hen is missed and was an excellent restaurant from several years back, closed when the owner’s retired.

Minero owner’s have expanded the footprint of the original building. You’ll find a main dining room, double-sided bar that accommodates the main dining room and the closed in, porch-style dining area, which is where I parked myself. TV with sports on are in the porch area. There is also a vast outside dining area. It is perfect for Charleston’s fall weather, but looks well shaded for summertime. Freshly made scratch margaritas await you AND they have a Tequila List — gotta love that — yall know me, I know I do.

I started with a shot of Don Julio Blanco and a Corona Light. My appetizer was this terrific Salsa Tasting w/ chips. I kept it pretty simple and got Steak Tacos w/ refried beans and could not resist a lovely chorizo dip. As usual, I started eating before taking a photo, but my entre’ does show one taco and the refried beans.

Whether you are visiting or a resident, put Minero on your list of restaurants at which to dine….and dine often!

Love the patio! Always great service and food. Tried the limited time chipotle lime wings- sooo good! We usually get fajitas and tacos, but tried the burger and salad this time and great all around.

Absolutely LOVE this place. A wonderful refreshing break from the standard fare you can find at most other Mexican places.

Shout out to Emma, Hannah and Connor at the bar for always being so friendly and attentive, although all of the staff provides stellar service. The managers are always around checking that things are running smoothly.

The food is always a 10/10 for me, have yet to have a bad experience. Can’t beat the burritos! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable about all their dishes, and are able to make suggestions for dietary/allergy issues.

And the large spacious back patio is a great atmosphere for any season!

If you’re looking for a different but special experience, don’t skip out on this one!

Minero’s Mexican Grill – John’s Island, SC

Absolutely love this spot! Minero’s on James Island serves up some of the most authentic and flavorful Mexican food around. The queso is a must—creamy, rich, and downright addictive. I’m obsessed with the street corn, and the shrimp dish with the corn cakes is next-level delicious. My husband can’t stop raving about the birria burrito—he says it’s the best he’s ever had!

The vibe is casual and fun, perfect for a night out or a quick bite. If you’re looking for bold flavors, great service, and that true Mexican comfort food feel—Minero’s is a win!

I would give Minero a 4.5 if it was possible, dog friendly garden area, server was great.

Tacos were great… For the most part I got 3 and my wife got 3, the only one that was not great was the crunchy taco, the meat was really salty. The catfish taco was awesome and so were the churros and dulce dipping sauce.

Drinks were great.

Great atmosphere and plenty of open air seating options. The food was excellent! I had the Minero cheeseburger, which is a combination of beef and chorizo that had a lot of flavor and was delicious. We also had the fried chimichanga, shrimp tacos, and kids chicken quesadilla, all of which I’m told was tasty. Service could have been better. Younger server, who forgot to put in drink orders and then later forgot to bring a side. The manager brought that out and apologized. Server never offered refills on purchased drinks and only asked if we wanted refills on water as we paid the check. Overall, a good experience and as we are local, will likely return.

Excellent in my total experience. There’s plenty of parking in the back, but use care finding it, best to use navigation so you don’t drive past it. I had the wheat flour tortillas which were excellent, very subtle mixes of tastes. Service was fast and friendly. You can bring your dog and sit at the picnic tables outside. I will be back in fact this was my second visit.

Beautiful establishment, but very disappointing experience.
We spent over $80 on food and drinks for two, and unfortunately, everything tasted dry, as if it had been microwaved. The guacamole was delicious, but sadly, it was the only thing that felt fresh on our plates.

Beer draft glass was wayyyyy smaller than a pint glass.
Our server started off friendly but later made a sarcastic comment about my boyfriend not liking sour cream, which we overheard her loudly share at the bar with another customer or coworker. After that, the rest of the evening felt uncomfortable, as several teenage staff members kept laughing and looking over at our table.

I genuinely hope the owner takes a closer look at the Wednesday night staff, as this behavior does not reflect well on such a beautiful restaurant.
Price point DOES NOT match the service and food quality.
Needless to sat, we won’t be returning.

Update 4/23- So. crazy. Good. Had the ceviche and it was amazing. Couldn’t get away from the burrito bowl so had it again and it may have been better than my first. I couldnt stop eating it! The flavors they have put together here are just amazing!

First review: Fantastic!! Highly recommend anything here. The nachos were so good and the burrito bowl was likely the best I’ve had.
