" I was not a fan of their food. My friends loved it, but I found my tacos to be bland. I tried the crispy beef and ranchero chicken, and they did not deliver the flavor I expected. The place has a cool vibe, but the food didn't match. I may give it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Walking into Mex 1 felt like stepping into a vibrant fiesta! We ordered the crispy beef and shrimp tacos, which were both delicious, but the shrimp tacos were out of this world. The drinks were refreshing, and the staff was attentive. A wonderful experience that will keep me coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re in Charleston, don’t miss Mex 1! The tacos were delicious and packed with flavor. The highlight for me was the jalapeño aioli – wow! Very friendly staff, and the ambiance was lively, perfect for a casual dinner. Will definitely return for my taco cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere was great with beautiful decor, and the service felt personal. I had the carne asada tacos, which were flavorful, but unfortunately, they were a bit tough. Others in my party raved about their shrimp tacos. I would recommend trying it out, but I'll be experimenting with different options on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Nice place with a casual vibe! The tacos were decent but not as good as I had hoped. The sauces were varied and added some flair to each dish, but the meats were lacking in flavor, especially the chicken. On a positive note, the margaritas were a real treat! Service was prompt and attentive. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to Mex 1, and let me tell you, I was blown away by the flavors! The shrimp tacos were to die for. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and our server was very attentive. I loved the sweet and spicy margarita they served! Highly recommended for anyone craving some authentic Mexican vibes. I'll definitely be back for those tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a disappointing experience here on Taco Tuesday. Although I was excited for the specials, they had no actual deals on tacos, and the prices were high for what we received. The margaritas were decent, but I expected more. Probably won't return unless that changes. " (*Curated Review*)
