" After many visits to Pink Cactus, I can say it's my go-to for authentic Mexican food in Charleston. The owner is often around to ensure everything is going well, and that's a personal touch you don't find in many places. I always order the tacos, which are fresh and full of flavor. The chips and guacamole are incredible accompaniments! However, do expect to wait during the busy hours as they do get quite packed. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful find! The atmosphere at Pink Cactus is so cozy, and the margaritas are a must-try. I had the carne asada tacos, and they were bursting with flavor. The staff was incredibly friendly, making my dining experience even better. Highly recommend giving this place a shot if you're in Charleston! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been looking forward to dining at Pink Cactus after hearing great things. The ambiance is charming, but the food didn't quite blow me away. The shrimp tacos were good but could have had better seasoning. Service was attentive, which I appreciated. Overall, not bad but not the 5-star experience I read about. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! I brought my family here and we were all blown away by the quality of food. The guacamole is a must—so fresh! Our server was incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring we had a great dining experience. Will definitely be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience didn’t live up to my expectations. The tacos were fine but definitely lacked the authentic taste I’ve found at other places. The margaritas were okay, but nothing special. Service was decent, but I’ve had better elsewhere. Might give it another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)
