" I came here for lunch with friends, and we had a lovely time! The food was fresh and flavorful. I tried the chorizo tacos, and they were delicious! It did feel a bit cramped inside, though. Overall, a wonderful spot for lunch. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Pincho Taco has potential but missed the mark on my last visit. The tacos lacked seasoning, which was disappointing. However, I must commend their friendly staff who were very accommodating. I might give it another chance down the line. " (*Curated Review*)

" From my experience, El Pincho Taco serves some of the best Mexican food I've encountered in Charleston. I tried their vegan options and was pleasantly surprised by the flavors. The tinga was indeed fantastic, and the portion sizes were more than sufficient for the price. However, our server seemed overwhelmed and could have been more attentive. I'll definitely come back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Highly disappointed with my recent visit to El Pincho Taco. The tacos were bland and felt like they had been prepared ahead of time. The service was fine, but I expected much more based on the reviews I read. I may revisit in hopes that my experience was just a one-off. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great atmosphere, great food, but the service is a bit hit or miss. Some days it's fantastic, other times it feels rushed. Regardless, their authentic Mexican flavors keep drawing me back in. Highly recommend their tacos al pastor! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely the best taco place in Charleston! Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, and most importantly, exceptional food. I loved the street corn and tacos de lengua! I highly recommend this spot for anyone in search of authentic Mexican flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Pincho Taco is a hidden gem! The tacos here are bursting with authentic flavors that remind me of home cooking. I especially loved the carne asada tacos, which came with fresh cilantro and onions. The portions were generous, and the prices fair. I will definitely return to try the other items on the menu. Great spot for casual dining! " (*Curated Review*)
