Love love love!
Celiac friendly.
Delicious food, great prices and such a good vibe. The food comes out really fast too.
Pretty sure I ate here 3 times during my last trip to Charleston.
Absolutely amazing. I have gluten and dairy intolerance. The staff were amazing in terms of thinking ahead and also educating me how food is prepared so I felt safe in my choices. 10/10. The steak and chicken fajitas were superb. Loved the margarita. Absolutely will be back. Thank you Ben and Peyton for an amazing experience!
Best food, atmosphere, and service. Seperate fryer for tortilla chips, which means nachos for someone like me that has celiac disease. They are very accommodating and have lots of allergy friendly foods. I can't say enough great things about this Taco Boy. Just bring your sweater if sitting inside.
if you’re looking for the best chips and guacamole in town, you gotta check this place out! The guacamole is incredibly fresh and packed with flavor, and the warm, crispy chips are perfect. Honestly, it is the best I have ever had. While I am not sure where they source their ingredients, you can truly taste the quality.
The owner is a total sweetheart, making the whole atmosphere of the place very welcoming. You can tell she genuinely cares about her customers, which is so nice.
Do not skip the tacos—they are just as amazing and definitely worth a try! They are also extremely considerate of dietary restrictions. My friend with celiac found plenty of options, making it very easy for us to order.
They have a fantastic selection of nonalcoholic beverages that pairs perfectly with the food. All in all, this spot has won me over, and I cannot wait to go back for more deliciousness. Highly recommended!
No dedicated fryer, so no chips if you have celiac. Some sauces contain gluten. Be careful if you eat here. I did get enchiladas (corn tortillas) with verde sauce. They assured me that their rice was safe. I’m not sure I’d go back. I’d rather go to a restaurant that offers more GF options and seems a little more knowledgeable.
They mark GF items on their menu, but not all are celiac safe. Their chips and fries are cooked in the same fryer as the breaded onion rings, so are not safe if you have celiac, but may be ok if you’re gluten intolerant. Most tacos can be made GF by substituting corn tortillas. And their birria tacos can be made without being fried or they can pan fry them if you ask. Burritos can be made into bowls. I honestly had an amazing lunch here and would come back. Just sad I couldn’t have their chips and salsa.
Awesome little taco bar - food was delicious and lots of options - all meats and vegetarian and gluten free as well. Great prices - friendly staff! Loved it!
The food was fresh, delicious, and there were great healthy options for vegetarians, vegans, and those with gluten sensitivities. The prices were great as well. The only complaints to be had were that it seemed a little small and cramped (though really not that bad) and that the frozen margaritas weren't really frozen margaritas...more like a margarita on the rocks with some ice slush swirled in. Still good, just not your typical frozen marg!
What a great atmosphere for King Street! Delicious food with options for vegan and gluten free. The homemade sauces are BOMB! Here is a side salad with grilled shrimp with a homemade vinaigrette
First and probably last time I'll go. Sushi was decent and elote was good. But all the other Mexican food felt very off, crazy salty and all seasoned exactly the same way. I appreciated the various gluten free options, but for the price and frustration of a small place with loud music, probably not a place I'll frequent.
This place is the bomb. Great local spot that serves good food in a causal atmosphere. The team treats you like family. The ajillo shrimp and blackened tuna taco are my go to order and never disappoint. Don’t skip on the rice and beans, great flavor. Thanks for being a great local seafood joint! Also great spot for people with gluten free and dairy free options.
