Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be a Tuesday for us to crave delicious, mouthwatering tacos. It would be easy to say that with trending authentic Mexican street food restaurants popping up all over the state that the beloved, flavorful taco has been reinvented. But that’s not the case; Mexican street food has been around for ages. In Latin America, street food is a cultural norm.

Few places in South Carolina go all out to provide an authentic street food experience quite like Tiki Taco.

It’s here that you’ll find an extensive menu of exclusively Mexican street food, served in small bites, just like it’s done in Mexico.

More than a dozen taco varieties fill the menu; most are in the $1.50 to $2.00 range. For under $10, you can fill a basket — and then fill your tummy.
