“ The ceviche was DELICIOUS! I came to town for a visit and I find myself craving it! Lots of shrimp and avocado with a delicious citrus juice marinade. The chips and salsa were good too. Wishing there was one at home! ”
“ Azul Mexicano is simply put lovely. We only got chips, Salsa, and bean dip and it was wonderfully delicious. The service was good we had to wait a little longer than usual on drinks but I can’t subtract a star for that. I have atmosphere 4 because out side the table has holes as a design and can cause you to spill you drink all over you ( just like me ) so be cautious if you sit outside the tables aren’t like that on the inside though. Still 5 stars ”
“ The food is unpretentious and tasty. Also, the pricing is good. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, and can serve easily as a breakfast, lunch, dinner or drinks spot. Minor gripes: the music at lunch time is VERY LOUD! I'd definitely recommend turning it not a notch, but two down. My daughter also disliked the tables, as if was not possible to draw on them (so one thing to consider would be giving some drawing plank to kids). Kids pizza is not particularly good. ”
“ Stopped in because of the awesome lights outside, located right next to the parking garage. Open windows and doors with awesome outdoor seating! 12 lunch specials that give you buckets of delicious food. Drinks also had a decent ratio of alcohol to flavor mixes! Super amazing find!! ”
“ Amazing! We were ready for a break from traditional Charleston fare, and this hit the spot. Outdoor seating was comfortable and our server was attentive and helpful with suggestions. Our meals were absolutely delicious. My husband had a seafood chimichanga and I had a chicken burrito. The plate presentation of the chimichanga was very eye-appealling and abundant. The burrito was plated as just that, a burrito, but oh, my goodness it was SO good. And my mojitos.... also delicious! We highly recommend this restaurant. ”
