What locals are saying
Taco Boy on Huger Street is widely credited as a Charleston original that helped pioneer creative, non-traditional tacos (think kimchi beef, tempura avocado) in the city back in the mid-2000s, and it remains a recognized staple on local 'best tacos' lists. Locals — skewing younger and post-grad — tend to go more for the biergarten-esque courtyard, hefty margaritas, and eclectic party atmosphere than as a serious taco destination, and long waits at peak hours are a recurring gripe. The vibe is reliably fun and the space is dog-friendly and group-friendly, but those prioritizing food over atmosphere may find other spots more rewarding.
