What locals are saying
Tiki Taco on Rivers Ave has a devoted local following as one of North Charleston's go-to spots for authentic, affordable Mexican street tacos, with a 90% recommendation rate on Facebook across 476 reviews. Regulars single out the birria tacos, sopes, street corn, and house-made hot sauce as standouts, and praise consistently fast service even when the spot is packed with the area's business and military crowd. The main caveats are the unassuming (even 'sketchy'-looking) exterior, limited indoor seating, and how easy it is to miss on busy three-lane Rivers Ave — none of which seem to deter repeat visitors.
