Word on the street
What locals are saying
Tiki Taco's College Park Road location is the original flagship of the local chain, opened in 2014, and is regularly praised by locals for serving authentic West Coast-style street tacos at affordable prices — with birria tacos, carne asada, and the homemade hot sauce as frequent standouts. Critics push back on flavor depth, with some reviewers on TripAdvisor describing the tacos and tamales as 'very bland,' and the location sits at a middling 3.3/5 on TripAdvisor (#148 of 227 in Summerville), though Restaurant Guru aggregates a stronger 4.2/5 across nearly 1,900 votes. The overall local consensus is a solid, casual, budget-friendly taco spot — better than most chain Mexican in the area, but results can be inconsistent.
