The Press · Cannonborough
This Coming Street lunch counter is built around a griddled California-style burrito, from a chef who first made his name cooking burritos at Minero before opening his own pressed-burrito concept on the peninsula. The Post and Courier pointed to it as the fix for anyone missing Minero's burritos while that restaurant prepared to reopen on Johns Island.
El Molino Supermarket · West Ashley
A taqueria counter tucked inside a West Ashley supermarket, serving burritos and tacos built on barbacoa, pastor and carne asada. Charleston City Paper named it Best Burrito in its 2026 Best of Charleston readers' poll, with Santi's Restaurante Mexicano as runner-up, and it operates a second location on Rivers Avenue in North Charleston.
Santi’s Restaurante Mexicano · North Charleston
Santi's took Best Burrito in Charleston City Paper's 2025 Best of Charleston readers' poll, then landed runner-up to El Molino the following year, running three locations across downtown, Mount Pleasant and West Ashley. It also won Best Mexican Restaurant outright in the 2026 poll, a rare double showing for one Charleston-area kitchen.
Lola's Authentic Mexican Cuisine · North Charleston
A Rivers Avenue lunch counter that Charleston City Paper's taco trek guide describes as busy any day during the lunch rush, at the corner of Rivers and Durant. The menu covers burritos, tortas, empanadas and tacos, drawing a steady crowd of regulars who know exactly what they are ordering before they walk in.
