★★★★★ 5.0 Tammy Desameau · Sep 2025

Our bachelorette group of 9 ladies showed up at opening and they quickly seated us. We were greeted by the sweetest waitress, Althea, who took the best care of us. For apps, we ordered the street corn queso, crispy brussel sprouts and crab crake bites. For our entrees, we ordered various tacos, quesabirria, and nachos. Everything was delicious. The meats and flavors were cooked to perfection. Great twists on Mexican favorites. We loved the brussel sprouts app so much that we had to ask for the recipe, which they happily shared. We highly recommend this spot if you need to satisfy your Coastal Mexican cravings.

Visiting from Lexington, SC and stopped for lunch. The food is delicious, the service was excellent and the atmosphere is perfect. Althea took care of us and we will ask for her next visit. She was efficient, personable and knowledgeable about the menu. I highly recommend Mex 1 Coastal Cantina. Perfect setting for families, couples or if you are just wanting to sit at the bar and have a drink. Picture of fajitas with chicken.

Great experience! Sitting at the bar, expertly tended by the talented bartender Adam, was a highlight of our visit! The new menu options are impressive, & we particularly loved the Mexican-themed flavored wings. The jalapeño + dry rub wings were crispy & packed with flavor. Highly recommend!

I was reluctant to leave a review here because I came here for a Wine and Food event with a tasting menu but I truly believe that even after eating from this menu that their food from the regular menu has to be just as good! Every course was packed with flavor, texture and enjoyed it with a margarita! The atmosphere was vibrant and fun and I definitely want to come back and try their regular menu food. Big shout out to their amazing staff,Morgan and G4 tequila for putting this together!
