The Press

Having lived in San Francisco for a decade, I am a sucker for a big old burrito. When I stumbled upon this place, I was hooked — tiny shack like building, one menu item (served three ways), and a bright yellow sign advertising their domain: burritos! The girl who took my order informed me the steak was a winner and that the owner had some cred being from California. That turned out to be true as my burrito was nicely layered, pressed and warmed and included a surprise — fries. I am guessing the owner hails from San Diego. Feels like a very local spot you have to work to find. Go get yourself a winner of a burrito.

Every time I’m in Charleston, The Press is always on my list — and usually not just once. The food is consistently excellent: flavorful, so well executed for something seemingly so simple, and always delicious. You can tell who ever is behind this really loves burritos and understands what makes them great. Ordering is super easy, whether online or in person, and the staff could not be friendlier or more welcoming. It’s rare to find a place that nails both execution and hospitality, but The Press does it every time. Highly recommend. Get the Steak Burrito

Grilled CA burrito takeaway. Friendly dudes and made fresh for you. Even had the French fries inside. Definitely a gut bomb but worth the extra mile or 2 on the treadmill.

This place is such a hidden gem! The burritos are packed with flavor — I tried the steak and it was perfectly tender, while my friend had the chicken and loved it just as much. They also have a great bean option that’s super hearty and fresh. The atmosphere is just as good as the food, especially with the garden patio — it’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a casual meal outside. Friendly service, generous portions, and unbeatable vibes. Definitely my new go-to spot!

We got a bean burrito and sat outside in their cute garden dining area. It was no wait and quick. The bean burrito was good, not too big but good size. The prices are good too! It’s a great concept, small quick and 3 options. I love that they offer the bean burrito for those of us that don’t eat meat. Would be cool to offer a Gf option too.
