We went to Taco Boy last year and had a wonderful experience. Today, the food was fine but the service was terrible. We were sitting at the bar. Bar was not cleaned off. My water glass has lipstick on it. When I pointed this out...to one of the bartenders, she took it away but did not bring me a new glass of water. Took a while for our plates to be taken away. Had to ask for hot sauce twice. Bartender asked if we wanted another beer and we said no, the check. Several minutes later, same discussion. Only worker who seemed to care was the bus boy. Bought a bottle of their hot sauce on the way out. Was told it was $8.72. I gave him a $20. Guy had to ask someone how to take cash. Finally went to the bar to get me my change. Handed me $11 and said "here is you change". Guess he decided to keep the $.28.More

Went to Folly Beach and decided to pop in for some tacos. Very cool place with good food. The roof top wasn’t open due to time of year. It was a pretty warm day and they do still have outdoor seating on a lower level....This place has a tree house look to it. We ordered taco boy queso with ground beef. We also had the Birria, Carnitas, and Buttermilk Fried Chicken tacos. All three were delicious. We would definitely eat here again.More

The choices that I wanted were out of stock by 6: 00. Yea right. Ordered a $12 glass of wine and only received 3 ounces when a 6-ounce pour is the standard. Never again. Trying to be cheap to save money. You are a tourist....Begone peasant.More

We came to Taco Boy for a late dinner. The place was pretty busy but not crazy. We were served right away and the pretty much left along the rest of the time. The food was just ok, not bad but not good either. The...margaritas were very good, best part about the place. They had a DJ and dance floor that was full of people that had a little too much to drink. Fun to watch but not to join.More

We waited an hour and a half once we were seated to get our food. It was December 26 and cool outside. They said it was a 25 minute wait for indoor seating which was not full lack of staffing. Horrendous server would not recommend...going here ever again. We spent $109 on four people for several tacos and a few beers. Ridiculous go somewhere else. $10 to park next-door.More

Several items were not available even though they were on menu. Server said these were new menus. Why not tell you this before you order. Ordered 3 tacos, which were suppose to be their famous bye corn homemade tortilla. Instead we got very small tacos...tortillas that were limp not crisp. Don’t expect normal chips and salsa. We were served spicy fried greasy garbanzo peas. Couldn’t eat… awful!! Such a disappointment!!! We love Mexican food .. Not here!!!! give it a 1/2 star, but the margarita was good. Go to Rita’s won’t be disappointed !!!More

Taco Boy has been very successful since the food ole' days when it was on Center Street. Now that it has expanded and changed locations they have been awesome. Food is better. Waitresses are friendlier.

Taco Boy is a must when visiting Folly Beach! The atmosphere is a really cool vibe. We had a group of 7, including 2 children. The guac & queso were delicious & the tacos were out of this world! We all ordered different ones &...we all loved what we got. Highly recommend!!More

Impressed with how tacos can turn out on the east coast. Both the kimchi and fish tacos were amazing. The corn tortilla is by far superior. Blood orange margarita was unique and tasty, but the dips left something to be desired. Tried the trio. Would...get tacos and drinks again for sure. Mexican street corn was also on point. Give this place a quick stop for lunch if spending time on folly beach and you won’t regret it.More

You have to go to Taco Boy on your trip. The ambiance and atmosphere was so beach town. The food was OK. Nothing that blew us away, but wasn't bad either. It was a fun restaurant.
