Reviews for Ru Ru's Tacos & Tequila in Charleston, SC
Ru Ru's far exceeded my expectations. We ordered nachos with steak and added guac. They were the most well layered nachos in... terms of toppings on chips that I've ever had. The steak had great flavor and was cooked perfectly. We also ordered the friedfish taco and shrimp taco which were very large and priced very fairly. I was so surprised at how good our frozen mangomargarita was. It wasn't too sweet and didn't taste like any of the fake margaritas that you'd get out there. It was strong withgreat flavor. Only frozen margarita that I've had that's comparable is mad dog and beans in NYC. We also were seated right awayand the food came very fast for a Saturday night at 7:30pm. Highly recommend.

The food here was absolutely 5/5 stars. It was absolutely delicious and came out in a timely manner. The drinks were also good... and regularly priced for Charleston. The bartenders we're super friendly. The only reason I did not give it a 5/5 star was therewas a 30 minute wait for a table when there were more empty tables then seated tables. Read more
Absolutely delicious stop if you’re downtown! The staff was awesome and super friendly, and the tacos were AMAZING. Our... favorite was the “Slappin the bass”, which is great even if you’re not a seafood fan. The apps were delicious as well, andthe mixed drinks were the right level of strong. We’ll definitely be back! Read more
We came here while visiting Charleston. Pros: very attentive server, Nicely made drinks, Great Tacos, good tasting salsa. Cons:... no high chair for kids, Very loud music which sort of killed the vibe for me little. Once thing I didn’t understand was usingJasmin rice instead Mexican rice for more authentic taste. Overall 3.7/10. Read more
Restaurant has great location and ambience but terrible food. The stars are only for the cool ambience and its location in the... historic downtown. All food ordered was disappointing. They had fancy names in the menu. Rice bowl had semi cooked rice. Chipswere too salty to eat. Tacos were not impressive. Read more
Our experience was wonderful, we were hot and thirsty and stopped here to basically cool down and get a drink, we both got their... frozen margaritas which are perfection, very well balanced with a good kick of tequila. Tried a fried fish taco and seriously inmy top 3 of best fish tacos I’ve eaten. Very attentive wait staff, great service and great food. Will definitely visit again.Pricey but when it tastes as good as it looks I’m ok With that. Read more
What an experience! Yeah it’s loud and busy, it’s a BAR on king street. Literally the most popular tourist hotspot. Not sure... what the negative comments are expecting. Anyways, tacos are huge and well portioned with lots of toppings. Presentation wasgreat, love the movie names(makes for a fun and unique ordering experience, HA.) Our party of 7 most of us being 100% Mexicanquite enjoyed this menu and the twist it had on some dishes. I was quite impressed with the cheese dip, I simply could not putit down. Definitely recommend and hope to be back again soon! Read more
This restaurant was very spacious and inviting as we entered with a cool atmosphere. This location offers a 10% military... discount. I rated this restaurant as a 3 Star for a few reasons, in which I will explain. First let’s talk about thepositives on the visit. As mentioned above, very spacious and inviting atmosphere and we were seated immediately. The moviequote theme is awesome and creates a fun vibe. On the food, both appetizers ordered were fantastic. The Calamari was fried welland the sauces were awesome. The nachos were exactly what someone should expect. I would recommend a little more seasoning onthe beef and a less salty chip. The service was very nice and courteous. Now the areas of improvement: First off, therestaurant had an awful smell upon arriving and took some time to get used to it. The smell was similar to ammonia. May havelingered in from the HVAC system. As I looked up, the ceiling air vents had a lot of black dust on them. I cannot confirm, butcould be mixed with some black mold, as this is common out of HVAC systems with high ceilings. Next, once we were seated, therewas long gaps in being served giving a perception of a longer than normal wait. The main entrees were bland in flavor and wasdisappointing. The menu stated the tacos were “Super Duper”, however; the price was $4.99 each and that stood out to me as Ihave had some great tacos at Mexican restaurants in California that would’ve out performed the tacos at thisestablishment. My kids menu taco was entered wrong and we got a cheese quesadilla instead. They did correct it. Lastly, thehostess did not refill our drinks one time. This is a big disappointment when being served at a sit downrestaurant. Ownership/Management work on these things and season the tacos a little more and you will have a 4-5 starestablishment.
