From succulent chicken and pork to our celebrated vegetarian and vegan selections, our menu is designed to please every palate.

Guests will be captivated as they watch our talented chefs steam tamales to perfection, right before their eyes.

But it's not just about the tamales. Our carts bring a slice of Mexican festivity to Charleston, complete with the enticing aromas of steaming masa, the cheerful sizzle from the griddle, and a colorful presentation that's as delightful to look at as it is to eat. It's an immersive culinary experience that promises to leave your guests with fond memories of their journey through the flavors of Mexico, without ever leaving the Holy City.

For an authentic Charleston tamale party, consider featuring local favorites like Dave's Smoke & Tacos for a unique twist on Mexican cuisine with their slow-smoked meats and artisanal tacos, or Papá Grande Comfort for a fusion of Cuban and Southern comfort that brings the party to your palate. Both food trucks are celebrated for their commitment to quality, local ingredients, and their ability to turn any event into a fiesta.

Food was very good and our guests enjoyed it. However, the wait for food orders was 35 to 45 minutes. Thankfully we also had an ice cream truck that guests could visit and have their ice cream while they waited for their lunch order.

: Not the style of teriyaki I anticipated. But overall the flavor was OK. Veggies and fried rice were quite good and the portion size was excellent.

I have visited this truck twice now, each time they didn't have an ingredient i wanted, but they've always suggested something in its place, both times I have been very pleased with the results, their pizza is TOP NOTCH, very delicious and satisfying

the lamb meat was excellent. I would have liked a little more vegetables, but overall it was excellent. I would eat there again and would try other options.

We hired Dave's S&T for a corporate employee appreciation event, and it was a smashing success from start to finish. Great communication in advance, very reasonable fixed price menu, impressive streamlined efficiency that prevented a line/wait for food, great customer service with our employees, tons of options on the menu, and fresh, flavorful food that *almost* everyone went absolutely crazy about (I mean, you can't please everyone. But it was as close to a resounding consensus as we've ever had). We'll book them again!
