Pretty solid Mexican food, especially in an area that doesn’t have a ton of diverse food options. The blackened mahi mahi taco was one of the best fish tacos I’ve had in a long time and the nachos were a generous portion, perfect for … More

We have been a fan Cachita’s food trailer for years. We moved to the other side of the harbor so we don’t get the chance to go as much. We happened to be in Mt. Pleasant and decided to pop over to IOP to check out Papi’s/Cachita’s and we … More

Went for the first time and it was amazing. Had their chicken tortilla soup and it was full of avocado, chunks of tender chicken and just the right spiciness. Sooo good. Followed by their churro beignets with hot chocolate sauce with whipped creme and omg! 10 out of 10 on the yummy scale!

The tacos are terrific, drinks are great, and food is great. It is a fairly small menu, but the tacos, nachos, taco salad, and beignet churros were all top notch. It's located near the beach, and has a nice little beach vibe. I'd highly recommend!

Fully enjoyed the nachos. It’s a small little taco shop. The menu has plenty of interesting options. And best of all it’s just steps from the beach. We ordered the beef nachos. It was served very quickly. There was a fair number of chips. … More
