Minero

Charleston


James Beard Award–winning chef and Charleston darling Sean Brock is behind this vibrant and affordable Mexican joint. The food to get is the tacos, which involve inventive, flavorful combos like catfish and pickled green-tomato tartar or grilled cauliflower and salsa macha. There's a long, awesome tequila list too.
