If you're in the area for lunch, the $6 lunch buffet is definitely worth the money. You won't eat better food anywhere else for the price! Chips & salsa are included and there isn't any requirement to buy drinks. The staff is super friendly. We always eat here at least once when we visit Kiawah.

This place never disappoints! The staff is awesome and don't miss the chile verde or chori pollo.
Stopped here on a whim as we were driving through. I can't speak for their main entrees, but the straight up tacos that cost $1.50 each were awesome. Filled up on 4 tacos (carnitas) and couldn't have been more satisfied. Highly recommend the tacos.
We call it Elmer's for short. Food is good. Easy parking. Good margaritas. Always fun to meet a group of friends their for World Cup Soccer. Huge TV in bar for that. Only Spanish language on TV. great fun.
