I took my kids here and we split brisket nachos for appetizer. I ordered a shrimp taco and a mahi taco. The shrimp taco was absolutely delicious and I would definitely order that again. The mahi taco was a bit dry and I probably would not do that again for that reason. The brisket nachos were good as well. I do wish there was a little bit more brisket, but overall it was good. My kids ordered Nashville Hot, bacon cheeseburger, Patagonia steak, mother clucker with the fries on the side. Both kids finished all their tacos and said they'd order them again. The fries were good too, but I think they were too full to finish. Wed probably skip the fries next time. I wish I could give 3.5 stars for service. Not terrible, but she wasn't quite as attentive from the get go. A table that was seated after us was served first, and we sat waiting after we finished the appetizer before she came to take our taco order. The tables are tight and I was slightly uncomfortable in my seat because the person behind me sat so far away from their table. Lighting was also off - I essentially ate dinner in my own shadow. The weather was nice but we weren't given the option to sit outside even though there were available tables. All said and done, I'd go back but specifically request to sit outside.

We chose this location as a stopover on our road trip as we had two dogs with us. The restaurant advertised covered patio dining that was heated and dog friendly. They were so accommodating and the food was fantastic. We enjoyed our meal and will definitely return.

Never underestimate the power of a small town restaurant! The food is delicious and someone was thinking outside the box! Brisket Eggrolls with Mac and Cheese in them?!! The only things I would change are the salsa and the guacamole … need to have a little more kick to them… but that’s a Texan talking! The quesadillas were really good as well. GREAT service! And large portions… that part WAS Texan! Definitely going back again!

Well seasoned food, usually taco spots are bland and colorless, but this place adds contrast and saturated to the food. Great waiter, and atmosphere ( Dog friendly) fast service, small but still spacious. PATAGONIA STEAK TACO / KOREAN BBQ / FRIES-SPICY RANCH

Willy Taco is a South Carolina gem. We have been to all of them, and they're simply fantastic! Rhiannon, our bartender, and North, the manager, were both fantastic and welcoming. The menu has enough variation to satisfy almost anyone and they have a decent selection of vegetarian options as well as regular menu items. if you are a fan of tequila, they have a great variety, I recommend the Don Gato reposado, and they are ecologically friendly! I am not ab eco-nut, but if I can avoid Styrofoam for my take out, that's a nice simple "icing on the cake" moment for me!

The service was great and the food was amazing! We had the tres amigos and street corn fritters for the appetizers. Then we had some nachos, and several different tacos for our meal. Everything was fresh and tasty! We had the "el camino daddy" margarita and a "cantarito" margarita. Both were very delicious! Our waitress was awesome, and the manager even stopped by our table!

I’ve been going to the original Willy Taco for years and have always had a great experience with the food, drinks, and service. Today I placed a large group order for my day camp—50 meals, with only about an hour’s notice—and this team absolutely rocked it. The order was ready a few minutes before promised, with everything marked and packed beautifully and safely. The team brought the boxes to my vehicle, ensured I had everything I needed, and thanked me for the order. I’ve done group orders at a lot of local places so I’ve seen the whole spectrum of levels of service, and WT Hub City is in the upper echelon. Can’t wait to order again!

Love the creative fun menu and casual atmosphere- a great local hangout. We come here often and the service is always good. Tonight our server Marianna A. was very attentive and friendly and raised the service bar even higher ! :-)
