When cheap eats are on the agenda, park on the plant-festooned patio at this former Huddle House for hearty Mexican fare. Don’t shy away from authentic picks like the Mama’s Specialty, a filling chicken soup topped with cheese and sour cream and served with beef flautas and a side of onions, peppers, and cilantro. Or opt for the crowd-pleasing Fro Burrito, stuffed with your choice of meat as well as salsa verde and jalapeños. Add an ice-cold Dos Equis and you’ve got a meal to satisfy both belly and bank account. 1302 Meeting St. Rd., (843) 722-2633 [Note: There's a Mount Pleasant location at 1471 Ben Sawyer Blvd., (843) 388-3146]
