About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Hot spot
  • Neighborhood gem
Small restaurant located in a 150 year old Charleston single house, affiliated with the Taco Spot, located next door. Southern hot tamales are our house speciality - a combination of Mississippi delta and Texas style - we start with organic yellow corn from Wisconsin, which we nixtamalize and grind ourselves to make our masa. We have two kinds of tamales, a red chili chicken and citrus roasted pork. Our nachos are baked to order. We deliver from our sister restaurant, the Taco Spot. #1 recommendation are the blackened fish tacos with a crunchy corn shells. We have a wonderful cocktail menu along with a wine list and from scratch dessert menu. Delicious house margarita made with our own margarita mix, and the Picador, the original margarita cocktail made with Don Julio blanco, Cointreau and fresh squeezed lime juice. We fresh squeeze all our lime, lemon, grapefruit and orange juice daily. Hope to see you soon!

    Had a very enjoyable dinner at Apartment A the other night. Service was excellent as well as the food. Met the gracious owner who made us feel most welcomed. As locals we will be returning again for dinner in the near future.

    Delicious food. Restaurant is not fancy, not appropriate for a big date. But great for a casual night. Food was wonderful & the menu had a pretty large selection. Will definitely go back to try more.

    great for lunch, try the tamales! Took a little while to get food since they go next door to get most of it. But we were on vacation so not in a rush.
