Jack of Cups Saloon is known for a wide assortment of local brews and some inventive dishes. I checked out this spot with a few new friends.


There's an indoor portion - which was a nice reprieve from the heat - and outdoor seating as well.



The menu was really cool, with lots of creative options like bahn mi spring rolls or boiled peanut hummus.



I started with the Mushroom Veloute, which is a creamy French soup with shiitake mushrooms and truffle puree.


Then for my main meal, I tried the Green Curry Mac. Ditalini pasta with spicy green curry cheese sauce, corn salsa and romano. Oh my goodness this was unbelievable.

After exploring downtown Charleston, South Carolina, I retreated to Folly Beach to spend some time with girlfriends.


And, at the top of the must-try restaurant list was Taco Boy.


Taco Boy is a Mexican bar and restaurant that features, of course, tacos, as well as quesadillas, rice bowls, and more.



"Karalee Nielsen Fallert founded the original Taco Boy on Folly Beach in 2006, then the downtown Charleston location in 2009. Longtime Operations Manager, April Bennett became a partner in 2017 and the two began hatching plans for the third location which will open in Summerville, SC, in late 2018. All of the Taco Boy restaurants are designed with festive décor that is meticulously sourced on research trips to Mexico. The most recent trip proved to be a gold mine when the group finally found an authentic tortilla maker – realizing the dream of making fresh tortillas in house."


I did the worst job at taking photos - mostly because it was dark and I was starving. But the street corn was unreal.


Then, I went with a baja fish taco and a shrimp taco. Both very tasty.
