If you want to relax and truly feel the ‘vacation vibe,’ visit Chico Feo! Staff were efficient and friendly, food was great and the drinks were cold! The live music was also a great plus! The sesame noodle special and street tacos were excellent! There is bar seating as well as several tables of varying sizes for groups/families. Chico Feo is located within walking distance to the beach as well as other local shops, yet is surrounded by trees and feels secluded. We absolutely loved Chico Feo and wished we could have visited more than once!

Simply the best. This would be my regular locale if I lived around Folly. Everyone was so awesome and in the best mood. The music was fantastic too. You have to get a Samurai Sling (beverage). Dog friendly!

Chico Feo is not for everyone. If you are looking for a stuffy, formal atmosphere you have come to the wrong place. If you are seeking top quality very reasonably priced food served by super friendly laid back folks while listening to great live music then this is your place. I have dined here many times and every meal was 5 stars and I love the music and fellow patrons.

This place came highly recommended from both locals and a couple friends of mine. This meal did not disappoint! We brought our pup along and enjoyed some REALLY good, authentic food. The music playing (not live) was the perfect vibe. Bartenders were friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed our time here.

Found this place in a search for street tacos and it was well worth the trip. Parking is a pain to find, so drop off your party and tell them to order you the pork tacos. It will take a few minutes to park and walk back. This place has a very beachy vibe. They do allow dogs and have a water station. You have to order at the bar, but they bring out the food.

My husband and I had the best pork tacos there. There was this seltzer drink from Revelry brewery, with fruit that was amazing. I would love the recipe to that drink. I have been trying to duplicate it but I can't. Delicious!

We've been coming here for years because it's great. Unassuming beach bar with tons of character. Outdoor seating year around under big oak trees and Spanish moss. Very casual, first come, first serve. Variety of beers and drinks with a daily limited menu that is culinary excellence. Never had anything that wasn't excellent. Everyone is friendly, live music, and super dog friendly. Not to be missed, the local hang out bar of Folly.
