The best Mexican restaurant in every US state

South Carolina: MESU, Charleston

Cool Charleston hangout MESU marries two complex, crave-worthy cuisines: Mexican and Japanese. The menu offers a selection of reliably delicious creations inspired by the culinary cultures of each country. Diners can stick to tacos (with favorites like Baja fish and barbacoa braised beef), order a platter of sushi, or grab a combination of the two. The fusion element is subtle, with tomatillo salsa in some of the sushi rolls, and tacos lifted with daikon, a type of Japanese radish.
