Chico Feo

Chico Feo has been bringing beach-town flavor to Folly Beach since 2013. Tucked just a block from the sand at 122 E Ashley Avenue, this laid-back outdoor bar-restaurant melds tacos, craft beer, live music and a true local-hangout feel into one spirited spot. Built with love and rooted in Folly’s community, the mix of bright drinks, bold flavors and easy-going vibes makes Chico Feo a favorite for post-beach bites, casual dinners and late-night hangouts.

Menu Highlights

At Chico Feo the menu keeps things fresh, creative and unpretentious. Expect served-to-order tacos (often mahi-mahi, chicken or pork) with house slaws and sauces; Cuban-style sandwiches; black beans and rice bowls; and the occasional curry or specialty chef’s dish that reflects whatever is catching the moment on site. Drinks play a big role too — from local craft beers and seltzers to signature cocktails like the “sake lemonade” over ice, and a small rotating selection of wines on certain nights. The kitchen’s concise but focused, making each dish count and keeping the vibe casual and fun.

Atmosphere & Experience

Stepping into Chico Feo is like entering a backyard gathering at Folly’s finest. The bar sits behind a house on Ashley Avenue, surrounded by picnic tables, plants and an open-air environment that practically invites flip-flops, sun-washed hair and beach conversations. The crowd is diverse — day-visitors, locals, couples, families — all drawn by the easy energy, friendly staff and the sound of live music drifting in. While the space is informal, there’s nothing basic about the experience: the food is fresh and inventive, and the drink list shows real care.

Why We Like It

Chico Feo stands out because it captures something essential about Folly Beach: the blend of surf-town freedom, inventive food and genuine local character. Whether you’re grabbing post-surf tacos and a beer, staying for music and friends after sunset, or simply looking for a memorable casual meal, Chico Feo delivers. The proximity to the beach means you never need to change pace — you go from sand to shade to a seat at the bar without skipping the beat.
