19 Best Mexican Restaurants near Murrells Inlet

“Food was excellent, reasonably priced. Restaurant is beautifully decorated and comfortable. We ate there for lunch, and there appeared to be only 2 waitresses on duty. Ours was pleasant and courteous, but the restaurant was fairly crowded, and service was extremely slow. It took a very long time to give our orders, receive our food and even longer to pay for it. I do not blame our waitress for this, but it appeared to be an issue of not enough wait staff. Not sure we will return, as this did not leave a great impression for our first visit.“

“Hands down one of my favorite places now. Cute atmosphere, very nice people and the food was absolutely amazing! I had a grill chicken bowl, could not finish it. I also had taco with chicken( onions/ cilantro). Had a margarita mocktail, the mix was perfect, one of the best around. They have happy hour from 4-6!!!“

“Not sure if I want everyone to know about this gem. The marinated beef on my taco was delicious, the refried beans perfect, the flavored water reason enough to go there. My Spanish sucks so I know there's a lot more here to be discovered on this menu. Tex-mex. The Empanada was good, the chimichanga was very good and the flan was excellent. Prices very reasonable. Already looking forward to going back.“

“As authentic as you can get. From the menu being in Spanish, with English translation, to the grilled peppers and onions that come with your plate. This place is terrific.I grew up in Southern AZ but far from the border, so I'm very picky about my Mexican food. This place is my go-to spot.On weekends, they even have a taco truck running late in the parking lot for those late night cravings.“

“This little jewel offers really tasty food, great service and great prices. We had various tacos with refried beans and grilled green onions. Everything was so flavorful. The owner, Erica is delightful and so welcoming. We sat on the colorful patio enjoying a light breeze. We will be going back to sample the enchiladas.We enjoy funky out of the way eating adventures.Great job, Erica. Cathy.“

“Interesting place. I would like to know what to order, as there was a bit of a communication issue. But that aside the place was clean food good and I look forward to doing the buffet sometime soon. We went in for Birria tacos but didn't see them on the menu. We did indeed order some and they were very delicious. Good service too. We'll be back“

“Excellent Authentic Mexican food!! The Burrito was amazing, as was the taco' and fajitas!! The shrimp cocktail (Mexican) was at least 30 medium size shrimp! Highly recommend this restaurant. They are the real deal, however they do not speak English so be aware that you may have a language barrier, although I believe that they understand English.“

“To say it's difficult to find authentic Mexican food in Myrtle is an understatement. This place is just as legit as a border town in Texas or Arizona. Little street tacos with a big selection of delicious meats. They have carnitas prepared just right, carne asada (steak) with great marinade, and their green salsa is hotter than the red, which is the way it should be. Tortillas are hand made (hecho a mano) at the restaurant, and the rice is like my tia (aunt) used to make. I could only try so much in one visit, but with the restaurant being right by the airport, I am eating there every time I fly in. If you're local to Myrtle, do yourself a favor and stop in. You'll get some delicious food just like you'd get on a vacay to Mexico. Delicioso!“

“Overall, our experience was okay. We walked in and weren’t greeted so we sat ourselves. In the back.We ordered drinks & got the drinks after a few minutes, with the exception of some water. We placed our food order around 2:20pm. After 20 minutes of getting the other drinks, we asked for the cup of water again and a server with a bow (not our server but she was super friendly!) helped us out.We got half our order around 3:10pm and the fries were cold. After another 10 minutes we got the other half of the order. Everything was delicious! The chilaquiles were my favorite, they’re a little spicy but the sauce was well balanced and authentic. Their horchata is also delicious.I think it’d be best to visit at a non-peak time if you want eager service that matches the price point. We didn’t get checked up on by our server until we were already finished eating.“

“10/10 always! Since I moved away it is so hard to find GOOD Mexican food that isn't outrageously expensive and for this el cerro will always hold a special place in my heart. (You really don't know what you've got til it's gone) Free chips and salsa which is always a plus. Delicious queso and HEAPING portions (this was lunch portioning). Large drink selection, A+ margs, quick friendly staff members, and a good vibe for whatever kind of day you're having. What's not to enjoy????“

“Found this gem by mistake and I'm absolutely THRILLED because my family and I LOVE it here!Everything on the menu is phenomenal so we come here every few weeks from Conway! This is easily one of my favorite places to eat.. totally worth the traffic and swing-bridge!“

“This was my first time at the restaurant but my cousins had been there before. The food was good, the atmosphere was good, the music playing was great(had me and my little cousin dancing) and the other customers were great to talk with. Our waitress was not attentive at all. She came a few times to see if we ready to order but after that, we seen the other waitresses than her. The most we seen her was when she brought the checks and she was very attentive then. She kept coming back to see if we were ready to pay. When we did get our food, I asked for a plate to put some on because we had got a shareable and I was brought a Barbie playhouse plate. All in all, it was a good place to visit.Edit: I forgot this picture. I thought the cups were used once and I was wondering how you all was able to do it. I was told the cups were able to be taken home. While we were eating, I seen this spot but I thought it was from the soda being cold. Got in the car and I noticed it was still there, with no drink in it. That isn't good.“

“I would like to give a shout out to this business and business owner. First let me say we have been here a couple times, when we are in town- we have been remodeling a beach home, and to say we are exhausted is an understatement. We decided we needed some margaritas. They were extremely busy, but still able to sit us quickly. From the time we sat down, our server seemed to be a little bit off- but none the less we figured he was just stressed out from the influx of customers…. Service started out slow, and we waited a little while for our drinks… but honestly didn’t think very much of it because again they were slammed busy. About 45 minutes into our dining experience there. The owner came out of the kitchen, (as he had been working extremely hard) just like the rest of our staff to inform us that he has sent that server home, and someone else would be taking over our table. Much to their surprise and ours it didn’t appear that any of our food has been rung in although we had been there quite a while. With that said the new server came over and quickly retook our order, the food came out quickly and was perfect! No establishment is perfect, but they handled the situation beautifully, and we couldn’t ask for more! Great job guys. We will definitely be regulars here!“

“I have eaten here for almost ten years. I get take out atleast twice a month and the food is always spot on. They sometimes have up to 5 different salsas/sauces something I’ve never come across any other Mexican diner. The ladies in back even make the tortillas FROM SCRATCH! Horchata is 10/10 lick the bottom of the cup clean good! One sope is almost enough to fill you up. Nice big portions.“

“laPoblanita was one of the best Mexican Restaurants I've ever eaten at. The food was authentic just like the reviews stated. My entrée (fajita) came out just like the picture how often does that happen?? Our Waitress was so pleasant and answered all of our questions about the menu.“

“Ohmygosh, I have FINALLY found a very good Carnitas Burrito! Their refried beans were pureed and bland, and I wasn't a fan of the salsa, but that's okay, they have tons of other things on their menu that I can't wait to try. The food is Central American - Honduras I think, so not really Mexican food, but it's the closest you will find in Myrtle Beach, haha. We will be back!“

“If you are in Bossier, this is a must do. Definitely the best food I've had in all my years of coming here. Tiara, the lovely lady behind the counter, helped me through the menu since it was my first time there. She recommended the combination plate, and I'm so glad she did. I was going to take my dinner to go, but the ambiance was so friendly, I decided to stay and eat there. The combination plate had grilled shrimp, steak, and chicken with fajita style peppers and onions, freshly made pico, lettuce, refried beans, and rice. It was served with homemade warm corn tortillas. She brought me some homemade sauces also. So good. I also had to get a beef barbacoa street taco because of all the yelpers raving about them. They were all correct. Get one. No, get two. They are absolutely the best barbacoa tacos I've ever had. My next trip will include a shrimp cocktail. I saw Tiara carry one to the next table over, so I took a picture of it to post. I will be visiting this fantastic restaurant every time I'm in town.“
