    We checked out Abuelo's @eatabuelos new holiday menu this week! Every dish was a standout and flavorful for the winter season. Spicy Mango Margarita - Gran Centenario Silver Tequila, mango habanero purée, fresh lime, chamoy & tajín rim. Sweet, spicy, and refreshing! Pork Green Pozole - Pork pozole in green chile soup with cilantro lime rice, purple cabbage, queso fresco, jalapeños, avocado, onions & cilantro. Comfort in a bowl. Steak & Shrimp Mojo de Ajo - Sirloin topped with shrimp in a Mexican-style garlic butter mojo de ajo sauce. Served with cheesy mashed potatoes and spinach. SO good! Capirotada - Mexican bread pudding topped with sweet cream sauce, caramel, and whipped topping. Available now through February 2nd! Big thank you to Abuelos for inviting us .

    This was a nice place to eat. Went here with a party of 6 on a Monday evening and waited about 20 minutes. We were seated a spacious table near the back where three baskets and chips and three trays of three different salsas were waiting for us. The tortilla ships were light and seasoned. The salsas were all good but the salsa verde and brown salsa were my favorites. Our food came out quickly. I had the fajita tacos with steak which was pretty good. Good flavor even with some chewy pieces. The refried beans had amazing flavor.

    Abuelos is one of our favorite Mexican Restaurants in Myrtle Beach. The food is always good and the Mexican flavors are definitely present. The platters are our favorites. I ordered the Australian Sea Bass which was seasoned, cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. The service is fantastic from the moment you step into the Restaurant and the decor gives the Mexican vibes.

    Came through to pass some time before our JC Penny photoshoot and saw some appealing drinks and food items at Abuelo's from other Yelpers! We sat ourselves at the bar and the bartender was attentive, friendly, and quick. The drinks they offered were aplenty but went with the tried and true mojito. We were impressed by the glass shakers, so much we bought one online after the bartender shared where they got them! The interior is cozy and they have a variety of seating. We ran out of time for food but would definitely return the next time in town solely for how hospitable the crew was.

    Our go to in Myrtle Have lived here for 16 years and this place s phenomenal drinks, corona premier on draft, Fantastic margaritas, even the chips are always fresh, warm and thin. They have the best guacamole dip! Tamales and empanadas, which are not always on the menu at Mexican restaurants

    Chips and salsa

    We ordered chicken nachos and the bacon wrapped shrimp. My husband really liked the nachos. All the ingredients were very fresh. I was a little taken aback by the bacon wrapped shrimp as there were only three shrimp that came with the order. The free salsa was pretty neat because it came with three different variations of salsa and heat. Very beautiful restaurant. It reminds me of a hotel in Vegas. The service was a little slow.

    Who doesn't love Mexican food? Rachel's service was patient talking us through our menu options...the ambiance gives fine steakhouse dining.

    Seated quickly and waitress was prompt with greeting and getting everything going for us. Food was fantastic, beautifully presented and equally as tasteful. Fresh produce and herbs are certainly used here. The Grande was too much for my husband to tackle but he gave it a good whirl. I had the fajita chimichanga and almost couldn't finish it. The queso was awesome.

    Our dinner, Chile Relleno & Enchilada
    Chris M.

    From the very beginning, this was a great dining experience! Service was exemplary, Bianca took extremely good care of us. The chips and salsa were good but our meals were soooo good. We came here on a recommendation from a friend and were open to see how everything would go. We arrived in time for the lunch menu and I had the chili rellano and spinach enchilada while my wife had the tortilla soup. Presentation was great but the flavors were better! We shared each other's food and enjoyed every bite. I would absolutely order the same meal again but next time I will probably have one of the steak or fish plates on the recommendation of our server. We love Mexican food and we love what we dined on here! Bin appetite! (Price was reasonable for the good quality food, a very important part of my yardstick for dining establishments!) Quiet, clean and well lighted, good for casual dining or special dinners with a special person.

    Ate here last night and it was delicious! There was a decent amount of people in the restaurant for a Thursday night but the service was fast. We got the dip platter which was so worth it- the bean dip was my favorite. For dinner I had the spinach enchiladas, and I really liked how there was also corn inside. For drink I had the skinny margarita which was very strong but that's okay;)

    The presentation of the food is great, the salsa verde is the best with pineapple flavor. Unfortunately the rest of our food was not the best, no flavor at all. Fajita dish was very sad... excellent customer service.

    The people were very sweet, but the food not very good. The cheese dip tasted like velveta. Most unauthentic Mexican food I've ever had.

    Food is ok but nothing close to authentic. I'm a beans and rice person and they were good. My husband doesn't want to go back.

    2026 - I believe this place is under new management, but the food is still great. It's one of the…read morefew places in the area that I consistently get great food.

    In researching local restaurants, I read a review that stated they had never had a bad meal in…read moretheir life (?) before this and gave this place 2 stars because the chips and salsa were good. I dismissed that review because I couldn't comprehend NEVER having a bad meal before. Come to find out...that review was spot on! After being seated, we were served chips and salsa. The chips were atypical; thicker than a traditional tortilla chip, but good. The salsa was also different, but delicious. We each ordered the beef chimichangas. Our server was not fluent enough to tell us if it was steak or ground beef and the menu didn't list the options either. Our meals were served with beans and rice on the side. The beans were cold and the rice extremely hot with an unpalatable seasoning that I couldn't identify. The chimichangas had a protein that wasn't ground beef, wasn't steak and wasn't good. It was a weird texture, unlike any beef I've ever had. My first bite was filled with gristle and difficult to chew. The second bite was filled with that odd textured "beef". The third bite was again all gristle and I was all done. I couldn't bring myself to take a fourth bite. Overall it was a terrible meal. On top of that we were charged a 4% for using our credit card. I know this is becoming more commonplace, but it wasn't stated on the menu and definitely not mentioned by the server. Also 4% is on the high side. This Desayundador is NO Buenos!
