The food was excellent and the service was even better! 10/10 recommend!! I highly recommend the tampiquena for an entree as the skirt steak is seasoned to perfection and pairs well with the peppers, onions and tomatoes! Looking forward to going back again! read more

This is not a 4.5-star restaurant as the reviews would indicate. On a good day 4 stars. I read all the reviews and was excited - and I will tell you this - the ambiance and the watermelon mint margherita were on point. That drink was amazing. My wife's burrito was as good as you can get at any Mexican restaurant but not really better. I was pretty excited to try the chicken mole because so many reviews were talking about how authentic this restaurant was. When I first got the dish I tried the mole sauce. In my experience a good mole sauce is something that is a passed down for generations with a complex and unique flavor and a minor unsweetened dark chocolate undertone. This mole was not all that flavorful - was somewhat cold and painted over a fried 1/2 chicken. I was going to power through it and this may have been a four-star review - but when I peeled back the breast part of the chicken it was really cold - like refrigerator cold - almost frozen. Not undercooked - cold. This tells me that I was eating a meal that was prepared in advance and then re-heated. I will say that the server was excellent - and when I returned the dish he handled it like a pro, I ended up getting a different dish that was pretty solid - nothing exceptional. I haven't returned a dish in years and was happy with how this process went. I did get comped one of those excellent watermelon drinks which made me happy. All in all - I will probably go again - but I would probably only go to the bar for the drinks and ambiance. I'd give 3.5 stars - but cannot give 4 stars. read more

As soon as you walk in you know this is not a typical Mexican restaurant. It's very beautiful inside and more upscale than usual. Our waitress, Allison, was attentive and helpful. Checked on us often but not hovering! We started with free chips and salsa, very good salsa with a tiny kick. Next we ordered mango margaritas and table side guac. The margaritas are definitely made from scratch, very good mango flavor but get an extra shot if you want to taste liquor. The guacamole was delicious with nice lime flavor. I was disappointed that they had no enchiladas on the menu so I ordered the Molcajete. It's definitely large for one person so plan on bringing home a bag! The food was delicious. The only con was that the meats were not sliced all the way so you had to pull out a chunk to slice. I also feel the steak was a little tough to chew. The pineapple slices were unexpected but delicious. The food came out hot which was great. The chicken fajitas and the steak fajitas were also very good. If you order it with cheese, it's going to be melted in and the pineapple is cut up and mixed in which was unexpected and was the only downside. Hubby liked the shrimp bowl. All in all we had a great meal and would come again. read more

We were the group every restaurant hates to see, 9 people aged 8 to 80 arriving 45 min before closing for full service dinner. From the outstanding service to the drinks to the various plates, almost everything was top notch. Out of 9 different meals, only one said theirs was off the mark. Ambience was a very cool, upscale feel. Definite return if back in the area and craving Mexican. read more

I've been here for happy hour a couple times now and both times its been relatively bustling. The food here is good and their happy hour pricing is very fair. 6 dollar coconut margs are nice and chips and chorizo queso for 6 bucks would be too, if you could get someone to bring you a chips refill. I subtracted two stars because on each of my trips here, the service has pretty much sucked. Both times our party was basically totally forgotten about...no refills on chips or waters and we had to go off elsewhere inside to flag someone down simply to get and then pay our bill. Unfortunately, this consistent shoddy service keeps me from returning in the future. Oh well, lots of other happy hours in Myrtle to enjoy, like Sol y Luna in Carolina Forest. read more

Wow!! Says a lot when you leave the place and immediately want to rave about it on yelp. Amazing drinks, amazing choriqueso, amazing burria chimichanga, amazing molcajate. Melissa was also amazing and sweet as the tres leche we had to finish it off. No notes, you need to go here for upscale Mexican. Muy bien. read more

Great food and service was wonderful! The drinks were fantastic! Very soothing (darker) ambiance but still a wonderful location for dinner!

Cantina Imperfecto was perfectly delicious! The vegetable burrito bowl and chipotle shrimp were tasty and well seasoned. I've had lots of Mexican rice and theirs was some of the best. My absolute favorite thing was the watermelon mint frozen margarita. I would go back just for that! Our server, Jennifer was great and the ambiance was great for a nice night out. read more

Cantina Imperfecto - Watermelon Mint Frozen Margarita - Desserts Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

This place is awesome! They bring you as much chips and salsa as you'd like. Also offer table side guac which was amazing. I'm giving this 5-stars because the food is so great, it would be a disservice to dock them. I got the steak burrito and it was fantastic! The others I was with got the tacos, short rib and carne asade and theirs all looked great as well. The only room for improvement was the very slow service and how long it took to bring our food out. It was packed for Cinco De Mayo, so that's understandable but my burrito was ordered with no cheese dip on top and it still had it. Overall, this place is awesome!!! read more

My family and I went down to Myrtle beach in November of last year and we found this place on Yelp. It was our favorite place we went to! It was a really nice ambiance. There was 10 of us in our party and that was no issue. It was more "upscale" Mexican food. I had a variety of tacos and my wife did as well. If we ever find ourselves down in Myrtle beach again we're going to make sure to come again read more

This was probably my favorite spot we ate at this past summer on vacation. We found out it's owned by another restaurant we love, Drift, and we knew this was going to be a bomb meal too. The space was huge and very upscale for Mexican food which I appreciated. Service was also great and that was hard to come by on our entire vacation so props to them. The food was amazing. Every single thing I ate was delicious. The street corn and ACP were faves. We also tried two desserts and I still think about them to this day. Their cocktail menu was also great, I wanted every margarita but obviously that wasn't possible. Just means this has to be a regular stop every year while on vacation which is great with me! read more

My husband and I decided to try something during our visit to Myrtle Beach. Based on the reviews we decided why not and we weren't disappointed. To start nice salsa and ceviche and a very tasty watermelon mint margarita frozen and non-alcoholic drink. Al Pastor and fish tacos with refried beans and rice. To finish we had churro with vanilla ice cream. We enjoyed everything with tip about $80 check them out and oh the ambiance is very nice read more

While in Myrtle Beach our family wanted Mexican so we decided to try Cantina Imperfecto, the salsa has a nice kick to it but tastes like spicy tomatoes. The queso tastes delicious, served warm. The frozen mango margarita with tajin on the rim was GREAT! The Paloma, teremania reposado tequila, lime juice, grapefruit soda and tajin on the rim was AMAZING!!! The Quesabirria Tacos were ok and the refried beans are bland but the rice was good. The Steak Fajitas were good and the meat is tender. The shrimp tacos were very flavorful. The service was great and staff was very friendly along with a clean ambiance. read more

Cantina Imperfecto - Shrimp tacos - Desserts Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

No complaints ! From the moment we walked in, the upscale ambiance stood out... the decor was beautiful decor. Our waitress, Vera, was a delight--friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. We started with cocktails: a frozen spritzer and a margarita. Both were very tasty. They offer many cocktails! For dinner, we went for the shrimp and steak fajitas, which were sizzling and flavorful, and the spicy pasta dish, which was a delightful surprise. The pasta had the perfect kick, and the shrimp and steak were cooked to perfection. The flavors were fresh, vibrant, and had that "wow" factor. The restaurant has two bars, and we were lucky to snag a high-top table at the bar in the back. It's a great spot if you enjoy a more relaxed, lively vibe. The place gets busy, so reservations are definitely encouraged. In all, Cantina Imperfecto exceeded our expectations. Delicious food, stellar cocktails, and an inviting atmosphere make this a must-visit spot. read more

Some of the best Mexican food I've had in a LONG time. This place is a bit of a hidden gem but a very beautiful and unique one. As I said in a different review, Myrtle is upping their cuisine game and this is another example. Starting with the margaritas, the ingredients are fresh and they're huge!! Unique flavor combos. We ordered table-side guacamole for the table. I cannot stop thinking about it! I ordered Quesabirria Tacos for my main. They were delightful! Super cheesy and the rice was also tasty. Our waiter was attentive, quick, and gave great recommendations. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

Love having an upscale but still fun Mexican restaurant! Salsa and chips were perfect. We had the Carnitas and Fish Tacos. Both were really good but a little dry. We will definitely be back to try some of the other entrees read more

Mixed bag at Cantina Imperfecto. The restaurant is beautiful, decorated nicely. Ownership appears to be a conglomerate of a few restaurants. Service was fine although we ordered an appetizer and 3 minutes later the entrees came out which is exactly what the waiter said would not happen. The carne asada French fries were outstanding, the steak was seasoned and cooked well and their queso is sinful. Quesabirria was not seasoned and the broth was flavorless. The chicken fajitas were a huge portion but again flavorless. Shrimp fajitas were again huge but flavorless. Full bar I would go back for those French fries. Everything else was a pass. read more

Cantina Imperfecto is a gem! The food , the drinks, the vibes.. all super perfecto! My husband and I frequently find ourselves there for date nights and always have a fantastic time. Drinks are the best in the area & the staff is very welcoming. We love to sit at the back bar when Dj is there but regardless it's enjoyable at any time/seat. We have tried just about every entree - tacos, tampiqueña, cantina burger, the Mole, and it's spectacular every single time. We will be back soon! read more

Disappointed usually good but don't go from 3-5 horrible service food didn't not come out timely could not eat together service horrible she didn't listen nor care asked for several things she never came back never brought it we had to ask several Other servers!!! Food terrible fajitas not even sizzling fatty meant lack of meat cheese dip watery so disappointed 2nd time we had this happen same time frame go when they are slammed and eat at bar way better !! Or skip the bad cheese dip and go to Sol De Luna read more

Ambiance and service were both excellent. The restaurant was clean and not crowded at 3:45 PM. Three of us ordered from the lunch menu and one ordered the chicken chimichanga from the supper menu. The food presentation was excellent, but two of the meals (Mango salad with chicken and chimichanga with chicken) were only average due to either overcooked or just tough chicken. None of the deserts except flan are made in house. The restaurant was out of Tres Leche cake, but the butter cake with ice cream and caramel sauce was very flavorful. Since this visit was our first to the restaurant, our server was very helpful with suggestions regarding popular menu items. read more

We really wanted to love Cantina Imperfecto because we love their sister restaurant Drift, but it left quite a bit to be desired. We started with drinks - the margaritas tasted artificial at best (we had coconut and watermelon mint), but the standout was the smoked tequila old fashioned. For an appetizer we ordered the dip trio - the hummus was phenomenal, the cheese dip was good & what we expected, but the "guacamole" dip was not good at all & looked like something you would get out of a squeeze tube. Now they do make actual tableside guacamole & that looked good - but do not expect that on the trio. For meals - we got birria tacos, the molcajete, steak fajitas and veggie fajitas. The birria tacos were delicious. The fajitas were huge portions & also very good. The molcajete was hard to eat because nothing was sliced through and they didn't bring a plate for it. As for atmosphere, it was fairly loud inside the restaurant and our server was very soft spoken so it was hard to hear him at times & he got a few of the drinks we ordered incorrect. He of course remedied that but it just didn't make the overall experience better. read more

The ambience and decor were beautiful (even the restrooms). The service was outstanding - very attentive and accommodating of special requests. Margaritas (Modelo Rita and Skinny Senorita) were some of the best we ever tasted and very reasonably priced. Chips and mild salsa plentiful. Carne Asada tacos were good. Grilled Grouper had chopped rather than the whole piece expected and did not have much flavor Quesabirria was disappointing - the tacos were so soft they fell apart and the consume was very bland. The atmosphere, service and drinks were SO GOOD, we will return and cask more questions before ordering. read more
