The best nachos around. They are piled high and delicious. Easily serves 4 or more. Great location and awesome staff!

In town for bike week and was looking for a good Mexican cuisine. I looked at reviews and decided to check it out. Glad I did! My family and I were completely satisfied. No complaints. Beautiful presentation, little wait, delicious food. Great service and drinks stayed filled up. Great atmosphere and unique design. read more

The food is always good at the Lama! The reason for the 3 star review? The service. Waited for a while on my adult beverage. Had to ask for napkins and silverware. My server got a tip but not as much as he would have. It was noon on a Sunday after Labor Day so wasn't crowded. No excuse for bad service. read more

Got some take out from the llama and it was outstanding. All the varieties of fluffy tacos and a giant margarita. Perfection! We will be back! Thank you to the very accommodating bar and waitstaff who managed all of this during a busy evening! read more

We came, we saw, we couldn't get waited on, and we left. The nachos looked great. Saw lots of waitresses and only 4 tables at 8pm read more

The food and service were great, but we made the mistake of eating outside. Wish we had eaten inside- the flies destroyed us.

The food was pretty good. The beans and rice were great. The taco filling was good, but the corn tortillas were awful. The decor and environment was cute, the service was slow. But they were training new people. read more

We were excited when we first arrived. Seated right away outside. This was the first mistake. Nats and flies were bad. We were offered drinks right away but that's where it started going bad. We were glad we ordered chips and cheese and salsa because one hour later we got our food that was not at all hot. It was not bad but certainly did not make up for the bad service. I do not recommend. read more

The blackened fish taco was flavorful and seemed fresh. The tortilla was fluffy and tender. Great atmosphere with live performer with a great personality. Server was super friendly and prompt. The brisket nachos easily feeds 2 or 3 people. read more

Chimichanga Llama - Nachos - Salad Near Me - Surfside Beach, South Carolina

Fantastic location. Unique menu. Decent prices. This is not your traditional American Mexican food spot. Loge the black beans and corn. The cauliflower taco was too smokey for my liking but glad they were trying to provide vegetarian options. read more

Wow! This place is amazing. The best food I think i've ever had. Don't even get me started on the waiter. His name was Kamryn and he was a joy. Very effective, educated, and well mannered. He helped us through all of our food deciding endeavors. Scott the manager was also amazing and extremely nice to meet and talk to. read more

The atmosphere is great. I ordered a chimichanga without meat, but it came with meat in it. The manager came to apologize and they fixed the problem quickly! I would recommend the fish tacos and the plantains! So yummy!!! read more

This was the first restaurant my family and I visited while on our labor day weekend vacation. We initially were going to dine in, but the place was crowded and too loud for my daughter. So we decided to order to go. I ordered the beef chimichanga and the bang bang shrimp taco. The food was horrible. No flavor. Do not go expecting authentic Mexican food,this place does not have it. read more

Good food and service. The 'Chick'arrones are a must try! We are really enjoyed our visit

The food was average and the service was horrible. Server never came back after taking order. Food brought out wasn't complete as apparently she didn't enter the complete order and at some point we got up and went to the bar to get a refill on a drink read more

Initially sat inside but a strong cleaning odor mixed with fish caused up to switch and dine outside. Service was great! Food was average. Everything seemed a little dry and bland. Outside setting was very nice. Not sure if we will return and try a different menu item. We got the Chimichanga and tacos. read more

This is such great little hidden gem. Locally owed Fantastic food and service! Met the owner, super nice guy. Recommend 10 out of 10!

What a great little restaurant! I had the chicken quesadilla - next time I will ask to not have the sauce on the outside - much too messy - but tasty! My husband had the carnitas quesadilla. He liked it too. They brought out some very hot salsa for us, which we loved. The $8 margaritas were GOOD! We also got 10% off because we are now locals. We will be back!!! read more

I ordered a chimichanga with 2 sides online. I was under the impression that queso came smothered on top of the chimichanga as that is how pretty much all of them come, but that is not the case. The menu online says "topped with queso", but there wasn't a drop on mine. The refried beans were pretty good, and the street corn hominy was okay. Was hoping for more from this place. Wasn't worth the $16 meal in my opinion. read more

The whole family was happy We were visiting Surfside and decided to try out some of the restaurants, this was by far our favorite! Live music, enormous nachos, and a friendly staff. The kids loved their tacos. We will definitely be coming back when we make our way back to Surfside read more

Many thanks to Maddy,Turner, Mitch, and Koa ( yes, we spend a lot time there), for their friendly, efficient , service. Scott, for taking good care of us, and Jaime for the excellent food. All of it! read more

The food is extremely tasteful and portions are generous. Seth was a great server and had wonderful attention to detail. Deborah at the hostess stand was super friendly. This restaurant is one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area. Will definitely be back. A great place to visit and location near the beach provides a great atmosphere. read more

Chimichanga Llama - Salad Near Me - Surfside Beach, South Carolina

I recently "dined" (quotations because dined is an exaggeration) at this establishment a few nights ago. Not only am I writing this review so the owners can hopefully read this and learn the restaurant game is not for them but also as a duty to the public in a sense of safety. First off the restaurants name "Chimichanga Llama" is a tounge twister in itself. I should of known but the stupid and purely idiotic name that the food would be subpar but little did I expect the food to be a hazard to public health. Shortly after I ordered I had to wait at the sticky and grimy tables with faded paint I could hardly speak to my friends over the loud music. The staff with no apparent uniform brought out the food which tried to overcompensate with flashy but sloppy presentation for its lack of taste. Only a few hours after I consumed this "food" I realised I should of stayed home and cooked. I was faced with the absolute worst episode of food poisoning. DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT UNLESS YOU WANT TO PURGE YOURSELF or if your LOOKING TO LOOSE WEIGHT RAPIDLY. A cheaper ozempic for sure with an even worse name 0/100 stars avoid for your health and well being. read more

Riley and Brady are the super stars of chimichanga llama! This is my second visit and I will visit every time I come to Surfside. 100% recommend the Hawaiian tacos omg to die for read more

Food was great. I had the cheese and beef quesadilla and my husband had a chimichanga. We had the guac, which was really great also. Staff was pleasant and attentive. Manager came out to make sure everything was good and helped make it better. We sat outside where the breeze was blowing and it had a vibe of a cute little laid back beach town. We loved the feel of it. read more

Got the fluffy tacos and was not disappointed. Ice cold beers on tap, great atmosphere, would definitely recommend

Food is great the chimichanga is awesome and the chip and cheese are delicious. The staff took care of us while the restaurant next door was incapable of during desirable service. Give them a try and you won't be disappointed! read more

Bryan was awesome! Absolutely wonderful service, food came out so fast. The atmosphere was phenomenal. We will definitely be going back before the end of our vacation! There was also a waiter there that's was as THE BEST, but unfortunately didn't get his name. read more

What a cute little place right across from the pier and the beach. We stayed close by so this place was our go to. When you eat somewhere new and you like it, you go back again and try something else that caught your eye. Well we went to the llama four times. Solid run restaurant with ties to their neighbors, Hyena Pizza and Gracious Pig. All of our meals were good. The quality and the cook on all meals were spot on. Guac- Fresh and great taste. A little kick from the Jalps. Fluffy Tacos- Had the fried fish. Perfect. Nice spice and fry. My wife had it 2x. Quesadilla- Had the mushroom and the chicken. Both were awesome. Nachos looked HUGE. Chimichanga looked delicious too. Ice cold beers and decent tequila selection. Although they could use a tequila menu. Even bought a shirt for support. A little steep at $30 but a nice souvenir. I read a lot about bad service, but we always eat at the bar. Coastas was always prompt if we needed anything. read more

Everything was awesome. From the service to the food. Cute painted llamas everywhere to up the ambiance

Fun place to sit outside and get the beach vibe. Please be aware that you will be sitting right near the road, but it's very slow paced. Food was pretty good! We will return. :) read more

Riley and Matti were awesome. Great service and food. Atmosphere was nice. Live music was soothing and allowed for conversation. Riley was pleasant friendly and made sure we were happy read more

Amazing food and staff! Love the environment and that its family friendly. Great place by the beach!

This place has it all. Great food, staff and view! Love the Llama! Classico Taco with Mango Habanero forever!

The food here is super yummy! The plantains are my favorite Our server tonight was Elsey R and she was fantastic! Super sweet, and very helpful when we had questions about drinks. It was only our second visit, but we will def be back read more

Got peckish while relaxing in the beach and decided some Mexican food would feed the beast. Got a pile of nanos which was enough of a meal on its own. Also got a chicken quesadilla which was delicious! I was a bit nervous of a margarita but my husband got one I tried and the promptly stole from him. Mango margarita on the rocks with salt rim. After finishing his I got a frozen mango margarita no rim. Definitely worth a stop for a mid day meal. Plus super fun name. read more

Too pricey. Margaritas are $14 but prices are not posted on the table rounder menu so it can be a shocker. Food too average for the price as well. A lot of other locals like El Cerro Grande are well above in quality. You're paying resort convenience fees. Don't make this mistake. Its nice to eat outdoors but $35 a head easy with pricey drinks and an ala carte menu. read more

We were not told there was a $2 additional fee for "frozen" margaritas & we had to pay for salsa & chips.

Chimichangallama Review I want to like this place. Hell, I really want to LOVE this place. But, I just can't. A little background: My wife and I *almost* live in Surfside. We're west of 17, and our ZIP used to be Surfside, but we're now in a Myrtle Beach zip. Four miles from the beach; we feel like SSB is our town. We've been looking for a favorite beach bar, and hoped that CCL would be it. first of all, your staff is incredible. Everyone we met was friendly, courteous, and inviting. I like the building, the layout and the seating options. And, of course, I'd love the location. My wife and I have visited a few times, but our last visit was on Monday, March 13. We went for dinner, and a drink or two. We were seated at a two person table near the bar. Again, no issues at all with the staff or the seating. We had margaritas. While I enjoyed the taste of my fiery margarita, it certainly tasted like too much mix and nowhere near enough tequila. My wife said the same thing about hers. App: I ordered the "chickarrones" with Peruvian dry rub, and blue cheese. Normally, I'm not one to complain about portion sizes, but I got a big basket of chicken, which was, unfortunately NOT dry rubbed. The chunks of chicken were perfectly cooked, nice and crispy, but without the rub, they were quite bland. At least the blue cheese added a little bit of flavor. And no, I did not address that with the staff. I figured it was kind of inconsequential at that point. I ordered the "el smasho torta" which was a burger on a brioche bun. I mean, can a brother get a tortilla? It was OK, but pretty bland. I'm glad I ordered the street corn hominy, though. It was quite tasty, despite needing a little more street-corn seasonings, in my opinion. My wife had the fluffy tacos, and she said they were "good enough." That's it, that's her review. "Good enough" And finally, while I think the prices are too high, I'm sure they are right in line with every other establishment in the heavily traveled tourist areas. Put all this together, combined with our previous experiences, and I doubt will ever be back. And I'll keep looking for a new, favorite neighborhood bar near the beach. read more

Food and flavors are absolutely fantastic! Enjoyed the live music that wasn't too loud and perfect for the environment and audience. Loved the decor and ambiance. Service was impeccable. Will definitely be making this a regular place to visit. read more
