Don't get me wrong the place looks nice and It has live music . But hear me out i've tried lots of mexican places in and out of the state. I get that they are near the broadway. But their food is no bueno. Also very small proportions and almost all plates are 20 dollars. limited options to choose from, I got the carne asada and my boyfriend got choripollo. Both the carne and the chicken were very dry with no flavor. while we were here we saw others leave because of bad service and because they were not being attended. waiters need work and kitchen does also. band was the only good thing that came out of this meal . read more

My husband and I had dinner here while on vacation at Myrtle Beach. The restaurant was absolutely beautiful. There were large booths that were set apart in these tulip-like cocoons. We ate at a booth in the beautiful bar area that looks like one from a cruise ship. Reuben was our server. He was efficient and very attentive. I had a mojito and was delighted to find it was happy hour. My drink was delicious. My husband had steak tacos, and enchiladas with salsa verde. Both of us really enjoyed our dinner and the atmosphere at this restaurant. Highly recommend. read more

Stopped here after a morning at the aquarium. Was craving nachos, so my father and I sat down for a quick bite. They wanted $28 for nachos so we decided to try the $14 lunch specials. Great idea, I had a stuffed poblano with chicken and a beef taco. Came with a nice tiny salad with guac. The chicken had such good flavor. The pricing was wonky so I dropped a star. The restaurant was beautiful and huge. Would recommend for big parties. Service was timely but we were the only ones in the restaurant. I asked how the chicken was prepared but the server wasn't quite sure. Kind staff. Good eats. read more

They only have white cheese dip which is definitely not my thing!! My wife had the taco salad and she added guacamole to it but it made the whole thing taste like lime. Birria tacos weren't bad but didn't dance on my tongue like I had hoped. read more

El Cerro Bar and Grill has opened in a brand-new building downtown Myrtle Beach, right on Kings Highway near 3rd Avenue South beside the old Krispy Kreme. The location is easy to find, with plenty of clean parking. From the moment you walk through the two massive, castle-like doors, you'll notice the restaurant's clean and spacious layout, complete with high ceilings that give it an open, inviting feel. We were promptly greeted, seated, and quickly served chips, salsa, and our beverages. I ordered the queso birria, while my dining partner went with tacos. Both dishes were very good and freshly made. The restaurant also offers a full bar, so there's no shortage of options if you're looking for a cocktail or other libations. One small note--if you plan to customize your order (such as leaving off onions or lettuce), be sure to make your request very clear. Our tacos initially came out with toppings we had asked to leave off, but the staff was very accommodating and replaced the order without hesitation. Overall, El Cerro Bar and Grill makes for a solid lunch or dinner choice in downtown Myrtle Beach, whether you're craving tacos, birria, or just looking for a relaxing spot with good food and a full bar. read more

El Cerro Bar & Grill - Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Didn't know el cero was a Mexican restaurant and a night club at the same time. communication with the staff was lackluster and the DJ was horrible. Lame song choices and just poor mixing. My girlfriend didn't get one of her sides and our appetizer never came out. it was an experience I won't forget but not for the good reasons. read more

I went to the new El Cerro at 108 S Kings Hwy, Myrtle Beach SC for lunch today with my daughter and son in law. Their flight back home was cancelled yesterday due to the weather, so we were enjoying a bonus day. Nice casual atmosphere and we were very happy with the service. Very friendly and attentive. The food was great and I thought it was reasonably priced. They both had margaritas that they said were really good also. It was my first time at El Cerro and based on that experience, I will definitely go back. read more

Food is just simply not good at all, I know I'm in Myrtle Beach looking for Mexican food but it was unbearable, and I am not a picky eater at all. If you wanna know just go try it out. read more

Atmosphere is fun, good menu, food is ok. We were not pleased with chips that were offered to us, a server delivered them to us and then asked if we would like the extra cheese dip that he had with him, ok, got the bill $8.95 charged for the dip. Drink prices are up also. read more

Oh my gosh wow what an evening I had at el cerro bar and grill. I felt so silly and goofy my entire time and that is exactly how i want to live. HEIDI RULEZ Heidi was literally our tables goat. She made us all feel welcomed and ready to eat some delicious food. Heidi even hooked me up with some of the spicier salsa. Shoutout. Thank you very much Heidi. The food was pretty cool too. My vegetarian enchiladas surprised me not going to lie. Thank you el cerro But most importantly thank you Heidi Peace and Love, Kyler read more

Absolutely the worst Mexican food I've ever eaten by far. This place would need to improve drastically to achieve mediocre. Salsa tastes like out of the jar spaghetti sauce. I ordered something simple this time - taco salad and it came with literally zero spices. It is just boiled mealy ground beef without any flavor at all. Mexican food this is not - it was so bland and poorly prepared that it is genuinely offensive to the palette. read more

First time visit. Ordered the shrimp ceviche and the "El Cerro Special". The food all tasted very good. The complementary chips and salsa were delicious. Our server, Steven provided us excellent service and suggestions. The ambience of this restaurant is unlike any other Mexican restaurant that I've been to. They have a large bar with the list of drinks to choose from. Ample TV with various programs and nice lively background music playing. Thankful that I had a great experience. Keep up the great work. read more

Absolutely loved the food! The cheese sauce was delicious. I had the choripollo and the chicken cooked perfectly. The mini chimichangas were fantastic as an appetizer as well. read more

Good food ! Waiters are really nice and always make sure we were good on refills and etc!!

Food was overpriced for ordinary Mexican food. Nothing special about the food. Drinks were way overpriced. Only 4 other tables were occupied and the music was way too loud. Couldn't carry on a normal conversation with my wife. read more

Very very good restaurant right near Broadway at the beach! This makes it a great location to eat at if your looking for a meal in that area but you aren't looking for crowds. The restaurant is very large and the theming is super cool. The best part has to be the flower booths for larger parties. It's almost nice cause it seems like most tables where preset secluded from each-other. The service was fast and friendly. As for the food it was a home run to! I loved the chips and salsa. The fajitas for two was big enough to be consider a fajitas for six! And the carnitas where delicious to! Great spot for nice eats away from the crowds. read more

El Cerro Bar & Grill - Lunch carnitas - Mexican Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

This place is massive with tons of great decor, open space, and cute booths/nooks. Staff are very accommodating, attentive and even with a party of 27 people they never missed a chance to refill drinks, chips, salsa etc. Margaritas are strong, food is amazing and there's karaoke for those brave enough to give it a try. Great spot in the hectic area of Myrtle Beach and definitely worth a visit! read more

It is simply, "ok". No matter what each member of my family ordered, we all claimed "eh, it's ok". Is ok enough in this economy? I don't think so. Lovely atmosphere and attentive wait staff but the food? It's ok. Would I go back? Not for ok. I can do better than ok at home. read more

We had such an odd experience here. Our bachelor group of five was staying across the way and it happened to be Cinco de Mayo so we came here for lunch. I had been to other locations, but it turns out this one is different. Instead of casual tex-mex, they're a little fancier and the place has a vibe like it turns into a nightclub in the evening. The menu was also a little elevated similar to Abuelos by the mall. Being that it was Cinco, I figured there would be a bit of a party going on, but it was pretty dead. It was during the week, but that usually doesn't stop people. The server was nice at first but seemed annoyed about the whole process as lunch went on until he pretty much abandoned the table. A few people got quesadillas and we all had different presentations on our plate. Also, the quesadilla was not cut into pieces which I've never seen anywhere. We had to keep asking for things like silverware and refills. We were ready to stick around and have some drinks for a bit, but he just came and dropped the cheques and took off so they didn't seem interested in us staying. Being that you're paying the elevated price for the same food and lower quality service, I doubt I would be back. read more

This was my first time at this restaurant and one thing I did notice is everything's is little overpriced if your willing to spend $20 and up go ahead ‍ but I got some sopes but very tasteless ! I couldn't eat them without having too ask the server for salt other than that service was excellent and restaurant was decent. read more

El Cerro Bar & Grill - Sopes - Mexican Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

The resturant is loud and not a great place for intimacy. It's tex-mex more than straight Mexican. I got the chicken enchiladas with pompano cream sauce. They were very flavorful and delicious but the tortillas were a bit chewy. The salsa has good body and mild spice. The guacamole was very heavy on lime and cilantro so really not great. Service was okay. **We were just about finished when employees walked in with their dogs. Not service dogs. While on leash this was wildly inappropriate, it is also against public health policies. Because of that, I subtracted a star from the 4 star the food earned. read more

Food was very good. Our server came out twice and was surprised both times that our food had not come out so he had to track it down. Chicken Monterey was a very generous portion and we took the churros to go. read more

El Cerro Bar & Grill - Island Margarita was the perfect compliment to warm chips and salsa - Mexican Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

This place was rather just blah. The atmosphere is okay as it had interesting decor and building. I wouldn't say it met any kind of Mexican restaurant vibe but it was interesting. Our server was okay. She kinda was just there. Nothing special about the service. She wasn't super attentive nor did she really converse with us beyond our initial order. We ordered the chimichanga dinner and the texana fajitas. The chimichangas were okay but really small. Portion size and quality did not meet the price as it was almost $20 for 2 small chimichangas and some rice. For the Texana fajitas, while the food was plentiful the meat had little to no flavor. The plate was piled high with tons of peppers and onions... that's cool and all but way too much peppers and onions. I was pretty disappointed. We won't be going again as the quality of food doesn't doesn't quite meet the high price point. read more

El Cerro Bar & Grill - Bland meat with the Fajitas texana and Carnitas Chimichanga - Mexican Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

El Cerro is a brightly decorated place outside and beautiful colors and patterns inside. We were thinking some of the booths they were in either flower pods or egg pods. The food was very good and nice sized portions especially my Nachos Grande it was definitely grande. We enjoyed the food and left full! There were not as many choices as some other Mexican restaurants we've been to, but I'm sure you'll find something everyone will like. My daughter is still talking about her Steak Quesadilla!! Our waitress was nice, but she was not as attentive as hubby thought she could've been, but sometimes I don't wanna be asked how's my food every 5 minutes! LOL!!! read more

Restaurant was half full when we arrived at 6. No big deal. Really cool vibe inside with cool decor. We were seated quickly and our waitress was very attentive. One star is for her. She really did a great job. One star for salsa, chips and drinks. One star for for my wife and children's food. Minus a star because it took more than 50 minutes to get our food. 52 minutes to be exact. 52 minutes!!! Minus a star because my dinner had ZERO flavor. I had to put lots of salt and pepper on it to get some taste. Steak and shrimp were extremely tasteless!!! read more

Found this restaurant, driving around as in the mood for Mexican food, and it was truly impressive. It's a large restaurant with a dining area as well as a huge bar area. We sat in the bar area where there were numerous TVs and good music playing. It's got a contemporary atmosphere, and at night becomes a club where there is dancing or karaoke. The food was truly authentic and very generous. The margaritas were top notch. Fairly priced and great tasting. Seban was a great bartender and server. I would give 5 stars and will return again next time I am in town - hoping to catch more of its nightlife offerings as well! read more

Service could've been better. We came with a group of 7 and patiently waited 45 mins -1 hour to get seated. Once we were in the restaurant, our server took our order and we were waiting an additional hour in the restaurant for our food. On top of that, it was disappointing when finally ate our food and discovered that all the dishes were unseasoned. The dishes lacked flavor. If the food was flavorful we would've at least put aside the wait time. We all did not finish our food and did not even want to take home to-go. This experience ruined the night for us because we were waiting almost 3 hours for dinner. read more

Woah, woah, woah DO NOT let this places high rating deceive you. Besides their extremely kind staff, this place leaves a lot to desire. A meal here that is expensive could be gotten for much cheaper somewhere else. The place is very nice, but overall you could do better! read more

We stumbled upon this place and i have to say that i am happy we did!! The decor is awesome, the ambiance is great , the food is delicious and the service was off the charts! We had the server Sebastian and he was awesome. His manners were just impeccable.. Sebastian knew the menu like the back of his hand. I am a difficult eater and he helped me pick the perfect meal. The food was delicious and flavorful. I left full and satisfied. Thank you for a great experience. Sebastian, keep up the great job and always stat as respectful as you were! read more

El Cerro Bar & Grill - Bar area - Mexican Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Bizarre, overpriced, food tastes like what you'd make from generic grocery store mixes. Chips and salsa were very good. Went downhill beyond that. Rice tasted old. The arroz con pollo my wife got was generous and is probably the best value. My enchiladas were kinda bland. Waiter was good and attentive. Kept our drinks and salsa topped up while we waited. The decor and music seems like it's trying to be a nightclub or something. Just very odd place and not worth $50 for two people. read more
