Incredible food at great price. Went here for a weekday lunch and was amazed that the line wasn't out the door. Truly a hidden gem with very friendly people working here and excellent decor. Can't recommend the tacos enough, likely the best I've ever had! read more

Best Mexican food in town!!! Everything is great priced and healthy options! Come eat here trust me

My husband originally went on a Tuesday, based on the hours posted on the website, only to find it was closed. So he went back on Wednesday because he really wanted to try the beef tongue tacos. He did take out, the tongue tacos for himself and a chicken quesadilla for me. The place is fairly small. The food was okay, the serving sizes small for the price. Not sure we'll go back with so many other places to try. read more

The place is small, the waiters are quiet but nice overall. The food is decent id say fun size. The chips and salsa were cold and felt old like if made the day before just because they weren't warm but that's okay. The main course made up for it. The birria tacos were amazing and are everything they should taste like. The tortas are big and overfilling so you can take the rest home!!! It's a nice small place. read more

Authentic and delish! Tucked away off main roads but worthy of finding. tacos we had were so good..and cheese sauce was over top!! so happy we looked this little place up and went in. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Seems like a real local spot not a lot lot of people and really good prices. we will be back the next time we go to myrtle beach! read more

Great staff and the food is original and very good. If you like authentic Mexican food you have to give those place a try you won't be disappointed. read more

My husband and I both got tacos de birria and it was fantastic! We will defiantly be coming back. They have great service and we were super excited to find authentic Mexican food in MB! read more

El Rey Del Taco - Tacos de Birria - Mexican Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

It's a great place , with Great service and great food, usually have lunch from here once a week .

Amazing authentic food priced just right, with generous and wonderful people who make you feel right at home

Warning: You have to pay $3.50 for chips and salsa!! A plain cheese quesadilla is $8, which is high. The Mexican shrimp cocktail is reasonably priced at $12 but barely includes avocado. The food isn't bad, but it isn't special either; it's your typical Mexican restaurant. The atmosphere isn't ideal at all. I expected the bathroom to be sketchy, but surprisingly, it's a high point of the restaurant (clean, nice soap, plenty of toilet paper and paper towels). There are too many fantastic Mexican options in Myrtle to give this restaurant a higher rating. read more

Excellent! I really enjoyed the picadas sencillas and the Al pastor tacos. I frequent this establishment everytime I come to myrtle beach. The customer service is good as well. It is an establishment where you get quality food for a good price. They could increase their prices and I would not mind paying. It is that goooood! read more

Great tacos, friendly staff, and quick service. Didn't have a complex menu keeping it authentic.

So sad we found this restaurant on the last day of our vacation! It was awesome! This Mexican restaurant is authentic, and exactly what we were looking for! We had the fish and Barbacoa tacos! Both amazing and perfectly cooked! The salsas were spicy and complimented the tacos perfectly! The cheese dip app was also one of the best I have had! Do not shy away from this place because of its authenticity! You will not be disappointed! read more

If you're looking for authentic homemade Mexican food this is definitely the place. Not only are the tortillas handmade and are homemade. They taste so fresh and so late but I'm totally in love. The Carna Asada tacos are amazing. The beans and rice are super delicious and are everything you want and authentic Mexican meal. I will definitely be coming back and trying everything on the menu. read more

El Rey Del Taco - She give me this water with this little roach n she trynna blame me that i put the roach in the water..just disgusting never again - Mexican Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Tacos and carne asada and quesadilla were best we've had. We came from the southwest and were upset to no find a Mexican food joint. There were of course the large brick and mortar but we are accustomed to the recipes that are found in someone's grandmas kitchen and it didn't disappoint. Forgot to snap some photos of the food but try the Serrano sauce you will thank us late. read more

Coming from California and a having an amazing population of Hispanics also taco trucks as much as gas stations around us this place is a hit. I order the asada plate. The asada was perfectly cooked. It came with rice and beans that was good. They threw in some shredded lettuce that could've had more pizazz to it like a pico styled. Last had avocados, jalapeños, onions & radish for a great finish with what tasted like, homemade tortillas. Green sauce was great with flavor and red sauce was great for spice. Personal wasn't too spicy for me but to be fair I eat Thai chilis, raw jalapeños and other spices on a regular. Solid place that taste homemade. I'd definitely chose this spot if I ever come around town again. read more

Yummy tacossss! so soooo goood! My family and I love coming here and always go back. the prices are good and the food is great :)

First off, if you're looking for a great authentic Mexican taco, you'll find that here. Hands down best chicken and carne asada tacos ever. Now for the bad. First off, the service was atrocious. The waitress never checked on us and we had to flag her down to get a water refill. Second, the food was ridiculously overpriced and the servings were nothing. One taco was literally three bites of food. No sides whatsoever. You also get no complimentary chips and salsa, but we did buy them and the chips were stale. We spent a lot of money and left hungry. If you can get past the crappy service, small portions, and overpriced food, then you'll probably enjoy this place, as the food really is good. I hate leaving a 2-Star review when the food (aside from chips) is good, but those other things matter a lot, and I doubt I'll go back there. There are many other authentic Mexican restaurants in the area that I'd go to first. read more

Absolutely the best authentic taco in Myrtle Beach! The El Pastor tacos are the best. It's off the path but worth the trip. read more

This was an awesome place, I'm Mexican and always looking for something that reminds of the food that I grew up with, and this place is as I remember as a kid, it was so good read more

A good hole in the wall place in myrtle beach. We came at around 8:30 pm. Walking in felt a little awkward because it was so silent--no music was like playing, and the tv was on but there was no sound. There was only one server working, at least at the front of the restaurant, and since all the food is made from scratch, it did take awhile to get our food (~30 min). Still worth it. I believe the tacos were about $2-3 each. When we got there, some of the options were sold out! I guess they were busy that day. The tacos were delicious, definitely filled me up! My cousin told me the beef tongue was cooked perfectly--I gotta try it next time! read more

Nothing good about it. My girlfriend and I went here and we shared the beef, chicken, and shrimp Fajitas. It tasted like I was eating tablespoons of salt with every bite. It was so bad we didn't even eat half of it. Also, unlike every other Mexican restaurant, there was not chips and salsa so I ordered some for an additional $3.50. The chips seemed store bought and the pico was very heavy on cilantro. Last thing, I asked for a bud light and she wanted a margarita but the waitress told us that they no longer can serve alcohol. Not sure why but I am pretty sure I can guess. Also, they have a fairly limited menu. Would not recommend. read more

Delicious food.... I eat hear often!!!! Love it! Very flavorful and fresh ever time I order

I love authentic Mexican food. I eat it often at home. So when we came to Myrtle Beach we wanted to find a good Mexican restaurant. The reviews led us here to El Rey Del Taco. We pulled up and we're nervous to go in as there was only one sign on and one car in the lot. However, we went in and were told to sit anywhere. We sat and looked over the menu that was all in Spanish which was slightly annoying ( I don't speak Spanish unfortunately so I couldn't read the menu. Maybe put English translations on it as well?). We ordered and I asked for no cilantro or onions. The food came out quickly but the positive-ish experience ended there. My food was horrible. I honestly got through half of a taco and felt like vomiting. I ordered beef tacos and they left the cilantro and onion on them. The beef was extremely tough and hard to chew. There was zero flavor to anything even with hot sauce. I ate half of my first taco and gave the rest to my boyfriend. We had to wait 20+ minutes for our check which was irritating as well as we were the only people there. Giving 2 stars because the food came fast and my boyfriend really enjoyed his Chorizo tacos ( though even he agreed he's had better elsewhere). Prices are also pretty low. read more

They are located near the strip . Amazing food ! We will be back ! Friendly family owned business.

Just pulled into this little place and I must say was very surprised at how authentic this place is. Pulled in for some tacos and wow. I judge all places on how authentic the rice is perfect rice and everything else they served. I ordered the chilaquiles with asada beans and rice. Perfect totally recommend if you know Salish food and enjoy real Mexican not textmex. read more

Amazing!!! We were on vacation and the husband found this place. The rice, salsa, quesadilla, you name it, was amazing. We were so happy to find this place. Thank you for the amazing food and friendly service. read more

Pros: tacos were ok and the water was good Cons: the quesadillas were probably the worst that I have ever had, I had to load it with salsa in order to cover the taste. The salsa is definitely bought at a supermarket. read more

The waiter was a little mean she did not do her job correctly she had a attitude they took HALF AN HOURS for our food they do take a long time the food had no taste into it read more

If you know what authentic is you will love this little taco place! Nothing fancy just good!

Very good tacos. We went in for a late lunch, I had a beef, a shrimp, and a chicken taco. I was able to get the onions and Pico on the side, that's a big plus for me. The red sauce is very spicy but also very good. It's nice to have another good place walking distance from home. read more
