    Stopped in since my flight was delayed and has some tacos al la carte. The Banin' Shrimp was my favorite although the Don't Cry4 Me (grill steak) and Kahuna (teriyaki chicken) were both also very good and flavorful. Service was a little slower that I expected but still good for being busy, and dine in atmosphere unique and nice. Overall, I had a good experience.

    Nacho Hippo is in Market Common nestled directly next to PF Chang. It's a nice little vibey joint for a quick margarita and a taco or two. You can sit inside or outside or even at the bar. Wait staff is super friendly and service is pretty quick. Not a bad stop for a little hangout or some quick bites.

    Nacho hippo is really wonderful. They have the best margaritas around. We decided to share the queso dip with beef added. Time to order dinner. Two tacos for me with beef and all the way. He had the yard pimps. Fried wontons all the way. If you see me there, stop by and say hello.

    Highly recommend visiting. Me and my family absolutely loved everything about this place. The staff is so friendly! The food was AMAZING! Easily one of the best meals we had while visiting Myrtle beach. The atmosphere is great, such a laid back environment. It's in a great location too!

    Not sure if I was always one of my favorite places to go when I'm in Myrtle Beach. The food there is always great. And they always have great cocktails at the bar. The last time we went, the service was not up to par. It took us a little while to get someone to take our order, but we are OK with that because our drinks came pretty quick. The only issue I really had was that it was so hot outside that the drinks were sweating really bad on the tables. Our table was a little offset and crooked, so my water sweated itself right off the table into the floor. When one of the girls came over to help clean it up, I apologize for making a mess and helped to pick up some of the glass. She made a comment something to the effective well maybe if you hadn't had so many of those (pointing at my cocktail) this wouldn't have happened. I was a little put off for this, and it actually was my first drink. I started to say something to the manager, but decided not to because maybe she was just having a bad day and took it out on me. This is the first time I've ever had any complaint at nacho hippo I love the food there and the drinks are always cold and refreshing.

    Great place for dinner and drinks! Good selection to choose from. Generous portions and fair prices. Highly recommend checking out if you're in the area. This location has a fee parking garage next to the entrance. Was at N. Myrtle location last time we were here almost 5 years ago and it was delicious!

    It was so nice to return to this place and I had forgotten how much I liked it. The flavors here surprise and delight me and I loved everything we had. We were so hungry and forgot to take pics on this visit. We got the bang bang shrimp appetizer that is served in the tortilla cups. It was one of the best things I have ever tasted honestly. I also got two tacos, one with seared tuna, and one vegetarian. They were absolutely amazing. Fresh, flavorful, delicious. I could eat here every day. We had a great time, great service, amazing decor, easy parking nearby in the garage. We will be back! Miss you already Nacho Hippo!

    The building has great curb appeal! Bright lights, ample outdoor seating, and a wonderful ambiance! Inside it is just as nice and vibrant. Margarita special-wasn't so special...$7-16 ounce house drink. Or you could do the original NON special-32 ounce for $12....so the special really wasn't a thing...also very basic margarita: mix, tons of ice, and very little tequila. Service was poor. Our waitress was missing most of the time...so that was lovely... Food was better than the service! Still a solid 3 for food. Tex-Mex and typical tastes. The rice was good, and nachos are a step up from Taco Bell's Nacho's Bell Grande... so take this one as you will.

    In Myrtle Beach for vacation, yes, even during Hurricane Debby. And yes, it has rained buckets. But this place is situated in mixed use area called the Market Common. It has plenty of restaurants, a bowling alley, a movie theater, and shops. This is a great Mexican food establishment not too big and not too small. There are many options, including vegan options with a variety of margaritas , beer, and a small selection of wine. The service from start to finish was nice and not atmosphere.

    At Myrtle Beach on vacay, my wife and I were in the mood for Mexican (more Tex Mex) fare and Nacho Hippo looked interesting. As our custom, we went for early dinner. The place was packed! But we only had to wait about 15 minutes. Monica brought us menus, which we had already been looking over. My wife got the Sloppy Burrito with chicken. I decided to try their special Hipponachomus Nachos, personal size. We started off with Tortilla chips and Queso dip. I also asked for hot salsa, extra cost. Turned out to be Mango Habanero and a bit sweet. Didn't think I would like it but I did! Our food came and servings were huge. My wife loved her (usual) burrito. Our chips and dips were also great. My Nachos? Shazam! A huge pile of chips with Chili, Chicken, Taco Meat, two cheeses, lettuce and Pico de Gallo. It was really great. And so much I had to take a third back to resort. Many more cars arriving as we were leaving and headed to inside and outside seating. Food was great, service excellent, ambiance a bit noisy. The inside dining looked small in comparison with the huge buildings.

    Friendly wait staff. Free chips and salsa on Valentines Day. I tried the salad with beef served in a tortilla shell. Very delicious!

    Is the patio dog friendly?

    As much as we love animals, our restaurant is not equipped with the necessary features for DHEC to rate us as "pet friendly". However, we would never deny someone their service animal.

    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!

    We stopped here to grab breakfast. This is a small hole in the wall restaurant with a very nice and…read morefriendly staff. We started with some Mexican coffee and sweet bread. The coffee was amazing and went very well with the bread. For breakfast, we got the huevos rancheros and a breakfast burrito. The huevos rancheros was perfect. The breakfast burrito was good as well but could have used a lot more papas (potatoes) instead of a hashbrown patty, so that was slightly disappointing. Nevertheless, this is a great place, and we would definitely stop by again.
