    Flying out with the twins.

    6:30 am - time for a beer. Preflight. This is always a great spot for a drink and a little something to eat. Staff is always friendly.

    Shroom quesadilla

    Awesome food and bar area! Service was pretty good, especially for being busy. The chicken sandwich was delicious!

    Vegetarian quesadilla (I forget the real name, something with mushrooms? Idk)

    Airport food is usually it's own experience, but I can always look forward to the MYR nacho hippo when I get there too early and have 2 hours to padiddle. They are respectful of your time and check in often in case you need to run, but also understanding if you have time to kill and need somewhere to sit for an hour (if you buy something obvi) Here I only got the quesadilla, which was bomb ofc, but as a local I've gotten the hippo many o times and can verify that everything is good. Good margs too! And TV's if you're into that kinda thing ;) ofc prices are higher bc you're eating in an airport people, cmon.

    A good 4 stars. We stopped here on Friday around 2pm prior to our 4:30pm flight and were promptly seated. My husband got a beer and I had the spicy margarita. Actually I got two of those because they were so delicious and definitely were going to help me cope with our two children on that plane ride, haha. We started with the holy guacamole, it was alright. I had the shredded chicken/cheese quesadilla which arrived piping hot. I think due to it being so hot, the moisture caused the underside to get really soggy and difficult to pick up to eat, but it was flavorful. My husband enjoyed his burrito, our little one devoured his cheeseburger and our oldest liked his chicken fingers. I asked our waitress for a few of their signature plastic cups (because I collected them from our last trip years ago and I wanted a new stash). She brought me a few wet/recently washed cups. I didn't realize these were reusable items within the restaurant, I thought they were a one and done for customers.

    Bangin Shrimp Taco

    One of the more colorful food options at Myrtle Beach Airport in South Carolina! They have a really creative and fun array of Mexican dishes. Due to a time crunch I only got to try a couple of tacos but this is one of those places I'd come back to when traveling to try more options! Service was good, food was ok for airport food. Bangin' Shrimp Taco 6/10: I mean it wasn't bad, especially for airport food. But it's a hard sell to want to order again. Chicken Taco 7/10: Solid, basic taco :)

    Nachos and a margarita.(online images)

    I loved Nacho Hippo cantina maximo. Whenever I fly out of MYR I always get somthng to snack on here. The service at the bar and in the dining room has always been great. The ambiance is classy but rustic. If you are in myrtle beach airport and deciding if you should go to nacho hippo or any other restaurant at myr, I recommend nqcho hippo for great mexican cuisine!!

    DO NOT COME HERE or any branch. The food is so shit, and so is the service. They messed up our order of nachos not just once but twice and took over 30 mins to bring it out and the place is empty. They guac for the price they were charging me for a small ass container was $6. The chicken smelled and so did the guac. This restaurant needs to step up because it is unacceptable. It's all veggies how does the food smell this bad. Never again! Save your money

    Mushroom quesadilla
    Diana D.

    I don't typically review airport food, but this place had some pretty good food. We ordered a mushroom quesadilla and a wet burrito. Both were great. I particularly liked the quesadilla, a great option for vegetarians. We didn't order any drinks. The servers were friendly.

    BYO NACHOS (added steak)

    I had a right nice time at the restaurant thanks to my server, whose name I can't recall unfortunately. I got a pretty mildly strong drink and nachos which always makes me happy.

    WHY THERES 3 STARS WHEN SHOULD BE 1.5 is: Gunner Johnston- (the only reason for such high stars) he is a 15 year old young man that has INCREDIBLE work ethic!!! While I'm shocked he's working at this young of an age, he was SO POLITE, humble and genuine. This business made a wise choice hiring this man. My experience was only positive because he was here. He's humble. He's hardworking and he promptly brought my Request for a dipping sauce. Miranda, friendly, placed my margarita order (somewhat reluctantly) because she wasn't my server but did assist despite not being my server. My server had bright red hair (believe her name was Jessica F according to my receipt) she got the job done. Nothing special about her. She got the job done but wasn't interested in being interpersonal (and there was less than 10 people at the bar). Could literally care less about how things came out which was disappointing. (Would've liked some Buffalo sauce for my "kickin Cauliflower appetizer".) Now, the food: ----"Veg head taco" 10/10 (ordered hard shell) ----"Buffalicious taco" 6.5/10 (ordered hard shell) ----"Kickin Cauliflower appetizer"-- 2/10 pretty terrible. No Buffalo sauce offered which seems to be something you should get with "kickin" in the title, just heavily breaded cauliflower. The blue cheese sauce does NOT have blue cheese crumbles, it's plain liquidity dressing. Also, should note last call for alcohol is 8:45, last call for food is 9. It's 8:57pm and I've had 1 appetizer, 2 tacos, 2 margaritas and ZERO notifications of any last call for food or beverage (I would've ordered dessert to go). I have a huge sweet tooth so would've enjoyed that to go dessert. Guess I'll be very early to my boarding flights gate.

    This has quickly become one of our favorites in Myrtle beach. The atmosphere is amazing, service is…read morefriendly, prices are good, and food is delicious. So they do get 5 stars in my book... However, now that we've gone multiple times i can confidently say it is rather inconsistent. Sometimes your burrito is swimming in an amazing cover of cheese and sometimes is a little more than a drizzle. This latest time something must have been a little off because my tried and true Al Pastor burrito came with 95% rice inside... I don't think I saw any beans and only a few pieces of meat. Again - this is not the norm and my great experiences outweighed this last visit, but consistency in the long run will be important. I'd also agree with the reviews saying they like to charge for upsells and they are pretty good at pushing them. I love their house hot sauce but paying a dollar for hot sauce at a Mexican restaurant seems a bit absurd... Overall worth a try and we will continue coming back but there is some fine tuning for management!

    I've been here for happy hour a couple times now and both times its been relatively bustling…read more 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.

    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!
