    Baha and Don'tCry4Me
    Andrew G.

    I was not impressed. I ordered the Baja Fish taco and the Don'tCry4me taco. The Baja fish was supposed to have "crisp cabbage slaw" and citrus mayo. The only thing inside the stale taco was a few small pieces of fish and the mayo. The Don'tCry4Me is supposed to have "marinated grilled steak with onions, pico, fresh chopped cilantro, and squeeze of lime". As you can see from the picture, it only contained a greasy mixture of minimal meat and what I took to be grilled onions. You'll be much better off heading over to Concourse B for the Pavilion Bar and Grill.

    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.

    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.

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

    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 :)

    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

    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.

    They charged $1.25 to add "fresh jalapeños" to our burrito and instead we got a teaspoon of canned pickled junk.

    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!

    2026 - I believe this place is under new management, but the food is still great. It's one of the…read morefew places in the area that I consistently get great food.
