Ordered the fish taco, food was good! It was a little bit spicy but the we enjoyed the food. We came in ordered and ended up getting it to go. Yes it's a "bar" but the loudest people were the kids. It was off putting to have kids that were yelling and banging on the medal wall decorations and worse that the parents didn't do anything. But it made the experience for other guests uncomfortable. Service was ok not outstanding. Go for the food, take it to go, and if you have kiddos remember you are not alone in this world.... read more

I got two tacos and turned it into a platter. The veg head and the bang bang shrimp tacos were great. I got veggies and beans on the side. The meal was about $13 so not bad. They also had house margaritas for $4. The bartender was serving also. They have an array of hot sauces to choose from. The only thing that I didn't like was the bathroom. You have to go outside to use it. We come here every year. Service is consistent. read more

Food and drink were great. Atmosphere was great for all ages. The only drawback was a small place.

Rice was not cooked. Almost broke my tooth. Margarita was bland and glass sticky/dirty. Food was marginal. Shoes stuck to bathroom floor

I ordered the good stuff quesadilla. As you can see in the one close up picture I took, it was flooded with oil. It was the oiliest quesadilla I've ever had in my life. There was a lack of spices on the meat as well. It tasted like oily bland meat on a tortilla. Unfortunately the taste just wasn't there. read more

The outside is cute and inviting. With the bright colors from ousdie to the tables and chairs, it makes you drawn to this place. Sadly, that is about where it ends. Margaritas were well balanced and good. The food is not so much . Chili tasted like it was old and can from a can. It was in big globs like it was scooped cold. The staff was friendly, fast, and efficient. But I wouldn't come here again for the food. Stick to the drinks, you'll thank me later. read more

Nacho Hippo - Mexican Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

So cute!! So many great menu options. If you are in the Myrtle Beach area and looking for a cute place to sit down and enjoy a few drinks and appetizers, look no further! Doesn't break the budget either. I went with 3 others and we ordered a few different tapas and appetizers to share amongst ourselves. We loved everything we ordered! So much flavor. We ordered a few drinks. Pretty good bang for your buck. I visited in September at night when weather was most ideal. Cool 70s so the outdoor walls were open to air and we enjoyed the beautiful sunset. read more

my husband has an ada certified service dog, the hostess asked if the dog was a service dog we said yes, as she is going to seat us a waitress tells the hostess dogs have to be seated outside, she replied it's a service dog, fine if you're gonna get your panties in a bunch not worth causing a scene we'll sit outside, said waitress ended us being our waitress and when she came to the table I told her the dog is a real service dog, she said well we seat all dogs outside. then when paying we had a $5 off coupon from the local coupon books, when I got the check I asked to see it she wouldn't let me see it untl I told her how I was paying, I then said I gave you a $5 off coupon and you only took 4.20 off, she said I couldn't get the coupon to work so that what we took off. umm are you kidding me!!!! train your people! service was a joke. Not somewhere to go if you have a service dog read more

A cute, kitschy, and lively restaurant with good service. We enjoyed the nachos, a taco and burrito bowl. All were good, but the best feature of this place is the service. It is fast, friendly and gracious. We were given recommendations for other places in the area, as well as topping off our water cups and adding lids so we could take them to go. Great place for a casual meal! read more

Food was good here. Atmosphere was good as were the acoustics. If you like Mexican, I'd recommend this place.

We ate an early dinner, each of us had a different nacho meal. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered and all four of us ordered a different item. They also brought us salsa and chips as a kind of free appetizer. It was nice that it was free but could have passed. It had recently rained and as a result a number of flies had gotten into the open air eating area. Without these visitors I would have given them a fifth star. read more

Fun place ! Drinks were really good. Food was ok if you like mostly Navi stuff. Have been to better Mexican. Waited 45 min after check in. Said 30 min wait, went to ask how much longer and she couldn't find my name or number even though j got a welcome text from them! read more

This was soooo good.. everything here is amazing, drinks, food, vibe, service, ambience, etc Portion size is big so definitely worth the $$. Taco sizes are not mini, they are bigger in the full sized tortilla so for ppl like me one is good enough. This is high on my list to come back again in barefoot landing/myrtle beach area. We ordered the mango martini, corona margarita and salsa sampler to begin with.. the margarita was HUGE, we should have stuck with just 1 to be shared in 2 ppl but mango martini was perfect as well.. for our entrees I took the special banging shrimp on hard boat sized tacos, and also took Baja fish taco and a Thai chicken taco for the husband who says loved the Baja fish one more than the chicken but both were amazing.. EVERYTHING was perfect read more

This is and has been for years one of my absolute favorite places to eat while at the beach! I am extremely sad they have gotten ride of the fried green tomato tacos but still lots a fantastic options!! This trip we got the Bangin' Shrimp nachos to share and then I also got two different tacos as well! The Love You Long Time taco has cashews on it and they elevated the taco so much! I wanted more!! SO good all of it was perfect! read more

We decided to give this a try bc I love nachos. The atmosphere is very laid back, like the sister company River City Cafe. The server was good and very friendly. The food was amazing and you get a lot for your money! There were many options on the menu. It was hard to decide. We went with these and were not disappointed it was very good and there were a lot of toppings. When we visit again we will go back! read more

Nacho Hippo - BBQ'd Oinker - Slow-roasted pork, chipotle BBQ sauce, cheese, queso, corn, black beans, and pico de gallo. $12 or $18 for shareable - Mexican Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Overall, this place was okay. The food was luke warm, and it didn't taste super fresh. The waiters and waitresses were okay, and there was a hair at our table. One thing that I could compliment this place on, has got to be the way the place looked. I do have to say, it really felt like you were in the heart of Mexico. There were many decorations that brought the place to life. I do have to say, one thing that I would get if I were to go back to this location, would be their tacos. Their gringo tacos were spectacular! But at the same time, how could the tacos be the best thing on the menu when you literally have the word Nacho in your business name? Personally, I would not go back to this place. It could just be my personal experience, but it was not that great of a place in my opinion. read more

Nacho Hippo - Nachos and Hippopunchamos - Mexican Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

A lot of pros and cons to this place. It's a fun beach/surfer-themed atmosphere, but it's also a covered convertible "outdoor" space, so you'll be fighting off the flies even when eating inside. The sloppy burrito was mostly good, but was surprisingly not sloppy (and dry) inside, including a few hard bits of rice and tortilla. My wife really enjoyed the Taco Platter with the shrimp tacos being the best. The Taco Salad was also a huge hit. Unlike most Mexican restaurants, the chips and salsa/dips are not included. While normally that's fine, we ran out of dip before we ran out of chips. What we did get was very tasty albeit stingy. The drinks were the biggest disappointment and very much on the weak side, even their large bucket offering, and we might as well have been ordering sodas/juice drinks. read more

Nice size personal nachos. Food was good, service was even better, and the price was very reasonable. We will go again!

We have loved nacho hippo ever since our first Myrtle trip 12 years ago. We stopped in for lunch today and were met with a new very limited menu. Our former favorite the bleep hole nachos are gone, same thing with the Mexican street corn on the cob which is now served as a cold dip. What we did order was so bland. Sad but will be our last trip for sure. read more

First time visit. Great food great service! We will definitely go back. We've told everyone they need to try it.

Two stars and only because our server was very professional and nice. Food was not good. Just not good. Moe's has better quality food. Seriously. The nachos were cold - so cold that the ground beef was stuck together in chunks. Fajitas were also luke warm and not sizzling at all. Not worth $50 for two waters, chips and queso and two awful meals. read more

Pretty basic and the drinks were really watered down. Wouldn't wait an hour again to eat here. read more

Nacho Hippo - BBQ Chicken Tacos - Mexican Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

We used to love going here. It was always our first stop when we got to the beach. Honestly, ill probably never go back. The menu is different than i remembered it and everything we had was super bland. My go to meal is no longer an option. I paid $15 for nachos with probably a teaspoon of queso on them. We requested more and when it came it was really watery and not good. It also smelled really bad in the restaurant and looked very messy. read more

Recommended by a few different people, we decided to have dinner to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Food was excellent! Nachos, shrimp tacos, and chimichanga were all outstanding. Queso is really good, but not very spicy. We also got some bucket drinks. The Hippopunch was delish. The Ocean Potion, eh not so much. We were disappointed at the selection of logoed merch. There was not much to choose from. read more

Great food & casual atmosphere, reasonable prices. Service was fast - "Shane" was an excellent server - very friendly & personable! Expect a wait because it's usually busy but there's live music in the evening to keep you occupied and it's worth the wait read more

First time going to this location of Nacho Hippo and it's so cute! It has a tiki vibe with a bar surrounded by regular tables, high top tables, and also some outdoor seating. It's very colorful and fun, and we ordered the shareable nachos for the three of us. It's huge!! We got the bbq nachos and they were amazing. Crispy chips loaded with bbq pork, drizzle of sauce, queso, and plenty of black beans and corn on top. We also got an order of the holey guacamole to go with it. Also delicious. To drink, two of us shared the bucket mangorita. It was tasty but we would have preferred just a plain margarita option. Drinking out of a bucket is a novelty and fun on vacation but you don't get the salted rim which we prefer with a margarita. Overall we had a great visit - our server was attentive, the food was delicious, and the ambience fun. We'll definitely come back! read more

Food is a secondary consideration. Selling beer and big vats of booze is. Obviously this is a tourist place and I am a tourist. That does not mean that the business should have zero concern for product, quality or service. All of those were poor here. The food was garbage, and a server that slings food and can't speak to the patrons - unacceptable. I will not be back. read more

Service was great, however, the food was very disappointing. The queso was water thin - more dripped on the table and our clothes versus in our mouths. My wife's salad with chicken and my meal (chimichanga) was so salty we couldn't finish it. We like to try new places when we travel and unfortunately won't be going to the hippo again. read more

A very attractive place inside and out. The service was excellent and we enjoyed the live music. I gave it three stars for the quality the food. My wife didn't care for the rice and the taco salad I ate was below average. They don't offer complimentary chips and salsa either. But if you're looking for a place to have drinks and listen to live music, this will do just fine. read more

Don't let the responses fool you. While it shows a response, which is run by a 3rd party, I have yet to hear anything from the manager or restaurant in general... and just to be clear I am the person who was SERVED ROACH PIECES IN MY MARGARITA. read more

Great food as always - large portions and delicious taste. Restaurant was obviously understaffed but our waiter, Jamie, did a phenomenal job with keeping us happy during the meal. Nacho Hippo is always a must eat during our visits to NMB. The welcoming and encounters with the manager (aka the rude rule police) throughout the evening were undesirable - he could use some customer service classes. The check-in process with the manager almost had us considering another restaurant because of his inappropriate demeanor - luckily our table time interactions with Jamie made up for it! read more

We are in Myrtle Beach for the night and wanted to eat out so we decided on Italian... On the way there our daughter noticed the Nacho Hippo and looked it up... Tex-Mex... Okay, sounds great so we stopped in... Somewhat of a hipster vibe going on and and it's mostly a bar joint vs actual sit down restaurant ... We seated very quickly and Lorrie asked for our drink orders... My wife and daughter asked if they had a Texas Margarita... Huh? Whoops, wrong place, this is a chain and we realized it quickly... Okay, they will try the margarita with extras... I ordered the salsa sampler that came with a fire roasted salsa, guacamole, and queso... The margaritas and chipset came out pretty quickly so we placed our food order in for steak fajitas and chicken fajitas... Whilst my wife was tasting her Rita, she is like, what so "special" about this Rita? Just lime flavored ice, she got a shot of tequila to add, she could now taste the Rita in the Rita... Food is here!! Daughter's chicken was hot and she loves it, our steak... not so much, came out just under "warm" like it sat at the pass too long... Didn't have the black beans with it either... Lorrie was very sweet and passed it to her manager... plate was redone and came out hot and with the beans this time... Steak was obviously from a box or bag but it was edible... Rice was some sort of mexi-rice but with a lot of pepper like table pepper, again, obviously bag-o-rice... So this a chain restaurant and most known for their nachos and bar life... Not recommended for a restaurant if that's what you're looking for... read more

When we moved to North Myrtle Beach we knew there were so many good places to eat that it was unlikely we'd ever get around to trying them all. But several have become our favorites The Nacho Hippo in North Myrtle quickly became a favorite. The food is great, the atmosphere is inviting and the service has always been excellent. Our last trip a couple days ago, our server was Mark C and he didn't disappoint. He was attentive, informative and pleasantly amusing. I watched as he managed several tables in what seemed a continuous demand but he never lost that charm. As for the food, we've become addicted to the quesadillas (mine is always blacked shrimp) but there are plenty of great options on the menu. So if your looking for a great little pace to try out, you won't go wrong with this one. It's worth the effort. read more

This is a solid dining choice in NMB. There is always a wait, like at any time of day. I prefer to come here at night after the crowds. Margaritas and tacos are great! I wish you got complimentary chips and salsa, but hey, I get that that's an added expense. You get better service at the bar; bartenders are always friendly and have a fun energy. It's kinda like an open air restaurant with screen-type coverings on the walls. read more

First time at nacho hippo. Loved that all the seating is out side.....service was alright. Had to wait for awhile to get a seat. Not your typical Mexican restaurant. Very Americanized and more on the pricey side. Typically one gets served tortilla chips while waiting for their food to be prepared. Nacho hippo charges for their chips, however don't tell you that until you get your check....4 baskets later. Service was okay, however lacked in getting refill drinks and when asked for a refill the waiter acted as though it was an inconvenience. Not impressed with the menu and the prices. Def a tourist trap restaurant that will leave you hungry and a hole in your wallet. read more

My family and I were in the Myrtle Beach area for a mini-vacation. Knowing that the wife loves Mexican food and looking for a place that is off the beaten path, this location came up on Yelp as a contender. I looked at the reviews, which seemed decent, so I figured that I would pay it a visit. On arrival, I thought that it was a cool looking place with all of the neat things to look at and the entrance looking like a marketplace in Mexico. As I walked up to the hostess stand, I could see four employees sitting and standing while talking with one being on her phone. As I stood there, I watched them all look at me and then immediately walk away with a female employee that I could not see because she was sitting down behind all of these other employees. She then looked at me and asked if she could help me, and I said a table for five please with her walking us into one of the longer tables and seeing us with our menus. She then stated our wait staff would be over shortly, so we began perusing the menu. I looked around the restaurant and can see four other tables occupied and wait staff attending to them. As we were discussing what we were going to eat, a larger table was sat two tables away. After several minutes of reviewing the menu, we came to a consensus as to what we were going to eat. I then looked at my watch and noticed that we had already been there about 9 minutes with no acknowledgment from any other staff. Several times during this time, several staff members passed us but never said anything to us. We continued to look at the menu, feeling that there must be shift change or something else going on, and as we were doing so, two other tables were sat. After this occurred I looked towards the hostess stand and noticed there was a younger male standing there looking at me and when he could see that I appeared like we were ready to order yet no one was there , he then began to look at the table chart on the podium . Once these two tables were sat, I noticed a waiter go to the larger table that was sat after us and two other wait staff go to the other two tables seeing that I obviously was not going to have a waiter and the fact that everyone else was getting served but my table I immediately searched out a gentleman who looked like a manager. He immediately apologized, stating that it was a situation where an employee didn't show up for work, and that caused the error. He then took our drink order and left. Not long after, Leanne came over stating that she was now going to be our waitress ( observing that she was one of the ones who passed our table several times without acknowledgment). She then took our order and left returning with the drinks as well as some chips with queso. Not understanding that this was something they gave us for the hassle, my assumption was that it must have been something they provided prior to the meal. Because of this, I requested another since I felt it might be a while before we receive our meal. Leanne stated no problem and went and retrieved us another one. When the food came, the same gentleman I spoke to earlier came by saving again he was sorry and would take care of the chips and queso which now made me understand that he had provided that as a consolation prize. When my bill came he did Cover the first one and I paid for the second one. Well this visit was very disappointing the only good thing about it was the fact that the food was very tasteful and presented well. When did a good job after the fact but it is always going to be totally unacceptable to sit in a place for 15 plus minutes without anyone acknowledging you and the same group of people that were fleeing when I showed up with my family from the hostess podium we're all the ones attending to the other tables who came in after us. I would definitely give them another try for the food but will definitely not waste that much time if they don't want to serve me. read more

Food was good. Price was ridiculous. Someone stole my sunglasses and not one staff member gave a shit to look into it.
