We came here on a girls trip. We loved the atmosphere as soon as we walked in. It's a little off the strip and definitely worth the few extra blocks. The staff gave us mustaches and that set the mood for an evening of laughs. Chef Cary came out to say hello and brought us a round of shots just because he's that awesome. Most importantly, the food was amazing!!! Fresh and made in house, the old school chicken burrito was out of this world. We laughed all through dinner and can't wait to come back to Myrtle and Sun City! Five stars all around. Definitely a must do for visitors to Myrtle Beach!! read more

Sun City Cafe - Mexican Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

I would like to start off by saying I have been in the foodservice business for over 20 years. My family and I just eat here and it was one of the most god awful meals we have had. My wife and I shared a pitch of Margaritas and we all shared a small queso cheese dip. My wife had the chicken and spinach Burrito, I had the chicken and spinach quesadilla, our 15yr old boy had fish tacos and our 12yr old girl had a cheese quesadilla. Our two littlest girls (5 and 8 yr old) had chicken tacos-we asked to split their dish and the server was almost reluctant to do so since they do not split dishes. Sooo where do I start... the menu said everything is made "fresh". Our Margarita tasted like it was made from Kool-Aid lemonade dry mix, the "queso dip" was used with block American cheese, the salsa was tomatoes from a can-the only thing fresh was the added cilantro. The chicken everyone had was totally dry and the quesadillas and burrito were smothered with more block American cheese. The total cost of our "dinner" was $112 bucks. Please do not misunderstand, I am willing to pay for good food any day of the week but this was far from being anything good. So if you are into expensive cafeteria food, this is your place.

Sun City Cafe - Nasty - Mexican Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Another great hole-in-the-wall find thanks to Yelp! Start off with a couple of the best margaritas I've ever had, plus guacamole so fresh YOU MIX IT YOURSELF, and you're on your way to a great Tex-Mex meal. I was nervous about the potato burrito, but since it was the only veg meal on the menu, I went for it. It was delicious! You get so much food that sharing would be a viable option, especially if you had drinks and an appetizer. Check this place out-such a far cry from all of the "restaurant row" spots in Myrtle Beach. read more

Wonderful!! We had a party of 8 and the owner was very accommodating and so happy to have us. The salsa is made fresh every day and so are the chips. We couldn't get enough of the chips and salsa! Order the guacamole - it is so fresh and has a beautiful presentation. I ordered the shrimp and chicken tacos. AWESOME!! Everything from the tortilla to the cheese to the tomato and lettuce and amount of meat was perfect. My favorite was the chicken taco. Very cheesy and warm and a large amount of chicken. Can't forget the margaritas! We got 2 pitchers for 8 people and that was perfect. They were so tasty and we all were given cold mugs with salt and a lime. I cannot wait to go back! read more

Sun City is not your typical Mexican cafe. It has a true local following. Brothers Cary and Brad have been running the cafe since it opened. My favorite is the Fish and Shrimp taco combo or the Sun City Quesadilla. I LOVE the fact that everything is made fresh in the kitchen - no canned salsa, guacamole, or black bean dip at Sun City Cafe. They do have vegetarian plates with special requests made to order. They've been very accommodating to private parties or large "girls night out for margaritas" gatherings. Just call ahead to let them know. read more

Sun City Cafe - Mexican Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Personal business takes me to the Myrtle beach area occasionally. I'm from California, where their Mexican food is native. Always a treat, but you have to ask for the "extra hot sauce" and then still won't be blown away. I think it's more of a "locals joint" than catering exclusively to the tourists. The service may seem casual, but that's just the way they they treat their friends. Most of their customers seem to be greeted by name. They seem almost anxious to sit down with you and share your dinner with you, like a guest in their home, a style of Southern Hospitality you will not get in other restaurants. Small, but I've never seen it overcrowded. They have a full service bar if you are just looking for a drink. read more

Decent food, but only about average for what I had this week. And $77 for two adults and two kids? This place was far, far too expensive for Mexican. $2 sodas with no refills. The cheese dip tasted like someone melted some Velveeta. The waiter told us a story about some people griping about their prices, so apparently we were not the only people that weren't impressed with what you get for your money. Of all the places I ate in Myrtle Beach this week, this was the only one I regret and consider a bad decision. read more

Get away from the chain places and try this place out. It is outstanding. You have never had a meal like this anywhere. Don't let the small home town look deter you from having the best meal of your life. This was my first time, but it won't be the last. Went again on this years vacation still outstanding. You must try the Old School Burrito. read more

We visited yesterday and were not disappointed. Short menu but fresh, delicious food. Super-friendly service, very clean, and a fun atmosphere. We went early for dinner (5:30) and were the only table, so no problem with a wait. The meals are HUGE and a little pricier than I expected, but worth it for such tasty, fresh food on the road. My husband and I had some leftover when we split the vegetarian (burrito) plate. Full disclosure: that was after munching lots of chips, salsa, and guacamole. The margaritas are excellent! My kids enjoyed the experience, but there is no kids' menu and since the plates are so large, feeding them isn't cheap. The burritos are a little too complicated for kids' palates, so maybe quesadillas would be better. read more

Great food, service, atmosphere, etc. we felt welcomed even though we were late to walk through the door and the last table of the night. Food was amazing, though it should be noted the burrito is not one that you'd pick up with your hands. More of a fork and knifer. We will definitely come back each time we are in town. read more

Sun City Cafe - Old school burrito - Mexican Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Cool, eclectic place near the ocean. It was tough to find, as they are apparently anti-sign. Look for the Ethiopian place on the south side of Main Street (501), then look across to the north side of the street for a green awning. Two things to note. 1. The burritos are seriously huge and $16. Splitting one (which we highly encourage) costs an extra charge of $5. Also, a CAN of Coke is $2. Need a refill? That's another $2. It would have been nice to have been told about that when ordering. We would have ordered ice water. There are no table menus, just a big chalkboard. The food was fresh and hot. The chips and salsa were fresh. And, as with any eclectic place, you've got to check out the restroom. :-) read more

Ok, so I am originally from San Fran bay area, I know awesome Mexican food, burritos etc. The moment I walked in it had the ambiance of a location in Berkeley CA. Friendly service, the salsa did seem to have tomatoes from a can, being that I make salsa myself and mine came in 2nd in a NC state salsa competition and have fans of my salsa I know my salsa. But I was not going to bust on the flavor, it worked and was good for eating. We opted for their regular burrito, their menu is on a chalk board on the wall so I did not even notice prices, and we were on vacation so price is not a issue if I get what I feel my money is worth. I have to say the burrito was tasty, but nothing I feel was worth paying 48 bucks for 2 people for. We had a cheese dip and 2 drinks each which you pay for each, no free refills. I expected mine to be additional as it was bottled root beer. Food was ok, server was good, however the price was just way to pricy for something that should only have been 24 to 30 bucks. read more

My friend and I used Yelp to try to navigate some places to eat during a recent visit to Myrtle Beach, and Sun City Cafe came up with rave reviews, so we decided to check it out. While the food is not what you'd call authentic Mexican, it was still the best we'd had during our trip. The guacamole was fresh and addictive, and my tacos were very flavorful, although I'm almost positive that they had American cheese on them. I've also never had a taco with bell peppers in it, but it tasted pretty good, so I'm not complaining. The service was a little on the slow side, but nothing outrageous. If I ever come back to Myrtle Beach, I'll definitely stop in again! read more

Take a burned out hippy, a few top notch recipes and a hideaway and what do you get? Sun City Cafe. One of my top spots along the Grand Strand. This is a small restaurant with lots of flair. Large portions make up for the short menu and the salsa is to die for. My personal favorite is the chicken burrito. It is large enough for three sittings. The one down side has to be the service, It takes forever. But what do you expect from a burned out hippy joint? If you know that going in you are sure to have a great time over a long meal. read more

If Tracey is you bar tender , you got it made! Was in Myrtle just for the weekend, and saw this places ratings on Yelp, and decided to try it out. The atmosphere is pretty awesome, and the staff is very laid back. We decided to sit at the bar, and order a pitcher of Margaritas. They were pretty good, there was a weird tang at the end of each drink, something about a 'secret ingredient.' The chips were pretty good, and the salsa was super chunky. I ended up getting the shrimp and fish tacos. I'd say if I were to order this again I'd just for the fish tacos. They were good, with big hunks of fish in them. The shrimp however were nothing special, they weren't battered or charge, just plain shrimp on a taco. My boyfriend ordered some crazy mess of a burrito, that involves mashed potatoes, grilled chicken and a whole lot of goodness. Let's just say it's even better the morning after you make it home from Tracey's strong margaritas. Overall the experience was good, with dirty jokes exchanged between bartender and guest, to the fake mustaches and sombreros that are at your table to use as you will. Some where out there is photo of me looking ever-so dapper in a sexy mustache. read more

Sun City's food is fresh, fresh, fresh! All the brothers that work here are down home nice fellas that make you feel at home. The drinks are stiff so don't come here playing, because if you have too many you might walk out of this restaurant "On Stumble"! You have to order the Guacamole, it's among the best I have had. Sun City is a must visit spot if you are visiting Myrtle Beach and are looking to have Mexican! read more

Food - 2/2 *What a surprise! The fish tacos were some of the best that I've ever had! Really flavorful. Really rich. Warning- heavier meal than your average one. I loved the food. Price - 0.5/1 *$13 for two tacos is a lot Service - 1/1 *Our waitress was helpful, fun and friendly! Great service. Atmosphere - 1/1 *Fun, eclectic, not your average Myrtle Beach spot. Odd metal chairs but a small fun atmosphere. We are really early and it was empty but apparently it gets busier with the locals around 7. I spend a lot of time in Myrtle Beach and am always in search of a good local spot. This is what I have been looking for! I really loved it. Get the fish tacos! read more

I almost hesitate to give the place 5 stars only because I am afraid it will get so popular I won't be able to get a table! Very small seating area but the food is maybe the most unique and tasty mexican I've ever eaten. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. The burrito with chicken was great as others mentioned with the mashed potatoes inside. My wife and others at the table had assortment of tacos and everyone enjoyed it. We started out with the guac and it too was fresh and very tasty. The place is hard to find, but once you do the eclectic nature inside will keep you coming back. I can't wait for my next trip! read more

Great place. Out of sight of the tourists, you have to be looking for it to find it. And totally worth the effort. I WILL be back! read more

Sun City Cafe - The fresh guacamole - Mexican Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Tried to find a Mexican restaurant on our anniversary trip and discovered this place on accident! Everything was absolutely delicious and fresh! My husband got the chicken burrito (which was HUGE) and I got the chicken taco (also HUGE). The staff was incredibly friendly and personable. Would recommend to anyone! Go hungry! read more

This place is amazing! I don't know what restaurant Louis P was eating at but it certainly was not Sun City Cafe. Their food is unbelievably fresh and extremely good. The menu is just a chalkboard that's on the wall but I think that's a good thing. They did have a limited menu but everything on there is fantastic! Why have a lengthy, mediocre menu when you can have one where everything is awesome? Their wait staff is very attentive and very friendly. Made me feel right at home. If you're in Myrtle Beach then you definitely need to check this place out. read more

Excellent! Guacamole, fish tacos, cheese quesadilla all wonderful. Friendly service too. read more

Sun City Cafe - Guacamole - Mexican Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Excellent Tex-Mex. Unique and fresh. Not like your average neighborhood Mexican joint (nothing wrong with those places this is just fresher). You can taste the difference in the margaritas and the food too. HUGE portions. Plan to take a box home for lunch the next day! Oh, and very friendly staff/owners! read more

Best food in Myrtle Beach! They offer nothing but fresh everything & I have never had a cheese dip like this place has! Atmosphere is awesome & staff is exceptional! read more

Could not have been more impressed with this cute little restaurant! Not only was the food absolutely incredible, the service we received was even better. The owner came out and spoke with us, and our server was outstanding. I had the new school burrito as my entree, and of course the cheese dip for an appetizer... it was 10,000 times better than your average Mexican restaurant! Must have! You have got to check this place out!! :) Yummy! We will be back to this place on our yearly trips to Myrtle Beach. read more

9.1/10. Highest rated place in this area to date. The guacamole here is elite. All the meat here is juicy and flavorful. Cannot go wrong with any dish on the menu. Quesadilla is in a league of its own. Only negative is there is too much cheese sauce on some of the food. That being said the cheese sauce is delicious, but beware as it is very heavy and could catch up to you later. read more

The best mexican food I have ever had in my life. I highly recommend trying their guacamole for an appetizer. A ordered a burrito for my entree and it was amazing. Our waitress was so nice and I recommend going in on Thursdays because that's when she works. I highly recommend going here you won't be disappointed read more

So far so good!! So far off the beaten path. What a great place with a great staff. Stayed til closing. read more

I've only left 2 other reviews ever so it's saying something that I'm leaving this post. Ordered cheese dip and beef tacos. Both were bland. The plate was beautiful but the food was just ok. My Old El Paso tacos at home have more flavor. Literally, no flavor. Best thing on our plate was the side of rice. It was delish. read more

No sure this qualifies as authentic Mexican but it is very good. Fresh guacamole, delicious cheese dip and the braised chicken is great. Super friendly staff and oh yeah, margaritas were very nice. Will be back. read more

Insipid! We have eaten here several times in the past and it was Outstanding. The last time we were here, the food was fresh, spicy and very good. You had to wait a relatively long time for your food, because it was not cooked until you ordered. But something has changed.. This time the food came out pretty quickly. There was a side dish of rice in a bowl which had been Nuked to the point that the bowl was untouchable. We had the fish tacos, which were completely anemic and tasteless. We were both dumping salt, pepper, the salsa, guacamole, Anything we could find on the Tacos to try and give them Some flavor...any flavor! They were edible, but Very forgettable. Again, something has changed. Unfortunately, I would not recommend it and we do not plan to go back. read more

Great place with very good FRESH food ! Not terribly authentic, but great none-the-less. Yes...limited menu..but changes often...(probably daily)...and everything I have had has been excellent. MAKE SURE you ask for a side of the "hot sauce"...house made with roasted peppers. Everything we had was superb. Excellent 'ritas. Server Tracy was convivial, efficient, and quite a sense of humor ! The other stoner server....not so much :) What would I change ?? Baked whole grain chips as an option rather than fried...whole grain for burrito or taco wraps....it is possible to offer folks healthy options without too much additional hassle for the kitchen. Would eat here more often if i had these options. I will not pay for a "split plate"...if ya gonna charge me...i will walk to the next place....thus always ask to keep it on one plate...which they normally split anyway without a charge. Just a well run...simple and adorable restaurant...good value...good food... locally owned. Don't forget to try the Ethiopian place across the street..which is superb as well. read more

Tonight was my first visit, definitely will not be my last. Reading the other reviews, I had to try their Guacamole and the Old School Chicken Burrito. Both were excellent. Too much food for one, took two containers home for dinner tomorrow. Again, this was a great find. read more

The best fish taco I've ever had! The margaritas are perfect and the staff very friendly! I will definitely be back!

Started with the complimentary chips and salsa..fresh and mild. Ordered the house specialty "Sun City Chicken" but started with the black bean dip. Very good experience. An eclectic must in Myrtle Beach! read more

You walk in, overwhelmed by all the kitschy doodads hanging from the ceiling and the bad art, and are greeted by the kindest owner chatting you up. I really don't want to trash her place but this food was not good. The most popular dish is supposed to be the old school burrito- a mess that is drowning in queso. I couldn't tell what was in it beneath the heavy goopy cheese sauce. The margaritas were ok but tasted like a mix. The chips were kind of burnt tasting but the salsa was good. My son ordered a taco that was gigantic but was more like a ground beef burrito than a taco. The menu is small so there's no excuse for such bad food. read more

This is a fun little place. Only about 1 block from the ocean but a little off the beaten path. The food is excellent - it's Tex-Mex style but that doesn't quite describe the food. Think tacos and burritos with the chefs own personal touch added to it. The margarita's are some of the best I've had. read more

Love this place. So different than the rest of the MB chains/Ocean Boulevard madness. Fish tacos & sangria were so good. read more

Sun City Cafe - Mexican Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

In a land full of slick corporate chain restaurants and seafood buffets, Sun City is a hidden jewel that's well known amongst the local crowd. It's a small restaurant with limited seating. I wouldn't recommend taking a party larger than 6 people there. The inside is full of charm and kitschy enough to remind me of the fun Mom-n-Pop restaurants you find sprinkled around much bigger metropolitan areas. The menu is very limited with only a few appetizers and a handful of entrees which dutifully include taco, burrito, and quesadilla variations. The lunch menu is even more limited to basically wraps. If your requests are withing reason, they'll usually take some special orders. For example, there are no vegetarian entrees on the menu, but I've never had a problem getting a tasty meal from there. The fresh salsa is excellent as well as the black bean dip. The service can be.... uh... entertaining. Don't expect timely or even 100% accurate service. That's not to say you won't get those things on your visit. Just don't be surprised if you wind up hanging out for a couple of hours. If you approach the dinner as a social experience, you won't be disappointed. A full bar and tasty margarita's ensure you enjoy your time spent there. This is an excellent spot to take a date or have a couples night out. read more

A great alternative to all the chain choices. Very unique, laid back and a neat place to eat. Be original and eat here! Yummy spin on a traditional chicken burrito. Cold drinks, awesome shrimp queso, kid friendly. read more
