Server was nice, but did not understand enough English to bring my soda with "no ice" as requested two times. As well, my mom asked for unsweetened tea and twice got it with sugar. My California burrito was ok-the fries inside were soggy and the seasoning just left something to be desired. Covering it in queso would have helped. The rice and beans were pretty good, but the main problem both of us had is that the food was cold. We cannot understand why as the cook was in an open kitchen 6 feet from us and we watched him working hard and cooking the whole time. My mom stated that the enchiladas were okay, nothing special. She did not like that the different ones of chicken, beef, and cheese were covered all in the same sauce. The chips and salsa were good-fresh, crisp chips and two kinds of salsa. We enjoyed that part of the meal the most. It is a small place, maybe 9 tables. read more

So delicious and the staff is amazing! We will be back! They have a great menu selection including the kids menu! Great drink specials!

If it hadn't of been for the light blue pick up truck in my community that had jalapeños all over it and the name Chile Frito my wife and I would have never known this excellent Mexican restaurant existed. At first we didn't know what it was advertising then we decided to look it up after seeing the truck parked next to our car. It turns out it is a Mexican restaurant so we decided we were going to try it out the next day for dinner. Chile Frito is in a small shopping center it's not a very big restaurant. We went in and were greeted by the owner, he was very nice. I mentioned to him that we had seen the blue with jalapeños all over and looked up the name to see what it was. Excellent advertising. I had 3 taco beef chicken and a pork with rice and beans wife had a chicken meal with caso cheese and r and b. My favorite taco was the pork it had a little pineapple in it it was excellent very tasty and moist the beef and chicken were good but that pork was amazing I would surely order again. Wife's meal she said was good also. Oh this is good food. Ask for extra tortillas for your taco or ask for flour tortillas. read more

The service was amazing. Never had a chance to empty my cup. The tacos were also so good. I got the Al pastor and they were so flavorful! The decor was also very cute inside. Definitely one of the best Mexican spots in town read more

We just left and it was amazing! The staff was so sweet and friendly. I get enchiladas everywhere I go and I always say they always taste the same everywhere. At chile frito, they were totally different and amazing. My boyfriend is the same with his chimichangas and he said the same! Everything seemed very fresh and again, the staff was spectacular! We will be back! I hope they kill it! read more

Service is great. They don't let you sit with an empty glass. Real cocktails with no gross sweet/sour mix. Tacos are seasoned well and meat is lean and tender. read more

The food was freshly cooked and was great tasting with ample serving sizes. The shredded chicken chimichanga was piping hot and delicious, complimented with refried beens and Mexican rice. The shredded pork burrito was delicious much enjoyed by my wife. Loved the homemade queso with the tortilla chips and the sauces were authentic and delicious. The service was superb and they made us feel welcome and right at home the minute we stepped in the door and were seated. Our waitress was super nice and had the most beautiful smile. She took great care of us. Will definitely be going to this Mexican restaurant again and again! read more

Went there last Friday around 5pm. Gabriel greeted us and brought us directly to our table. Chips and 3 different salsas were brought to our table by Ana. We ordered our drinks and also some fresh guacamole. The service was excellent, and Gabriel had brought our drinks right away. I had the large margarita. I had 2 of those bad boys. It's nice to see a manager jump right in to help expedite service. Gabriel also brought a nice chocolate (I believe so) shot, which was very good. I ordered the skirt steak with rice & beans. My wife ordered the enchiladas, which she enjoyed very much. My steak was excellent on top of a bed of sautéed onions. This is my first time that my steak was still hot throughout my meal, and I am a slow eater. My compliments to the chef and the entire staff. Great team, Gabriel. Thank you and your staff for a wonderful meal. read more

Food was just... love at first bite! The service was fast, and lovely! The ambiance was amazingly Mexican! read more

The Grand Strand is fortunate to have many good Mexican restaurants. Chile Frito is our absolute favorite it's fairly small but comfortable, clean, and colorful. The service is exceptional--warm and friendly, knowledgable and helpful, attentive without being overbearing. The chile relleno was delicious. The choripollo was very flavorful and well balanced. The tres leches cake was outstanding. It's a great place to have a delicious, delightful meal. read more

Small place at the end of a shopping plaza. Food was quite authentic and good! Never got to the menudo but I'll be back. Wife's shredded beef quesadillas were excellent. My garlic flounder was amazing with white Mexican rice and black beans. Lots of different margaritas to choose from. Lots of the locals are regulars. read more

It it so hot in there we had to eat and leave. The air was on 82. It was too hot to even enjoy a meal. We will not be returning. We were there in the winter and no heat was on. Not sure what the owner is doing other than driving customers away. read more

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was decent. Nothing really stood out to me about the restaurant. What bothered me, though, was the servers didn't have a lot of places to go so they were always hovering around, watching me eat. It made me a little uncomfortable because it felt like I was being rushed through my meal. The host at the front of the restaurant was really nice, though. read more

Was happy to find this little gem. Our service was excellent and the food was delicious. Can't wait to come back.

A nice local Mexican option right near the Food Lion in Carolina Forest. Friendly service and seems more authentic to me than most Mexican restaurants in the area (I tried the Chile Rellenos which is my taste-tester first time at a new Mexican restaurant). Beer, wine and margs are available. Fair prices and big enough portions to take some home. Bright decor and comfortable seating round it out. read more

Saw good reviews of this place and gave it a try. Sadly disappointed. Service was okay though did have to ask for more chips several times before we got a refill. The first basket was half full. Food seasoning was minimal. Steak in burrito had lots of gristle. Yuk. Menu says the burrito is 10". Well if it was it was folded to about 5". Very small. Refried beans and rice - tasteless. Sadly we will not be returning. read more

Good service, good food, nice atmosphere.....We're local, and we'll go again. I need to use 85 characters to post a review, How's that?

These reviews are misleading. Here's the honest truth. The food is very mediocre. There isn't an amazing authentic Mexican flavor. The service was also very mediocre. Ambiance is cozy and inviting. Overall, I would not come back again. I think mediocre restaurants should just shut down considering the exorbitant prices they charge for a meal. read more

Best kept secret. On a whim after arriving at MYR we found this restaurant on Yelp. A real treat. Service, atmosphere, food, cocktails were excellent! Thank you for a nice experience after a long day of travel. read more

This place is so underrated. I went the other day with my wife. The servers were very attentive and made sure to refill my cup whenever they saw it was running low. The staff were friendly and the food was tasty! read more

We found this gem near the airport. Not too big but clean and comfortable. Best guacamole I've ever had. Food was delicious and authentic. The owner was very friendly and attentive. read more

We stopped by for dinner with a group (8) and all of us had great meals. We had great service and the food recommendations were perfect. Make sure to get the guacamole and queso to start and save some room from the Tres Leche Cake and the flan!! read more

Doesn't look like much on the outside, but don't let that fool you. My wife and I were on a week long stay in central Myrtle Beach. I meticulously look thru reviews to make sure I'm going to a good place. This place stood out above the rest and it was obvious once we got there. It's not like Fiesta Mexicana and for good reason. It's roughly 15-20 minutes outside the big touristy sites, but worth the travel. The service was impeccable! I ask for a mojito, which wasn't on the drink menu, and I was crafted up one of the best mojitos I've ever had.. the three choices of salsa they give are all amazing. You get a regular, a salsa verde, and a hot. The salsa verde was a personal favorite. My wife says you can judge a place right away from the quality of their cheese dip and Chile Frito's was on point. I got the asada and chicken tacos. My wife got the beef burrito. Everything tasted so fresh and so good! Seriously some of the best tacos I've ever had the pleasure of eating! It was a true pleasure. I wish I took pictures, but even then would not do this place justice. Seriously would give more stars if I could because the vibe and service was just awesome! read more

I mean looks okay but steak definitely needs some seasoning and the "queso" is definitely just white american cheese. Wish they would have remembered plastic ware too cause we had to hunt down some plastic forks from our hotel. Just make sure you don't get the quesadilla they are not worth the money. It's like they were afraid to use any seasoning on anything. Hands down worst "Mexican" food (if you could even call it that) in my life! I would try a different place before here for sure. read more

Chile Frito - Must be like the whitest of white people leaving reviews - Mexican Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Never been here before staff was friendly. Food was really good. Even though they had a B on the door. I'm sure the infractions were cleaned up. The lady was cleaning the entire time we were eating. I would happily eat here again read more

Easy to find and super friendly staff. The chips, salsa, queso with red and green hot sauce all tasted homemade in-house. We shared combo Fajitas (shrimp, chicken and beef) with flour tortillas, refried beans, rice and salad with light oil/vinegar dressing. 99% of our Mexican orders have been grilled Fajitas so I our sample size is very large over 30+ years. Absolutely outstanding and we couldn't remember better Fajitas anywhere else. Even the ice tea was excellent! Total dinner amount for unlimited soft drink and tea, $36.80 and easily worth going back again. read more

We've dined here a few times and will definitely be back! Consistently good food and great service. Super friendly staff and great drinks! read more

Love this place. The ceviche is always fresh and delicious. The service is always x welcoming.

Delicious food, quick service, and fun ambience! I strongly recommend the burritos! The best Mexican food we had in the Myrtle Beach area.

WOW. So I'm in town working construction, and I stopped by Chile Frito. It's the real deal. Whatever the deal is. The grilled chicken burrito was FIRE. Chicken was fresh, thick, cooked right, tender, tasty. The onion and peppers grilled with it perfectly. The Tortilla not too heavy.... The sauces.... It was honestly fabulous. AND THEN THE FRIED ICE CREAM. I mean just go here, and you'll thank me. It hits. Super good. read more

This is our go to Mexican for Taco Tuesday's . Always a nice greeting by the owner upon entering , no reservations necessary. Very efficient servers and always satisfied with the menu items . Cooked to Perfection . This is a hidden gem .. read more

Very disappointed with my visit to Chili Frito. The service was exceptional but the food was sub par. I ordered the Enchiladas with beans and rice. The beans and rice arrived cold. The main issue with the echiladas was that it arrived covered with lettuce. I myself am not a fan or warm lettuce. Again, the service was exceptional but I will not be going back there. read more

I picked this place after searching Yelp for a restaurant looking for 'best fish tacos' .. please note that there were the most sour flavor so sour that I had to return them and ordered the shrimp tacos instead. This place is not 4.5 stars. I would say 3. The tortilla chips were also not fresh. Reheated and not at all good. Quite disappointing as this was my first trip to Myrtle Beach for golf. read more

We love this restaurant! My wife had the Cuban sandwich, which first of all if gigantic. It was also delicious. I had the burrito entree and loved every bite. We will defiantly comeback!! read more

Got the 2 tacos, pastor and chicken rice and beans. ACP and Chimichanga was one of the best we've had. All was very good.

This place is a gem! Everything from the chips and salsa to the tacos and enchiladas was fantastic. Being from out of town we were shocked that the place was not as busy as it should have been. Away from the touristy areas and right next to a Food Lion. This place is a must if you want authentic Mexican. read more
