Carnitas

Visited here on a vacation to Myrtle Beach, it was outstanding. My boyfriend and I had to go back. We went twice in the span of 3 days!! It is delicious food. We had the shrimp tacos (10/10), enchiladas (10/10), and carnitas (10/10). We also had their complimentary chips and salsa which is SO GOOD. This restaurant is overall great, ambiance, variety, decor, and service is wonderful. Manager is involved and inviting, both waitresses we had were lovely women, recommended items to us, and made it a complete experience! Waitresses were Paulina and Samantha Will be back the next time we visit!

Chicken and Mango Quesadilla
Amy M.

We stopped here for lunch on the way to check out the beach and it was really good. We were surprised the reviews weren't better as the food we had was excellent. I had the chicken and mango quesadillas and hubby had fajitas and we thought both were fantastic. Our waiter was friendly and the manager checked in too. Everything was yummy and the service was great.

Happy hour tacos

Have been here several times and food has been great every one of them. Happy hour tacos are a fantastic deal! Three of these for only $8.99, and they are very tasty Service has always been prompt and on point. Can't wait until my next visit!

Salsa and chips
Kristen B.

Concierge recommended this restaurant over others for good Mexican cuisine. Really disappointing. Started out with chips and salsa and the chips were not homemade or served warm. Basically flavorless. Salsa may have been homemade but nothing special. Ordered a guacamole, queso and pico appetizer which as not very good. Queso was liquid white with no seasoning, guacamole was just smashed avacado - no onion, jalapeno or tomato, and pico was totally dry. Entrees were green enchiladas which were put under a broiler and the green sauce was totally caked on top and cheese was dark brown. Inside was stewed chicken and nothing else. At least it was moist. Only plus. Rice was flavorless. Asked for sour cream and got crema which was almost liquid. Other entree was beef fajitas and beef was chewy and veggies were ok. Everything seemed to lack seasoning. Homemade tortillas were good. One positive was decent service - reason for 2 stars. Would not be my choice to recommend to tourists.

Fries kids meal

Just go!! First impression, we got there about 6 pm on a Sunday and there was maybe 2 other tables there and we thought of leaving because how empty it was. We went in and were kindly treated, and it smelled good! They have good sized portions, that were amazing! And the chips and salsa hit the spot! I got the Quessa- barria, definitely a must try, great flavor and tender meat. Husband got the quesadilla- fajita with steak, and it was juice and tender and the peppers had the best taste. Kids meals were good sized and very good too! I think it may have been the owner stopped by a few times to make sure it was to our liking, go give it a try!

Chicken fajitas

The food had no spices. It was fresh but tasteless. It was so bland I'm surprised it's still open

We love Fiesta Mexicana. We dine there every time we visit Myrtle Beach. It is a very busy…read morerestaurant. The waitstaff is very friendly and helpful. We had an especially wonderful waitress, Alondra, on our last visit. The chips and salsa were delicious. We ordered shredded beef tacos and tacos al pastor (pork with pineapple). They were both wonderful tasting large portions. They have a HUGE menu. I am sure they could accommodate your needs even if you don't see what you want on the menu. The ambiance there is pretty loud and hectic. It is a very busy restaurant. There are TV's playing different sports. There is also a patio. Sometimes there is live music.

We ended up coming to Fiesta Mexicana after having an unpleasant experience at another restaurant…read morenearby, and I'm honestly so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. The service was great, and our server was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made us feel like she genuinely appreciated us being there. The food was really good, the drinks were great, and the entire atmosphere was so much more welcoming. As someone who works in the service industry myself, good hospitality stands out to me, and this was exactly how customers should be treated. What started as a disappointing night somewhere else turned into a really enjoyable dinner thanks to the staff here. We were happy to spend our money somewhere we felt welcomed and appreciated. We will absolutely be back!

This place Kicks with excellent food .. Very attentive…read morestaff .. Food was hot , ready to eat No wait .. excellent bartender !! AAA+++

This is not a 4.5-star restaurant as the reviews would indicate. On a good day 4 stars. I read…read moreall the reviews and was excited - and I will tell you this - the ambiance and the watermelon mint margherita were on point. That drink was amazing. My wife's burrito was as good as you can get at any Mexican restaurant but not really better. I was pretty excited to try the chicken mole because so many reviews were talking about how authentic this restaurant was. When I first got the dish I tried the mole sauce. In my experience a good mole sauce is something that is a passed down for generations with a complex and unique flavor and a minor unsweetened dark chocolate undertone. This mole was not all that flavorful - was somewhat cold and painted over a fried 1/2 chicken. I was going to power through it and this may have been a four-star review - but when I peeled back the breast part of the chicken it was really cold - like refrigerator cold - almost frozen. Not undercooked - cold. This tells me that I was eating a meal that was prepared in advance and then re-heated. I will say that the server was excellent - and when I returned the dish he handled it like a pro, I ended up getting a different dish that was pretty solid - nothing exceptional. I haven't returned a dish in years and was happy with how this process went. I did get comped one of those excellent watermelon drinks which made me happy. All in all - I will probably go again - but I would probably only go to the bar for the drinks and ambiance. I'd give 3.5 stars - but cannot give 4 stars.
