    Fajita nachos texanas

    Chips came out super fast/hot/crunchy, queso dip and salsa dip were perfect, waiter was amazing also. Fajita nachos tex - 9.5/10 ( shrimp ,steak and chicken are all delicious) nachos a little soft but to be expected still hot though! Quesabirria - 9/10 "best birria I've had in Myrtle beach" ~ college student at costal A.C.P texan - 8/10 "I'd give it a 10 if they had my Pacifico" Enchiladas poblanos - maybe a 7/10 thought it would have more flavor "it's editable"

    We LOVE El Cerro Grande! The food is so delectable! The service is always amazing! We go there all the time so we order the same items and the waiters and waitress know us by now! The ambiance of the place is very nice too. If you are in the Surfside Beach or Myrtle area and want great foot, I recomend El Cerro Grande

    Chili Relleno on the lunch menu was a combo

    10/10 always! Since I moved away it is so hard to find GOOD Mexican food that isn't outrageously expensive and for this el cerro will always hold a special place in my heart. (You really don't know what you've got til it's gone) Free chips and salsa which is always a plus. Delicious queso and HEAPING portions (this was lunch portioning). Large drink selection, A+ margs, quick friendly staff members, and a good vibe for whatever kind of day you're having. What's not to enjoy????

    Fajitas Texana

    First time trying this place. We went in between lunch and dinner on a Friday. Only two other tables full. Service was fine. The chips and salsa were great. Cheese dip was good as well. I got the fajitas Texana. Which has shrimp, steak, and chicken. The shrimp was the only protein with flavor. The queso helped. Dissaponted overall with the fajitas. Wife got the nachos supreme and she liked them. Cost us $60. Not sure if we would go back. Was good, but far from great.

    Enchiladas poblanos

    We ordered takeout and it was really good! I had the enchiladas poblanos which came with a very large side of rice. My husband had the seafood chipotle. We also asked for chips and salsa and they gave a nice portion! I hope we can try out this spot in person next time! The reason for the 4 stars was due to a little confusion with the location. The website shows 3 locations at the bottom of the page, but we didn't realize that when we hit the telephone button on the top of the page to call in our order. When ordering, the person taking the order tried to make sure we were ordering from the correct spot, but apparently there was still confusion. My husband drove to the wrong spot to pick up our food, and was out quite a long time for a quick to go pickup. I have a feeling this regularly happens, so maybe there is a way they can make the locations clearer on their website. If you are ordering takeout triple check that you have the right location!

    Greeted upon entering. Friendly staff. Restaurant was very clean. Music playing in the background which allowed for private conversations. Food was excellent. Came out hot and yummy. Had the beef burritos with rice. Two on the plate. Can't see them in pics because of the lettuce on top. Traditional chimichangas were so good. Nice crunch to the exterior with delicious tender beef on the inside covered with a white queso. The tortilla chips and salsa were very fresh. Salsa had a great "zip" to its taste. Definitely will return to this hidden gem the next time we're looking for Mexican food.

    Not the best experience at this restaurant. The service was mediocre and so was my meal to be honest. I've heard really good things about this restaurant so maybe I'll give it another try at another location but sorry to say I was not impressed at all.

    This has quickly become one of our favorites in Myrtle beach. The atmosphere is amazing, service is…read morefriendly, prices are good, and food is delicious. So they do get 5 stars in my book... However, now that we've gone multiple times i can confidently say it is rather inconsistent. Sometimes your burrito is swimming in an amazing cover of cheese and sometimes is a little more than a drizzle. This latest time something must have been a little off because my tried and true Al Pastor burrito came with 95% rice inside... I don't think I saw any beans and only a few pieces of meat. Again - this is not the norm and my great experiences outweighed this last visit, but consistency in the long run will be important. I'd also agree with the reviews saying they like to charge for upsells and they are pretty good at pushing them. I love their house hot sauce but paying a dollar for hot sauce at a Mexican restaurant seems a bit absurd... Overall worth a try and we will continue coming back but there is some fine tuning for management!

    I've been here for happy hour a couple times now and both times its been relatively bustling…read more The food here is good and their happy hour pricing is very fair. 6 dollar coconut margs are nice and chips and chorizo queso for 6 bucks would be too, if you could get someone to bring you a chips refill. I subtracted two stars because on each of my trips here, the service has pretty much sucked. Both times our party was basically totally forgotten about...no refills on chips or waters and we had to go off elsewhere inside to flag someone down simply to get and then pay our bill. Unfortunately, this consistent shoddy service keeps me from returning in the future. Oh well, lots of other happy hours in Myrtle to enjoy, like Sol y Luna in Carolina Forest.

    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!
