    Stopped in since my flight was delayed and has some tacos al la carte. The Banin' Shrimp was my favorite although the Don't Cry4 Me (grill steak) and Kahuna (teriyaki chicken) were both also very good and flavorful. Service was a little slower that I expected but still good for being busy, and dine in atmosphere unique and nice. Overall, I had a good experience.

    Nacho Hippo is in Market Common nestled directly next to PF Chang. It's a nice little vibey joint for a quick margarita and a taco or two. You can sit inside or outside or even at the bar. Wait staff is super friendly and service is pretty quick. Not a bad stop for a little hangout or some quick bites.

    2 of the tacos out of 4 for 28 dollars...

    Charged me 28 dollars for four regular sized tacos..never again.they taste no better than taco bell .. myrtle beach south

    Nacho hippo is really wonderful. They have the best margaritas around. We decided to share the queso dip with beef added. Time to order dinner. Two tacos for me with beef and all the way. He had the yard pimps. Fried wontons all the way. If you see me there, stop by and say hello.

    Not sure if I was always one of my favorite places to go when I'm in Myrtle Beach. The food there is always great. And they always have great cocktails at the bar. The last time we went, the service was not up to par. It took us a little while to get someone to take our order, but we are OK with that because our drinks came pretty quick. The only issue I really had was that it was so hot outside that the drinks were sweating really bad on the tables. Our table was a little offset and crooked, so my water sweated itself right off the table into the floor. When one of the girls came over to help clean it up, I apologize for making a mess and helped to pick up some of the glass. She made a comment something to the effective well maybe if you hadn't had so many of those (pointing at my cocktail) this wouldn't have happened. I was a little put off for this, and it actually was my first drink. I started to say something to the manager, but decided not to because maybe she was just having a bad day and took it out on me. This is the first time I've ever had any complaint at nacho hippo I love the food there and the drinks are always cold and refreshing.

    Highly recommend visiting. Me and my family absolutely loved everything about this place. The staff is so friendly! The food was AMAZING! Easily one of the best meals we had while visiting Myrtle beach. The atmosphere is great, such a laid back environment. It's in a great location too!

    We stopped by this location pretty late in the day for a late night dinner while on vacation or three tacos, the gringo the shrimp taco and also one of the fish tacos that was recommended on one of the reviews shrimp taco in the gringo were really good the fish taco not so much undercooked cold very fishy

    Great place for dinner and drinks! Good selection to choose from. Generous portions and fair prices. Highly recommend checking out if you're in the area. This location has a fee parking garage next to the entrance. Was at N. Myrtle location last time we were here almost 5 years ago and it was delicious!

    It was so nice to return to this place and I had forgotten how much I liked it. The flavors here surprise and delight me and I loved everything we had. We were so hungry and forgot to take pics on this visit. We got the bang bang shrimp appetizer that is served in the tortilla cups. It was one of the best things I have ever tasted honestly. I also got two tacos, one with seared tuna, and one vegetarian. They were absolutely amazing. Fresh, flavorful, delicious. I could eat here every day. We had a great time, great service, amazing decor, easy parking nearby in the garage. We will be back! Miss you already Nacho Hippo!

    The building has great curb appeal! Bright lights, ample outdoor seating, and a wonderful ambiance! Inside it is just as nice and vibrant. Margarita special-wasn't so special...$7-16 ounce house drink. Or you could do the original NON special-32 ounce for $12....so the special really wasn't a thing...also very basic margarita: mix, tons of ice, and very little tequila. Service was poor. Our waitress was missing most of the time...so that was lovely... Food was better than the service! Still a solid 3 for food. Tex-Mex and typical tastes. The rice was good, and nachos are a step up from Taco Bell's Nacho's Bell Grande... so take this one as you will.

    In Myrtle Beach for vacation, yes, even during Hurricane Debby. And yes, it has rained buckets. But this place is situated in mixed use area called the Market Common. It has plenty of restaurants, a bowling alley, a movie theater, and shops. This is a great Mexican food establishment not too big and not too small. There are many options, including vegan options with a variety of margaritas , beer, and a small selection of wine. The service from start to finish was nice and not atmosphere.

    At Myrtle Beach on vacay, my wife and I were in the mood for Mexican (more Tex Mex) fare and Nacho Hippo looked interesting. As our custom, we went for early dinner. The place was packed! But we only had to wait about 15 minutes. Monica brought us menus, which we had already been looking over. My wife got the Sloppy Burrito with chicken. I decided to try their special Hipponachomus Nachos, personal size. We started off with Tortilla chips and Queso dip. I also asked for hot salsa, extra cost. Turned out to be Mango Habanero and a bit sweet. Didn't think I would like it but I did! Our food came and servings were huge. My wife loved her (usual) burrito. Our chips and dips were also great. My Nachos? Shazam! A huge pile of chips with Chili, Chicken, Taco Meat, two cheeses, lettuce and Pico de Gallo. It was really great. And so much I had to take a third back to resort. Many more cars arriving as we were leaving and headed to inside and outside seating. Food was great, service excellent, ambiance a bit noisy. The inside dining looked small in comparison with the huge buildings.

The steak Gordita was the best thing here only thing that be better if they used melted cheese inside instead of cotija cheese. The torta cubana was okay the bread is way too doughy and they cheap out on ingredients. The steak torta something with the bread way too doughy they're better using a telera. The steak inside there was weird. Barbacoa burrito was good needs ingredients inside of it not on the plate. The steak dinner was okay the meat should have been a skirt steak but it look dry and not tender. They have a lot of Mexican pop to choose from and Mexican beer. They also offer a bar. They don't have horchata water only Jamaica water. The service was not that great. Our waitress was very quiet I could barely hear her. I recommend getting different cheese and bread and you have a great spot.

Super attentive, friendly, and just lovely. Water cups never empty, complimentary chips/salsa always full... they were constantly making sure your experience was good. There's a reason why there's a line! Visit this gem. The parking lot doesn't accommodate all the fans so you might need to park across the street where Ace hardware is located. It's literally a short walk.

Checked on us often but not hovering! We started with free chips and salsa, very good salsa with a tiny kick. Next we ordered mango margaritas and table side guac. The margaritas are definitely made from scratch, very good mango flavor but get an extra shot if you want to taste liquor. The guacamole was delicious with nice lime flavor. I was disappointed that they had no enchiladas on the menu so I ordered the Molcajete. It's definitely large for one person so plan on bringing home a bag! The food was delicious. The only con was that the meats were not sliced all the way so you had to pull out a chunk to slice. I also feel the steak was a little tough to chew. The pineapple slices were unexpected but delicious. The food came out hot which was great. The chicken fajitas and the steak fajitas were also very good. If you order it with cheese, it's going to be melted in and the pineapple is cut up and mixed in which was unexpected and was the only downside. Hubby liked the shrimp bowl. All in all we had a great meal and would come again.

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.

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!
