We loved our first visit so much we went back to another location for more during our vacation! I had dreams about the #%# Nachos. The fresh mango salsa and cilantro over the jerk chicken was so good. We tried 3 different varieties of nacho but that was hands down the best! The service was also excellent. Our party of 7 was very pleased. read more

We used to go to Nacho Hippo a few times a year . The chicken quesadilla was the best around and we used to make our own Nachos. Went with some friends on Friday and found out they changed the menu! . it was horrible ! They changed the chicken quesadilla and they don't offer make your own Nachos anymore. They also don't offer the hamburger or chicken sandwich for people that don't like Mexican Anymore! We are very disappointed and won't be going back there anytime soon soon if ever read more

I thought this place was pretty good. It is by no means authentic Mexican or tex-mex, but I don't think that's the vibe they're going for anyway. I was there with my family. We ordered the pulled pork nachos and they were good, but actually smaller than I anticipated. I had the bang bang shrimp taco and enjoyed it. I'd go again. read more

They're open with limited seating and our food took a LONG time. Our waitress Karen stopped by & said "your food is up soon!" Cool. A couple minutes pass and she says "Yours is the next order up- I just saw it!" Great. She comes back out, still not with our food. Then she disappears for ten more minutes, we're assuming waiting for our food since she didn't have many tables. Then, we got our food & 4 (of the 5) people ordered Sour Cream on the side but she brought two and said "I know no one ordered it, but I thought I'd bring some sour cream anyway!" She's a nice lady, but the service was not good. The hungry hippo nachos have shredded chicken and ground beef, but of the little meat it had, 90% was ground beef. Besides that, the nachos are delicious! Margarita was $3 and not good on the rocks read more

Nacho Hippo - Hungry Hippo - Mexican Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Ate some late night food here after hanging out nearby at 810. We had the Nachohippomous (or something like that) and some chips with queso. It was so good! Very filling. We shared the personal size and were stuffed!!! The place has a really cool vibe with lots of bright colors. I would eat here again. We sat on the patio and it was really nice. Our server was really friendly and funny. read more

This location is such a hot spot since it's right in the heart of market commons. We were looking for a quick bite before our movie and decided to have margs and nachos. Our drinks never came out even after our nachos did. We had to keep asking other servers to get our server to serve us even water. We got our nachos and they were so dry with barely any queso so we asked for me and the server said we would be charged more. Ok, so I pay for plain chips with cheese that's not even soaked in cheese ? I asked for fresh jalapeños and never got them either and we got our drinks when we asked for the check since we were so fed up with the service and the waste of a money nachos! Bad service is one thing but go up charge for what was suppose to come initially in the food we ordered is what pissed me off! So uncalled for and unnecessary ! read more

Nacho a good place to eat. Long wait for mediocre food. The nachos were overpriced ($18) with some cheese sauce, shredded lettuce and flavorless ground beef on top. My husband got the pork taco and he said it okay. We asked to sit outside, but they said it was too hot 7:30 pm & 80 degrees), though clearly it was because they were short staffed. It took forever to get our food and then another year to get our check. I felt back for our server because the hostess just kept seating her table after table. read more

always a pleasure and always delicious. We love everything about this place. Great family place for dinner.

Nacho Hippo - Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

We came here for a very late lunch and they weren't busy at all. We ended up parking in the garage which is not a far walk at all. We got sat right away at a table. Our server was overall friendly but a little distant. My husband got the grande margarita and he thought it was very refreshing. We got the nachos hippo style with the chili on the side because my husband isn't a fan of chili. The nachos were delicious and we split it so it was very filling. The toppings were great and evenly scattered and the chips weren't soggy. The chili added a nice touch to it. We wanted some salsa and we asked for a side of it and they did charge us for it which is fine. I would definitley get the nachos again! read more

Food wasn't tasty and you have to pay for chips and dip. Service was good just seemed to not be organized. Had to wait 15 mins to be seated and it was hot in there. Bathroom was clean. Didn't have a lot on menu either. read more

This is sort of a mixed review because my meal was delicious but my husbands was not. We both had mojitos a strawberry and peach which both could of used more flavor and a tiny bit more alcohol. I had the personal portion of the Hungry Hippo which was just the perfect size and was delicious. Messy as all heck though, I must have used 15 napkins. My husband had a Taco platter. We both liked the Love You Long Time, and the Kahuna was ok, but the Carolina Kid was so salty it was almost inedible. For sides he had rice and black beans. The rice was dry and extremely bland but he said the beans were ok. I am not a black beans person in general. Staff was very friendly and attentive and the restaurant is fun with a nice view of a park lots of dogs which made the meal entertaining. read more

Nacho Hippo - Hipponachomus Chili (with shredded chicken & taco meat) +fresh jalapeños+ habanero drizzle - Mexican Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

We sat at the bar due to the amount of people there surprisingly. We order nachos, which were very bland. They only had one person running the bar (food and drinks). Nachos were bland and honestly the worst nachos I've had. Ordered food for the family and asked if they could box it up for us, and they said we had to do it. I wouldn't recommend this place to my friends. I just hope this company makes adjustments to who it operates read more

Service was very good. Everyone was very friendly and attentive they messed up our order a few times but they were happy to fix it and take the wrong stuff off the bill. We got an order of ACP and 2 teriyaki tacos. The tacos were wonderful and were full of flavor. The spicy sauce was just the right amount of spice. The ACP was different than I was used to. However it was much better than I have back in Ohio. The big chunks of chicken breasts were well seasoned and cooked great. All in all very good Tex mex restaurant. read more

The name does not disappoint as their are some tasty nachos to be had here and you will probably feel like a hippo when you leave because you ate and drank way too much. We stopped by here while visiting the Market Commons on a Sunday afternoon. The Bangin' Shrimp Nachos (seafood nacho #2 during our visit to Myrtle Beach) sounded way too good to pass up so we ordered that and a few Love You Long Time Thai Tacos. They also were serving $1 margaritas so we ordered a couple of those as well. Our tacos were OK, kind of small for what you pay for but the nachos definitely made up for the lackluster tacos. Huge portion piled high with fried shrimp, nacho toppings, and a tasty sauce. Hit the spot just right. Their patio seating is small but we were able to get a spot in the sun so that we could relax, drink, and people watch. Service was a little flighty here and their hostess was not very good (overly stressed and not welcoming at all) but once we were seated things improved somewhat. Great place for food and drinks. There are many locations around Myrtle Beach so finding one is not hard to do. There is also a location at the airport in case you miss finding one while on the beach. read more

Yummy yummy! Food is delish, bartenders are amazing & their house margs are to die for. Great atmosphere/vibes!

Food was amazing and large portions. Service was quick and facility had a cool vibe. Will definitely go back again! read more

Terrible restaurant! Took 15 minutes to acknowledge our group of 6. They lost our ticket came back and took our order again because they lost our ticket. Server was lost and never took refills. We were there for 2 unexpected hours for very mediocre food. No acknowledgement or offer discount to make right for innocence. They don't care for their customer's time and experience. read more

I've visited in the past and it was awesome. This trip was disappointing. The restaurant was dirty and the food was sub par. Our server seemed mad to be there. Maybe we just caught them on an off day. read more

The saving grace for Nacho Hippo are the wonderful young women who work there like Dreme. The service was perfect with each girl helping the others. Top notch service for sure. Subpar food definitely. $18.00 for 10 fishy small shrimp 1/4 wedge of lettuce, a sprinkle of cheese and pico , and hard greasy chips. Thats asking a lot. Novelty atmosphere and good service can't make up for the less than stellar food. read more

We went to Nacho Hippo with a group of 11 and we were seated within a very reasonable amount of time. The waitress was great and the food was phenomenal! All of us raves about what they ate. We will definitely eat there again when we visit Myrtle Beach. Chimi-chimi-bang-bang was awesome! read more

Very nice area and restaurant. We sat at the bar and our sever was very nice! We ordered Queso dip, ka ka ka Kia taco with steak and a spicy sauce. The taco was good but too spicy for me. The queso dip bland. My drink was supposed to be margarita Tini, it was not good, didn't taste and liquor and seemed premixed and too sweet I wouldn't come back. Sorry no pics read more

Delicious food and generous portion sizes. Service was excellent and food came out fast. Will be coming here everytime we visit Myrtle in the future! read more

This place is very cute. You can tell it's a tourist attraction but it's a fun one! The theme is a little weird but if you're up for something interesting it's definitely somewhere I'd recommend. I got the Good Stuff quesadilla which was very tasty and my dad got the sloppy burrito. He says it was great as well but could only eat half because it is so massive. My only warning is that most of the meals have very silly names so it can be a little mortifying to order. read more

Love it here! Nice areas to sit in the shade outside to enjoy sunny days & plenty inside areas too. The staff are super friendly & their food/house margs are delish. I'm not a margarita person but theirs is sooo tasty. I always get the Carolina kid taco & a side of fries. Yummy! We always seem to go there when Nick (one of the bartenders) is there & he's great! We love Nick. The atmosphere in general is great too. All around 10/10. read more

Super cute, kid friendly spot in the Market Common area. I ordered the BBQ'd Oinker nachos, which were really good. I thought the small portion was plenty. I appreciated that the nachos are corn tortillas - and that the waitress was kind enough to let me know about cross contamination from being in the same fryer as other fried foods. My husband ordered tacos and they were also really good. The only thing he would change is ordering flour instead of corn tortillas, as he felt the corn tortillas were dry and took away from the flavor of the tacos. Though, it's nice they have the option of corn for those who cannot have flour! They also have a bar area if you want to snag a bite/drink without getting a table! read more

Every restaurant buys their liquor from the same place why are your prices so high. At least 30% higher. And food is very bland.

Absolutely disgusting! My friend told me that she went here before and it didn't impress her. Since it was on my way home, open, and I was hungry, I gave it a try. I mean how can you make steak Fajitas taste bad. Even less than impressive Mexican restaurants taste good enough to eat. Normally it's just better at some places than others, right? Oh how wrong I was. Nothing on the plate looked made in house. The rice, guacamole , steak, tomatoes, pico, peppers, and even the cheese was so off. Everything looked pre-bought and just heated up. I was starving. I made one fajita and felt sick after I shoved it down. Everything tasted weird. When something as simple as grilled veggies and protein tastes weird, it's not a good sign. Then I started not feeling well almost immediately. I didn't have time to tell the server because I didn't want to puke on the bar. However, I did jot down under my signature on the bill that something was off with the food and ran out the door. Thank god the food was also so under seasoned, otherwise I may have eaten more due to my hunger. To sum it up, bland food+weird after taste = food poisoning. The warning signs were all there and I partly blame myself for being so careless. Red Flags: Restaurant name makes no sense, no one working knows what the name signifies or how it was established, pictures of their food on the menu like a lame Mexican or Chinese restaurant. Even the pictures look gross. But it was in such a nice part of town. That's probably the real reason I gave it a try. I didn't think "The Market Common" would allow such a shitty unhealthy restaurant. read more

Our hotel gave us a $5 coupon and when we were out near barefoot landing, we decided to give it a try. It's a fun atmosphere and is basically an outdoor environment. We sat near the bar in the back under umbrellas. It's all brightly colored and fun hippo art throughout. They also have an area that looks to be set up for a band. We ordered the hungry hippo nachos which is beef and chicken loaded nachos. The kids got chocolate milks and 1 chicken nugget meal, 1 beef/cheese nacho meal and 1 beef/cheese taco meal. All came with fries, which the kids loved. They have a nice beer selection, bottled and draft. They service was super fast and the server checked on us frequently. So glad we tried this place on this trip, it might be a new staple for us! read more

Super friendly staff, and always good food. Love the views out the front of the pond/park.

Was driving into town to meet up with my family and we came here. The food was delicious and outstanding. They had really good music and the service was great really friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend trying this place out if you never been before. The bartender made some amazing drinks and recommend some delicious tacos, I got the blackened fish tacos and chips and salsa. I can't wait to come back and try other delicious food. read more

Food was just ok if you like bland nachos. The service was slow and the area did not have a very good atmosphere. Open windows with birds flying in constantly is cute but annoying while trying to eat. Margarita was ok as well. Prices were too much for this kind of service and food. It was not an experience I will repeat. Just go to Taco Bell. read more

AMAZING SERVICE! AMAZING FOOD! GREAT ATMOSPHERE! I cannot say enough about this restaurant! My family is from out of town and we decide to stop into Nacho Hippo because we had never been before. Our server/bartender Nick did an amazing job. Drinks were always full, he made sure our entire group was taken care of. We had a party of 8 and he was also bartending at the same time! I recommend everyone take a chance and go to Nacho Hippo it is definitely worth it. Everyone in our group enjoyed their entire meal. read more

Nacho Hippo - Hipponachomus - Mexican Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

We weren't sure what to expect here, because it's listed as fast food. There are staff to wait on you, but the food is served relatively quickly. They are known for their nachos, so we split one and our son got his own and we also tried one of the tacos. They have a large alcoholic drink selection, too. Our waitress was quite friendly and answered all our questions. The food was good but I don't know if this is someplace that we would go back to if we came back to the area. read more

On our first night in Myrtle Beach, we came here and got way more than what we bargained for! I can't remember our server's name, but he was super-friendly, efficient, and helpful every step of the way. He went out of his way to provide excellent service, which was greatly appreciated. Now to the food. Well, the bangin' shrimp nachos were absolutely bangin', the oinker nachos had us pigging out, and the quesadillas kept the kids happy and that's a winning combination in my book! Really cool atmosphere inside too. We greatly enjoyed our visit and would absolutely come back! read more

Not sure what the hype is about this place other than maybe the location. I do not drink so maybe it's the drinks that gets it. The food was mediocre at best. I'd say below average, hence the rating. Nachos felt store bought and slapped together in a microwave. Orders had items forgotten on them. The ingredients were bland. Little flavor, especially at a Mexican restaurant. Just overall disappointed. The setting was kinda cool. It was slightly overwhelming with everything crammed in there. Our server was very nice but seemed to be forgetful which made our stay at the place longer than we wanted or needed it to be. But the area this is in is very nice and the park/stores around made it a nice area to visit in Myrtle Beach. read more
