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

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

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

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

Ah-maz-ing! I came here specifically for the corn-on-the-cob (street corn) and was not disappointed. It's so, so good! The $3 margaritas are with it (very strong!!), and the l waitstaff is super friendly. The Bangin' Shrimp tacos are delicious and the perfect level of spicy. This place is definitely worth a visit. And it's only 10 minutes off Ocean Blvd. Coming here to eat will be the best decision you make in Myrtle Beach. read more

Nacho Hippo - Looking toward entrance and bar area .....every table feels a breeze - Mexican Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

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

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

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

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

I have been coming here every year while on vacation down here. The meals are very good and the prices are reasonable. The service tonight was excellent! As always, I'll be back. P.S. -Try the spicy margarita, delish. read more

We were excited to try this place out as the menu seemed fun with a lot of options. Our server was really nice and we enjoyed the evening overall but the food wasn't as good as we had hoped. We, of course, tried an order of nachos (we went with the Bleep Hole Nachos), two tacos (The Gringo and Pollo Loco) and a grilled corn on the cob. The tacos were stacked with toppings and were pretty good. The nachos also had a lot of toppings but hardly any chicken with the chips tasting very stale. The corn on the cob was inedible in our opinion. It seemed nicely roasted and has a fair amount of crema/cheese but the corn itself actually lacked flavor. We are huge corn fans and we couldn't get past just a few bites. Our server recognized that we didn't like the corn and removed if from the bill promptly which we appreciated. The atmosphere was nice but the food really just wasn't our favorite. We vacation here every couple of years and this likely won't be a restaurant we revisit as there are a lot of others in the area that we prefer. read more

Place is pretty solid. Good chips, decent food. I got the chimichanga, and was pretty good! Would've liked if it had queso on it. Place also has a good vibe with the outdoor patio 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

If I could come back daily, I would. So filling and delicious. The most friendly service too. Highly recommend! read more

We were picking a friend up from the airport and saw this was close. Nacho hippo has a huge menu and was vegan friendly for me! The restaurant itself was very clean, and we were greeted by friendly staff. Bright lights are strung around the "dive" decor of painted walls, vintage license plates, and big screen TVs. Our server, Ashley, was wonderful! Very knowledgeable with the menu and helped me selection a vegan option. We ordered drinks, even one served in a bucket. The drinks were tasty, but seemed to be very low volume in booze. Still yum though! The dip sampler was good, and we loved the mango habanero salsa the best. My partners nachos were a hit and I enjoyed my tacos for the most part. They were essentially a salad rolled into a tortilla with some interestingly tangy hummus. I honestly ate the rice and beans instead, which were both incredible. Overall it was a good experience! I don't think I would crave this place, but it is definitely worth a visit! read more

Nacho Hippo - Bucket cocktail! - Mexican Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

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 stunned I haven't reviewed this spot yet. When I'm not in NMB, I think a lot about the Bang Bang Shrimp Nachos from here. Like, a whole lot. They are so good. Ridiculously good! If friends or fam are going to NMB, I WILL ask them to bring an order back for me. Food poisoning be damned! I wish I could tell you more about their other offerings, but I literally am physically incapable of not getting the Bang Bang Shrimp Nachos if I'm here. However, I have tried the guac & queso app, and it's definitely good. It's a huge hit with my daughter. Drinks are also awesome. Shout out to the bartender who made a delicious mango slushie for my daughter. She loved it! When we visited during the pandemic, we did takeout, and sadly it's just not the same. We are really excited to dine in once things are safer for the real experience. Definitely give this spot a try, it's a really fun location. We love sitting outside or in the patio area. Servers are really lovely as well. read more

The Screaming Debbie Chicken Sandwich. Let me tell you the story about a sandwich that will take total control of your life. It was a Wednesday night about 8:30 pm and I was in the Market Common area and she popped into my mind, so I called in and asked if it was too late for me to take out Debbie. The girl that answered the phone said she'll be ready in 15-20 minutes. Great! I said. During this whole COVID19 thing I'm wondering if Debbie would remember me? It's been awhile since our last visit together and she really hurt me last time. But I figured, what the heck. I'm sure things have changed and how wrong I was. Upon arrival, the girl said Debbie should be right out for you so I grabbed a beer and waited...and then she appeared...wearing a black styrofoam container, I almost couldn't control myself. I took Debbie into my hands and we walked back to my truck. The whole ride home she didn't say anything and in my mind, I kept thinking: was this a bad idea? The good Angel on my shoulder said: Debbie is not a nice girl and maybe I should go see if the double cheeseburger down the street was home but then, the bad Angel appeared and said: Debbie's a changed woman.... you'll be fine, have a good time. We arrived home and I put on the TV and dropped Debbie off on the couch. I went in to wash my hands and looking in the mirror saying: are we really gonna do this again? Oh yeah you are buddy! I popped her top and it was like looking into the sun. I got flashbacks on how hot Debbie really was. We went at it for about 10 minutes and I could barely control myself. Nothing changed! Debbie was smoking hot as I remembered and she held nothing back. She punched me in the face as hard as an MMA fighter. It was as if a grenade went off in my mouth but not once did I stop, or even think about stopping. When it was over, I must have blacked out and she was gone. I went to bed and dreamed of Debbie and how I missed her so. She hurts me every time but like a fat kid with a cupcake, I keep coming back for more. The next morning, I was reminded of Debbie's visit. That woman is evil but I will never stop seeing her. Deep inside, I love Debbie and I know she loves me in her own way. Even though I did most of the screaming, Debbie will always be my girl. read more

This is a fun place to stop for Mexican food and is affordable. The live music adds a little something extra to an already fun vibe. The food has a lot of flavor and nice quality. It is consistently good. They have a nice beverage selection and have something for everyone. The service is good even on a busy night. Easy parking. read more

The food was a 4/5. I got the bang nachos and they were very good. I love the sweet and spicy combo of the bang sauce and mango salsa. The portions were very large and it was very affordable! The service was great. The only complaint was that the restaurant was pretty dirty. read more

The food wasn't anything special but it was pretty good. The wait was a bit long for the food though. The environment was very VERY loud. I thought someone was singing karaoke but it was an actual artist. We were so thankful when her songs ended and we had a few seconds of silence before the next. Until we finally left. She wasn't a horrible singer but she was trying way too hard and it was just annoying. read more

We were told the wait would be 15-20 minutes. 40 minutes later they finally sat us and 20 minutes later, still no waitress. We came here because the other restaurants in the group were great. This is a horrible experience and would not recommend to anyone. When we finally flagged someone down to take our order, they said we had to wait for the bartender to take our order??? Never saw the bartender come from behind the bar the whole time we have been here. Bar is not even full so not sure what the issue is. read more

I had read good things about the Divine Dining Group in Myrtle Beach, so during our visit, I wanted to try out one of the company's local restaurants. We opted for Nacho Hippo at the Market Common. Upon entering, it looked to be a very casual, fun place. Not very "Mexican-looking," but then again, it doesn't have to be for a really good Mexican restaurant. That can get old and overdone anyway. Their menu was very different from a traditional Mexican restaurant, too. So instead of ordering something with the traditional tortillas wrapped around something, I went with one of their eight nacho plates, figuring they must be good if they named their restaurant after them. I ordered the Hipponachomus plate -- chili, chorizo, chicken, cheese, jalapenos, etc. What I got was a heaping platter full of nachos bigger than my head. The meats were good and the cheese was creamy, coating more than just the top layer of nachos. There were also LOTS of jalapenos. And not the pickled kind from the jar. These were freshly cut ones, adding extra spice! It was a good meal, and I was glad that I had at my table a teenager with a bottomless stomach to help me eat half of them. Would I go back? Sure! I'd also love to try the other Divine Dining Group restaurant options. read more

This is the Airport location of the same folks at Market Common. Yelpers give that location 3.5 stars. I feel this location deserves the same rating. When you are at the airport, there is a small restaurant/bar before security. Do yourself a favor and pass on by. It's run by very nice folks but it's extremely limited in both food and adult libations. So you blow through security and you'll see this place right away. It's easy to find because this is where everybody is. As it's an airport location it opens at 6 AM! It closes when the last flight leaves for the day. That can be anything from 10:30 PM to 2 AM. You know the deal; you're going to pay more for your drinks here. You should expect that at an airport location. If this surprises you I submit you have the IQ of a golf ball. The food is your standard Americanized Mexican food in all its variations. It's decent and the portions are large. The restaurant thinks they are "Hip" so they use silly names for their plates. You don't order a Chimichanga here. Instead you ask for a Chimi-Chimi-Bang-Bang. I know it's silly but it still tastes good. The servers/bartenders are fine here and sometimes even excellent. This is clearly the best place to eat/drink at the airport. I'm awarding 3 stars but for me it really should be 3.5. read more

We went with friends (party of 4) for lunch. Not too crowded. We placed our order, several minutes we received our food. It was ok, not great, 1 person didn't get jalapeños as requested. After food was brought to table, we only saw our server when she brought the bill !! Another guest had to ask for water refill !! was not pleased at all !!! read more

Came here before a movie just to grab something quick to eat. The hostess was excellent! The issue was that the waitress never showed up. We sat at the outdoor area and a few people came in after us and a waitress was at their table immediately. Right before we walked out a waitress was coming our way. I thought she was about to come serve us but nope she looked at us and kept walking. read more

A large group of friends came here with me on a Wednesday night around 10:45 pm. They are open until 1:00 am but I believe they stop serving food around 11 pm? This did make me a bit nervous, Thankfully we all were about to place an order & received it quickly. The hostess & waitress were nice considering it was so late and we were such a big group. It did take them quite a while to set up tables for us which was awkward. Opening up the menus was an interesting experience! It's like an origami puzzle. Very cool but pieces falling off & 1 friend accidentally ripped the menu in half. Because it was so late hubby & I ordered the nachopottamus $10 split is a great deal! A huge plater of covered nachos. The jalapeños were killer, seriously I couldn't even bite into one! My friend ordered a burrito and he couldn't finish it! So big! One other friend didn't like the burger (why would you order a burger at a nacho joint?!) & he had it remade. I hope to come back for the awesome atmosphere & to try those tacos people are talking about! read more

The food was excellent and came out fast, everyone working there seemed friendly. Unfortunately, no one checked on us for drink refills or other needs until after we had finished our meal. This lack of service was the only negative of an otherwise excellent experience. read more

NH has the luxury of a captive crowd and no comparable competition within the terminal, however, they seem to take their contract for granted. Our server was under the impression that personal texting superseded customer service. Meanwhile, another Team member took up a table to enjoy her own meal. Overall, no sense of urgency, sincerity or the need to ensure a sense of cleanliness from the FOH Team. At least the BOH Team plated decent looking and tasting food. read more

One of the first small businesses that we explored in Myrtle Beach and definitely a great introduction to the area! Nacho Hippo is located directly next to the free public parking garage in the area, so while the parking near the building is pretty minimal, it's less than a block's walk to make it to the restaurant itself. We didn't spend much time inside since we sat outside, but it seemed nicely decorated inside. Lots of Mexican and hippo-themed decorations. Outdoor area only had a couple tables, but considering there was a line out the door to get a table (on a holiday weekend), we were just happy to be in a quieter area. They have a neat fortune-cookie-like menu that's really unique. Was impressed. They have a plethora of different types of food - burritos, nachos, and more. The food itself was okay. The burritos tasted pretty tex-mex. It wasn't bad, but they didn't taste like "true" Mexican food - which is okay. The person who ordered quasadillas really liked them. I had the make-your-own-nachos order, and while the toppings were fantastic, the chips were really mediocre. If they replaced the nachos with a different type of nacho, I think they'd really have a winning dish there. We loved that they have $3 house margaritas all day, every day. Great price for that. They make their own in-house mix for them. However, after ordering 3, none of them tasted the same at all. It's possible they were just busy and did a bad job mixing, but I like to have some regularity when ordering something like that. The first one was very strong while the second was really sugary. The last one seemed to be a mix of strong and sugary. Our waitress was friendly. It was clear she was a bit overworked, but as she told us when she started serving, it was her third day of work, and she was doing a fantastic job of keeping our drinks filled and everything. Would say that she's doing an above-average job - and she was super friendly about it as well. Manager checked in to see how we were doing as well. Good experience. One of our favorite places we've gone to so far. Would definitely go back. read more
