Shane was absolutely amazing. We were sitting outdoors in the cold and he was able to move us back inside! There were 13 of us and he kept up with everything all evening. Food was great as well. read more

Nacho Hippo is one of those places that surprises your tastebuds and gives you a full sensory experience no one was expecting! We have visited serval locations and I am continually surprised every time, even foods I don't normally enjoy (like pineapple) are combined and prepared in surprising and delicious ways that make them not just tolerable but mouthwatering. I never know quite what to expect when I'm ordering because the food is so unique, but I have never gotten anything that didn't amaze me! The chips are delicious toooo! The service was amazing, quick and friendly, the atmosphere is colorful and beautiful with good lighting and seating. The paint, bright colors and touches of that beachside culture really make this place a Joy to visit. We will be back! 100% The only critique I have with all of the restaurants in this little group- is the fries could be better. They are bland and not crispy or anything special. They don't have you reaching for more. But it doesn't matter because I'm not here for fries I'm here for the unique good stuff! We ordered several taco variations- all delish. The souvenir cups are amazing toooo!! read more

We've passed this place a hundred times and finally decided to stop in, and I'm glad we did. Even during a super busy lunch rush, the service was fast and our waitress was absolutely on it. The food was amazing and you definitely get your bang for your buck. The portions were HUGE. The complimentary salsa was so good and fresh. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because our food was a little salty. That said, I'd much rather it be slightly too salty than not seasoned enough at all. Overall, it was a great experience and totally worth finally trying. read more

Stopped in for a quick dinner. They have happy hour 4-7 and you can easily make a meal off of that. I enjoyed two of the $5 margaritas which were served in a pint glass with plenty of salt. The bartender was around the whole time if you needed anything. The menu is large and I went with one of the nacho platters which was enough for two. I wish it had jalapeños on it but maybe next time. The place is nicely decorated with a few TVs to watch sports. Would definitely try again. read more

Best Nachos in the USA! They have so many options. My husband and I love the shrimp nachos! Their margaritas are an added bonus! read more

What are my thoughts on this place? Nach yo business you poodle poppers and definitely nach yo business to the wanna be rhymer Nick P. Guy doesn't know a rhyme from a crime. Guy doesn't know a taco from my pet mule Paco. Guy doesn't know a quesadilla from an amardillo. Guy didn't know a burrito from his unclipped big toe. Guy doesn't know a churro from Joe Burrow. Who is this guy and who let him on Yelp? Anyways... Nacho Hippo sogs very quickly. Doesn't travel very well. Tastes a bit like hippo jerky. Conspiracy?? Tough protein. And I'm a tough guy, so I would know. If I try again and like it more, I will update my score from poor to okay enough to play. Thanks govenaaaa. Nick P, more like Nick Poop. Ha. read more

Nothing special about the food. The bathroom is outside the restaurant so that not convenient. The waiter was nice but he didn't seem to care about his clothes or hair which made him looked "unclean" and he forgot a couple things like the sour cream or the pico we ordered extra. 2 of us (out of 4) got sick a couple hours later so we will no go back. read more

One of my favorite places in North Myrtle Beach!! Always go here at least twice!! You'll never find a better place for personal nachos!! The street corn options are always so good too!! Service is great. Theres usually a long wait in the summer but all other seasons you should be able to get a table pretty quickly. Also, many tvs to enjoy whatever sport is on!! read more

This was our first time visiting Nacho Hippo. We were on a "date night" while my parents kept my toddler at the beach house. We arrived and every chair around the live music area was full, and when our turn arrived to put our name on the list, the hostess told us it was an hour wait-or we could sit at the bar and be served immediately. We opted to sit at the bar. The two bartenders did a phenomenal job of serving drinks to walk-up guests who were grabbing drinks and water as they waited, as well as waiting on us who were seated in their area ordering food. Since we were at the bar, I noticed it was happy hour and there were drink specials as well as $5 bar foods only available at the bar-fun perk! We ordered some cheesy nachos (I can't remember the exact name) and they looked like homemade nachos, but upon eating them, they had shredded melted cheese on top as well as queso in between the layers. So yummy to munch on while we waited on our food. I ordered a chicken chimichanga of some sort and it was humongous and came on a bed of fries. I would have preferred a bed of rice, but never fear-it was loaded with rice that had exceptional flavor! I could only eat half-because it was huge. We also left with several of their souvenir cups from our meal and virgin daiquiri that I ordered. The only thing I didn't love was as the sun went down, they opened the windows/walls and it became super open inside. The live music was also incredibly loud and it was hard to have a conversation because the lady singing was being piped in the restaurant and it overpowered us speaking. It was a fun experience and if we can get in quickly again, we will definitely be back! read more

We have been here before and had great experiences. Today, I immediately noticed how the parking lot was 75 pct empty. Great!! That means no wait. Wrong! Horrible customer service. We were seated outside and waited over 15 minutes. Nobody ever said one word to us after we were seated. Even the server that walked by to close out the table right beside us said nothing. Have y'all been helped? Nothing. So, we decided to leave. I informed the hostess on the way out. It was clear she did not care. I'm not sure who was standing beside her, but she had a horrible attitude and clearly did not care either. Attention owner, get that corrected or your parking lot will continue to be 75 pct empty. read more

Our family went here for lunch. Very colorful atmosphere. Friendly attentive service and nice menu. We ordered some guacamole, taco salads, taco platter, burritos, quesadilla, fried chicken sandwich and a side of French fries. All tasty, good portions, presented nicely. The guacamole had a soupy texture, the fries very spicey. The salads were good as well as the other dishes we ordered. Food plated nicely, and prices on par for the area. Everything was very basic and good although some of the dishes we ordered were not as good as we have had from other Mexican restaurants. read more

Nacho Hippo - Food !!!!!! Cottonmouth relief!!! - Mexican Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

I wish we had one of these in Atlanta! We came 2x and had a great experience both times (even when they were very busy with a 45-minute wait). Santenia was an excellent server! The nacho guy was new and made a mistake and he offered to have it remade but we were fine with him just bringing a side of cheese. The nachos were huge (enough to share) & at a great price! The strawberry mojito was delicious! The live music was good without being too loud. We also came on Taco Tuesday and enjoyed some tacos. They were very full. Many places like to only give you 2 shrimp on shrimp tacos but this one was loaded. I loved the staff tie-dye shirts too!! read more

Me and my wife eat out a lot. I mean a lot. This was one of the absolute worst meals I've ever had. It was so, so bad. The smash burger tacos sounded good but that's about it. They consisted of tortilla shells that were grilled with cheese on them. Each one had what looked like a thin frozen burger patty that was dry. One had a tangled mess of bacon with barbecue sauce. The other had the same lame patty with some raw bell peppers and a nacho chip broke in half with cheese sauces drizzled on it. I took one bite of each and that's 2 bites too many. Everything about these smash burger tacos was a mess. Btw they were $16. The waitress asked if everything was good and I couldn't lie so I said I couldn't eat them. She didn't seem surprised. The $16 was taken off our bill. My wife got the signature hippo nachos and they were mediocre at best. I know because we shared them instead of me getting anything else. It was a lot of nacho chips with mostly shredded lettuce and a little bit of chicken, cheese, and ground beef. Definitely not worth $15. My sprite wasn't even good. I don't know if this is par for the course or if it was just a bad day in the kitchen. Our waitress was very nice but the food was horrendous. read more

Nacho Hippo - Tacos! - Mexican Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

We stopped here for lunch and it was perfection. THEIR SALSA!!! Oh my, the chips and salsa. I cannot say enough. My husband got the pork nachos and there was soooo much meat on there. Usually nachos are skimpy on the meat but these are not. I got the fish taco and it was stellar. My son did a surf and turf bowl and it was really filling. A great little spot kind of hidden away and it was so delicious. read more

What a fun place!!! We were so glad we stopped in. It's a super fun atmosphere with excellent service. We got a chimichanga and one of the shareable nachos. Both were excellent and very generous in the fillings and toppings. We definitely feel like we got our money's worth. This time, we didn't get any drinks, there were so many to choose from! Highly recommend. read more

The food was wet and had no flavor. My soft taco was literally wet and the chicken looked like it was from a can. Also, there was a waitress who was emptying the cups on the outside patio that customers did not drink! Unsanitary and super not appetizing ! We will not be back nor recommend. This place took casual to an entire different level. read more

Nacho Hippo - Patio area where the partially drank items were being discarded. - Mexican Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

The food at Nacho Hippo was actually pretty good flavorful, fresh, and fun menu options. We enjoyed the variety and the portion sizes were solid. Unfortunately, the service didn't quite match the quality of the food. Our waitress wasn't very friendly, which took away from the overall vibe. Also, the restaurant itself felt a little messy -- the floors and tables could've used a good wipe-down. It has potential to be a really great spot if the service and cleanliness were given a little more attention. read more

Great tacos for happy hour and drinks. I had some of the fish tacos and Philly steak and it was mild spicy and flavorful.

Rice was not cooked. Almost broke my tooth. Margarita was bland and glass sticky/dirty. Food was marginal. Shoes stuck to bathroom floor

Nacho Hippo was a cool place to be. I recommend going when it is nice outside. The wait to get in was over an hour. The restaurant inside was pretty small. When we went it was raining, so waiting an hour was uncomfortable because majority of their waiting area is uncovered outside. My kids are 4 and 2, we ordered the corn dog and fries. Their fries have seasoning on them which were a little spicy for kids. If you have picky kids I recommend not eating the fries or asking for a replacement. The margaritas were super tasty! I recommend the Paradise Margarita. They had a lot of drink options. The chips and salsa are very good and their food has a lot of flavor to them. Overall, we liked the food but had a few disappointments along the way. read more

One of my besties wanted to try Nacho Hippo as her birthday dinner, so we roadtripped it down from Wilmington one evening. When we arrived, the wait was over 2 hours for a table, inside or out. Thankfully, there were magically 3 bar seats available, just enough for our little group! The bartender was super nice, the drinks were very tasty, and the menu looked awesome! We were all super hungry so we each ordered different nacho plates. They came piled HIGH with toppings and cheese! While you can get better nachos at other places, these were decent, and the experience was fun. Would I roadtrip back down for this? No. Was it fun for her birthday? Definitely. There's a fun courtyard in the front with music and cornhole too to help pass the wait time. read more

my husband has an ada certified service dog, the hostess asked if the dog was a service dog we said yes, as she is going to seat us a waitress tells the hostess dogs have to be seated outside, she replied it's a service dog, fine if you're gonna get your panties in a bunch not worth causing a scene we'll sit outside, said waitress ended us being our waitress and when she came to the table I told her the dog is a real service dog, she said well we seat all dogs outside. then when paying we had a $5 off coupon from the local coupon books, when I got the check I asked to see it she wouldn't let me see it untl I told her how I was paying, I then said I gave you a $5 off coupon and you only took 4.20 off, she said I couldn't get the coupon to work so that what we took off. umm are you kidding me!!!! train your people! service was a joke. Not somewhere to go if you have a service dog read more

I got two tacos and turned it into a platter. The veg head and the bang bang shrimp tacos were great. I got veggies and beans on the side. The meal was about $13 so not bad. They also had house margaritas for $4. The bartender was serving also. They have an array of hot sauces to choose from. The only thing that I didn't like was the bathroom. You have to go outside to use it. We come here every year. Service is consistent. read more

Ordered the fish taco, food was good! It was a little bit spicy but the we enjoyed the food. We came in ordered and ended up getting it to go. Yes it's a "bar" but the loudest people were the kids. It was off putting to have kids that were yelling and banging on the medal wall decorations and worse that the parents didn't do anything. But it made the experience for other guests uncomfortable. Service was ok not outstanding. Go for the food, take it to go, and if you have kiddos remember you are not alone in this world.... read more

The outside is cute and inviting. With the bright colors from ousdie to the tables and chairs, it makes you drawn to this place. Sadly, that is about where it ends. Margaritas were well balanced and good. The food is not so much . Chili tasted like it was old and can from a can. It was in big globs like it was scooped cold.
