41 Best Mexican Restaurants near Surfside Beach

“Best tacos in Myrtle Beach. I'm Latina and from California. I really have been missing my tacos. Tried every taco place that has been recommended and this place is the best in town. You'll love it too!“

“My son treated me to a wonderful lunch here. The food was excellent and I will be planing on coming here again.“

“I give El Cerro a 5 star. Great food, big portions and the waiter, Jonathan (S-5) was very friendly and helpful. We gave him a very generous tip. He deserved it!“

“Best meal we had our entire stay. The Birria beef tacos are fire! Wait staff friendly and efficient. The chef even came out to make sure we enjoyed our meal! Highly recommend!“

“As a family that loves Mexican cuisine, we have a blast visiting our local restaurants. Today we ran across this gem and it without a doubt is by far the best in the area! From the pleasant view of the waterfall out front and the warm greetings at the door, to the speedy and amazing staff, I promise you will not be disappointed. Our little one has autism and is therefore sensitive to loud music and bright lights, this place has the perfect tone. Low lighting and music that does not drown out your conversations. Moving on to the food, perfectly cooked and seasoned! I am not much for alcohol, certainly not margaritas. However, if I were offered one of theirs at each meal, I would not turn it away! If in the area, I encourage you to stop in and see for yourself! (This was not promoted for any other reason than to give credit where credit is due!)“

“I travel a lot through Central America and Mexico, every time I eat here I feel I am eating at the best of the countries I visit. Their pupusas are better than any I had in Central America, their tacos are beyond good and their flautas are amazing. I discovered this restaurant and 4 weeks ago and Ben there 4 times already.“

“Had take out tonight from La Taqueria El Quetzal in Murrells Inlet. It was fantastic. It’s a nice little restaurant. Very clean. The owners are very friendly. We had the chips and salsa, chicken quesadilla with rice and beans and the Taco Tostada Cancun (shrimp). All were excellent. We finished our meal off with the fried ice cream. Hmmmmm good. Great little place, you can eat in too if you prefer. We highly recommend it !!!! Support our local businesses!!“

Staff is always great, the atmosphere is relaxed and casual, the food is great and the drinks are very VERY good. No idea when I'll be back in town but my goodness I hope it's soon.“

“Mr. Beal took great pride in his work.“

“Food different than traditional American Mexican but flavors were awesome. At first it looks limited as far as dishes but the combinations of them with different meats and veggies gives you way more than a single visit. Staff was eager to assist. Will be visiting again to try more combinations. Also, the salsa bar has some of the best flavors especially the chipotle.“

“We ate here with a large party, including small children. The flooring, ceiling, and lighting were aesthetically pleasing. The restrooms were very clean and nice. The food was delicious. The salsa wasn’t quite as good as the local salsa in my hometown but still good. The guacamole though was probably the best I’ve had! It tasted freshly made and was just delicious. I ordered the Texansas A.C..P and split it with my child and we both enjoyed it. I would eat here again if in the area.

Parking: Plenty of spots behind the building if none are available in front.“

Refried beans and the queso dip is the best I’ve ever had! We will definitely be ordering from them again and hope to visit the restaurant soon in person as well!! Five ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Once you enter the place, see the setting and visualize the chef, you can begin to consider that the food is going to be good!

Incredible experience on the palate, we ordered cueritos and al pastor tacos (10 in total), a sope and Boing! as an accompanying drink. To highlight the juicy and well-seasoned meats, the fresh vegetables, I think they have their own garden. How delicious everything is!

We ordered two Cuban cakes to take away, the exquisite bread, as they told me, are the closest to what they prepare in Mexico. We paid the fair value, we had no problem with the attention, we hope it can always be that way.

Definitely a place to return to.“

“If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food in Myrtle Beach, El Rey Del Taco is the place to go! The service was impressively quick, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Every bite tasted authentic, from the tacos to the salsas, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh.

What really stood out was the value – the prices were incredibly reasonable for the quality and portions we received. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing something quick, this spot delivers. We will definitely be back soon. Highly recommend!“

“Don't pass this place by! Ate here twice while staying in Myrtle beach and both times the food was AWESOME ? If you like killer Nachos, Tacos and Huge Quesadillas, this is your your next stop ? Wish I had tried their frozen Margs, but definitely next time ?“

“Stumbled upon Señor Frog on a night out, and had so much fun! The DJ, MC, and staff were so friendly, and made the experience a 10/10!“

“Very good place. We got 3 empanadas for $10. The salsa that was given with the chips was the best I have ever tasted. We told the owner to bottle it up and start selling it. Totally recommend for everyone. We will be coming back and telling friends and family. Must try.???“
