So this place is currently #4 of 600+ restaurants in Myrtle Beach. It doesn't need me or anyone else to do it justice evidenced by the reviews and ranking....but WOW! This place was 1 of our absolute favorite meals. Good portion size, great service, high...quality food, and quirky but enjoyable atmosphere! Best Quesadilla my wife and I have ever had in our lives and the burrito was phenomenal as well. I recommend you make reservations, it is small and they get busy quick!!More

My daughters and I were glad to have walked off of the beaten path of the boardwalk in Myrtle Beach to find this gem of an eclectic restaurant. The servers were very friendly, and the portions were more than generous. The attention to detail was...noted, and they did not spare ingredients for the traditional Mexican dishes that we picked. Definitely worth a stop-by.More

We stopped here on recommendation from a Gold Cap Ambassador and we are so glad we did! This was the best meal and the best service we had during our vacation in Myrtle Beach. The owners prepare, cook and serve the drinks and food and...you can tell they enjoy what they do. The food was sooo flavor and fresh and the portions were huge. The margaritas were delicious as well. The only negative was that we didn't have dinner here until our last night in town!More

If I could give this place 10 stars - I would! Their quesadilla is mouthwatering good!!! With sautéed chicken and flowing cheese - this massive dinner entree is topped with fresh cut greens and sour cream. I am a feasted, and this met every check...in the block. Strongly recommend the guacamole appetizer too! I don’t think I’ve had a fresher guac!!!More

This is hands down the best Mexican food I have ever eaten!!!! You can tell everything is freshly made. The staff is very friendly. Just an amazing experience all the way around. The only thing that might be surprising is the price. The food is...expensive BUT totally worth it. They give you very large portions. This place is a little slice of heaven tucked away in downtown Myrtle Beach!More

We had dinner here with four adults. The cadillac margaritas were great. The guacamole was delicious. The entrees were generous, well prepared, wonderfully presented, unique and tasty. The portions were very large. One taco is enough for an entire meal - even for a hungry...big guy. The atmosphere is really nice and the lady who served us was very attentive and sincerely cared about our experience. Ask her about the art and you will be surprised at all the history behind each piece. This is small, local, independent, established and a good value for a great meal. It's not on the main drag - but we liked that about it as well. Just be careful about the clients at the Jamaican joint next door - they like to double park you in! Enjoy.More
