"The food was good...I ate my soup and taco and the rest of my Husband's nachos."

"Enjoy a margarita before you fly out, good selection of beer and wines too."
5 Honestly the quality, service and overall atmosphere is fabulous. I wasn't sure what to expect from a airport Mexican restaurant but our experience was fabulous. Large portions , my son got chicken quesadilla, rice and bean. I got the loaded nacho fries, best pulled pork I ever ate. There was plenty to share!
5 Got into Myrtle Beach early before the rest of the girls attending a party, and Tamara was the best most inviting bar tender ever! I got some nachos and queso as an app and it was also delicious! Really enjoyed my time here!
5 Not bad for an airport restaurant. I felt like I got a good amount of food for the price. The staff was very friendly. Especially our waitress; she was so awesome and very nice. The food came out quickly. My wife ordered the French toast and liked it. I ordered the biscuits and gravy, with eggs and potatoes. The sausage gravy was a little watery, but not terrible, and it had a goof taste. The eggs and potatoes were good.
5 We ate the airport location. Food and service were outstanding. Not your typical airport food at all, this was delicious. Deb was our server and she was so friendly and patient.
4 The burrito was good. Id get it again. This is a nice place to relax while waiting for your flight. Outlets all around the bar which is very nice.
4 For a restaurant in an airport, it felt surprisingly not inside an airport. The seating area was nice and had space for us to put our luggage and there was space between the tables for the servers to move without tripping over bags and people. The nachos were huge and definitely enough for two people, the brownie was underwhelming at best. Drinks were insanely overpriced (because of course they are, it's an airport), but our waitress was friendly and attentive and did a fantastic job!
5 I got the buffalo wings and they were some of the best wings I've had in a long while. Got them extra wet for good measure. Went well with Airbrush Hazy IPA. Also our server Amanda K was very astute and got us everything we needed.
5 I dined with a party of 6. Everyone enjoyed the food. It is my friend’s favorite restaurant in town. They always eat here every time they visit. Everyone had Build Your Own Nachos. I have this every time we dine here. The portions are generous, however to me, it lacks a bit of flavor. But their chips are very crisp and our food is always delivered in a timely manner. There is a lot of seating here, including tables and bar tops outside. Most is the seats outside are in the shade if I remember correctly. There is a bar and televisions with sporting events. It can be a little warm inside during the summer, because they usually have the doors to the patio open. I must say that our server, Kenomi, was fantastic, super sweet and on top of everything. She didn’t miss a thing. She was very pleasant and kind. The restaurant was packed and she had several tables. I hope to see her the next time we dine here.
