Where to Get the Best Tacos in Myrtle Beach

There is no denying that Myrtle Beach has some of the best food places on the East Coast. From fine dining and buffets to delicious brunch options, we have a little bit of everything. But sometimes those great foods taste even better with a splash of Mexican seasoning and wrapped in a taco shell.

After all, who doesn’t love a taco and a side of guac?

If your mouth is watering just like mine is simply thinking about a plate of tacos, we’ve got you covered here. These are the best tacos in Myrtle Beach that’ll keep you and your taste buds happy.

Nacho Hippo

• Address: 1160 Farrow Pkwy, Myrtle Beach
• Price Point: $$
• Must-Try Taco: Baja Grilled Fish Taco or Gringo Taco

Offering a variety of specialty tacos, Nacho Hippo in Market Common has a taco for everyone. Here you can enjoy spins on classic tacos that you won’t see on menus anywhere else.

If not everyone in your group is as excited as you are about getting your fill of tacos, Nacho Hippo is well-known for their nachos (as their name insists) so you won’t go wrong with a heaping plate of chips and toppings.

The portion sizes are generous here so it’s best to come hungry but do know that they don’t take reservations so if you come for dinner with a large group, you might have to wait for a table. They do offer inside and outdoor seating though so on a nice evening, the wait moves quickly.

Located right on the water, Moe Moon’s isn’t your typical taco spot but trust us, they’ve got an incredible list of “Tourista Tacos” that we love. Plus, when you dine here you get an extra fun atmosphere to match the great food.

This family-friendly beach restaurant offers guests a great view of the ocean from their outdoor patio along the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk. Grab a bite while walking the Boardwalk or take a taco break from the beach at Moe Moon’s.

While they do serve margaritas, Moe Moon’s is famous for their cocktails served in fishbowls and pineapples. We recommend you try one of those along with your meal for a true experience.

If you’re looking for authentic Mexican drinks, the margaritas and other tequila cocktails won’t disappoint. Keep in mind that if you choose to dine here for lunch, they have a few really great lunch specials but the most popular is the Enchilada & Taco.

Como en Casa means “like at home” and that’s exactly what you’ll get when you eat here. The tacos and rest of the menu are handmade to order, just like you would get if you ate if you were invited to the home of an abuela that really knew how to cook.

You won’t feel as though you’re in South Carolina anymore when eating here. This no frills restaurant focuses on what really matters: the food. Their fresh corn tortillas and authentic ingredients makes this restaurant a local favorite year after year.

Tu Taco is a fast-food joint but don’t let that fool you - they still serve some of the best tacos in Myrtle Beach. Here they focus on Mexican-style street food so, if you’ve ever been to Mexico you know that means the tacos will be packed with flavor yet minimal ingredients.

Note that Tu Taco is closed on Mondays so plan for your own Taco Tuesday here.

Want to enjoy your taco with an oceanfront view? Banditos is a great option! Plus, with the largest selection of tequila in all of Myrtle Beach, you’re in for a good drink alongside your meal.

You’re just steps away from the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Promenade here so we recommend planning your meal here either before or after you’ve explored all the fun attractions this part of town offers.

If you’re gluten-free, fear not, you can order your tacos on their corn tortillas. While we’re fans of their namesake taco, they have plenty of taco fillings to choose from with carnitas and short rib as other fan favorites.

While Taco Mundo offers a few classics, they really shine in unique pairings and tacos you won’t find on any other menu. If you’re dining with a group that all has a hankering for tacos, try their “Tacos for the Table” offer.

Although there are plenty of great restaurants in Barefoot Landing, Taco Mundo is one of the best.
