Mexican restaurants for Cinco de Mayo in the Myrtle Beach area, according to travel sites
“(It’s) is going to be a fiesta party,” said Fiesta Mexicana Restaurant Manager Manny Espinoza.
Indeed, a festive weekend is fast approaching in the Myrtle Beach area.
Cinco de Mayo, an annual celebration of the Mexican army’s victory over the French army May 5, 1862, is in a week. Many Myrtle Beach area locals and visitors will want to mark the occasion with a trip to a Mexican restaurant.
While some may have their favorite place, many visitors might need to find a good eatery to go to. There are many options up and down the Grand Strand for interested parties, and rating websites like Tripadvisor and Yelp provide rankings of restaurants. According to Tripadvisor and Yelp, these were the best Mexican restaurants:
Sun City Cafe at 801 Main St. in Myrtle Beach
