Mexican restaurant North Myrtle Beach

The original

El Cerro since 1991.

Every El Cerro location traces back to this one. In October 1991, Ricardo, Salvador, and Eriberto opened the doors on Highway 17 North with a simple idea: bring the Grand Strand a true taste of Mexico, made fresh, served family-style. More than three decades later, our North Myrtle Beach restaurant is still where it started — sizzling fajitas straight off the mesquite grill, guacamole mashed tableside to order, and a margarita list built around our own exclusive Patron tequila.

Whether you're a longtime regular or trying El Cerro for the first time, our North Myrtle Beach team serves lunch and dinner daily, with happy hour specials on food and drinks every day from 4-7pm. It's a favorite stop for families near Cherry Grove and Windy Hill, golfers finishing a round nearby, and vacationers looking for real Mexican flavor a short drive from the beach.
