The Most Unusual Mexican Restaurant In South Carolina Has Food So Good You’ll Be Back Again

Sun City Cafe in Myrtle Beach offers a unique dining experience with flavorful Mexican-infused food and vibrant decor.

If there is one thing true food connoisseurs know, it's that you simply can't judge a restaurant by its exterior - and that couldn't be more accurate when summing up pretty much every nuance of the Sun City Cafe located right on Main Street and only steps from the famous Sky Wheel on the Grand Strand. Any trip to Myrtle Beach deserves to begin and end with a visit to this unassuming eatery that dishes up flavorful Mexican-infused food and over-the-top fun.

Standing or passing by Sun City Cafe, you may get a sense that it's just another restaurant — but you'd be oh-so wrong.

The white exterior, coupled with the everyday green awning and trim, don't exactly tell the whole store of what's waiting inside.

In addition to flavorful comfort food like burritos, tacos, chips & salsa...

...the decor is as much of a treat for the senses as is the food! Brightly colored walls and tastefully curated whimsical artwork make what you find inside Sun City as unexpectedly awesome as possible.

Unless... you arrive after dark!

Once the sun sets on the Grand Strand, it's next to impossible to pass by Sun City Cafe without at least a curious look through the windows at the explosion of fun that beams out into the street.

Deliciously quirky colorful confetti and flowers hang from the ceiling, and different hues of light spill through the space.

And the food matches the decor! From the brightly-colored plates to the carefully crafted food, Sun City goes the extra mile to make everything from the food to the decor as over-the-top as possible.

Although not officially branded as an exclusively Mexican restaurant, Sun City's menu features many favorites from south of the border.

Don't pass up the chance to add a side of Holy Guacamole to any entree. You'll find everything from fish tacos to burritos stuffed with goodness on this eclectic menu. If you're not sure what to order, just get the Old School Burrito... it's delish!

Whether you visit in the daylight or after the sun goes down, Sun City Cafe is a delight for all of the senses.
