Banditos Cantina offers a vibrant atmosphere with stunning ocean views, though some customers noted the food is more Tex-Mex than authentic Mexican cuisine.

" My experience at Banditos was mixed. The location is perfect, right by the beach, which is a huge draw. However, I found the food lacking in authenticity; it felt more like Tex-Mex than traditional Mexican cuisine. My fajitas were tasty but not what I expected. Service was attentive, and the drinks were a highlight. Overall, I think it’s worth a visit, just keep your expectations about authenticity in check. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m really particular about my Mexican food, and while Banditos has a cute atmosphere, I’d say it leans more towards Tex-Mex. The fish tacos were decent but didn’t taste as authentic as I would like them to. The view made up for it though! Service was solid throughout our meal, and I do appreciate the extensive drink menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what a venue! The ocean view is breathtaking! I ordered the nachos and they were great, completely loaded! One issue is that they charge for extra salsa, which seemed a bit odd. Our server was knowledgeable and super friendly. The ambiance was fun. A perfect place for a summer evening dinner. I would definitely recommend Banditos to anyone visiting Myrtle Beach. " (*Curated Review*)

" Banditos offers a fantastic beachside view that makes for a memorable dining experience. I ordered the steak burrito, and while it was good, I found it to be a bit on the pricier side for the portion size. The service was decent, but it felt a little rushed at times. I don't know if I would return immediately, but it's a nice spot to take visitors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely evening at Banditos! The margaritas were refreshing, and I could see myself enjoying them every weekend. The portion sizes were perfect for my appetite. I tried their famous tacos and they were indeed worth the trip. Sat by the window with a beautiful view of the ocean! I’ll definitely be back again for dinner soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, this restaurant is amazing! The ambiance is on point and makes for great family gatherings. I ordered the Bandito margarita; it was super refreshing. My entrees were filling, but I felt the flavors could be enhanced. The view from the patio is sheer beauty. I plan to visit again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" We stopped by Banditos for dinner and enjoyed every minute. The view of the ocean was simply stunning at sunset! I loved their guacamole with chips but wished the portions were bigger. The service was attentive and made us feel welcomed. Overall, a great place to visit for casual dining. " (*Curated Review*)
