“(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:

Tripadvisor

Sun City Cafe at 801 Main St. in Myrtle Beach
Fiesta Mexicana at 410 70th Ave North in Myrtle Beach
Margaritas Mexican Restaurant at 9906 North Kings Highway in Myrtle Beach
Señor Frog’s at 1304 Celebrity Circle at Broadway at the Beach
Abuelo’s Mexican Restaurant at 740 Coastal Grand Circle in Myrtle Beach

Yelp

La Poblanita Restaurant at 311 Highway 15 in Myrtle Beach
Fiesta Mexicana at 410 70th Ave North in Myrtle Beach
El Cerro Mexican Bar & Grill at 1002 29th Ave North in Myrtle Beach
Chile Frito at 4022 River Oaks Drive in Myrtle Beach
De Mayo Mexican Restaurant at 603 South Kings Highway in Myrtle Beach

Many of the recommended restaurants will have specials for the holiday. Espinoza said Fiesta Mexicana will have Happy Hour from 4-7 p.m. and live music from 11-11 p.m. for Cinco de Mayo. A first-come, first-serve eatery, Espinoza said the restaurant is also offering a two-shot for $12 special.

Margaritas will also have specials, Manager Felipe Onate said. He added Happy Hour will be all day from 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., with $4 imported beers, lime margaritas and $3 domestic drafts.

However, not all top-recommended eateries will be open. Tracey Boyle with Sun City Cafe said the eatery will be closed for Cinco de Mayo, as it is closed on Sundays.

Low-budget Chinese travellers highlight shift in Hong Kong tourism
Cost-conscious Chinese tourists have replaced many of the cash-rich mainland travellers who once flocked to Hong Kong, with some only interested in free walking tours of the city and staying across the border in Shenzhen overnight to save money. During China's Labour Day holiday last week, Laura Li, 28, and her cousin Diego Deng, 20, from northeastern Liaoning province, were among the younger visitors to Hong Kong who preferred to follow walking guides on social media rather than join tour groups or shop in luxury stores. The Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu, also known as Little Red Book, is the must-have app for China's Generation Z - the 280 million people born between 1995 and 2010 - to explore Hong Kong neighbourhoods and offers travel tips to tourists.
