We've been here a zillion times. Sometimes eat in, sometimes drive thru. Strong points: 1- Flavor. Everything has decent flavor, they offer lots of salsas and sides. Smoke and char is there. Nothing is insipid or boring. 2- Selection. Lots of eats on the menu,...great mix of glass bottled (beer, soda, topo chico, etc) and fountain drinks.More

Ok so their queso and margaritas are good but their service is the worst. About a year ago, one of the employees decided to give themselves a $300 tip on my 30.00 bill. When I brought it to the attention of the owner, did she...not fail to apologize, of course it was an oversight but she told me her register was to old that it could not give refunds. Instead she gave me a paper gift card that someone at the counter would manually subtract the amount each time...huh its 2000. I decided to give them another chance since they are a small business and I had received a $75.00 gift card from a group of friends for helping with a COVID clinic. Who knew that this gift card expired. Funny not sure the $75.00 paid for the gift card disappeared from the owners bank. This is just bad business. I would avoid who knows what other scams are being run out of this place.More

This is a quick and easy place to eat some very well cooked Tex-Mex. It is always a busy place but the ordering process is simple. One of my favorites when I'm in the area.

Full of flavors and large portions. Authentic. Moved here nine years ago, and is easily our favorite in terms of food quality. Not fancy, but can be in and out in a hurry.

Wow, what an experience. I have eaten here hundreds of times over the years. The food has not been as good lately but still go because convenient and I thought they had good local owners. But I found out today the woman owner is a...very bad person. I came inside to order takeout as the drivethru is always very slow here. After waiting in line I was told no takeout inside. There was no sign anywhere that explained this. I probably could have gotten over this but the owner was so very rude. What an awful person. Plus she gave me some excuse about the health department but there was barely a mask in sight. I left without ordering and I will never go back.More

We had just about everything on the menu. We even got the margarita's. And do you know what? You can even get a Margarita at the drive thru.

I've been a fan of Nacho Mama's since they opened. They are the only place I've gone to eat, besides drive-thru, since early March 2020 (it is now Oct 13, 2020) but I'll not be going back. There is a sign on the door stating...Masks Required and the past few times I've gone it appeared everyone was following this. Tonight though the girl taking my order had her mask under her nose, a guy in kitchen had his mask below his chin. Then to top it all off the one of the owners, the wife, walks into the back of the restaurant with no mask, none, nada. Sorry John and Nancy everyone must follow the rulesMore

The food here is great. Authentic Tex-Mex. The delivery system is cafeteria style, fast service and keeps the price down. Friendly service pushes the scale over the top. Thanks for a great time!

Casual set up where you order at the counter, as well as throw away your plates after you’re done. Food is excellent. Full of flavor, and full size portions. Pricey for the set up, but the food makes it worth it.

We've been to Nacho Mama's countless times with other couples, and in the last few years, the place has just gone downhill. The food has gotten progressively worse, and the owner/manager/whoever she is running things behind the counter is downright rude. I ordered chips and...salsa (which they charge $4.50 for, BTW), and asked for an extra bowl for salsa from their salsa bar. I was told "You only get 2 bowls!" If you own the place and you're reading this, that's the kind of thing that makes people go elsewhere. Also, our food was slow to come out of the kitchen. When another couple in our group (who placed their order 15 minutes after we did) got their food, I asked about ours. I was told that my name had been called (it hadn't - we were sitting under a speaker for their PA system), and then was told that orders are called in the order they are ready, not the order they're placed. I get that, but there was this massive amount of attitude. It turns out that our orders were rung to go, and were sitting on a shelf somewhere getting cold. TL;DR: Go across the street to Hacienda. It's cheaper, the food is better, and they actually understand proper customer service.More

The food is truly delicious and they have a salsa bar. The interior is pretty rustic, but I imagine that it's designed to look like an authentic cantina.

If we didn’t love this place so much, we’d quit going. 3 of the last 3 visits had our order wrong. Tonight’s was missing chips and queso, last time was wrong meat on the salad, time before was wrong meal. Question for managers - is...it that hard to double check orders? Since it’s happening so often, please train your staff how to handle without making the customer feel in the wrong. And throwing in a soda or chips for the inconvenience of driving back or waiting would be nice.More

This is a very inconspicuous little family restaurant. The food is delicious, prices are good. It can be a little cramped inside, but they have a little overflow section. Definitely recommend you trying it.

Love the food. I have never had a bad meal here. The service is good also. Unfortunately the prices keep going up. They even charge for chips a small bag of a handful is $1.30. Also if you get an order to go you will...have to beg/fight to get some salsa to go. They have a nice salsa bar if you eat there but they really don't want to give you any to go. I don't know the owner can get any cheaper. They will probably start charging for water next. Also they keep begging you to pay in cash it becomes annoying.More
