Great Place – It's a charming little spot. Full of live Atmosphere. The Food is outstanding. Being a cater I am no critical of food, I could not find one flaw in this place. The Food was beyond great. That macaroni and cheese is to die for. I have never tasted a cesar dressing with such a lasting flavor.
It's Fun, Hon! – Go for the booze and the decor. Have a little fun. Get the nachos in a hub cap and relax. It's fun! It's Baltimore, Hon!
Best Secret In Baltimore – My wife and I recently paid our second visit to Mama's and there could not have been a more pleasant place to toast her happy last appointment at Johns Hopkins Hospital. We chose a quiet corner in the late Fall afternoon by the fireplace with a view of Canton Square. Our server was quietly charming and accommodating. My wife shared my unbelievably heaping bowl of delcious Prince Edward Island Mussels in white wine, herb & garlic sauce, served with fresh baked bread. We sopped ALL of the sauce! She ... read more
Awful food, OK as a bar – We ordered spinach and mushroom quesadillas on a Saturday afternoon – they were awful, huge clumps of frozen spinach, sour mushrooms, burnt tortillas. I would highly recommend staying away from the food, and just consider this a bar…
Great crab cakes, mac-cheese, and garden salad with homemade dressing. – I went two weeks ago with a group of friends..seven of us. They start you off with cheese and crackers. sSeveral of us orderd the crab cake, garden salad with the dressing, and mac-n-cheese. It was great! I cleared my plate. The drink of Malibu Rum and pineapple juice..needs more rum..but in a nice size glass. I enjoyed the atmosphere..steep steps and small restaurant, but overall great atmosphere. I enjoyed myself last week, that I returned the followi... read more
Food and staff are #1!! – Nacho mamas has the best Mexican food in Baltimore. Their nawlins shrimp rocks and meg deleware dave and the rest of the staff rock! Sorry if you got bounced cuz you are a foreigner. Proper ID required for drinks not food! Love nachos and mamas on the half shell
Needs New Chef! – This place has gone way downhill. I used to like the food here, but the last time I was there the food was awful. An enchilada should not have BBQ sauce in it and it should have some cheese.
Don't waste your time – I have never eaten at Nacho Mamas because I was treated horribly as soon as I walked through the door. The "hostess" would not seat us unless our entire party was there. There were 4 of us there and were waiting for 2 people. We were EXTREMELY rudely told if anyone came late they would not be served. One of my friends with me already did not want to go there due to his past negative experience with the staff. We will never try to deal with this establishment again and warn everyone to do the same.
Best crabcakes in the US! – I was in Maryland a couple of years ago and I made it to Mama's twice. Each time I had the crab cakes and they were the best ever! I've had cakes from all over, and I can't wait to get back. Great atmosphere, especially when there's a Steelers and Ravens game on.
