YUMMY - Margarita's, Nachos, Natty Boh – Its been my favorite place for YEARS.... Meghann's margariti hubcap puts a silly grin on my face. My husband couldn't survive without the Nawlins Shrimp - which I can't recreate at home. The kids love the cheese quesidilla but take off those tomato's. Journey at 10pm
Nightmare Mama's – I have no idea if the food is good, my girlfriend and I didn't have time to taste it since we got kicked out of the place before even ordering, the reason: foreigner ID aren't acceptable !!! The waitress and the manager were rude and stupid, I am sure we didn't miss anything. Discrimination is served everyday...
Don't buy into the hype – this restaurant has a very rude and uptight staff. this is baltimore! we are a genial, hospitable people. food is overpriced and frankly this place IS NOT worth the wait, price, or enduring the wait staff's and manager's sour dispositions.
ANYWHERE BUT THERE! – To make a long story short: waitress was in a really bad mood and started being incredibly rude when we arrived, a party of 8 for the 30th birthday of a friend. We were too of a good mood to pay attention to her behavior until she asked for IDs that we presented to her: some of us had foreigner IDs or even passports, all being official and indicating we were over 21 (we were there for a 30th birthday for God?s sake!) She refused to serve us! We tried to talk to her, it didn?t work. It was clear she just... read more
delicious quesadillas, but do NOT get the fish taco! – i have been to nacho mama's countless times, and always enjoy it, mostly due to the hubcap margarita and quesdaillas that are always delicious, no matter which of the combinations you choose (FYI, the shrimp and black bean is the best choice). just do not get the fish taco. i decided to venture off of my normal quesadilla trail, and was thoroughly disappointed. the tuna was fishy and overcooked. however, i recommend nacho mama's to anyone who can appreciate some good foo... read more
Best Quesadillas In Baltimore!!! – I've eaten at this place or got delivery once a week for the past ten years and the quesadillas are always the best! I wish they would bring back the blue cheese steak! FYI there usually a long wait on the weekends but you can get the same food delivered to your house.
Nacho best Mexican by a long shot – This place was far from authentic and not even good for imitation suburban Mexican food. Overpriced for the salty yet bland and "is that a quesadilla?" quality of the food, Nacho Mama's is probably a step down from the frozen stuff at Safeway. The fish taco came in a cardboard tortilla, the quesadilla was saltier than the forehead of the guy who made it, and a burrito for $14 is just plain shameful. Nachos were OK because you can't mess up nachos. I appreciated the Mexican imported beers, ... read more
Best seafood in the city! – This is my first time writing a review. And I never take the time to do these things, but I have to say that Mama's on the Half Shell is AWESOME! My husband invests in Real Estate in B-more (we're from Germantown, MD) so every time we go visit his properties, I make him take me to Mama's. The Fish & Chips are amazing--that's what my husband gets. And it's a huge portion, so we often have to take 1/2 home. I'm sorry to say that I've only gotten one thing there--and I LOVE IT--it's the Seafood Melt.... read more
What happend to their wings? – Let me be be specific... this review is only about their wings... which used to be the best around. However, in the past couple of months, they went from great to inedible. The last 3 times I ordered them, they were so over cooked, they were dry, brittle and tasted horrible. In fact, I had to throw them away. I kept thinking it was a fluke... no such luck. They are off my list for good!
