A cool place – Nacho Mama's is a really awesome place. Not only do you get a great sense of hometown love, you can write on the bath room walls! Go Chalkboard paint! Its very unique and the food is great. I love the Ten Leaf Salad and the Quesadillas. They are also very affordable.
User review by dfkelly – The absolute BEST carry out pizza in Baltimore - staff accepting tips for "beer money!"
Great staff and food – Highly recommend the fresh catch of the day and the seafood chowder. Try a Mojito at the friendly and fun bar or ask Dilon to make you one of his specials. Fresh seafood, prof & friendly Staff and good music make this place easy to recommend.
disappointing for all the raves – mediocre food for 6 with few drinks $45pp. Calamari rubber bands. Overcooked angels on horseback and scallops too. Very oily overcooked crab cakes. Tilapia was apparently good with lobster hash (?). Too greasy. Creme brullee weak. Ice cold Irish brown ale, headless. Ugh.
Awesome – This place is the bomb-diggity. If you order the nachos, you will need a doggy bag. If your order fajitas, you will need a doggy bag. In fact, if you order nachos with the intention that they will only be an appetizer, you're screwed -- haha. They give you more bang for your buck. It's not a wide-open place, but they make up for it in grub and booze. If you're new to Baltimore you MUST at least try this place. If you like Mexican food you will not be disappointed.
Tasty food, fun atmosphere – The food here is pretty darned good and it is a fun place to eat. Hot sauces are in the medicine chests at the booths. Service is average to above average. Vegetarians be warned: the bartender once advised me that almost everything is cooked in lard, so be sure to ask before you order. As always, unless you go during an off-hour the parking in Canton stinks.
Nacho Mama's Rocks! – Not a native, but my sis moved to Canton a few years ago, and I am a die-hard Nacho's fan! If you love Elvis, Power Rock, and people-watching, this is the place to be....Where else can you get a quesadilla the size of a dinner plate, Natty Boh bottles for a buck and a quarter, and listen to the Journey Power hour at ten pm? Nowhere! Nacho's is my favorite Charm City destination!
Interesting – The dining area is farily small so you may have to wait. Being a vegetarian, I did not have a problem finding something to eat. The chips were good, but they could have put the salsa in a bigger container. The portions are generous. The way they distinguish btwn men's and women's restrooms was cute.
Elvis lives on in the spirit of this quirky Canton hangout. – The Scene This tiny Mexican eatery is a shrine to things gone but not forgotten--the Colts, Baltimore-brewed National Bohemian beer, a winning Orioles team and, of course, Elvis. A nearly life-sized statue of the King greets customers at the door. The multi-colored bulbs that dangle over the tables add to the funky ambience but do little to illuminate the memorabilia-crammed walls. Expect to wait for a table, but with margaritas served in hubcaps, time passes quic... read more
