Editorial Review for Nacho Mama's – by Laureen Miles Brunelli
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 quickly.
The Food
Nacho Mamas may never be confused with a genuine south-of-the-border cantina, but it serves huge portions of tasty Mexican-style comfort food, including over-sized burritos and sizzling fajitas. Creativity trumps authenticity here. The spinach salad's pungent bite of feta is tempered by smoky roasted red peppers and a smooth avocado vinaigrette. The creamy, jalapeno-spiked crab dip gives a nod to the homeland but packed with backfin crab, this treat's also got localization.

The ExtrasIf you can't stand to wait, all food can be delivered or carried out via Pizza & Wings Factory, the adjacent takeout pizza joint. But unlike Nacho Mama's, Pizza & Wings doesn't accept credit cards.

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 food at a cheap price.
Pros: quesadillas, hubcap margaritas
Cons: parking

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.
Pros: always good food, good service
Cons: parking
