    So yummy!!!! The sampler and nachos were 5 stars. Great little place and fun atmosphere.

    Chips and salsa

    This place was a true treat! First off it doesn't look like much from the outside. It was a former fast food restaurant converted into what it is today. I was staying next door at the hotel and thought I could go for a meal and some drinks before calling it a night. Decent amount of seating for a small restaurant. Both inside and outside seating. It was slow so the I sat at the bar to watch the Monday night game and talk with the bartender and team. To my surprise they offered a small menu and small list of in-house drinks. Little did I know that this was intentionally done. How often do you go to a restaurant and they sell the same thing as the restaurant down the street. Probably same vendor to be honest. Not I Am Nacho Mama! After looking over them menu I found that the prices weren't the greatest but everything sounded fantastic. Now I will say the prices are reasonable for what you get, both in food and quality! They gave me some chips and salsa. Nothing fancy but was very tomato pasted based. Chips looked home made. I ended up getting the half chicken and let me make this clear. This thing was fall off the bone, seasoned through and through with a delicious dipping sauce. I mean I completely devoured this plate savoring every last bite. Presentation was beautiful but I have no idea why that gave me a knife. It was not needed! The sides were good by themselves but I was informed to pour out the second sauce on top to enhance the flavor and boy did it. I paired this with a jalapeño margarita that was just the right heat with a smooth finish. At the end of it all I had the pleasure of talking with the head chef and this guy has true passion for what he put out. Don't let the name fool you. It may scream Mexican restaurant but this is very much a modern take on every day foods with Hispanic food culture and he nailed it. I will be telling all my colleagues and friends that come around this area to stop by if they want something new and something wholesome.

    Our overall experience was excellent. My wife and I stopped at I Am Nacho Mama after reading the good reviews on Yelp. We were greeted warmly by staff and seated right away. We both ordered Mama Cuba sandwiches, the restaurant's take on a Cuban sandwich. It was spiced perfectly. The chips and salsa were excellent; the chips cooked in tallow. Yum. The service was great, too, and the owner even went table to table to check on us and chat a bit. We'll definitely be back.

    Reluctantly visited this restaurant only because there were not many options. We left absolutely satisfied and vowing to return. We all ordered a variety of tacos (steak, marinated chicken, and lechón) for lunch which were mouth watering delicious and made with fresh ingredients. I would love to visit for dinner when they fire up their outdoor grills. Service was very prompt and friendly and I liked that she gave us the background of the establishment and recommendations on our lunch options. I will be stopping in on my next trip through town.

    This is a hard review to write. I always try to be honest. So here goes- Here is what we liked: * The atmosphere was freaking fabulous. We sat outside and had a good time on the patio while a storm rolled in. Became a bit of a storm and moved to the bar. * we had a bunch of drinks and the bartender took absolute care in the creation of the cocktails. * Sat at the bar with the Mrs Owner and everyone felt like family. *While outside the Mr Owner came out to check on us during the storm and again while we sat at the bar. *The empanadas were delicious. *The chicken on the nachos were flavorful. *Check out the grill on the patio- look like an old truck. What could of been better- *The margaritas- let's be honest a good margarita can make or break a visit and this was just ok. However the other drinks were amazing. *Chips and salsa- they have a weird cut to their chips, like a strip. And the salsa not good. A sweet tomato sauce at best-maybe best with pasta? *The Corn elote was a sad reminder of corn and just not good. *While the chicken on the nachos was flavorful, it was cold. Overall our party of 4 had an amazing time and would totally go back. However the food was just average.

    Stopped at an exit while traveling North on 95 near Brunswick, GA. There were all kinds of national chains but a local place stood out as a must visit "I'm Nacho Mama". While my wife had doubts, we stopped anyway. Inside and out, a fun place with outdoor seating and indoor bar. Service was excellent and the food terrific. The menu was extensive and we got street tacos stuffed with so many goodies the corn shell could hardly hold everything. My wife got the trio of empanadas filled with shrimp, beef and chicken. The rum soaked flan sounded great but I had to get it to go. Overall a terrific experience and I would definitely return and recommend!

    We stumbled along Nacho Mama while I was driving, I saw the sign and told the wife let's stop and grab some goodies for the kiddos. So happy we did the establishment is family owned everyone is very friendly. The service was top tier and they were packed for a Friday night and the chief was legit and very attentive. The door was delish I had the holy trinity and let me tell you it was delish! I paired it with the empanada red cream sauce and sheeesh I did a lil dance. The wife and daughter had the chicken nachos and they both were in a food coma afterwards. The vibe of the place is lovely walk into the store with a scripture on the mirror daily which is a breath of fresh hair for me. The shrimp empanadas was great, however they didn't have many shrimp inside, but the flaky crust was delish!

    This restaurant is right next to the hotel I stayed in recently. I wasn't sure what to expect but I was more than pleasantly surprised!! As I walked over you could smell the chicken and beef being cooked on the grill:smoker. When I walked in I was greeted so warmly, by the owner I think. I ordered the chicken nachos and the lime turmeric rice to go and it was ALL delicious!!! Will definitely go back the next time I'm in town and will encourage everyone to give it a go!!

    The interior was charming and had Bible verses all around. The quesadillas had high-quality cheese with a great cheese pull. The pico de gallo, rice, and beans in my bowl were incredibly flavorful and rich--honestly, the best I've ever had. The guacamole and salsa were also excellent, fresh and full of flavor. The staff were friendly and attentive. I really love the use of beef tallow, not seed oils! The family owned restaurant seem to really care about its customers and their health. Will definitely be back the next time i am passing through!

    This place was a find!! Absolutely delicious!! We were greeted upon arrival and sat right away. All of the staff are friendly and so welcoming. The owner There is plenty of seating, a bar and outdoor/patio seating as well. The restaurant has a casual/charming vibe. Our server brought chips & salsa to our table right away. The menu for lunch isn't huge but there are plenty of options and they all sound delightful! The street taco meal is a 10 out of 10! The tacos- choice of 3 were absolutely perfect!! The flavor!! I couldn't begin to choose a favorite taco, I chose 3 different ones and I'm glad I did. The chips and queso is a must- so good! The cheese quesadilla was great! If you are in the area it's worth a stop and if you aren't- find your way here!! Everything is amazing!! Definitely want to come back for dinner!!

Service at the bar was great. Food arrived faster than expected, but I had also got there as their night was winding down. My friends and I were originally going to eat here for Cinco de Mayo, but when I got there at 6:45, I was told it would be a 3.5 hour wait. They had a DJ outside pumping out fast and upbeat music for the party and an outside margarita stand for grab and go drinks. When I arrived back just after 9, I had told them to take us off the list. She informed me that they tried calling me. Nothing came through on my phone, but she did show her call log and sure enough, it showed they called me around 8:20. My friends and I probably would have stayed to eat here originally had we been given a more realistic wait time guesstimate. An hour and a half wait vs 3.5 hours is much more feasible. Oh well. I'm sure I'll be back in the future. I've always enjoyed Anejo.

We ordered a couple different margaritas. They have a lot of margaritas to offer, but not a good menu with the details. The margarita menu just lists a bunch of different flavors.

My husband got the house margarita and he was not a fan. Tasted too much like sour mix. I got the cucumber margarita next, and it was just ok. Tasted too much like a regular margarita with a cucumber on the side. Chips and salsa were served right away, and the chips were nice and warm. The salsa was ok. Kind of thin/watery and it didn't have much of a flavor. We ordered the street corn, which has a completely different photo on the website. However, it was really delicious, so no complaints. I would definitely get that again. We split the Aztex tacos for lunch, which comes with 3 tacos and rice and beans. Everything was very good!

My mom has always enjoyed Lola's Burrito & Burger Joint since they first opened and my daughter was craving their empanadas. Today's meal: Mom ordered a beef empanada (by suggestion of her granddaughter) and a side order of black beans (she's always loved black beans). My daughter, of course, order a beef empanada as well with a Mexican Street Corn on the side. Her two favorite items from here. She will literally get this every single time we come. I've been craving burgers, especially since all the fast food CEO's are "fighting" over who has the crappiest, I mean best, burger. I've never had a burger from Lola's before so today I chose the Ragin Cajun burger and I loved it. I do prefer a smash burger, but Lola's patty is a thick and juicy patty cooked to your likeness (I chose medium). Topped with bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and a Cajun ranch dressing. This burger was delicious. I have my favorite burgers in Jax, and this can sit in that top 5 for sure. I will definitely be more open to trying other burgers from their menu in the future, but generally speaking, if you don't know, I'm addicted to tacos and tacos are usually my "goto" here. If you haven't had a burger from Lola's and enjoy a nice beefy patty, highly recommend giving them a shot. They have a variety of different ones to choose from. Oh! I almost forgot... the French fries! I usually get chips and queso here, but opted for a side of fries today and man, their fries are great! They use the same seasoning that comes on their chips on the fries and they were cooked and seasoned perfectly and then topped with some parmesan cheese. Good stuff!
