Staying on Marco Island and we tried these folks twice. A bit of an off season, so they were not too busy. A nice restaurant with plenty of inside and outside seating. We were promptly greeted and seated. Server was prompt and the orders came out quickly. Food was good. A little hot sauce made it perfect. The quantity of food was amazing. Each time we came we had a different server and after the meals were delivered they pretty much disappeared. Not a real big problem but I really dislike sitting there after we are done just waiting on a check. read more

Had dinner at Nacho Mama's and it was a total win! We started with the queso appetizer and then I had the chicken fajitas. Both were absolutely delicious and hot! The service was incredibly fast. We were in and out in under an hour, which was perfect after a long day at the pool. Also loved the great prices on wine, making it an awesome value all around. Definitely a fun, quick, and tasty spot for casual Mexican food on the island! Will be coming back soon! read more

We thoroughly liked this Mexican restaurant. The waitress was very attentive and nice. The food was spot on good. Highly recommended. read more

We recently visited Nacho Mama's with a party of eight. On the positive side, we were seated quickly, our server was friendly, funny, and attentive, and our food came out surprisingly fast. The restaurant itself also appeared clean and had a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food just didn't live up to our expectations. Out of the eight people in our group, only two really enjoyed their meals. The other six of us found our food to be very bland and lacking flavor. We all ordered different menu items, so it wasn't isolated to just one dish. Considering the price we paid, we expected a much better dining experience. We truly wanted to love this place because the service and overall experience started off so well, but the quality and taste of the food just weren't there for us. Sadly, we won't be returning. read more

This place was just OK. The service was fast., nice, and exceptional. The location is also good being right in the middle of a nice strip mall near some resorts. But the food was meh. Lack of seasoning and really nothing especially good read more

I ordered chicken fajitas and my companion ordered grilled chicken salad. The chicken that came out for us both looked identically seasoned. I'm not sure if the seasoning was appropriate for either meal, it may have been easier to tell if it wasn't so overcooked. read more

Food and drinks suck. Quality is terrible. Prices are insanely high. They charge for chips and salsa unlike every other Mexican joint in the world. They should just close and sell this place. Just terrible. read more

Our bartender was kind and attentive. The chili con queso was decent. Unfortunately, those are the only positive things to say about this establishment, given the 4 other options directly adjacent. In my humble opinion this was the one of the worst margaritas I've had in my life. It was prepared with a premixed solution poured from a gallon jug. I had to order a food item to be able to get the drink down. read more

Overall a very good experience with the fish tacos being the star meal, whether blackened, grilled, or fried. Went multiple times in a week. The Mexican egg rolls also great! Friendly fast service, and the special black salt margarita is top notch. Will be back. Happy they reopened, ambiance is still great, bar has tons of TV's. read more

We go to Nacho Mamas several times each year when we visit and the majority of the times are good. Food is decent. Nothing exceptional and I wouldn't call it authentic Mexican. But it's not bad. Prices are high in my opinion but it's Marco Island so that's a given. My issue this visit was the end and billing process. We came in as a table of 9, one being a 4 year old. I've worked restaurants so I am familiar with large party gratuity and understand the meaning behind it but if you are going to hit us with a 20% additional service charge then earn it. Our waitress flat out sucked. Can't remember her name so I won't put her on blast but really felt like once she knew she was hitting us with the gratuity she could care less about our table. She got an automatic extra $14 from my group, $17 from my sisters group and $12 from my in-laws group. That's $43 unearned dollars. She took our order, came out once after it was delivered by another server, then didn't come back till the end when everyone's drink cups were sitting empty. Mind you the restaurant wasn't busy and most of the time was spent chatting with her gf at the hostess table. She got lucky because she wasn't getting much for a tip from us after her lackluster performance. She cost the restaurant money to be honest as at least 4 of us wanted to ordered additional margaritas but never came back till we were ready to leave. The icing on the cake...the restaurant gives you an ultimatum when it comes time to pay. Pay with cash or you eat their cost to process a credit card payment. Mind you it's minimal at $2.35. But it's the principle that's the cost of doing business babe. You push your processing fee on someone who just dined at your restaurant and spent hundreds on food? What a joke. For those 2 reasons we won't be back. read more

Good food and excellent service. I always sit at the bar if possible. One gets cocktails faster and the bartender usually has recommendations available. I can say the amount of food in each serving was large and I ordered too much. Had the chips and salsa, tostados, and three tacos. Forgot to ask for corn tortillas for the tacos, flour just doesn't cut it. Good margaritas, had the Black Diamond with black salt. Recommended as the second best Mexican restaurant on Marco, though technically it's Tex-Mex. The tostadas don't look that big at first, but they heap on the meat and beans. read more

The chicken taco salad was dry and had little flavor. The portion was decent but my wife couldn't eat it. The service was very slow even though they weren't very busy. I'm predicting they will be closed before we return next year. read more

Tasteless salsa and store bought chips that were blah. The margarita was the same, blah. The decor was the same, blah. Zero Mexican feel to the place. Bartender was friendly and attentive. That was about all that was good about the place. read more

Food was okay. Pitcher of margaritas was weak. But the service was quick and friendly.

Nacho Mama's has a great location right in the plaza on Marco Island, easily walkable from a local neighborhood as well as the Hilton Hotel and the Marriot Vacation Club. It's one of the few places in that plaza open for lunch, in addition to dinner. They have a great Happy Hour every day, even on weekends, including drink specials and $2 tacos. They can get really busy, especially in season, so you may have to wait with one of those little buzzer beeper things. But you can shop in the plaza while you wait, which is nice. Service is spotty...on three recent trips, I had two outstanding servers who went above and beyond, and then one server who really really really just did not want to be at work. Our tips reflected the service at each meal. I really love the shrimp quesadilla, and I understand the tacos are delicous, but the nachos didn't wow...they are certainly stuffed but the cheese was too runny and it was only really on the bottom of the plate. So I won't be getting those again. Before I go...a WARNING: the margaritas are STRONG! Especially at Happy Hour. Drink lots of water with them. :) read more

First time here, pros, nice outdoor patio, very large, food was very good, margarita good, cons, slow service but I think the waiter had too many tables & he never asked us if we wanted salt on our margaritas & they came with no salt we did want it & couldn't get his attention! Outside that all was ok, I had the nacho supreme salad which is a taco salad with a few different extra ingredients. read more

We went to Nacho Mama's on July 10th and thankfully we did not suffer food poisoning as it appears other yelpers reported a couple days before that. Our friend who lives on Marco Island took us to eat here since we had not been yet ourselves. We were seated upon arrival. The booth we were in was a bit uncomfortable actually. One side left a LOT of space between the person and the table, and the other side left very limited space. The table was nailed down, and we could not shift it. Additionally, it was very warm in the restaurant with very little air movement. The server was very friendly and provided good service to us. Our drinks along with chips and salsa were brought to our table, and then he took our orders. We had the vegetarian enchiladas, the Baha fish tacos, and the beef tacos. All were competitively priced compared to other Mexican restaurants in the area, however they do have a disclosure that you can pay in cash to avoid an upcharge for paying with a credit card. Anyone who doesn't know this ahead of time may not have the cash on them to select that payment option. The entrees were just mediocre; nothing special and lacked flavor. The chips and salsa may have been the highlight of our meals. We just weren't wowed and have to say Nacho Mammas isn't a place we would recommend or return to anytime soon. read more

So disappointed! This place used to be a cozy, authentic favorite Mexican spot to visit in vacay, but after the "modern" makeover, it's totally lost its charm. The margaritas taste like pre-made mixes, the food had zero flavor, and even the chips and salsa seemed straight out of a jar. No real queso either, just melted cheese! Miss the old place and its warmth -- won't be back. read more

I have eaten there twice in the last month. First time was great and had same thing both times. The second time was today. Was terrible. Worst tacos and burrito i have ever had. Tasted like chemicals or something. Was awful. Will not go back. If it's a 50/50 shot at getting good food, you got serious problems. And the noise levels are almost unbearable. Not even that crowded. You should have left the place alone, no need to remodel. read more

We came in on a Tuesday afternoon and were happy to see the taco Tuesday specials! We were seated right away, and the server took our order within 10 minutes. We had chips & queso, a queso birria taco, and 3 pork tacos. The queso dip for the chips was amazing, very good consistency and great taste, 10/10. The queso birria taco was one of the best I've ever had, the taste of the meat was amazing. The pork tacos resembled the taste of a real torta, and the portion of meat was amazing. The only thing it was missing was some authentic sauce, they only had Tabasco, red hot, and cholula. We had the fried ice cream for dessert and it tasted just like an horchata ice cream because of the cinnamon. Overall a great time! read more

Where do I even begin...I could start with a positive but there were none.If I could rate lower than 1 star I would. This restaurant advertises as an "authentic" Mexican restaurant meanwhile that can't even make a half decent margarita; ( Davinci's (the ITALIAN restaurant) next door makes a far better one. The service was terrible, nothing came out in a timely manner and when it did come out it wasn't at all what was stated on the menu. The food was unseasoned and tasteless. I ordered chili con queso and it was like they slapped a can of hormel on top and called it a day. If you want my honest opinion skip this and get a meal deal at McDonald's it is far more worth your while. read more

Dined at Nacho Mama's while staying in Marco Island. My friends and I really enjoyed our experience here last year and appreciate how accommodating their menu is for those with dietary restrictions. To drink I had the El Dorado margarita which was good but the flavors could have been better, that's the only reason this review is 4 stars. Next I had a key lime martini that was really good. I'm a big fan of key lime pie and this was very satisfactory. It's like a dessert drink. My friend who is vegan ordered the coconut margarita that looked like it had dairy but the server and bartender both came to the table to confirm that it had no dairy - even down to detailing the ingredients. This was much appreciated! To eat I had the shrimp and chicken fajitas. Again, the restaurant was very accommodating in modifying menu items. I ordered a side of red pepper crema sauce that was outstanding. Most of our party had fajitas and everyone really enjoyed them. Portions are great. read more

Solid happy hour! We came for the margaritas and they were good. Happy hour is every day from 3:00 to 5:00. Drinks and food are at a discounted price. We had margaritas for $3.50 and enjoyed every sip. You see a lot of regulars there. The same bar tender has been there for years. She knows everyone and us very nice. Restaurant is very large and they have an outside patio seating. Food looked really good. Parking lot and close to hotels. read more

4 Stars for a solid Mexican Restaurant on Marco Island. From what I can tell, it's one of 3 Mexican Restaurants on the island and one of 2 open for lunch. It was convenient to the resorts I was staying at, and I could have walked, but it was surprisingly hot that day! After gorging on food for a few days, I was looking for a light lunch. One of my favorite Mexican dishes is a Mexican Pizza and it's rarely done well. I will say, theirs is one of the better ones. The crust was crispy, there were lots of toppings, and it held together nicely as I ate it. I saw their nachos go by to another table, and it's definitely enough to share. Would be a great choice for a group of people to start off with. They don't bring out complimentary chips and salsa for the table, so plan on paying a few bucks if you get these. Service was OK for a not-so-busy time of the day. There weren't many people and it did take a while for the waiter to come back and refill my drink or pick up the check. I saw the other waitresses going to the tables multiple times before I saw my waiter again. I guess I drew the short straw on this day. I'd go back for the nachos, the Mexican pizza, and the convenience of being close to my resort. Lots of choices sure to please any fan of Mexican cuisine. read more

Okay, it was lovely and shaded by umbrellas to sit outside. There is a fountain in the unshaded common area with no particular landscaping shared by several restaurants. Service was quick and attentive. Prices are alright, entrees from $19-29. No free chips and salsa. The issue here is not the convenience--it is, nor the service--it is good, it is the food--it is bland. Chips bland, salsa totally uninspired and tastes like tomatoes only. The burritos, two different types are boring. They look lovely, but they don't taste interesting or have any flavor profile. I noticed folks around us didn't finish their meals. Was it bad? No. Was it good? No. If you are hungry you will get full enough, but will not leave satisfied. read more

We made reservations for our party of 8 and requested to sit outside; were seated shortly after arriving. Based on other reviews of the interior I feel like this is the way to go (although we just wanted to sit outside as it was a lovely night). Ordered a pitcher of margaritas for 4 adults and it was perfect for everyone to have at least 2 glasses. I was disappointed in the cheese dip, both that they only had a small option and it was not completely melted in spots. My pork tacos (with soft corn tortillas) were good and husband liked his carne asada enchiladas. Nothing special about either but they were good. Overall a busy restaurant both in and outside, our waiter was attentive and food was tasty and hot. read more
