During the summer, my and I roommate took a trip to a small
bar/restaurant outside of Fells Point, Md. called Nacho Mamas. My roommate has
always been talking about how much he loves going to this place so I decided to
finally see what all his hype was about. Now I must say when I first arrived at
Nacho Mamas, I wasn’t really impressed. It just looked like a typical sports
bar with limited seating and wooden booths. Plus the restaurant didn’t even
have a Mexican or Hispanic theme, which is what I’d expect with a name like “Nacho.”
However once I my meal arrived to the table, and I took a huge first bite, I
was quite impressed. After scanning the menu, the only thing that caught my eye
was these chicken nachos. I then ordered this meal expecting to have an average
size portion. But boy was I wrong. The serving size of these nachos was
ridiculous. This thing honestly could’ve
fed 4 people and still have leftovers. I dug in and didn’t even make a dent in
the nachos. I literally tried to continue eating after I was full so that it
seemed like I got my money’s worth. But I just couldn’t succeed. Despite this
failure of finishing my meal, I was very satisfied with my nachos. The chicken
was large and tender, the cheese was baked and stringy, the beans were beany, and
the tortilla chips were warm and crispy. It was pretty good. Now the best thing
about this was that it was only about ($10). Not bad if you ask me.
In terms of the restaurant’s atmosphere, it’s very dark, and
sports bar like. What I mean is that people are drinking beer, talking loudly,
and watching the game on the TV screens near the bar. Also within this restaurant the Elvis theme
is pervasive throughout the restaurant with many pictures and memorabilia
covering the dark walls. It’s a pretty cool setting to enjoy a nice meal.
So overall, Nacho Mamas is very affordable and is a great dining
option for those on a college student’s budget.
