Nacho Mama's — Restaurant in Augusta

Nacho Mama’s seems to be a pretty popular staple of the downtown Augusta eatery scene. I’d like to do something more comprehensive but it may have to wait as I only tried a few tacos and didn’t order appetizers or drinks with my meal. Let’s start with the meat and potatoes. The tacos were good, the meats were really well seasoned and juicy. I had a chicken, pulled pork, and mahi mahi sampling. The cheese I don’t recall standing out and the lettuce was a simple shredded variety, probably iceberg, but it tasted fresh and when combined with the meat I was content with my meal. Pico de Gallo was provided but I’m not much for raw chopped onions and cilantro so I usually avoid it. I would’ve loved for a meat specific sauce to’ve been added but it wasn’t the end of the world. I’m sure I could’ve ordered salsa or queso and that would’ve been a nice addition. The décor was fun and there’s art all over the walls and a giant wall menu from which to order. The service style is fast casual, order and seat yourself, rather than that of a sit down restaurant with waiters and waitresses. Because the bar is in the middle and the restaurants shape is shotgun style, there’re two seating sections, one at the front and one at the back. Looks like they have plenty of space and with the quick rate with which they produce the food, I expect the turnover is quite reasonable and you shouldn’t have to wait long even if there’s a line. The staffers working behind the counter were very pleasant and I’d feel confident asking for their recommendations. Nacho Mama’s location in the downtown on Broad between 9th and 10th means there’re plenty of parking opportunities nearby, even if you have to walk a little bit. It’s right on the main drag’s southern sidewalk and enjoyable enough a stroll should you be out and about for a night on the town. While there wasn’t a huge crowd, as we were there right before closing, the ceilings were high and I don’t expect it ever becomes too loud. Their online presence is substantial with a profession looking webpage with everything you might need to know from menu and price to hours, contact information, and even a map and address. I am thoroughly impressed by the online presence and visibility and the search engines knew exactly what to look for when I searched them. It was a good visit but I feel it will require another visit to give a...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Nacho Mama's, and I must say, it was a delightful experience! This vibrant Mexican restaurant has quickly become one of my favorites in town.

First off, the burritos are absolutely massive and incredibly filling. I ordered the classic carne asada burrito, and it was packed with tender, flavorful meat, fresh vegetables, and just the right amount of guacamole and salsa. One burrito is enough to satisfy even the hungriest of appetites, making it a fantastic value for the price.

Despite being packed during the lunch rush, the staff at Nacho Mama's were truly impressive. They handled the busy environment with remarkable efficiency and a warm smile. Our server was attentive and made sure our drinks were filled, all while managing multiple tables with ease. It’s clear they take pride in providing great service, even when things get hectic.

The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, which adds to the overall dining experience despite the location feeling a bit dusty and old. I also appreciated the variety on the menu, offering plenty of options for everyone, including vegetarian and gluten-free choices.

Overall, Nacho Mama's delivers a satisfying meal with excellent service. I’m already looking forward to my next visit to try out more of their delicious offerings! Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic...

Always wanted to try this establishment…good reviews: what could go wrong? Well, I will start off by saying this is far from authentic. Very Americanized to say the least! We had the Guacamole and chips and that was about the only thing we fully ate. The guacamole was great…now our entrées were garbage! I will start off with my “Garden burrito” the spinach tasted like a salt rock! I like salt but this was on another level as to someone dropped the salt on the spinach. It lacked mushrooms which it was supposed to have…overall a big FAIL. My daughter had the “Simple nachos with pork” she chose to add queso because they only use shredded cheese…what kind of nachos is nachos without queso?!? Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. The nachos have salsa all over the top and that made the nachos bad. I think the salsa should be on the side and if you want salsa then you can do as you please with it. Last but certainly not least my daughter had the “Havana burrito” this burrito lacked flavor. Putting salsa in a burrito does not make it have season…the plate came with rice and beans and that was the only thing that was eaten completely out of this entrée. Would I ever come to this establishment again, no. The only things I could say is that they had good guac and great customer service. Try it at...
