Nacho Mama's is a Baltimore staple for amazing Tex-Mex food!

Nacho Mama’s has two locations in Baltimore: Canton and Towson. Both offer delicious food and great atmosphere, but Towson’s larger location gives it the edge in the battle of family friendly eats. The restaurant is roomy enough with areas separated by walls that no one will bat an eye if you've got a less than quiet toddler in tow.

As the name implies, you can expect to get delicious tex-mex style food at both Nacho Mama's locations. The restaurant also has a kids menu with favorites like chicken tenders and cheeseburgers. For adults, the menu features amazing food like tacos, fajitas, or sandwiches if you aren't in the mood for Mexican. Depending on the weather, you can sit inside or outside on the wide sidewalk in front of the restaurant. 

The interior features wall-to-wall Baltimore memorabilia with a heavy emphasis on the Orioles and Elvis. You can even stand on a home plate from Camden Yards as you enter the restaurant! Between checking out the decor and completing the activity sheets offered by the restaurant, you can rest assured that kids will be able to wait patiently for their food to arrive.

Nacho Mama’s also offers a “Kids Eat Free” special on various nights of the week. The day of the week changes depending on the season, so check the website to get the most current information. We love hitting Nacho Mama's for an early dinner when we need an inexpensive way to take a night off from cooking.

Our work in Baltimore is truly a family affair. Husband and wife, Matt and Katie, work together to head up our ambassador team in Charm City. Katie is a Maryland native and has lived in the state her whole life. She moved to Baltimore in 2007 after graduating from the University of Maryland, College Park with a bachelor's degree in early childhood education. She has been working in the field of early childhood education as a teacher and family coach for the past 12 years. Katie also holds a Masters of Education in Literacy from Loyola University. She is passionate about giving kids and families the knowledge and tools that they need to thrive. Matt grew up in the Highlandtown neighborhood of Baltimore. As a city native, Matt is a great resource on all that the city has to offer. After months of helping Katie explore the city for her role at a Happy Active Family, he decided to put his love of writing to use and officially come on board as an ambassador. Matt and Katie have two girls, ages 5 and 7. They spend their weekends camping, hiking, or exploring other hidden gems in their area. Tap into their insider knowledge by downloading the app today!
