The food is amazing. Be sure to try the green chili cheese crispy appetizer. The barria street tacos are loaded with meat and pan fried with cheese crisp on the edges. Go here for a delightful meal. The 4 stars for atmosphere is only because they are so busy...nothing they do wrong, I just like it a little less noisy.

We arrived at 5:20p on a Friday and it was very busy. We only waited about 5 minutes for a table on the patio. Service was slow, but it was packed. Our server was great but she had at least 6 tables. We ordered nachos and margaritas from the happy hour menu. They were great! Huge amount of nachos for $11. They were great with special requests (taco on a separate plate). Patio was busy but cool with the breeze.

Nando's is the place to go for great food and even better service! Plus the prices are awesome with very large plates of food. Our waitress, Poala, ( I hope I spelled it correct) was the absolute best. They also make very good frozen strawberry 🍓 margaritas!
