Nacho Mama's has delicious food at a good price and I've never had a long wait time from the time I start ordering to the time I can eat. I usually get mine to go, but they do have both indoor and outdoor seating available. The staff is kind and work quickly. The store is clean and pleasant to eat in.Vegetarian options: Food is made to order where you choose everything that goes on/in it. They are good at working with anyone's personal preferences and dietary restrictions. Salads, nachos, burritos, tacos, and quesadillas can all be made without the meat.Kid-friendliness: They have a kids meal where items are cheeper and portions are smaller.Parking: At the store front there is limited street parking, but there is a free parking lot just up the street. Parking is harder to find on weekends.Dietary restrictions: The food is made with your input, just mention any restrictions and they'll leave them out.

Didn’t expect to find this good of a Mexican food spot here, we had the burrito and the chicken quesadilla both were excellent. Staff were very nice and service was fast. Great spot, definitely recommended if you want a quick lunch on the way.

Looking for a quick delicious lunch? This is some seriously good Mexican food, and not just on Montana standards (I'm an AZ native...). We loved the chicken nachos with homemade queso and the carnitas salad. High quality ingredients, lots of toppings and there's even a quaint, shaded patio in the back. My 10yo picked this place and now he gets bragging rights for our day trip to VC!

We were starving while exploring Virginia City, and came upon Nacho Mama's. The portions were huge, we definitely did not leave hungry. They have seating inside, but on a nice day head out back to sit at the picnic tables. The girls working were very nice and patient while we decided what we wanted. Finally decided on ground beef nachos, carnitas nachos and a quesadilla. This was split between 4 people and we couldn't finish! A fun little place to relax and stuff yourself while in Virginia City!

Get the nachos with the homemade cheese sauce. It costs a little extra but you won't regret it!

A small operation but delicious! The pork was the big favorite. Loved the relaxed back porch area to eat in--like a friend's backyard! Grateful to find a good gluten-free option for my celiac daughter, even in such a small town. The staff knew to change gloves and utensils, which items would be problematic, and not to press the corn tortillas in the press. Still some risk of cross-contamination, as there often is in such a small place, but we were really happy with the choice to eat there!

Out of all the places we looked at to eat in Virginia city, this little tiny hole in the wall place is absolutely amazing. I had Carnitas burrito and other people had the soft tacos and it was just fabulous. There’s a deck outback also to eat on in the bathroom!
The food is amazing, we had shrimp and grits, and it was really good. Service was good, the food was even better.

Had lunch here. We had nachos and it was large enough to share. They have a great outdoor space in the back that we got to enjoy . Staff is very friendly and answered all our questions

We went in with a small group of individuals with disabilities. We got there at 6pm. The sign said they closed at 7pm. As we got seated, friends of the workers came in “take her away”. The older worker said loudly “we were going to close early then these people came in.” We said if that was the case we could leave. She said it was fine. The “Mexican food” was public school grade as best and the older lady glared at us the whole time. Got to-go boxes and left. As we were there 3 different groups wanted to eat to because the sign says they close at 7 and they were turned away. Not impressed, don’t eat there!!
