“This is a very small place to eat and I usually order to pick up. What I can say is the food it’s authentic Mexican , so tasty and delicious , I’m not a big fan of spicy foods but this place use enough condiments on their meats , they use jalapeños but if you don’t want them, request not to put them on your food…overall food it’s delicious highly recommend“

“Nacho Bae has a special place in our hearts. So much so that we come from around an hour away just for the food, atmosphere, and amazing service. Muhammad and Arwa gave us exceptional service and frequently came buy to ensure everything was ok. Their energy and willingness to help was great! The food was fresh and tasted much better than anywhere I have been to. The store atmosphere was great as well. Nice music and nice decor. I’ll be coming again to nacho bae and this is one of the top 5 restaurants I have been to all thanks to the food and arwa and Muhammad!“

They had so many fresh made salsa and bottled hot sauce to put on my burrito. I think I found my new Mexican spot. Can't wait to try more of the menu. Highly recommend. 10/10“

“A no frill restaurant. We weren’t sure if the server was fluent with English. The service was adequate.We had a burrito bowel, one verde con pollo (chicken w green sauce) tamale, one mole con pollo (chicken with mole) tamale, and a chicken tostada. For drinks we had jarrito mandarine and tamarind piña.The burrito was standard. The verde con pollo was delicious and the tostada was generous and tasty. The mole sauce was more bitter than sweet; it’s different from most places. The tamarind piña was good too.

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s a small place with upstairs, no good for wheelchairs“

“We came for the first time and the restaurant was very clean and welcoming. The menu had a variety of authentic Mexican food. We ordered lengua quesadillas, torta de bistec y bistec entomatado fajitas. We were starving. Omg!! The food arrived hot and fresh. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS!!! The bread for the torta was toasted and buttered and it tasted like they baked the bread from scratch themselves. A huge plus. The amount of food was very good ?. I love Mexican food pero yesterday it reached another level. So the lengua quesadillas, were out of this world delicious, it was well prepared, seasoned and cooked to perfection ??! Oh and everything had fresh avocado ?, it wasn’t black or sour how other restaurants try to serve you. I will be coming 3X’s a week if not more. Also, did I mention they make pizza!!! As you can tell I love food. I definitely recommend stopping by and treating your taste buds!! ☺️“

They also included sauces, topping and hot handmade tortillas! I’d recommend the tacos with any meat of your choice. All of them are tasty.“

“Parking: Don’t let the location fool you. It’s more of a take out place but it does have limited seating. The food was amazing. The fried fish was so flavorful and flaky. The rice and beans were top notch. The chicharron was exactly what you’d want: crispy skin, melt in your mouth fatty layer with tender meat. I can’t wait to try other dishes. The staff was very friendly but just know that the parking is limited. .“
