Can we talk about lunch!My friend and I took a trip to a place called I Am Nacho Mama (7 W Village Green, Hicksville, NY 11801).It's located in a pretty unassuming strip mall. They had about seven tables outside and about as many indoors.From the outside of the place I wasn't impressed, butt inside it was totally different. Beautifully decorated and just a fun vibe.Had my friend had Mexican street corn and the taco lasagna. He said both were great and very fresh.I had three chicken tacos. It came beautifully on a plate with a small side salad. I don't know what they made their dressing out of but it was phenomenal.Tacos contained Giant chunks of meat and very fresh ingredients. It came with a small ramekin of what I could only describe as tomato soup. I don't think it actually was tomato soup but I'm not sure what to do with it. I tried it on my tacos and it was too thin to act as a sauce.The only negative that I can tell you will fill you in a little bit about the only food issue I truly have. My name is Ken and I can't have my food touching. What I mean by that is the salad on my plate touched my tacos. Not only did it touch my tacos but the dressing got all over one of the shells rendering it unedible for me. A normal human would have devoured the hell out of it but I couldn't. It has nothing to do with getting messy as that doesn't bother me it's just one of my idiosyncrasies.All in all this place was phenomenal. We got to it from work in 15 minutes and that was perfect. I even got to meet Papa and Mama, lol. We spoke to Papa and Mama from across the restaurant. I have to tell you if the woman there was actually mama I'm in love with this place. She talked to each and every one of the employees and hugged most of them. I love one owners take pride in their restaurant like this.Read this and many reviews like it at @long island foodies on Facebook.
Kept hearing about how good this place is so we came by for takeout. As soon as you walk in the atmosphere feels warm and inviting, the staff make you feel like an honored guest. We met the Papa and had a nice convo. He kept us company while we waited for our food to be ready and once we began eating it was clear we found our "spot" everything was a home run. Highly recommend and will definitely become a regular.
We come to eat here at least once a month! The service is great and everybody is welcoming and friendly. Our favorite is the burritos!! The ingredients are always fresh and there is no "creepy" or "questionable" meat that usually is found at mexican places. I definitely recommend I Am Nacho Mama.
The best way to put it is, it felt like nacho mama invited us to her home and cooked us lunch. The meal tasted fresh and home made. The atmosphere felt friendly and inviting, as you can see in our lovely picture ?. Oh, and the bathroom was CLEAN.We ordered the Mama's ribs, nachos and the a la plancha. All were very good.Nacho Mama and her staff were attentive and friendly, always making sure we were being taken care of. Truly a great experience both taste wise and customer service. If I'm ever in the area, I'll stop by again for another bite.I would recommend. ?
Came here on recommendation and I have to say all these positive reviews are true!The price for the food is a little bit expensive but the portion and flavor really makes up for it. Their hospitality and service goes above and beyond and really care about how your food is prepared! Also had the luxury of meeting the owner and he’s so sweet! Very charming little place to bring a date. The food is from all over Latin America so flavor is beyond amazing highly recommend to anyone who is thinking about giving it a try. Very worth it 10/10 would dine again and again and AGAIN!
I finally got to try this restaurant and it was amazing. Every single thing we tried was fantastic. The owner was so nice and helpful with the ordering and you can tell how much of his soul is in this fine place!!! A must go to!!!
Raw churros - every single one - manager told us to come back and see the sign next to the register that said “no refunds” when I called about them (btw, we had to pay for our takeout order over the phone before arriving as our order was more than $75 and this no refund policy wasn’t mentioned) so I guess thoroughly inspect your order to make sure it is cooked properly before you leave.
This place was a gem! The staff was friendly & helpful. They had vegan options & even dessert. The food was DELICIOUS & in large portions, it's easy to feel full here. Also the drinks are so refreshing & delicious. I highly recommend!
First of all. Hands down the best tacos I had. Probably better than the food trucks in Red Hook, Bklyn. Guest service skills excellent. Decor excellent. Cleanliness excellent. Food quality excellent. Everyone can make a meat taco, but it takes skill to make a salmon taco good. And I Am Nacho Mama nailed it perfectly. Highly recommended
This is a great family owned Latino Counter service restaurant. Clean facilities. Traditional and Fusion style foods. Not your typical quick service place. You order at the counter then they bring the food to your table. Every thing is made to order. A little more on the pricey side so bring your credit cards. Great for families. We will definitely be going back.
