Nacho Daddy

I like this place they give good amount of portion on food. Not your authentic Mexican place but food is still pretty good. I would good back again.

This experience wasn’t bad, but it definitely could have been better.
My wife and I were going to a concert nearby and wanted to grab a bite to eat before the show. She was in the mood for nachos, so coming here was a no-​brainer.
Upon entering, we were thrown off by having to seat ourselves. It was kind of packed, so finding a table in the back took a minute. There was a large party in the center that seemed to be taking up everyone’s attention, so it was about 5 minutes before we even got menus and another 5 before we got to speak with our server. Fortunately, that gave us time to decide what we wanted to order, so we ordered as soon as he arrived.
It took nearly 45 minutes to get our food, but again, that was due to the large party in the center. The food was fresh when it arrived, but was mediocre at best.
Her nachos were over-​saturated with this extremely spicy salsa. The amount of cheese on the nachos gave the impression that ANY cheese on there was merely an accident. It was primarily a plate of chips and salsa, garnished with chicken and a few vegetables.
I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was amazing. The fries were great while they were piping hot. However, as soon as they cooled down, they became hard as a rock and hazardous to my health. I couldn’t finish even half of them (and there weren’t a lot to begin with).
The part that gives this experience 3 stars (and not 1 or 2, as the food was quite a disappointment) was the service. Our server was Danny, and the little amount of service the party in the center allowed him to give us was excellent.
Overall, it was a decent experience. Not one I intend to repeat any time soon, though.

If you love nachos this place is awesome! Better in late afternoon. Get a better ambience. So much to choose from. Hard not to get two or three different ones.

MEHk no MEHstake! Nacho Daddy’s kitchen deserves the gold MEHdal for their MEHzmerizing Tex-​MEHx dishes! Focusing on the MEH quality of the MEHnu, however, is missing the point– Nacho Daddy is not about Michelin Stars, it’s about FUN! So leave your foodie-​badge at home, get some friends together, get yourselves sloshed, and scarf down the nachos for a killer good time in Downtown Vegas!

* NACHOS + BOOZE CAN’T LOSE
: The Nachos — The perfect BOOZE FODDER! Nacho-​greatest example of gourmet Tex-​Mex, but PHENOMENALLY SATISFYING when you’re 2 beers and 2 shots deep, and about to take a video of your poor homie chewing up and swallowing a dead scorpion on a dare. Please be courteous and vomit outside!
* PARTY PALAZZO
’Palazzo’ means PALACE in Italian, as in watch your PALs get drunk off their ASSes! This is VEGAS BABY, so get STUFFED & get TRASHED, and this is a great place to do both! Rush in with your new crew of friends you just made Downtown & go 18-​Dummy off their grande Tequila selection (60 varieties) while deep-​throating MORE NACHOS (gross)! Watch the game on one monitor, or hilariously tacky old 70’s and 80’s music videos on the other, in between scorpion-​shots and INSTAGRAM-​selfies!
* THANKS FOR THE MEHmories
I will never in my life forget this meal. I walked into a big, fun space for lunch, was waited on by a super-​cool server named Elicia, devoured one disappointing MEH dish after the next, and finished with an unforgettably bad Las Vegas decision – the Scorpion Shot! My life on this planet has been made slightly more significant by this wacky bit of suffering.

Don’t walk in by yourself as a foodie because you’ll feel like a fool :) Let’s find out why…
: Carnitas Tacos — Utterly Bland. If you’ve ever experienced eye-​fluttering ecstasy from expertly crafted tender-​juicy-​crispy-​salty carnitas tacos then DO NOT order them here. It’ll MEHk you sad.
: Battered Fish Taco — Decent. Best thing I ordered. Great texture, good flavors.
… So then I tried to redeem the meal with what I thought would be a guaranteed winner, but it was even more MEH!
: MEHxican Roasted Corn — Like a disappointing Tinder date. She seemed so hot until we MEHt. Too little mayo, too little cotija cheese, no chili powder, no lime, and the corn was wet roughage – not sweet enough. Complete fail.
— SCORPION SHOT: MASOCHISTS ONLY!
Probably the go-​to hazing ritual of UNLV fraternities. On par with eating a rotten shrimp head from the bottom of a Panda Express dumpster. Chewing into the guts of the scorpion, realizing that its half-​decayed organs were all over my teeth, and then washing it down with a shot of tequila was a 5-​second NIGHTMARE. I almost threw up my entire lunch. So why did I do it? The server picked up on the gray glow of my meal disappointment and hit me with a brilliant up-​sell. «You know what you should try that’s pretty good?» she said with a wink, «The Scorpion Shot! Come on, you have to do it, you’re in Vegas!» She smiled pointing to a black t-​shirt they sold with ‘#IGOTSTUNG’ printed on it.
«Awesome!» was my innocent reply.

Unbelievable food here. If you love Mexican, this place is the ultimate in delicious! Try the queso dip.

The best Nachos I have had in my life. The tacos and tequila specials are great.
Dinner consisted of:
Fiesta nachos
3 steak tacos

If you have a mild to acute obsession with nachos, this place is your heaven. Just a few steps away from the hustle and bustle of Fremont, this place is worth going off the beaten path (but really, it’s very close to the action!!!).
Upon entering we sat ourselves and were promptly given menus and served waters. We ordered a small white queso which is served atop a small candle to keep the cheesiness smooth. Brilliant!
Their menu is extensive, but why order anything but nachos? We went for the potato nachos and the filet mignon nachos. The potato nachos are served on actual potato chips– I was expecting potato chunks on chips but oh well… what I got was okay. The filet mignon nacho plate was insane. It was way too much for one person, so order wisely! The steak was delicious as were all the other trimmings.
Service during the meal was great. We never felt neglected and our water glasses were kept full the entire meal.
I would definitely come back here to try more menu items as well as drinks, and will recommend it to friends heading downtown.

We stopped by Nacho Daddy for a late night meal and drinks. My wife and I ordered the Thai Nachos and a couple margaritas.
The Nachos were great. If you love Nachos, they got Nachos here. Lots and lots of Nachos to choose from. Not only were the combinations unique, they were super tasty! The cheese sauce was simply divine. Not even close to the jarred crap you find in the super market. The flavors blended together nicely. It also was nice that you got a heaping portion of these tasty treats.
Speaking of tasty treats, the margaritas were very good too. Once again, nothing was just plain and simple. I had a Sriracha Blood Orange Margarita and my wife opted to try the Pomegranate Margarita. Full of good liquor and juices.
I almost got the courage to try their famous scorpion shot, but then I chickened out. Oh well, next time =)

*military discount*
What do you call cheese that isn’t your’s? Nacho cheese! *ba-​dum-​tissss* Thanks folks, I’ll be here all week.
After sampling some of their delicious bbq nachos at the last Unilocal event, I was eager to go here. I finally got my chance yesterday 11−15−15 at 11:30 AM. This restaurant is located on 4^th street which is right smack dab in the middle of the fremont street madness. We parked in the fremont parking garage and it cost $ 2.
$ 35.74 got me a bloody mary, a triple dip appetizer, and a barbecue pulled pork sandwich. Our server, Jon, was very attentive and brought us a high chair, crayons, and a kids menu for the boy.
The bloody mary experience was unique to me… it was a bloody mary DIY bar. For $ 8 they give you a mason jar with ice and Absolut in it, and then you go up to the bar and make it the way you want it. They had bloody mary mix, pickles, celery, hot sauces, cucumbers, olives, lemons, etc. I thought that was pretty neat.
The triple dip ($ 11.95) consisted of white queso dip, guac, and salsa, and it came with the world’s saltiest chips (see photo). That queso dip… oh wow… I wish I could fill up a jacuzzi with it and drink my way out. It was heavenly. Their guac, however, was yucky. It tasted like the kind you can buy at Wal-​mart. I would have given this place 5 stars if their guac was good and I didn’t have to wade through smelly street performers to get there.
The pulled pork sandwich was awesome… so juicy and messy! It came with piping hot fries that I really enjoyed dipping in the queso dip. My only critique would be that the pork was in large chunks and I prefer it more shredded.
Yay! I’m a fan. Next time I’m getting the buffalo nachos and street corn.

We’ve gone here several times for lunch and have ordered takeout as well. (We went to the original location in Henderson many times before this one, though; so imagine my excitement when there was one closer to home!) I must’ve forgotten to do a review on this place. This is one of my favorite places to get nachos, my favorite pig-​out food. (I have a restricted diet monday through friday.)
My favorite place to get nachos used to be Mickie Finnz but honestly, there is no other place to get nachos anymore. Out of the fifteen nacho types, we’ve tried about eight of them! Our favorite is «Nacho Average Burger Nacho.»
Doesn’t look very big from the outside, but when you get inside, the bar is on the left side (probably bigger than the dining area), and the sit-​down dining area is on the right side. The bathrooms are at the very back, right side. The counter (where to go for your takeout order) is to the right, front side, of the restaurant. Every server we’ve had has been very nice.
Not much parking, but a couple spaces in front, if you’re lucky, for the takeout order.

We had seen the giant sign outside many times and I finally talked my wife into letting me try this place. It’s bigger and nicer inside than I expected it to be. I asked the server what the specialty was and she said the burger nacho so that is what I ordered. The portion was very large and the chips were great and the cheese sauce was pretty good too. The burger part was a chilly type sauce that you would find on hot dogs. It wasn’t bad but could have used a lot more flavor and some spice. To kick it up I had to use a lot of hot sauce. There were also no jalapeño peppers.
My wife had the vegan tofu nachos and loved them but this is my review on what I had. The bottom line for me is if you are a nacho place and some gets your signature dish it should be oh wow. What I had was ok not oh wow. Average ok place.

Sorry, don’t know what all the hype was about. I love nachos but there better be a pony in it for me to call you daddy.
I expected knock me out and tuck me into bed awesome sauce nachos (thanks a lot Unilocalers), but we got something that was fine just the way your college roommate used to make it. Where you’re not sure if it’s that good or if you’re that drunk. Either way it does the trick for sure and I’ll give it to them that they’re BIG.
But hey! There’s vegetarian and vegan nachos and that’s about as hipster as the place gets (surprisingly for the area) and that’s cool. There’s also margaritas and scorpion shots and more alcohol so you can’t complain too much. Go drunk with a group!
I’d definitely take a brood of children here, they’d demolish the plates. Me not so much. I stop in the middle, at the cold part. But I’m a forgiving person and I love downtown so I wouldn’t be surprised if I stumbled in here often and partied with the inconsistencies.
Sad to see so many bad service reviews since our guy was great. He kept the jalapeños coming. Seriously, boss daddy, don’t be stingy and add more jalapeños.
Ask for extra whatever you want. Might as well. Cheers! Just gulp it down.

I was a little afraid that this place was going to be a tourist trap with mediocre food, given it’s location. It was of course a tourist trap but it was also super super tasty. I had the huevos rancheros (breakfast all day!!) it was so good I ate way beyond full. They serve it with gauc and salsa, both were great, but totally unnecessary-​the huevos were perfect as is. Oh, Oh, Oh! They made my eggs perfectly over medium. I don’t know if you’ve ever ordered over medium eggs before but it’s quite the gamble. Kudos to the cooks!
My partner in crime ordered the Nachos and walked out with a food baby as well. He had some super tasty raspberry margarita which totally trumped my guava daiquiri.
On a side note:
Our server was pretty much MIA during the meal but this was obviously due to the fact that she was in the weeds. I think she may have been the only one on. The food would definitely bring me back but not having anyone check on us until we were almost done eating would keep me away. Hopefully it was a fluke and not standard practice!

Great vegan and veggie choices.
Been here many times. The our last view was a real treat!
I had been craving a chimi for years and the sweet server said he would go back and ask if they could do a vegan one… of course they could! I ordered a bean and cheeze and avocado chimi: D I wish I took a pic of it it was soooo yummy and gooey and ridiculous: D I asked for black beans with mango salsa on top as my side.
Anyway, this place will make you just about anything you want. I even requested the kale salad be put into a wrap before and yep they did it.
Service is slow sometimes but always pleasant. The owner is a sweetheart, glad he left what he was doing to open his Nacho Daddy’s ;)
We had a Unilocal event at the one at Henderson and after that we tried Hendo location again after that… ummmm we are not a fan.
We have had some yummy veggie fajitas here also (don’t know if they are a menu item). You can’t beat their nachos. I wish they had a cauliflower buffalo vegan nacho like I have made at home then I would truly be in heaven. My fav item is still the kale salad. It’s that dressing, that grilled corn, delicious.
That spicy tofu burrito is out of this world but wow it’s freaking spicy I don’t know how my bro in law nor my hubby eats that. They always inhale theirs.
I’m not a fan of adult drinks and hubby is allergic to tequila (in an oopma loompa turning orange type of way) so not really sure about their margs etc but my friend said her special tooty fruity marg was super yum and super strong.
Nacho Daddy IS the Nacho Daddy.

Is it too «cheesy» to say this is «nacho» typical place?!? I take my nacho eating very seriously: OK… All clichés and dorky phrases aside, I’m impressed with the creatively thought out twists to simple food.
The good:
*Super cozy atmosphere reminiscent of local Seattle pubs I’m used to. Cute décor includes separate bar and dining areas. Small retail items such as t-​shirts for sale a smart idea for tourists. Funky coffee bar a nice touch.
*Music, diverse crowd, diverse menu and awesome cocktails make me want to camp out during Happy Hour and people watch.
*Everything I have tried is pretty good. I suggest splitting everything so you and your group can try more items.
*Vegan menu amazing!
*Restrooms are clean… a rarity in Fremont.
The bad:
–Any expert nacho maker will tell you to put some toppings on bottom. We were disappointed no meat or beans under first layer. If I’m gonna pay $ 17 for nachos «placement» is important! lol… I’m a snob I know.
–Meat can be a bit dry, maybe if stored in its own juices it would lock in flavor.
–Parking only on street at meter’s.
— Small and dimly lit. If you need personal space then don’t come here at night.
My questions:
Would I brave the scorpion cocktails or the Thai or dessert nachos? Not sure but they look cool.
Was the rancho sauce really homemade? It was awesome and waiter said yes but I wonder???
My answers:
1)Put the queso on the nachos instead of plain cheese.
2) Get there before noon for lunch.
3) Don’t be in a rush.
4) Expect to walk a ways if street parking is full.
I most certainly will be back.

Ok place. Sorry I expected more you the reviews. Nachos were average. We ordered cheeseburger nacho plate. The hamburger meat tasted like Taco Bell beef — which is not a bad thing. Super light on The lettuce and tomato. No sauce on the nachos, kinda dry. We asked for a side of salsa. The salsa was good!
I ordered a fresh margarita and it was very tangy. I drank about half of it.
We sat at the bar and the bartender was great. She was very friendly and kept my water glass full.
Lots of families in the restaurant dining area. Clean bathrooms.

Beyond Fremont Street resides Nacho Daddy. Old school music videos on the screens. Reasonably priced and decent Street Tacos during Happy Hour. I had the shrimp. They were battered and crispy.
Friendly and interesting banter with the bartender. Wasn’t too busy. It was before dinner. This was a linner meal. Late afternoon. The staff seemed to laugh and gab about enjoying themselves.
Service was quick. It was a pleasure to dine there. The air conditioner worked. Good conversation. Good tunes. I have zero complaints. I was contented. I would like to explore the menu more.
Whilst in Vegas, hop over to Nacho Daddy. You’ll be glad you did.

Deciding to come here was an easy compromise for the meateater BF and me. This place gets automatic points from me for having a vegan menu!
The Vegan Nacho was a MOUNTAIN of ingredients including grilled peppers, onions, corn, salsa and pinto beans. There was veggie patty crumbles that I’m pretty indifferent about however the amount of mushrooms seemed to be minimal compared to the ratio of other ingredients. I also wish it had more guacamole but that’s more of a personal preference. I was impressed with the amount of cheddar and mozzarella Daiya. Jalapeño chips were stacked pretty high and I was happy to see that the ingredients weren’t just piled on top of the chips but layered within the dish. $ 15 may seem pricey for a plate of nachos but this place makes a genuine effort to make the price worth it.
The meateater BF had the Buffalo Hot Nacho which he devoured. I think that means he liked it.
Service was friendly and the atmosphere is casual. I appreciated that this place wasn’t overly cranking the AC like most places do. I understand that Vegas weather is hot but it’s inconvenient to have to carry a light sweater just to stay warm indoors.
Overall, I’m a fan! I predict that we’ll be back to check out other items on the vegan menu :)

The Five Stars is for the service by recieved by Ric. He was awesome through the entire meal. We were greeted inside and it was a beautiful day out despite the wind so we opted for the patio seating. He said no problem and immediately noticed the table needing to be wiped be cause of rain and dust in the air recently. He quickly got a rag and took care of the issue with out us requesting.
Good eye Ric.
He took our drink order promptly and brought them out at the same pace. We were not in a rush by any means but ussually we like to get service going quickly because of the kids and there short attention span. Ric followed up for our order when he could. There was another group asking him what seemed like 1000 questions but like I said I understood the circumstances. We were just enjoying the weather andthe kids were coloring because Ric was ontop of it and brought us the color pages and crayons.
We began to inquire about food options at Nacho Daddy regarding portions and veggie options and he informed us they had an entire page dedicated to Vegan eating. Sweet! Mom said. This was our first meal of the day even though it was 5 in the afternoon. So Ric quickly brought us a great bucket of chips, two salsas, and cheese dip like queso fundido type thing. All were very good. Salsa tasted fresh and homemade with a little bit of heat. Cheese dip was good also.
Mom went with the Black Bean Burger and could not decide between garlic or sweet potato fries, Ric quickly responded with I can split between both if you like. Awesome job again my friend. I went for the BBQ Pulled Pork Nachos, which had very good flavor and a huge portion. My one issue with this dish is that it tasted like the pork had been sitting in the hotwell all day so the meat was very tough and chewy. My jaw bones seriously hurt after finishing this dish. I am not one to complain but that issue did not stop me from killing the entire plate. I give the dish a 3.5 star out of 5 because of the chewyness. Mom had no issues with her burger and fires she had no trouble crushing this dish either.
Overall great first experience. Ric made it 5 stars. He is possibly one of the best in all of DTLV. We had to speak to the manager to let her know about how great Ric was. We will be back to visit Ric soon. The food was also good enough to come back and explore the menu further. Thanks for the good time.

Downtown Las Vegas has plenty new, unique, and tasty restaurants. I wouldn’t go so far to say that this is one of them.
Shabby, not chic, Nacho Daddy’s a restaurant that feels and appears rundown. Music videos from the early to mid-2000’s serenade diners as they crunch down onto their exotic nachos.
Kale Salad ($ 6.95): What a way to make someone feel like a heifer digging in the grass for the «good stuff.» This is an enormous bowl filled with kale and sparse toppings of avocado slices, chunks of grilled corn, and cherry tomatoes. Too much kale and not enough toppings. The dressing, which was an oily citric concoction, didn’t add flavor.
Filet Mignon Carne Asada Nachos ($ 16.95): We paid 16 bucks for some bland-​ass nachos. Though they were loaded with guacamole, pico de gallo, refried beans, cilantro, and «filet mignon,» these were disappointingly flavorless.
The carne asada nachos here don’t even stack up to what my neighborhood Roberto’s offers, or any kind nachos offered elsewhere. Not worth the trip, the cash, the calories, and waking up to the feeling of regret caused by the previous evening’s dinner.
