★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Bryan H · Jan 2026

I would not go back probably. The ground beef was closer to a chili consistency than taco meat, asada had no flavor, and the service was lack luster at best. I watched one water basically run the whole restaurant while the manager played on his phone and the other waiter disappeared. The best thing was the chicken quesadilla which was average compared to other restaurants

★★★★★ 5.0 Heather C · Feb 2022

Delicious, fast, and friendly! The view is really nice as is the coastal breeze. The margaritas are very tasty and reasonably priced. I really enjoyed the beef nachos with queso.

★★★★★ 5.0 S Tam · Jul 2022

Wow, overall a GREAT experience. We were promptly greeted, sat and served. Everything was good Mexican food. Service was attentive. The Hawaiian fajitas were RIDICULOUS!!!!!! I'll be back for that and the monster 1800 margaritas!!!!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Barbara Morris · Sep 2025

Food was awesome. Waitress seemed to be unsure of her role. She never came back to check on us. We waited a long time for our drinks.Service was poor. Food and atmosphere was a 5 star. But extremly terrible service. We had to contact the cashier to obtain our ticket. She never came back so we left the cash on the table after a long wait.

★★★★★ 5.0 Ally Gillikin · Apr 2024

My boyfriend and I adore dining at Nachos; the food consistently impresses us, and the staff is incredibly welcoming. It feels like a cozy, family-oriented spot. When it comes to Mexican cuisine in Carteret County, Nachos is the only place we dine, and we couldn't be happier with it.
