| - I feel like I've found a hidden gem here. :)
On the rare occasions I've been subjected to watching the Food Network-in deference to female authority over the remote control-I've caught a glimpse of some television shows that are actually pretty cool. Usually, they consist of some person finding awesome places to eat in unlikely and uncommon places. Well, allow me to introduce you to such a place, as I take the role of celebrity foodie impersonator.
Nacho Mama's is just plain hard to spot. Its tucked away on Kyrene, behind the Fresh 'N Easy on Baseline road in Tempe, and at first glance, the building that it is in looks like just a bunch of offices or something.
However, upon opening the door, I was immediately hit by the quality of this place. I was kind of expecting low budget, and this is definitely NOT that. :) It has a mix of a lounge/pub type of atmosphere, and I could easily spend hours here at the bar. The chairs are comfortable, and actually really shiny. To understand that, you're just going to have to come and see.
I eat out quite a bit (probably more than I should), and it can be hard on your finances. This is one of the reasons why I appreciate the menu here! The prices are lower than anything I've seen for bars in the area ($3 tacos! $5 burgers!). There is also a great happy hour from 3 pm until 7 during the week and all day happy hour on the weekend. This is great for long days watching football on Sundays or other sporting events.
The TV's are a nice size and with great picture quality.
So I really hope you are able to try this place out. I just took a bite of one of their tacos, and they are just as good as everything else about this place. Simple. Good. Food.
If you live in the area, I STRONGLY recommend you making this your neighborhood bar. Not a lot of places like these left, and its a lost art I'm glad to see that isn't quite so lost. :)
