Great Mexican Restaurant with lots of atmosphere. The staff is attentive and the food is very good. This restaurant would be a great first date restaurant...the tables are separated well, which allows for good conversation (without yelling). I have visited the restaurant several times, and the service has always been great. I look forward to dining there again in the future.

Out of the Mexican restaurants in the Bellevue area, I would say this one is the best. It is clean, service is good and they have a unique type of decor. But just like any regular old Mexican restaurant, sometimes the food is great and sometimes it's not the best. There doesn't seem to be a consistent product. Except for the margaritas, they are always great. I generally get the fajitas or pollo loco. The pollo loco has always been good, and the fajitas are so/so. Same goes with chips and salsa. I have visited the restaurant when they are great, and other times when they are average. The prices are your traditional Mexican restaurant pricing. But as I said earlier, it is our first choice of Mexican restaurants in the area. It's a great place for large groups and families.

Eat here frequently as we live nearby. Not the highest quality but for Mexican food has been consistently good. Service is good and as expected. Dont drink alcohol so i cant comment on their drinks but they have a full bar. Seldom busy and have an outdoor area.

The ground beef in the tacos was probably the worst I've ever tasted. My son (who loves Mexican) wouldn't eat his, after trying a bite I wouldn't eat it either. I did somewhat enjoy the "Nachos La Lola" though.

Quality food and a great staff. Charming atmosphere, full bar with local brew on tap. The happy hour two for one margaritas are good but try the Margarita Oro. There are several good items on the menu but I always go back to my favorite, the Burrito Monterrey. The staff will treat you like family and you will leave stuffed but happy.

I had to try a Mexican place called Nachos! But its just a Mexican place with nicer decor. Prices are the same as most standard Mexican joints... $7.49 combo platter, $3.00 for cheese dip you know the scoop. Our server was all smiles (probably because of our thirst of margaritas and flirty eyes) and was very prompt and nice. The food was just okay. There were alot of families with ninos in there because when the food is cheap that's where the kids are! I'll be back to nachos, I like the decor and service but probably just stick to the drinks.

I wish I could say I loved this place, because I like places where I can consume a pitcher of margarita and not be very far from home, but I can't. We kind of liked this place when it first opened, but it seems to get worse and worse every time. Chips are always stale, beans never taste fresh, fajita veggies seem like they come from a can, food is never more than lukewarm, and server is usually nowhere to be found after food is brought to the table. On a positive note, the carnitas aren't bad, but that is all I can really think of. There are too many better options that are worth the extra time driving to get there.

Surprised to see all the good reviews here for this place. We have tried it a handful of times and each time swear we will never go back. Food horridly bland, salsa seems to have ketchup in it, guac tastes like that pre-packaged junk you get at Publix next door. Service also has been really bad, with long waits for no reason. Maybe we have just had bad luck each time. But truly I cannot believe this place stays open.

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant, ever! Enchiladas Suizas that I only wish I could make at home? Check. Delicious salsa and margaritas? Check. Friendly wait staff? Check check! My favorite thing about this place though, is the ability to substitute healthy(ier) sides. I would probably drive most wait staff crazy with all my special orders (thank you, Weight Watchers), but thank goodness, they are very tolerant of me here! I will usually order the Pollo Hawaiiano with vegetables. Can't go wrong with this one! On the other hand, if you're willing to suffer the wrath of your WW meeting leader and jonesing for dessert, this place is in dangerous proximity to Marble Slab. The Rocky Road is a great coda after enchiladas and margaritas...just saying. Be prepared for a crowded entryway if you go on Friday or Saturday night. Looks like a lot of Bellevue patrons have caught on to this place.

This WAS my favorite Mexican restaurant in Bellevue, but the customer service quickly made them my least favorite/will never visit again/let everyone I know about my experience Mexican restaurant. I religiously ordered take out from this location at least once a week for years and never had a problem. It was always vegetarian, no modifications at all, just straight forward. The last time I was there, I got home to discover our food included meat. Everything on the ticket was vegetarian and of the 3 meals 2 of them included meat. Like any person would do, I called the restaurant to let them know of the mistake. The person who answered didn't know what to do, told me the manager would be there in 15 minutes and to call back. When calling back, I talked to someone else who said the manager would be there in an hour. I called back again, still no manager and left my phone number. Never hearing anything back, I called one more time. I finally spoke with the manager who accused me of lying. Not only accused me of lying, but accused me of trying to scam them out of free food. I never mentioned anything past 2 of the 3 vegetarian meals containing meat. He said he was tired of me calling every week trying to get free food. Never mind I order at least weekly from this location, I had NEVER called about a complaint ever. I have NEVER received worse customer service from a restaurant in my life. To make matters even worse, when I calmly tried to explain to him that he is getting me confused with someone else as I had never complained about anything previously, he was quick to be defensive and say "I understand. I speak English, don't say I don't." What??? And done. I wound up calling the Franklin location, to lodge a complaint and never heard anything back. I will not be going to this restaurant ever again. The 2 stars pain me to give them, but I actually like the food.

If you are looking for a Mexican Restaurant with average price points on food and alcoholic beverages (aka our favorites, Margaritas), then I think Nachos is a good spot. It is not fancy, but it is more than just a hole in the wall Mexican joint. It is very causal and has a nice family vibe as well. It has a nice store front location in a newer shopping center. They have patio seating, and the restrooms are very clean and nice. When you walk in the front door, you will be pleased to see a 100 on the inspection sheet performed by the health department. We got a top shelf pitcher of margaritas for $23. Between three of us, we each had about 2.5 drinks from the pitcher. This is a very good deal, especially on top shelf liquor. It averages about $2 and some change for a yummy adult beverage. The service is very good and prompt. We all got full entrees, guac, cheese dip, and a pitcher of top shelf margaritas for about $65-70, plus tip. That is money well spent!

I really, really wanted to like this place, primarily because it's less than 5 minutes from my house. Sadly, no. Just no. Service was slow and borderline civil, and even though it was 1:00, there were only two servers on duty. Chips were thick and tasted stale. The salsa was good - the best part of the meal, IMO. Cheese dip wasn't even as good as the stuff you can buy at the grocery store. My chile relleno was probably the worst I've ever had, somehow managing to be tasteless AND having chemical overtones. Taco meat was totally unseasoned and watery. The refried beans and guacamole salad were good, but nothing special. Now we know, and we won't make the same mistake again. Pancho's in Franklin remains my favorite (even though it's a bit of a drive from Bellevue), with Border Cantina a close second.

The enchilada and the burrito tasted the same, and both tasted like the Chef Boyardee version of Mexican food. The taco was so laden with grease, I literally had to wring it over a napkin. There are many many better versions of this low-end fast casual Mexican with much fresher tastier food, drive on.

For my money this is one of the better tex-mex places east of the Mississippi. It's not anywhere near the quality of good tex-mex in Texas or Arizona but it's not bad either. They work had to please you with what they have - fish included. I've often asked for their pork instead of the beef or chicken that some dishes use by default. It's usually a winner. They are happy to add fresh jalapeno or poblano slices to your fajitas to jazz it up for you as well. Just be certain to let them know you want the bell-peppers too or the cook might substitute instead. Their drinks are not whoo-hoo fantastic but they are pretty darn cheap during happy hour. Some of the cheapest in town. I give them a 5 star for effort.

I have always rather liked this place. Pretty decent food and decor. However, we had a terrible experience with the manager. Started the evening with a decent salsa and bean dip. But, when our entrees arrived, the shrimp in both my children's chimichangas was bad. I was appalled, but determined not to make a big deal about it. We politely asked that they take it back and give us something else. We waited for our dinner as my kids gulped water to get the nasty taste out of their mouths. The manager, actually came out with my daughter's plate and argued that ir was fine! He then went on to say that the dish was expensive and that we should not have ordered it at all! I was stunned. Mistakes happen. But this kind of terrible customer service is inexcusable. We will never go there again.

The food isn't bad but the margaritas are NOT impressive. I like to be able to taste the tequila, lime and salt... but with these, it's mostly mix. If mix is your thing, then you'll love them

The Mexican American Rocho family cooked me a carnitas plate. Good, and the saltiness reminded me to get a margarita to wash it down. Obviously the far Bellevue Nachos has nachos dishes, but also all the common Mexican dishes.

When this restaurant first opened, my friends and I really liked it and went often, nearly once a week. The decor is very nice and it felt "high-end" as far as Mexican restaurants go. The food was always tasty and the servers were very friendly, too. But that's where the compliments end. Unfortunately, during my last trip there, I ordered the chicken fajita salad and it came with a nice side of salmonella poisoning. I was incredibly sick for nearly 3 days and even had to go to the hospital. Not sure what went wrong, but I have sworn off Nacho's forever. Beware.

Pretty good mexican food with a good variety compared to other mexican places. They have my favorite queso dip in town. It's new so it's clean and fresh inside. staff are friendly and quick and the language barrier is not that bad. The food has flavor with a variety of flavor unlike most of the local mexican places, which tend to taste bland.

My husband and I have been going to Nacho's since they opened two years ago and have generally enjoyed their food and service. We went to lunch there today and I ordered the lunch enchilada plate while my husband ordered the fish. They delivered my meal, twenty minutes later I was finished and my husband still hadn't received his plate. The server avoided us and when we got up to leave and asked to just pay for what we ate, he said it was "almost" done and that we would have to pay for it so we might as well take it home. We walked up to pay our bill and the person at the cash register said we were responsible for paying for it. I refused, my husband agreed to pay half. I expressed my disappointment and told him that I would never come back and would write negative reviews on food web sites and he said, "Fine, don't come back again. I don't care." I think I can safely say I won't be going back and I would advise you to support Las Palmas across the street instead.

I really, really like Nachos. Absolutely one of our go-to places on the west side. You know how some places just feel comfortable and familiar and reliable? This is one of those places for me. Very friendly service. We can always get a table - or a place at the bar. They immediately bring chips and salsa to the table. AND they make a mean top shelf margarita (skip the house margarita). There are some days that is more important than others, if you know what I mean. Lately, the chips have been served warm and crispy and fresh. Hope that keeps up! No salt on the chips, which is ok by me since the salsa is good. I've eaten several different dishes here. My favorites are probably the Pollo Bandido - flavorful chicken with a delicious cheese sauce, fish tacos - a huge amount of fish, and the taco salad with chicken - tons of chicken with a really great flavor served with guacamole and other yummies in a crispy shell. Some nights get busier than others. They sometimes have a trivia night, if you are into that kind of thing. Other nights there is live music. There are usually plenty of kids there, so definitely a family-friendly spot. Maybe it's not the most inventive mexican place in town, but comfy and delicious every time. Did I mention that I like Nachos? I do. I really do.

I want to break up with Jason S and Zim O over this place. YOU ARE SUCH BOYS...you are banished to My Space for giving this place 3 to 5 (!!) stars. I mean, seriously, lets talk about everything smothered in cheese, stale chips, cheap tequila for high prices horrors. Yes, the staff are nice. Honest. But if you close at 10, you can't side eye the guests who show up at 9:15 and stand there staring at them to leave at 10:05. Close the dang kitchen at 9 for Pete's sake. (Not sure who Pete is, but really, close the kitchen). I got a burrito with "light cheese" which I believe is Spanish for 'all the cheese in the kitchen, please'. I made a giant pile of cheese in the corner of my plate and our waiter never even noticed it as he took away my 1/3 eaten food. Clearly not looking for quality here..... I like Mexican food, but am not loving it, and mostly go to mexican restaurants, like most people, to eat chips and drink margaritas. Alas, even these were fails. The chips were crazy salty and their version of a good margarita involved pouring as much tequila into a glass as humanly possible. Maybe that's why Zim and Jason liked it? :-) If you're salt deprived and desperate for food, sure, I guess....go here.

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Great Mexican Restaurant with lots of atmosphere. The staff is attentive and the food is very good.

Except for the margaritas, they are always great. I generally get the fajitas or pollo loco. The pollo loco has always been good, and the fajitas are so/so. Same goes with chips and salsa.

Ever feel like you don't really need to look at a menu in a standard Mexican food restaurant? It's like they all pretty much have the same menu, right? Nachos in Bellevue is that place, but they have a just enough specials that differentiate themselves from the standard 'tacos, enchiladas, fajitas' fare that sets them apart. They have a very large vegetarian menu portion, which is great for my veggie wife - another nice change of pace. They do have really good cheap draft beer and drink specials (2 for 1) during a long happy hour of 3-7 on either Monday thru Wednesday or Thursday, not sure which. Their house marguarita may not be a labor of love, but it sure gets the job done. The layout is very nice and upscale; the restaurant took over the old 'One Hundred West' white tablecloth restaurant (it was an upscale $20-$30 per entrée restaurant that imploded in short order). I would generally rate this restaurant a 3-star, but the one thing that has set this particular restaurant apart is their service. Super friendly from the second you walk in, it isn't uncommon to have your hand shaken by the maître d' as you walk in. The servers have also been super helpful, which is great if you have a toddler like we do. The last time we were in there, the server (Chuy?) couldn't stop mussing my son's hair and engaging the 'little amigo', the little guy wouldn't stop giggling. And they are prompt. Like I am pretty sure there is either a time machine or Minority Report-type setup in back to prognosticate what you've ordered. Don't think I've ever had to wait longer than 2 minutes to get a beverage or 10 minutes to get an entrée, and I'm pretty sure the chips and salsa apparate on your table when you arrive. Again, a life-saver if you have a hungry, cranky spouse and a two year old built like a linebacker. Keep your eye out for coupons - they frequently pop up in 'The Clipper' and other places. They also have no problems splitting checks, either.

Very friendly service. We can always get a table - or a place at the bar. They immediately bring chips and salsa to the table. AND they make a mean top shelf margarita (skip the house margarita). There are some days that is more important than others, if you know what I mean. Lately, the chips have been served warm and crispy and fresh. Hope that keeps up! No salt on the chips, which is ok by me since the salsa is good. I've eaten several different dishes here. My favorites are probably the Pollo Bandido - flavorful chicken with a delicious cheese sauce, fish tacos - a huge amount of fish, and the taco salad with chicken - tons of chicken with a really great flavor served with guacamole and other yummies in a crispy shell. Some nights get busier than others. They sometimes have a trivia night, if you are into that kind of thing. Other nights there is live music. There are usually plenty of kids there, so definitely a family-friendly spot. Maybe it's not the most inventive mexican place in town, but comfy and delicious every time. Did I mention that I like Nachos? I do. I really do.

I want to break up with Jason S and Zim O over this place. YOU ARE SUCH BOYS...you are banished to My Space for giving this place 3 to 5 (!!) stars. I mean, seriously, lets talk about everything smothered in cheese, stale chips, cheap tequila for high prices horrors. Yes, the staff are nice. Honest. But if you close at 10, you can't side eye the guests who show up at 9:15 and stand there staring at them to leave at 10:05. Close the dang kitchen at 9 for Pete's sake. (Not sure who Pete is, but really, close the kitchen). I got a burrito with "light cheese" which I believe is Spanish for 'all the cheese in the kitchen, please'. I made a giant pile of cheese in the corner of my plate and our waiter never even noticed it as he took away my 1/3 eaten food. Clearly not looking for quality here..... I like Mexican food, but am not loving it, and mostly go to mexican restaurants, like most people, to eat chips and drink margaritas. Alas, even these were fails. The chips were crazy salty and their version of a good margarita involved pouring as much tequila into a glass as humanly possible. Maybe that's why Zim and Jason liked it? :-) If you're salt deprived and desperate for food, sure, I guess....go here.
