First time here. Favorite was the tamale (best I have ever had) and the chili relleno was delicious. Desserts were yummy. I didn't care for the chips and salsa which is why it didn't get 5 stars. We WILL definitely be back. Customer service was OUTSTANDING for our group of 11.

My dad and I had a wonderful day out on Lake Erie and were starving as we pulled our jetski out of the water. Mexican food sounded perfect so I did a general search of the Sandusky area for not only a nearby Mexican restaurant but one that could accommodate a trailer in their parking lot. Thankfully Nacho's Mexican restaurant checked all the boxes. The parking lot allowed us to pull through with the trailer attached without blocking traffic or taking up too much room. We were greeted quickly when we walked in, taken to a booth, and provided chips and salsa almost as soon as we sat down. The waiter came by shortly after and took our drink order and made sure he was available if we had any menu questions. I ended up ordering the pollo loco (and a ground beef soft taco on the side) and my dad got the burrito Cozumel (he wanted a burrito like he would get at Chipotle.....) The food came out crazy quick and super fresh and hot. I had to let my tortillas and soft taco cool a few moments before I was able to dig in as everything was indeed as hot as we had been warned by the staff. Flavor wise, the cheese sauce on my dish was great. The chicken was topped with the cheese sauce and a healthy serving of onions with sides of refried beans and rice (and three small soft tortillas) I ended up making three mini tacos with items from my dish. The tortillas seemed house made and they were quite good. The soft taco was excellent, the ground beef was very well seasoned and was a perfect a la carte side. My dad really enjoyed his "chipotle" burrito. Said the steak inside was very seasoned and flavorful. He was quite happy with it overall. Glad we found this restaurant on our trip out to Sandusky this afternoon and would visit again next time we find our way out in Sandusky Bay.

We stopped in for margaritas and an appetizer and were so glad we did! The margaritas were some of the best we’ve had — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The appetizer was delicious and came out quickly, and the service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. This place is a must-try for anyone in the area, whether you’re visiting Cedar Point, Great Wolf Lodge, or Kalahari. You won’t be disappointed!

I've driven by this establishment hundreds of times. Never thought about trying it. HUGE mistake! The food was exceptional, pretty authentic for Sandusky. The service couldn't have been any better. We had a party of 12 and no one ever needed anything. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Great Mexican restaurant right down the street from Cedar Point. My son had the Enchilada Supreme, & I had the Beef Burritos with rice & beans. Food came out fast & hot, & both were delicious. The service was great, & everyone was very polite & attentive. Would definitely recommend it if you're in the area.

Good flavorful Mexican food but not leaps and bounds above the typical. The service however, was fantastic. The food was a solid good and the prices were fair. They get an 8 out of 10 for me. You should definitely give it a shot.

We had a group of 12 and went in pretty late. They accommodated us quickly with setting up tables for us. They took our orders quickly and were very friendly. The food came out very quick and was good. They are one of the only restaurants that stay open later which was perfect for us after we left Cedar Point. Most restaurants close around 9pm, so this worked out perfect. The service was great!!!
