    I love nachos. These are great. However, the noise level in here with the less than great music videos on constantly is disappointing. It would be way more enjoyable if it were turned down somewhat.

    The food was delicious. But the giant tv screens with the same video playing and the very loud music is very disturbing while eating or trying to talk. We could not hear the table servers and what they were saying. It’s a Mexican Food restaurant but music was just loud and no theme. Either be a nightclub or restaurant. Sad waste of good and tasty food in awful noisy music atmosphere.

    The food and drinks were great! Large portions. But it is loud, so if you’re looking for an intimate date night, this ain’t it lol. It’s kind of like a Buffalo Wild Wings vibe. Great establishment with great food!

    We got the the crab and lobster nachos, they were half the size of the platters of nachos delivered to other tables, and had a ridiculous amount of jalapeno slices covering them. I had been there before and that same dish was served differently with better portions, it was quite disappointing

    Hostess seemed confused about where to put us. We had a reservation but arrived about 15 minutes early. She said it was ok to sit facing the window so we did. 15 minutes with no service so we went and asked about a server. Who finally arrived and perhaps was overwhelmed … maybe she could help out? Anyway… placed our order for margs and nachos… 20 minutes later we get nachos but no margs. Delivered by kitchen. No server. Finally get margs. No one ever checks to see if we need anything… which we do. Would have loved hot sauce and salt and pepper as the nachos were very bland but no one came by. We ate them anyway because we were hungry but by the time the waiter came by to check we were very annoyed. (We’d run out of food and margs 20 minutes ago) so yeah.

    Way overpriced for what you get. It appears they’re penny pinching- the surf and turf nachos had probably 4 pieces of steak about the size of a nickel, and for $24+ I definitely expect more meat than that! The service was absolutely terrible. The server didn’t check on us a single time after we received our food, so we ate messy nachos without napkins, and cut the kids burritos with the end of a fork since she wasn’t around to give us a knife. Not what you’d expect from a Wednesday night at an overpriced place!

    We made reservations to celebrate a birthday and the table we were shown to was a bar type table at the window so none of us could really talk. We asked for another table and we’re told we would have to wait for another one. If they are taking reservations for events, I would say don’t use that table given the occasion. Poor service all around!

    I expected more from Nacho Daddy. Brought in family from out of town and we had music that wasn’t dinner appropriate blaring on our table. The food was subpar, as i’ve been there before and it was much better. Not too sure if it was just a bad night but we also had all wait staff doing closing duties at 9pm and visually upset when more guests walked in after they cleaned. Don’t think i’ll be coming back just didn’t give me the same appeal as last time and it was way too expensive for how the food tasted.

    Proximity to Vivint Arena is the best thing going for Nacho Daddy (and maybe the wide selection of beers and margaritas). The food was okay—the nachos have lots of toppings but there’s nothing special about the flavor or ingredients. Prices were too high for what was served, in my opinion. Staff, however, was friendly and accommodating.

    Nachos were good. Service was extremely slow. We ordered drinks, received our food and still had not received our drinks after 25 min after the food got there. We were there for about an hour and waited 45 min for our margaritas.

    We had reservations, but only after we arrived for a lunch staff meeting were we informed that they were having technical difficulties, thus we had to scramble to go somewhere else for our lunch staff meeting. Had we been informed before arrival that they were closed until 4pm this would be an entirely different review. It was not very customer service friendly experience.

    The food was very good! The service was slow and they cooked my husband's food exactly the opposite of the way he ordered it. I made him send it back. The prices are a bit high but it's downtown and the food IS GOOD so that's not a big deal. I'll go back, but I'm afraid my husband won't.

    We had nachos and margaritas. Over 1/2 our chips had no cheese on them. We were sat next to the bar, and there was water leaking out from the bar all the way to our table. Bags on the ground soaked, feet soaked, our feet were in puddles. I’ve been here before and loved it. This was an incredibly disappointing experience.

    I’d give this place a B-. Got the fiesta nachos and they were just okay. Pretty soggy and not what I was expecting. Large portions and a lot of protein, but I think it was overpriced for the quality of food/flavor combos.

    The idea is really cool…but in reality the Nacho plates are small and the chips are pretty basic. One of our orders came with way more toppings than chips. We were told that there was no where in the restaurant where the noise was less, which seemed odd. We had to yell across the table.

    I had requested a booth and was offered a high top table instead. I offered to wait and despite having a reservation, two parties were seated in booths before we had a table despite coming in after us. Very confusing.

    Save yourself some money and go to Taco Bell instead. The food was flavorless and the service is terrible. The music was SO loud that our table of 4 could barely hold a conversation. Will not be going back and won’t be trying their sister restaurant Carson’s Kitchen.

    The pork carnitas nachos were super yummy! My chicken enchiladas were just ok. It is a very loud place so if you are looking for quiet this is not the place. Our service was just ok as well nothing spectacular. I think they were training some new employees so I would go back and give it another try.

    We went there for a birthday dinner. Service started out great when an eager new server started our meal. Shortly after, her trainer noticed and he pulled her off our table (it seems we weren't supposed to be her table). From then the entire experience went downhill. We went from a bubbly and friendly server to one that was well… not. The waits got long, service got slow, and food was average (pricey for middle-of-the-road nachos). We only got through one round of drinks in the hour we were there, content to make their money off low-cost foods versus alcohol I suppose. I have eaten at other Nacho Daddy locations where the caliber of food and the level of service were much better than we experienced here, so I don't know if it's the player or the game we need to hate on. But either way, it was a bummer. The quality of food, especially given the fact that nachos are supposed to be the star here (although ours were no better than made-for-tv), can be beaten by any of a hundred Mexican restaurants in the area. Next time, we'll likely choose one of them.

    Love the food at Nacho Daddy, particularly the flaming shrimp tacos, and appreciate the vegan menu for my daughter. Why, on an early Thursday evening, the music must be so loud that it is necessary to speak more loudly to be heard by dining partner directly across table is beyond me. While understandable on a busy weekend evening is this really necessary during slower times when there are fewer patrons in the restaurant?
