Nacho Mama's is Coming to Towson

Fans of Nacho Mama’s will not have to go into the city for their tacos starting in 2016.

The Tex-Mex restaurant is opening a new location—in Towson—according to Baltimore County officials.

The 6,700-square-foot restaurant will be on York Road at Pennsylvania Avenue, county officials said in an announcement Thursday.

“Baltimore County welcomes Nacho Mama’s to Towson with a big ‘Hola, Hon,’” Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz said in a statement.

After renovations to the existing space and pending the transfer of a liquor license, Nacho Mama’s in Towson will open in 2016, the announcement said.

“It has always been our dream to put a Nacho Mama’s into a county location and we are thrilled it’s going to be in Towson,” owner Jackie McCusker said. “...in true Nacho Mama’s fashion, we will continue to celebrate Baltimore’s cheeky culture.”

In addition to ambience, the food in the new location will remain consistent with the O’Donnell Street restaurant’s menu of tacos, quesadillas, margaritas and other staples that patrons have been ordering for more than a decade.

“Folks will be able to enjoy all of the favorites they’ve grown to love on our Canton menu along with daily specials,” Nacho Mama’s co-owner Phil Gelso said. “We pride ourselves on large portions of great food, using fresh ingredients.”

There will be outdoor and private dining areas as well as a bar and casual seating in the York Road location.

Said Gelso: “It’s going to be an exciting opening, and Jackie and I can’t wait to show you our new space.”
