Loved the look and the awesome smells that eminated throughout the restaurant. We had to ask a server to help us because no one came over. She was very pleasant. I had to send my draft beer back because it was flat. We got the wings and they were huge! Very tasty. Cooked perfectly. The chips were good but the salsa was like ketchup and something else. We didn’t eat it. The 2 beers and wings came to $27.00. We tried it and we’ll try other places to eat the next time. The owner was such a wonderful person and we enjoyed speaking with him.

This place is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the eclectic, groovy atmosphere sets the vibe—fun, welcoming, and full of character. The wait staff is outstanding: friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to make recommendations and keep everything flowing smoothly.
The food is amazing—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish we tried was spot-on, from perfectly seasoned classics to creative twists that really stand out. And the mixed drinks? Top-notch. Balanced, bold, and expertly crafted—easily some of the best cocktails I’ve had at a Mexican restaurant.
Great energy, great people, incredible food and drinks. This is the kind of place you can’t wait to come back to—and absolutely will.

Googled this place on the way to Carolina for a healthy dinner / lunch and it was the best choice! Food is phenomenal , very tasty, full of flavor, healthy and everything is cooked/ fried in Beef tallow oil which is a huge plus and much appreciated. The staff is amazing and had a chance to meet the owners: this is why this place is so great because of them! So much love, hard work that they put into their place and the food , you can taste it and experience it. You feel like a friend/ friend coming in there. Had to stop on the way back as well , just to get that amazing food and service again. Thank you guys!

20/10 BEST LATIN RESTAURANT! I was pleasantly surprised to find such an authentic and genuinely flavorful restaurant right off the highway. Pardon my comparison, but this is the the average “white people” taqueria. These people are the real deal serving not only the best Latin food in my lifetime, but the ambiance and decor of the place is cozy and inviting. The employees are top notch- you get friendly, attentive service from the moment you step in until the wave goodbye.
We came in for lunch and tried the appetizer sampler and Mama Cuba. The sweet chiltepe wings were perfectly amber in glaze with a slight crunchy bite on the outside that didn’t overcook the meat… The pernil in our sandwich was so tender, the bread fresh. The arepa itself was not dry- incredible! There’s literally nothing on our plates we didn’t lick off. You can tell that every ingredient used was chosen with intent and with love. You can taste the cultural pride in their food.
I only wish the churrascos were available for lunch. Wishing you guys the best success! We’ll be back if we’re in town again.

If you’re in Brunswick, Georgia, you absolutely have to stop at I Am Nacho Mamá — conveniently located next to the new Tru by Hilton Brunswick. This place is truly a hidden Latin restaurant treasure!
From the moment you walk in, you feel the warmth. Yvette, one of the owners, along with her husband and their son Nalen, run this restaurant with so much love, pride, and dedication. Their passion shines through in everything they do.
The food? Absolutely delicious. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, Nalen crafts absolutely delicious cocktails — every bite tastes homemade and full of heart. You can tell they care deeply about quality and about their customers. The portions are generous, the flavors are incredible, and the entire experience is unforgettable.
What makes it even more special is the family atmosphere. They don’t just serve food — they make you feel welcome, appreciated, and at home.
Brunswick is so lucky to have I Am Nacho Mamá. If you haven’t been yet, go! You’ll be glad you did. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ivette and Alan Cleveland, Ohio

Wow! THIS FOOD IS AUTHENTIC. We stopped by here on our way back home to South Carolina, but we are originally from San Diego. The food here is really, really good. What I appreciate is the collection and variety of different foods from all over South America. The owner stopped by our table to tell us about the dishes we were interested in and answered all our questions. Clean, pleasant atmosphere, the servers here were attentive and kind! We will be back here yearly for our trip-home meal!!! We got the Jamaican Mocktail, Sampler Platter, Elote, and the Trio Plate.

I highly recommend the Chicken Carrasco – amazing flavors, moist meat, crispy skin. I didn’t know chicken could taste so good. The beans and rice are a good countrrpoint to the chicken and also delicious. And yes, those are very fresh collards! The vegetables are organic and locally sourced.
The menu is outstanding, with intriguing, exotic dishes. The only problem is that now I must go back so that I can try more.
The atmosphere is fine and the staff was friendly, professional, and welcoming. Chef Carlos came and spoke to us and is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.

The food, service and atmosphere were all 10/10!! I had the pork rib charasco. Excellent char from the grill. Super tender and packed full of flavor. The Brazilian style collards were amazing! The rice and beans were excellent as well. I’m definitely going back and HIGHLY recommend this place. The family is super friendly…

My fiance and I stopped here on a road trip and let me start by saying, the staff is so friendly! We were greeted by all of the employees and who I believe is the owner. Everything that we got was a 10/10. We were unsure of what to get and the steak CHURRASCOS was recommended. I promise that it was the best food I EVER had. It was also enough food for us to share.I will be eating here every time Im in town! Also, their house beer is AMAZING.
