Nacho Mama's
This kitschy spot is practically wallpapered with photos and Baltimore and Elvis memorabilia. A red, white and blue Elvis stands outside the front door welcoming guests to this Tex-Mex establishment. Appetizers include chili con queso dip and crab balls described on the menu as a "Baltimore classic with a Southwest twist." Entrees include Tex-Mex favorites like fajitas, burritos and quesadillas. Guests are welcome to dine as along as they follow the House Rules like "Don't feed the kitchen staff" and "No touching the Barbie cage."
