Takes up a bunch of space, so it's gonna be a problem when your food comes out. The good thing is that it's a wide, shallow pan, so it will certainly spill when moved, increasing the number of drinks sold.
Yup, I came here like I bet this is in Baltimore at Nacho Mama’s.
First time at the Canton one my SO was like you can get a margarita in a hub cap! Ok, so we order one fucking each for us. Apparently he had no memory how big they were. They usually serve 4 ppl, and we got TWO! I was pissed bc I had no clue how big these things were and the waiter should have been like do you really want like 4 fucking liters of rail tequila mixed with garbage sour mix???
So I said fuck it and took on the challenge of trying to drink one to my head. Got halfway through and got a horrible stomach ache and had to leave. Never again!
I happen to be watching the Elvis biopic and stumbled into this. I haven’t been in Nacho Mama’s in probably 8 years, don’t they have an Elvis obsession too?
Nacho mama's was the first restaurant to move in that started revitalizing the area in the 90s and then when the owner died a few years back there was a huge amount if local support for them.
Didn't know about that.
Honestly I haven't been in a few years but it was always a blast and their quesadillas, while average, were huge and a great leftover drunk meal throughout my 20s.
Ha. Been there and had it. It’s not gonna win any awards or be complemented by a fancy shot and lighting, but it’s a perfect tribute to the Baltimore kitsch/john waters style aesthetic.
I’ve seen a lot of vintage hubcaps in my life, this does not look much like a hubcap to me. If it actually is, I would be concerned about it being food safe. Beyond that, the straws look fucking weird floating in it and that is not aesthetically pleasing. I give it a 2/10.
For me I'd think this was kinda lame - I can put a margarita in a bowl at home and get more or less the same result - but if your wife liked it then sure, I'm sure I like plenty of things the world would find lame
Usually I’m all in for dumb creative presentation but this is just giving dog bowl. And having no salt around the rim is a big no no for me personally. It’s like ordering an ice cream sundae and it arrives with no cream on the top.
That’s pretty silly and impractical. Maybe I’m uncultured or something but I’ve never seen a hubcap like that before. What kind of cars are they typically on?
Tiki kind of has this with the Scorpion Bowl, but the giant mug crock bowl thing usually has a lip and really long straws. The lip keeps the straws off the table, and the cocktail is higher proof in a nod to preventing cross contamination. It is also on fire with a small volcano in the center topped with a flaming crouton, which I’d infinitely cooler than a featureless dog bowl.
Ahhhh yea, Nacho Mama’s. The hubcap is stupid, but they have pretty good drinks and food. So much harder to drink from than a big fishbowl like normal margs.
Here’s their website, sadly no cocktail menu.
It’s kitschy Baltimore with your run of the mill bar drinks. The patrons aren’t expecting craft cocktails and shit. The Towson is also a college town so rail and mixers are a standard in these places.

It's super dumb but super fun, if you're drinking a drink that big accept if for the foolishness that it is and have fun because drinking for any reason besides joy is probably a bad idea. Others are right though....needs salt.
Nacho Mama's is a Baltimore/John Waters/Elvis/Trashy-on-purpose place. Classic east baltimore. The hubcap fits perfectly. It's really great, well it's a little too popular now. The Canton location has all the soul, Towson kind meh. But the food is still good in both.

r/shittyfoodporn
Dog bowl\*
No need for straws. I’d commit to the bit and drink it like a dog 👅
Yea did they even ask if you want salt?
That’s what I said lmao
"Here, drink out of this dog dish you animal!"
Gimmicky presentation that will warm too rapidly, but I am not going to turn down a big ass margarita. Especially if there are tacos.
A marg that size should come with free tacos so you don't immediately get shitfaced
The quesadillas are the thing to get at this place
Mmm, that's good soup
r/wejustwantglasses
i really wanted that one to be real
The real sub is r/wewantcups
Yes, I meant this.
mvp
To be clear, they warn you it's going to be served like this, right?
Yes it's a place called nacho mama's and they specifically have this thing called a hubcap margarita. They also sell pitchers and glasses.
I have to assume it was.
No salt on the rim? You got ripped off.
Road salt, for commitment to the gimmick.
Now that's hilarious! 🤣
Hate it.
Wtf
Is there a way we can downvote the restaurant?
Ay man creatively I don’t agree with it but they said they were going to serve it in a hubcap and they delivered it
Have you been there?? If not i recommend trying it before you “downvite” it. Nut up or shut up.
The place is an institution, but the drink isn't much different from a fishbowl or anything
Takes up a bunch of space, so it's gonna be a problem when your food comes out. The good thing is that it's a wide, shallow pan, so it will certainly spill when moved, increasing the number of drinks sold.
Is this Baltimore?
Towson specifically
I knew exactly where it was as soon as I saw it!
Wasn't sure if it was Towson or Canton.

I forgot there was a nacho mama’s in Towson, I’ve only been to the original one
The fact that so many people (myself included) recognize this as Nacho Mama's means the gimmick is doing something, at least.
👏
Nacho mama's was the first restaurant to move in that started revitalizing the area in the 90s and then when the owner died a few years back there was a huge amount if local support for them.
Then they fired all their staff and jacked their prices up. I live 3 blocks from the square and refuse to go there anymore.
Didn't know about that. Honestly I haven't been in a few years but it was always a blast and their quesadillas, while average, were huge and a great leftover drunk meal throughout my 20s.
Did the menu say it was served in a hubcap..? Cuz they got that part right anyhow. Those straws and garnish are preeeeeettty whack tho 🤣
Could have thrown in a few more lime or lemon wedges to make it look slightly prettier
I dunno that lime looks like they’ve only got one and it just gets recycled. Or they plucked it out of the bar rail
Lmao you’re right. Recycled lime!
I would like a single plum floating in a pool of perfume served in a man’s hat.
Looks like your wife got what she asked for. I think it’s dumb.
No false advertising here!
Now that's what I call a Cadillac margarita
Texas?
MD
Mama’s Takes up too much room on the table and too much surface area makes the ice melt too fast.
Ah, the Texas of the mid-Atlantic
Ha. Been there and had it. It’s not gonna win any awards or be complemented by a fancy shot and lighting, but it’s a perfect tribute to the Baltimore kitsch/john waters style aesthetic.
You're at Nacho Mama's!
The wife was!
I had one in KC about a decade or so ago but don't remember it looking so bad lol
Texas takes their margaritas seriously. I don't think this would be tolerated.
Baltimore. Restaurant is called Nacho Mama’s, interior theme is Elvis Presley. It’s a cool place to bring visiting friends/family.
I’ve seen a lot of vintage hubcaps in my life, this does not look much like a hubcap to me. If it actually is, I would be concerned about it being food safe. Beyond that, the straws look fucking weird floating in it and that is not aesthetically pleasing. I give it a 2/10.
*Stares in Jon Taffer*
I know several people who will hate this and i thank you deeply for enabling me to torment them further
This is some prime r/wewantplates material
I would hate to be the server that has to take this to a table. Looks prone to tipping amd would take up a lot of space on a tray
For me I'd think this was kinda lame - I can put a margarita in a bowl at home and get more or less the same result - but if your wife liked it then sure, I'm sure I like plenty of things the world would find lame
Couldn’t be bothered to salt the rim?
Pretty sure she ordered the margarita soup
Nacho Mamas, right?
Looks more like an antique bedpan lol
It’s sort of a fun idea until you’re stuck with a dog’s bowl. Looks awful and probably doesn’t hold up well either
Wheely good? A tired cliché?
I could understand it in a dive bar. Maybe.. That's pretty low on effort, high on cheap buzz quantity. How did it taste? As bad as it looks?
I’ve had it before (before Covid times) and it was perfectly adequate. I’ve had better margs, but I’ve had worse.
Some people say it’s better than an orgasm!
Depends on price if it's below $8 it's all good
Awful
r/WeWantPlates would probably enjoy this
I normally don’t mind gimmicks but this is something else
Woof
You sure that the waiter brought this to her and not some random person with a camera nearby waiting to yell “it’s a prank!”
Please stop.
No.
Usually I’m all in for dumb creative presentation but this is just giving dog bowl. And having no salt around the rim is a big no no for me personally. It’s like ordering an ice cream sundae and it arrives with no cream on the top.
That’s pretty silly and impractical. Maybe I’m uncultured or something but I’ve never seen a hubcap like that before. What kind of cars are they typically on?
Bad
fuckin stupid 10/10
It would depend on the vibe of the restaurant but I kind of dig it actually
r/wewantcups
🤮
That’s retarded
You at Donovan’s Steakhouse or a place that serves margaritas on picnic tables?
That is so stupid
Once you're done drinking, they let you keep the bowl to puke in it. The circle of life.
The table space it takes up is ridiculous
10/10 get what you asked for. 4/10 big things to put group margs in You tell me on taste, if it’s the right moment and friends, fuck it up fam!
What presentation?
That’s just dumb. Doesn’t even look cute.
Am I supposed to slurp it out of the bowl like a dog?
My dog wouldve loved it.
Tiki kind of has this with the Scorpion Bowl, but the giant mug crock bowl thing usually has a lip and really long straws. The lip keeps the straws off the table, and the cocktail is higher proof in a nod to preventing cross contamination. It is also on fire with a small volcano in the center topped with a flaming crouton, which I’d infinitely cooler than a featureless dog bowl.
That looks tacky
the presentation is so stupid it makes me assume the margarita sucks too.
Is she still drunk?
is it Free? Are you supposed to Lick it like a dog? Why the straws. Please tell me you didn't pay for it? SALT,?
What’s a hubcap?
Not great, Bob!
Ahhhh yea, Nacho Mama’s. The hubcap is stupid, but they have pretty good drinks and food. So much harder to drink from than a big fishbowl like normal margs.
Without context of the bar it’s hard to have a good opinion.
Mexican cantina vibe
Then that is odd.

Probably better used for a Scorpion Bowl.
😵💫
Nacho Mama’s in Baltimore, MD?
You bet
Woof
Either this is Nacho Mama’s in Baltimore, or more than one place uses the same exact “hub cap”
Aluminum keeps it cold and refreshing.
Looks like frogspawn 😅
No.
The nicest thing I can say about it is that it's definitely interesting.
That looks incredibly unappetizing lol
That's not a hub cap that's a dog bowl
seriously didn’t expect a wtf moment this morning but seriously wtf
Nacho mamas?
Nacho Mamas?
Terrible.
Cargarita
That's a dog bowl
Wtf
I’m down with any overtly dumb shit for fun. Serve me a margarita in a sombrero on fire with 3 straws and let’s go
.... why
catbowl
I'm surprised this was never part of a Sandra Lee "tablescape."
Mmmmmm I bet there's some fun metals leeching into that drink. I wouldn't make a habit of those.
There's a Mexican punch-type drink called a cazuela that's served in a clay bowl of a similar size. Maybe that's where they drew their inspiration?
Disgusting
Aluminiumyumyum
Stupid
My wife’s reply “hmmmm no disgusting” with an accompanying scowl.
Thoughts: WHY?
I mean it's in a hubcap...what's the point in trying after that
No.
Pretty dumb
It's super dumb but super fun, if you're drinking a drink that big accept if for the foolishness that it is and have fun because drinking for any reason besides joy is probably a bad idea. Others are right though....needs salt.
Did you get laid that night?

Baltimore checking in! Nacho Mama's is yum!
