About the owner

Nacho Mama's is a family owned restuarant serving Tex-Mex and American fare.
My name is Eric Phillips and I have lived on Marco Island for 24 years with my wife Nancy Phillips and my 4 children Dane, Peyton, Braden, and Jade. I arrived in Marco back in 1985 and met my soon to be partner Tony Rainone. We became great friends. I managed one of his famous restuarants the Crazy Flamingo for over 10 years when we decided to open Nacho Mama's. At first it was a small and quaint establishment seating about 50 people, but as the years went on we decided to expand to where we are now,190 seat indoor and outdoor eatery. We have a full liqour bar featuring over 20 different tequilas, 6 beers on draft, 30 beers in a bottle, and 8 different wines by the glass.We have one of the best margaritas in SW Florida. We Have been in the new place for 4 years during that time my great friend and partner passed away and has been greatly missed. I have continued to do my best from all the knowlege that Tony had taught me. He always said, stay consistant with what you do and the people will come. I have followed that lead, and today Nacho Mama's is 14 years and counting. Tony wll be sorely missed ,but will never be forgotten. Rest in peace my friend!
