Nacho Daddy is a lively, modern Mexican–Tex-Mex restaurant with a party-friendly vibe, creative cocktails, and large, shareable plates. The Las Vegas Strip location (corner of Harmon Ave & Las Vegas Blvd) offers the full menu of nachos, tacos, fajitas, enchiladas, burritos, and a dedicated vegan menu.

Nacho Daddy markets itself as allergy-friendly and lifestyle-friendly; their menu includes notes for certain allergens, though the kitchen is not allergen-free, and cross-contamination is possible.

Dietary and Allergy Accommodations

Gluten-Free

Nacho Daddy offers multiple menu items labeled gluten-free, such as:

  • Fiesta Nachos
  • Supreme Tostada Nachos
  • Enchilada Nachos
  • Fajita Nachos

Some diners report that certain locations use a dedicated fryer during specific times to reduce cross-contamination risk. While many celiac and gluten-sensitive diners have safely eaten here, Nacho Daddy notes that items cannot be guaranteed 100% gluten-free due to shared kitchen space.

Tip: Always inform your server and request use of the separate fryer or clean prep area.

Dairy-Free

Most of Nacho Daddy’s vegan items are naturally dairy-free. The restaurant offers vegan cheese, sour cream, and queso as substitutes on many dishes. These options allow for a wide range of dairy-free nachos, tacos, and enchiladas.

As with other allergens, cross-contact is possible, so sensitive diners should notify staff before ordering.

Pescatarian

Pescatarian diners have several flavorful options, including:

  • Shrimp fajitas
  • Grilled fish tacos (ask for grilled instead of fried)
  • Ceviche

These dishes make Nacho Daddy a solid choice for pescatarians seeking variety on the Strip.

Vegan

Nacho Daddy is one of the most vegan-friendly Mexican restaurants in Las Vegas. They offer a separate vegan menu with tacos, burritos, quesadillas, enchiladas, and chimichangas — all featuring vegan queso, vegan sour cream, and plant-based chick’n.

Popular vegan dishes include:

  • Vegan Chick’n Nachos
  • Vegan Loaded Nachos
  • Vegan Enchiladas
  • Vegan Chimichanga

Reviewers on HappyCow and Yelp frequently praise the flavor and presentation of these vegan options.

Unmet Diets or Allergies

Some diets and allergies are not directly accommodated

Nut-Free

Nacho Daddy does not advertise itself as a nut-free restaurant. While nuts are not a major component of their dishes, peanuts and tree nuts may be present in the kitchen. Guests with nut allergies should exercise caution and speak directly with the manager.

Keto

There’s no official keto menu, but keto diners can customize their orders. For example:

  • Fajitas without tortillas, beans, or rice
  • Protein-forward dishes with extra veggies

Sauces and dressings may contain sugar or starch, so confirm ingredients before ordering.

Paleo

The menu is not designed for paleo diets, but some dishes — like fajitas with grilled meats and vegetables — can be adapted by omitting dairy, grains, and beans. Paleo guests will find limited direct options.

Whole30

Nacho Daddy does not advertise any Whole30-compliant menu items. While proteins like grilled shrimp or steak may be close, the use of non-compliant oils, sauces, and seasonings means Whole30 diners will need to ask for heavy modifications.

Kosher

No kosher certification or separation of meat and dairy

Halal

No halal-certified proteins or preparation areas

Reviewers Rave About

Reviewers across Yelp, HappyCow, and Find Me Gluten Free consistently praise the following dishes:

  • Vegan Chick’n Nachos / Vegan Loaded Nachos — a hearty, flavorful vegan option featuring house-made vegan queso, black beans, and guacamole.
  • Fiesta Nachos — one of their most popular gluten-free-friendly nachos, perfect for sharing.
  • Filet Mignon Nachos / Filet Fajitas — premium, flavorful meat dishes that often top diner recommendations.

Nacho Daddy stands out on the Las Vegas Strip for its robust vegan menu and clearly labeled gluten-free options — a rare combination in casual Mexican dining. However, the kitchen is not allergen-free, so guests with severe sensitivities should remain cautious.

Pro tips for special diets:

  • Call ahead and notify the staff about your dietary needs.
  • Ask for separate prep areas and utensils when possible.
  • Stick to labeled vegan or gluten-free menu items for best results.
