Nacho Daddy has flair for daily specials

Nacho Daddy is described on its menu as "An American Grill With A Mexican Flair" and, indeed, the selection of nachos, flatbreads, entrees and desserts keeps the Mexican roots of the food front and center.

Marketing manager Jennifer Miller and executive chef Michael Aragonez say the restaurant, at 9925 S. Eastern Ave. in Henderson, is the only Mexican restaurant in the valley that, in response to customer requests, includes a vegan menu.

Nacho Daddy offers specials almost every day. For instance, on Mondays, children younger than 12 eat free with an adult. And, on Sundays, a three-course prime rib dinner is offered for $19.95.

Brunch is served from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Menu items, including breakfast nachos, range in price from $6.95 to $9.95. Brunch also features all-you-can-drink bloody marys .

Nacho Daddy offers a range of specialty cocktails and more than 100 types of tequila.

There also is a kids menu for ages 10 and younger that includes burgers, tacos, nachos, mac and cheese, quesadilla and chicken fingers with a drink for $4.99.
