What: Nachos

What: Irish Nachos - Waffle fries with cheese, real bacon, scallions and sour cream on the side.
Rating: 2
Our Take: These waffle fries guised as nachos were pretty darn delicious. The real bacon was a nice touch! They're more like potato skins than nachos, though.

Nachos @ White Horse Tavern

2011-03-06T17:28:00.004-05:00

Where: White Horse Tavern @ 567 Hudson St., New York, New York, United States

What: Nachos with Chili (Tortilla Chips, Cheddar Cheese, Beef Chili, Guacamole and Sour Cream)

How much: $5.95

Rating: 5

Overall review: The nachos at the White Horse Tavern are exactly what you'd expect at the White Horse. There's nothing fancy going on with these nachos dammit!. The chips are from a bag and the guacamole is from a jar. There are few nice touches, the chili is tasty and the chips are slightly burnt and crispy. Of course the rating goes up depending on how many White Horse Ales you've downed before eating.

About: "Might be the best nachos ever up in hell's kitchen!" The top layer was a Mexican flag of tomatoes, sour cream, peppers, then a cheese layers, then chips mixed in with refried beans.

Nachos @ Irish Times

2011-02-22T12:21:00.000-05:00

Our take: Sometimes Irish pubs get nachos right and sometimes they are just ok. Good place to go before a Knick game for stadium-like nachos.

What: Nachos (Tortilla Chips, Cheddar Cheese, Ground Beef, Salsa, Guacamole and Sour Cream)

How much: $12

Rating: 6

Overall review: These are good nachos that could be great nachos. The biggest problem is the toppings. They're not layered, so they cling to the top of the nachos and never mingle with the chips below. In fact, it was hard to pick up a chip without also taking the whole top. This made for a large plate of naked chips at the end. That said, the nicest touch was the addition of ground beef, which makes perfect sense for a place with great burgers.

Type: In-Betweeners

Price: $10.00

Ingredients: House Made Tortilla Chips, Hand Layered with Cheddar, Mozzarella, Black Olives and Jalapenos, Pico de Gallo, Guacamole and Sour Cream

Rating: 6

Brief Description: These nachos satisfied, but could've used a tad more TLC. The chips were home-made as advertised and tasty but the toppings were sparse. The two tablespoons of salsa on the side was a bit insulting as these nachos would've benefited from more and not less. In fact, drop the beans, which only added blandness, and add more salsa and pico de gallo.

Our Review: These tie with nice guy eddies for bar 'chos. Good flavor and decent portion size. Fair amount of topping. Outta the bag chips and over complicated chip layout made sharing difficult and uneven topping distribution. The chef purposefully surrounded the plate circumference with naked chips. Also a tad dry.

Rating: 4

Ingredients: Tortilla chips, cheddar cheese, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, jalapenos, and refried beans.

Brief description: Good flavors, but only enough for one. Crispy on the edges and great to have sour cream, salsa and guacamole on top, but all the beans made the nachos implode into a soggy mess.

Nachos @ Catina la fiesta

Restaurant: Catina La Fiesta
Type: Cheese nachos with chicken
Rating: 3
Brief Description: Ok chos for Japan. Homemade chips and plenty of cheese and toppings. There were few naked chips! Portion size was on the small side and the cheese was an odd mixture of American cheese sauce and and cheddar.

Nachos @ The US Open

2010-09-10T20:14:00.005-04:00

So, so nachos at the open. Not much different from last year. Round chips, cheese sauce, canned olives, and generous helping of sour cream. Chips were soggy 1/2 way through.

Giving them a 4. Definitely stadium nachos. Good for your nacho fix!

Nachos @ Castaways North Avenue Beach Bar and Grill

2010-08-02T13:27:00.007-04:00

Restaurant: Castaways North Avenue Beach Bar and Grill

Location: 1603 N. Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, United States

Type: Nacho's Nachos

Price: $7.95

Ingredients: Piled high with spicy ground beef, cheese, refried beans, tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, black olives; served with sour cream and salsa on the side.

Rating: 3

Brief Description: On the menu Nacho's Nachos at Castaways sound super yummy, but on the table they're a different mess altogether. Piled high? Nope. Instead the chips are spread flat across the plate making them appear larger than what they really are. Cheese? Well if you consider cheese-flavored goo to be cheese, well then I guess it is cheese. The toppings? Well the only redeeming quality these nachos have is the nice mixture of chili and refried beans, which made them worth finishing. In the end, however, these sloppy stadium nachos are probably not worth your time.

Chilaquiles @ Kitsch'n Chicago

2010-08-02T12:57:00.012-04:00

Restaurant: Kitsch'n Chicago

Location: 2005 West Roscoe Street, Chicago, United States

Type: Kitsch'n Chilaquiles

Price: $8.99

Ingredients: A spicy mix of eggs, fried tortillas, smokey chipotle salsa and pepper-jack cheese; served with apple-wood smoked bacon and Texas toast.

Rating: 9

Brief Description: On a recent trip to Chicago our host invited us to sample breakfast nachos. Our response: "Breakfast nachos! Is there such a thing?" And that is how Yummy Nachos discovered the wonderful world of Chilaquiles, a beautiful merger of nachos and eggs. Why this dish is not more common in NYC is beyond us, but now we are on the hunt down. We sampled an assortment of Chilaquiles in the Windy City and many of them tried too hard to be an egg-centric dish. Kitsch'n Chicago gets it right by making their chilaquiles more nacho-y. If there is any drawback, its that the chipotle salsa does not do much to add to the dish. It'd be great if you had the option of other toppings, such as a salsa cruda or a salsa verde.

Nachos @ Phebes

2010-07-24T19:38:00.006-04:00

Restaurant: Phebes

Location: E 4th St, New York, United States

Type: Fiesta Nachos

Price: $9.95

Ingredients: Jack and cheddar cheese, tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, onions, and chicken. Topped with sour cream, guac, and salsa.

Rating: 8

Brief Description: Delicious nachos. Tons of cheese and topping. All toppings were on top, rather than as sides. Few naked chips, great portion size, and did we mention super cheesy?? We wish the chips were homemade, but at least they were tasty. The chicken was a little dry -- try it without, but don't skip on these chos, Phebes certainly didn't!

Nachos at Saint Marks Ale House

2010-07-14T09:57:00.010-04:00

Restaurant: Saint Marks Ale House
Location: 2 Saint Marks Place NY, NY
Type: Tex Mex Nachos
Ingredients: Grilled chicken, black beans, sliced jalapenos, diced tomatoes, monterey jack and cheddar cheese, sour cream, and guacamole.
Price: 10
Rating: 6

Brief Review: There are definitely things to admire about the Nachos at Saint Marks Ale House, particularly the cheese with its slightly burnt edges and it's overall greasiness. However, even with a strong layering of cheese and grease, these nachos quickly dry out due to the unimaginative topping distribution and overcooked chips. If you're on your fourth or fifth beer, then these will certainly hit the spot, but if you want to be fulfilled you may have to look elsewhere on the menu. Total in-betweeners!

Nachos at Flight 151

2010-07-14T09:29:00.024-04:00

Restaurant: Flight 151
Location: 151 8th Avenue NY, NY
Type: Nachos
Cost: $8.95
Rating: 6

Brief Review: These were your typical bar food nachos, better to be eaten standing at the bar instead of sitting down at a table. The cheese and sour cream lasted until the final chip crumb, but the rest of the toppings were minimal and disappeared quickly. Portion size was OK, (or just in-betweeners ). Two plates were needed to satisfy any real hunger. If a bar bite is what your looking for, then these nachos will do the trick.

Nachos at Hills Cafe / Space

2010-06-12T19:40:00.002-04:00

Restaurant: Hills Cafe / Space
Location: 6-10-1 Roppongi Minato-Ku
Price: ¥8000
Rating: 2

Description: These Japanese chos were more conceptual than yummy. They fall under the DIY category. The Hills Cafe understood the nacho basics, but the implementation was poor. Toppings were seriously lacking leaving an unexcusable about of naked chips. Creative use of chopped avocado in place of guacamole.

Nachos at Marfa Restaurant and Bar

Description: Thanks VM for recommending the pork nachos from Marfa in the LES. Highly recommend it with notes of nutmeg and delicious cheeses. I'd give it a solid 8. Not to mention the ambiance--various sequined drag queens from Lucky Chengs (sharing the same building) floating through for cocktails. It's a hoot.

Type: Four Cheese Nachos
Ingredients: Tortilla chips topped with four Mexican cheeses, scallions, guacamole, and sour cream.
Cost: $14
Rating: 6

Brief Description: Pretty good nachos with great homemade chips. Four cheeses on these chos, but one was cheese sauce and left the end of the plate soggy. Guacamole was acceptable, but not flavorful. Scallion rings added some flavor, but overall these nachos were bland. Thx HC for the rating!

Nachos at Margaritaville

2010-05-28T16:44:00.010-04:00

Restaurant: Margaritaville

Location: Cancun, Mexico

Type: Volcano Nachos

Price: $ 170 pesos + $53 pesos for Chicken

Ingredients: Topped with chili beans, guacamole, sour cream, jalapenos, tomatoes, cheese sauce, and shredded cheese.

Description: A ton of nachos. Full of everything you want and lasts forever. Plenty of homemade chips and delicious topping these chos make it to the end. While these chos cheesed it up throughout, major trickers. They used real cheese on top and cheese sauce in the bottom. Keeps you going till the last chip which is something we can't say about half the chos we've tasted.

Nachos at La Parrilla

2010-05-25T22:27:00.018-04:00

Restaurant: La Parrilla

Location: Rosas Retorno 9, Cancún, Mexico

Ingredients: Jalapenos, cheese, chicken, tomato, tortilla chips, and refried beans.

Rating: 7

Description: Great authentic homemade chips. The peppered, chopped chicken was different, surprising, and tasty. Good amount of cheese. Some naked chips and no guac, sour cream, or salsa - these were au naturale! The sliced tomato was a nice touch. Portion size was medium at best. Worth it, but still desperately seeking the diez nachos in Cancun. Thanks SC for the recommend!

Brief Review: Tortilla Flats is a fun, fun place. They got hula hoop contests, bingo contests, and awesome singles events. What they don't have is tasty nachos? Tortilla Flats, if you're reading this, please work to make your nachos as awesome as the rest of your restaurant. No more pizza nachos!

Rating: 4

Brief Review: Nothing at all special about these nachos served up in foil pan. Pretty much glorified chips and salsa nachos with some extra toppings. Ingredients were generally cold. Boring.

Nachos at Cheesecake Factory

Restaurant: Cheesecake Factory

Type: Factory Nachos
Ingredients: Crispy tortilla chips covered with melted cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and salsa with spicy chicken.
Cost: $10.95
Rating: 7

Description: Shockingly the Cheesecake Factory uses homemade chips. It's also a huge serving, although I wouldn't expect anything less for a Cheesecake Factory in a mall in NJ. One complaint: don't leave your the nacho tasters hanging wtih dry chips at the end. Add more toppings!

Nachos at Paris Cafe

2010-05-24T21:45:00.002-04:00

Restaurant: Paris Cafe
Location: New York, NY
Type: Nachos
Ingredients: Chips, chili, sharp cheddar, salsa, jalapeño, and sour cream
Cost: $ 9.00
Rating: 6

Description: Because the Paris follows one of the cardinal secrets of nacho making, cook your nachos on a metal plate, these nachos had some good qualities. The chips had yummy burnt edges and the cheese was cooked nice and crispy. Sadly, the salsa and guacamole came from a jar. Also, there were way too many naked chips once the toppings were gone. I should also add that The Paris was willing to experiment. We were in the mood for some chicken on our nachos, and while they looked at us like were nuts, they did it anyway. So points added there.

Ingredients: Chilli beans, crema agria, guacamole, salsa mexicana, lechuga y jalapeno frecso.

Rating: 8

Description: Delicious homemade chips. Spoke with the waiter and he gave us the skinny on these chos. They buy the corn tortillas in downtown Playa del Carmen and fry them up at Aqua Grill. The cheese is mozzerella and the plate is first layered with refried beans then chips, cheese, more beans, japapenos, chips, cheese, beans, jalapenos....you get the picture. They layer their chos in Mexico. Wish others could take a tip from the nacho homeland. Yummy all around. Great toppings, no nakeds, and lots of cheese. Less bean would make them even tastier!

Nachos at The Bank

2010-04-24T21:13:00.000-04:00

Restaurant: The Bank
Location: Temecula, CA
Type: Nachos Supreme Crab
Ingredients: Homemade chips, cheese, black olives, crab meat, guacamole, sour cream and salsa.
Cost: $11.95
Rating: 8

Description: They definitely do nachos right in California, and The Bank is no exception. These chips have loads of cheese and toppings, such as the black olives, which added an extra layer of yumminess. The only complaint was that the chips were just so-so. Also a page from the "never-saw-that-before" book, The Bank placed the guacamole and sour cream on top of nachos in nacho chip made ramequins. It's a great idea and it makes for an automatic motherchip!

Ingredients: Frijoles, simmered tomato sauce, sour cream and guacamole.
Cost: 8.75
Rating: 8

Description: I'm not sure who came up with the Sonara Style Nachos, but they definitely took a page from Carmen's playbook. There's really not too much of a difference, except that they add the traditional nacho sides, i.e., tomatoes, sour cream and guacamole. If you want to experience old school nachos at their best, go for Carmen's original. If you're jonesing for some good modern style nachos, go for the Sonara style.

Location: Phoenix, AZ
Type: Nachos
Ingredients: Chips, chicken, pico de gallo, olives, scallions, guacamole
Cost: $5.75
Rating: 4

Brief Review: These were totally faux chos. You'd think a place with Juan in the name would know how to make a cho or two. They used frozen chicken and canned olives, which wouldn't be so bad if they had just covered it with cheese, but they even skimped on the cheese.

Rating: 8

Description: Yummy homemade chips with lots of topping. Layers of cheese and topping made this plate of nachos super tasty. Plus, Macayos let's you make your own!!!!! Other options included beef and pork. Chips were a little thin and couldn't hold the enormous layers of cheese and guac! If you're in Phoenix Macayos is a definite go to for chos.

Type: Virgil's BBQ Nachos
Ingredients: Tortilla chips, BBQ sauce, pulled pork, beef, cheese, and jalapenos.
Cost: $12.25
Rating: 6

Brief Review: Decent portion size and the cheese was tasty. However, the addition of BBQ sauce to the nacho plate was disastrous! Soggy chips and an overly sweet flavor. Some naked chips. Worse yet they weren't homemade! Missing some key nacho ingredients including sour cream, salsa, and guacamole. A good effort on the part of RPM Fall 2009!

Brief Review: Nachos were cold. Standard condiment stand cheese (cheese whiz). Boring outta-the-bag round chips. Salsa and beans served on the side. The chicken was pretty decent, but don't bother these nachos. Go for the lobster roll at the US Open.

Ingredients: Shaved potatoes, brie cheese, lobster, monterrey jack cheese, cheddar cheese, rock shrimp, jalapenos, lettuce and tomato.
Cost: $8.00
Rating: 7

Brief Review: These nachos rate high on creativity because of their homemade potato (NOT TORTILLA) chips. Seafood was good but nachos were seriously missing salsa and real integration between the cheese and other toppings. Chips didn't hold up as well as tortilla chips would have. Great staff, service, and ambiance.

Brief Review: As expected these french nachos were generous with the cheese. The beans, salsa, crème and pico de gallo were very good, but not well integrated. More like "dip chips", a new category for yummy nachos. This is where all the toppings are in the middle and you grab a chip to dip. Terrible guacamole. Lots of broken chips and crumbs - the worst faux paux for nachos yet! (see lower right hand corner)

Rating: 9

Brief Review: Super awesome nachos! Fresh lettuce, huge portion size, great flavors, if you like BBQ nachos. The BBQ sauce added a great flavor throughout. Lots of cheese and sour cream. Nachos could have used a bit more chicken and little topping was left at the end. Starting to think New England really knows their nachos!!!!!!!!!

Nice avocados too! They also have a regular $6 nacho.

Ingredients: Tortillas, refried beans, salsa, sour cream, olives jalapenos, tomatoes, and cheese (cheddar and cheese whiz).
Cost: $7.95 + 4.00 for chicken
Rating: 7

Brief Review: Great portion size, lots of toppings. Interesting combination of shredded cheddar and cheese whiz. Chips were disappointing. Lots of "queen mother chips" and too many of naked chips left at the end.

Nachos at La Superica

2009-07-22T13:03:00.014-04:00

Restaurant: La Superica
Location: 1 Main Street, Sag Harbor, NY
Type: Nachos
Menu Description: Nachos with beans, cheese, sour cream, guacamole and jalapeños.
Cost: $10.85
Rating: 8

Brief Review: Chips were basic, nothing special. Excellent presentation with tons of melted cheese (muenster!!!!) with a layer underneath! Chips, black olives, jalapeños, guacamole and diced tomato were piled high. What keeps this from a 9 or 10 is the chips not being very special. Easily enough for two.

Second Review: Great nachos. The cheese was excellent. The portion could have been a little more generous. Had to ask for salsa, which came on the side. Still an earns an 8 without a doubt!

Nachos at the Carpenters Arms

2009-07-06T09:07:00.006-04:00

Restaurant: Carpenters Arms
Location: 60-70 Whitfield St. London, UK
Type: Nachos (share)
Ingredients: Vintage cheddar, salsa, sour cream, and jalapeños, and deep fried flour tortillas
Cost: £8
Rating: 8

Brief Review: Crispy fried flour tortilla chips! Amazing. Plentiful toppings. Flavorful and a great portion size. The salsa was thick not watery. While these nachos could almost be categorized as chips and salsa nachos, the chips and balance of toppings put this nacho plate (or two) in a league of its own – “British Nachos”! You can also order these with chili.

6.20.2009: Nachos at Heartland Brewery

2009-06-20T00:48:00.000-04:00

Restaurant: Heartland Brewery
Location: 35 Union Square at 17th Street, NYC
Type: Heartland Grande Tex Mex Nachos
Ingredients: Jack and cheddar cheeses, salsa, beef and veggie chili, guacamole, sour cream and jalapeños
Cost: 10.95
Rating: 6

Brief Review: The presentation was encouraging and under it all was a cheese covered plate ( a secret to making great nachos). However, the flavors weren't there. No nacho could stand on its own - fork and knife required. Lots of soggy chips; efforts are needed to preserve the crispiness of the chips. Perhaps, less salsa and chili and more cheese and chip. Also, the portion size was a bit small for two.

6.12.2009: Nachos at Kate's Joint

2009-06-12T01:18:00.000-04:00

Restaurant: Kate's Joint

Type: Nachos Grande
Ingredients: Cripsy tortilla chips topped with black beans, chili, cheese, jalapeños, salad, salsa, and dairy free sour cream.
Cost: 8.95
Rating: 6

Brief Review: Too much bean and soupy. Less lettuce, more salsa. Needed some spice and salt, but survived as decent nachos sans salsa and guacamole. Good portion size.

5.25.2009: Nachos at Tootsies in London

2009-05-28T20:22:00.007-04:00

Restaurant: Tootsies
Location: London, UK
Type: Loaded Nachos
Ingredients: Fresh guacamole, sour cream, turtle bean salsa, grated cheese, and jalapeños. (Added chili beef).
Cost: £6.75
Rating: 4

Brief Review: These UK nachos were watery, sloppy, and small. These nachos are in a whole new category of "make your own nachos". The guac, sour cream, salsa, and beef chili were separated very meticulously across the chips. Tootsies recommended a nice Pinot Grigio to accompany the nachos (as shown above)

5.06.2009: Nachos at Central Bar

2009-05-16T22:13:00.003-04:00

Type: Central Bar Nachos with Chicken
Ingredients: Corn tortilla chips, salsa, guacamole, jalapeños, beans, sour cream, scallions, cheddar cheese, and chicken.
Cost: $10
Rating: 8

Brief Review: Avoid the off-the-menu version of Central Bar's nachos (see left pic). Instead, ask for the customized nachos and you'll get some super yummy nachos (see right pic). The customized nachos were piled high with the works and a generous helping of chicken. The portion size was ridiculous!

3.22.2009: Nachos at Baja Burrito and Cantina

Cost: $6.95 + 1.50 for chicken
Rating: 7

Brief Review: Great chips, huge portion size, and lots of cheese. A perfect combination, but the dish lacked flavor and spice. These nachos could have used some jalapeños, salt, and they forgot the salsa.

Brief Review: Really tasty nachos with Mom's homemade chili. The chips were outta a bag, the salsa was outta jar, but these nachos were cheesy, flavorful and the fresh jalapeños added that extra kick.

Nachos @ LookOut

2009-02-22T20:04:00.002-05:00

In 2011

Where: Lookout Bar and Grill, 2190 Killington Road, Killington, VT
What: Nachos Grande - Crispy tortillas chips piled high with refried beans, black olives, tomato, jalapeno peppers, and cheddar cheese topped with sour cream and homemade guacamole.
How much: $7.95 (with chicken)
Rating: 7
Our take: Decent but messy nachos. Lots of topping caused some soggy chips. The Lookout skimped on the cheese, but the homemade guacamole was delicious! Average to small portion size. We went back and they were even tastier!

Cost: $6.95
Rating: 6

Brief Review: Kinda bland nachos. The toppings were nicely distributed throughout. However, the flavors still didn't come through. It didn't help that the chips were outta a bag.

Brief Review: Bland nachos. They look delicious (especially when served on a paper plate!!), but in this case looks have deceived! These nachos were pretty much flavorless. These nachos could have definately used more salsa and salt.

1.3.2009: Nachos at Siamsa Irish Pub

2009-01-03T15:11:00.008-05:00

Restaurant: Siamsa Irish Pub
Location: 638 Main Street, Stroudsburg, PA
Type: Siamsa Nachos
Ingredients: Corn tortillas topped with cheddar, olives, green onions, tomatoes, shredded lettuce, salsa, chipotle sour cream, beans, and guacamole on the side.
Cost: $8.95 + .50 for beans and + 1.99 for guacamole
Rating: 9

Brief Review: Awesome vegetarian nachos! Lots of topping with all the right ingredients and enough spillover to scoop up with those naked chips. The generous heaping of homemade chipotle sour cream add a delicious flavor. The only negatives were the outta-the-bag chips and the average portion size.

12.31.2008: Nachos at Marzoni's Brick Oven and Brewing

2008-12-31T20:14:00.004-05:00

Restaurant: Marzoni's Brick Oven and Brewing

Type: Brick oven nachos
Ingredients: Tri color corn chips layered with chicken Alfredo and sausage marinara topped with melted mozzarella.
Cost: $7.95 (to share)
Rating: 7

Brief Review: Overall, these were pretty yummy Italian nachos. Great use of sausage and marinara sauce. Decent portion size and nice integration of flavors. However, the chicken alfredo was overkill and the canned olives were unnecessary and tasteless.

12-29-2008: Nachos at The Knickerbocker

2008-12-30T15:59:00.000-05:00

Restaurant: The Knickerbocker
Location: Altoona, PA
Type: Nachos Grande
Ingredients: Homemade tortillas covered with their homemade chili, melted cheese, jalapeño peppers, scallions, homemade salsa, and sour cream.
Cost: $7.25
Rating: 4

Brief Review: AKA, heart attack nachos. The Knick took nachos to a super unhealthy level. The chips were double or triple fried slathered in cheese whiz, jalapeños sour cream, and probably drizzled with oil. Despite the oil induced chips, the homemade salsa, chili, and generous portion of jalapeños made these nachos pretty flavorful.

Cost: $14.50
Rating: 8
Brief Review: Delicious nachos. All the flavors were fantastic. The chips were homemade and the the portion size was huge! These nachos would surely be a 9 if the guacamole, sour cream and salsa were served on top of the nachos, rather than on the side. The toppings didn't stick well to the nachos.

8.24.2008: Nachos at Sharky's Cantina

2008-08-25T11:47:00.009-04:00

Restaurant: Sharky's Cantina
Location: 31 Circuit Avenue, Oaks Bluffs, MA
Type: Sharky's Super Nachos with Lobster
Ingredients: Homemade corn tortilla chips topped with a ton of melted cheese, jalapeños and fresh salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and choice of beans (these had refried beans).
Cost: $19.95
Rating: 10

Brief Review: These nachos were absolutely grand. First off, these nachos had huge chunks of lobster throughout the entire plate. The ingredients were so well integrated there was not one naked chip. These nachos are the example for other nacho makers to follow with fresh homemade chips, salsa, and guacamole, an overly generous portion size, and an extra special treat of a layer of cheese on the bottom of the plate for extra picking. The portion size was too big for two. You could easily split these nachos among four of your closest friends. These were the yummiest nachos I've tasted out of 30 or so tastings over the past year and a half. It was worth the six and half hour trip to Martha's Vineyard just for these nachos.

8.3.2008: Nachos at El Rancho

Ingredients: corn chips topped with beans, melted cheese, jalapenos, and pico de gallo. Served with guacamole and sour cream
Rating: 5

Description: There were a lot of naked chips, which is a no-no in yummynacho's book. The guacamole and sour cream was served on the side and we had to add directly to the chips to give some extra oomph.

Type: Nachos
Ingredients: Round nachos chips topped with cheese whiz, olives, tomatoes, and jalapeños.
Cost: $6.95
Rating: 5

Brief Review: Great portion size and plentiful toppings. These were tasty for basic upstate bar nachos. The cheese whiz and the round salty chips were the big negatives about these nachos. The large portion size and generous toppings were the redeeming qualities.

Type: Nachos
Ingredients: Tortilla chips, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and jalapeños.

Brief Review: Disappointing nachos. The key toppings that added a bit a flavor to these dry and boring nachos were on the side (guac, sour cream, and salsa). The portion size was miniature and the chips were out of a bag.

Brief Review: I'm not a fan of round tortilla chips. However, these nachos were very tasty. The scallions were a nice touch. The portion size was smaller than expected and some naked chips remained at the end.

Type: Thai Nachos
Ingredients: Minced shrimp and chicken in coconut dipping served with crispy shrimp.
Cost: $5
Rating: 2

Brief Description: These are the most interesting chips and salsa nachos I've had! The ingredients were fresh and the dipping sauce was scrumptious. These still do not constitute a superb nacho platter, but they are definitely worth higher than a 1 for flavors alone.

6.26.2008: Nachos at Merchants

Type: "Mini Nachos" (sans ground beef)
Ingredients: Tortilla chips topped with melted cheeses, jalapeños, guacamole, sour cream & salsa
Cost: $7.95
Rating: 4

Brief Description: The portion size was much bigger than mini, however even a large plate of these nachos couldn't up the rating from a 4 to a 5. The cheese was overcooked on the chips. The unimaginative toppings were skimpy and carelessly dumped on top of the chips.

Ingredients: Tortilla chips and guacamole

Rating: 6

Brief Description: There were fair-to-good bar nachos. Great presentation and plentiful toppings. However, half-way through the nacho tasting all those plentiful toppings were gone leaving dry and bland chips. Despite the low rating, they were good enough to eat two plates when accompanied with the many half pints!

Type: Large Sonoran Chicken Nachos
Ingredients: Topped with three cheeses, jalapeños, beans, and chicken

Brief Review: Terrific portion size and cheesy. However, the beans added a bland taste to the nachos and I would have preferred if the nachos were topped with guacamole and sour cream, rather than on the side.

Ingredients: Corn tortilla chips, topped with shredded chicken, along with refried beans, melted cheese, and pickled jalapeños. Served with lettuce and guacamole.
Cost: $9
Rating: 6

Brief Review: These were enchilada nachos; nachos that contained enchilada ingredients and were very messy and soggy. However, they were very yummy! The one downside was the portion size - it was pretty small, but not pizza nachos small. If the portion size was bigger, these nachos would have easily scored a 8 or higher!

Brief Review: There nachos were the perfect size, but the toppings were very separate from one another. Plus they were dry and lacked cheese. The sides of pico de gallo and guacamole were nice, but would I would have preferred the toppings on top of the nachos.

Ingredients: "A mount of corn tortilla chips" topped with stewed chicken, cheddar cheese, sour cream and jalapeños

Ingredients: Tortilla chips topped with BBQ beans, cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce, jalapeños, sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo
Cost: $9.95 + 4.95 for chicken
Rating: 9

Brief Review: This were excellent nachos, if you don't mind BBQ sauce on nachos. The BBQ beans and sauce added a sweetness to the nachos. The cheese actually tasted like cheddar cheese, not waxy or greasy. The pulled chicken while an expensive topping ($4.95) was plentiful and tasty. The only negative is the theme restaurant ambiance, i.e., kids and tourists.

Ingredients: Corn tortilla chips, jalapeños, tomatoes, refried black beans, jack cheese, tomato, cilantro, and onion salsa.
Cost: $7 + $2 for chicken
Rating: 6

Brief Review: These nachos were just ok. Despite the array of toppings they were pretty dry. And it didn't help that there wasn't a drop of salsa anywhere to be found. The black beans (possibly included to give some moisture) added only a dull taste to already boring nachos.

3.1.2008 Nachos at Taqueria Jalapeños

Cost: $6.95
Rating: 8

Brief Review: Cheap and plentiful layers of toppings with plenty of crisp chips

underneath. Lots of bright and diverse flavors from the salsa and guacamole combines with the incredible shredded pork. Many meat toppings available from the mundane beef and chicken to the exotic tongue, and beef head make this a great nacho for any palette stranded in Fort Myers, Florida.

Price: $10.95
Rating: 7

Brief Review: Very good nachos. The portion size was perfect for two.The integration of ingredients was pretty good, however the flavors were a little bland. I wouldn't recommend drinks other than beer. They have a variety of nachos to select (ultra nachos, spinach nachos, mexican nachos, nachos with the works, house nachos). We also tried the Spinach Nachos, which ended up being glorified chips and salsa nachos, just instead with spinach and melted cheese.

Rating: 8

Brief Review: These are best nachos I've had in February! The veggie chilie had a nice smoky sausage taste. The integration of ingredients was perfect. The portion size was a little too small for two to share. The big negative was that Quantum Leap doesn't serve beer, the beverage of choice to accompany any nacho tasting.

Second Review: Wow! The portion size improved from my last review! More sour cream and guacamole. These nachos were even yummier the second time around!

Brief Review: They had no right to call these nachos Super Nachos. There was really nothing super about them. These are comparable to stadium nachos or glorified chips and salsa. However, sans the onions they still tasted pretty good. =)
