What: Nachos
Rating: 4
Brief Review: Nice and cheesy at first. Didn't like the make ur own with sides of guac, sour cream, and salsa. Scallions and olives were a nice touch. Kinda dry. One chips holds all the topping. OMG it was a super motherchip.

Nachos @ Mary Anns
Restaurant: Mary Ann's Mexican Restaurant
Location: East Village
Rating: 4
Ingredients: Tortilla chips, cheddar cheese, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, jalapenos, and refried beans.
Price: $4.95
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 @ The US Open
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 at San Loco
Location: 124 Second Avenue, btw 7th and St. Marks Place
Type: Macho Nachos
Menu Description: Tortilla chips piled high with shredded cheddar, lettuce, pico de gallo, guacamole, jalapenos, sour cream and cheese.
Cost: $8.10 (with chipotle chicken)
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 Juan and Jamies
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.
Nachos at Mustang Harry's
Location: 352 Seventh Avenue NY, NY
Type: Nachos
Ingredients: Tortilla chips, refried beans, cheddar cheese, sour cream, and pico de gallo.
Cost: $8.95
Rating: 4
Brief Review: Wet nachos! No guacamole and pretty small portion size.
5.25.2009: Nachos at Tootsies in London
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)
12-29-2008: Nachos at The Knickerbocker
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.
7.15.2008: Nachos at Stillwater
Restaurant: Stillwater
Location: 78 E 4th St, NYC
Type: Nachos
Ingredients: Tortilla chips, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and jalapeños.
Cost: ?
Rating: 4
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.
6.26.2008: Nachos at Merchants
Restaurant: Merchants
Location: 112 7th Avenue (between 17th and 18th streets)
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.
6.21.2008: Nachos at Papacitos
Restaurant: Papacitos
Location: Greenpoint, Brooklyn
Type: "Super Nachos"
Ingredients: Tortilla chips, nacho cheese sauce (like cheese whiz), beans, jalapeños, cilantro, sour cream & salsa
Cost: $7
Rating: 4
Brief Description: The cheese whiz was a huge disappointment and an unforgivable error. Overall, the flavors were a little thin aside from the jalapeños. I expected more from Papacito.

Type: Nachos Indiana
Ingredients: Chips de mais, fromage fondu, piments, poulet, guacamole, and créme fraîche.

Type: "Super Nachos" sans chilli con carne
Ingredients: Tortilla chips,swiss cheese, beans, jalapeños, cilantro, sour cream, salsa, and a single olive

Brief Description: Stale chips, fake guacamole (pretty sure it wasn't fresh and came from a box). No sour cream, but at least they understood the concept of nachos.
