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.

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)
