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.
