Nachos @ Mel's Burger

Where: Mel's Burger Bar @ 2850 Broadway, New York, New York, United States

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.

Brief Description: Delicious homemade chips and yummy fresh guacamole! Portion size was a little small and these chos could have used a bit more cheese.

Nachos @ Blue Haven

Restaurant: Blue Haven

Location: 108 West Houston, New York, New York, United States

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.

Nachos @ Nice Guy Eddies

Bar: Nice Guy Eddies
Location: E Houston St, New York, United States
Ingredients: Outta the bag tortilla chips, cheddar cheese, chicken, and jalapeños with sour cream and salsa on the side.
Price: $11
Rating: 5
Brief description: So so 'chos. Salsa and sour cream on the side made these 'chos extra dry. Good amount of cheese and jalapeños. Guac was absent and so was Miami. Good place to go and watch Sunday football. Go Steelers!!

Nachos at Saint Marks Ale House

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

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 Diablo's Cantina

Restaurant: Diablo's Cantina
Location: Las Vegas, Nevada
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 La Parrilla

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!

Nachos at Cheesecake Factory

Restaurant: Cheesecake Factory
Location: Menlo Park, NJ
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

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.

Nachos at Sidelines Sports and Karaoke Bar

Restaurant: Nachos at Sidelines Sports and Karaoke Bar
Type: Nachos Grandes
Ingredients: homemade tortilla chips, cheese, pork chili, jalapenos, guac, sour cream, lettuce, and pico de gallo.
Rating: 6



Description: if there's one place on the planet that should get a nachos pass it's Mexico. However, these chos did not live up to my expectations. Started out tasty. Too much topping early on, but not enough to last throughout the entire plate. Lots of naked chips.

Nachos @ LookOut

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!
