Comments: We opted out of getting any meat on the single ‘chos because we already had wings. We did not alter the toppings however, the waiter asked if we wanted cheddar or queso or both and we chose just cheddar. We liked that the jalapeños were fresh versus the typical pickled jalapeños. You can tell the tortillas were homemade; they were perfectly crunchy and not soggy at all!

Comments: We wish there were jalapeños because the overall flavor was lacking. The platter was quite soggy which might have been from the consistency of the pinto beans. The bottom chips were naked. Cheeseless. Some of the cheese on top wasn’t even melted. The chips were nothing special, definitely not housemade. The price is a little high considering the quality of the nachos is a little low.

Comments: We got pulled pork on the side – no regrets. 5/5 for the P.P. Toppings were not slacking at all. However, after the ‘chos sit for a while, they get soggy because the toppings are so evenly distributed. Definitely an OG nacho that is hard to complete with but $15.00 is a little high. A half portion would be good.

Comments: We ordered the half with chicken which was more than enough for the two of us. However, we did not love dollop of sour cream on top of the unnecessary lettuce in the middle of the ‘chos. Lots of soggy chips which we think could be from the beans. Additionally, the toppings were not evenly distributed and the bottom layer was completely cheese-less. We did not favor the chips at all.

Menu description: “Signature Macho Nachos” Crispy tortilla chips layered with cheddar jack and queso cheeses, loaded with black bean and corn salsa, red onion, jalapeños, and diced tomatoes. Baked and topped with sour cream, shredded lettuce and chipotle ranch. A big plate that’s great to share with the group.

Comments: They’re not your typical nachos especially because of the chipotle ranch but we’re not mad at it. The lettuce is not necessary but we appreciate the corn, beans, and red onions. All of the chips had something on them which is rare yet crucial. We thought the price was a little high considering we didn’t add any meat.

Menu description: “Nacho Supreme” Crisp tortilla chips topped with tomatoes, jalapenos, diced red onions, black olives and a monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend with your choice of chicken, steak or chili served with sour cream and salsa (yes, it includes the mistakenly inserted “a” before monterey)

Comments: Since the meat was included in the price, we went for the chicken. Very interesting that the cheese was on top of all of the other toppings. The chicken was definitely not warmed up before the nachos were thrown into the oven to melt the cheese but the seasoning on the chicken was great. We love that there were onions!! The combo of onion, tomatoes, olives, and jalapenos was perfect. The taste of the chip was good but there could have been more- there was more topping than chip which is preferred over the all-too-often too many chips.

Comments: We were Dazzled. Wowed. Amazed. There were several nacho options on the menu but the waiter said these were the best and he wasn’t wrong. The steak? Delicioso. More restaurants should offer steak as a topping because it was so good. The onions and peppers were the highlight of these nachos. Our only critique was the dollops of sour cream and guac that we’d prefer on the side.

Comments: We didn’t realize the chipotle crema was missing until we went to write the description. It wasn’t lacking without it but it would have been an interesting additional. We wish there was another fresh topping such as tomatoes. Overall, they were really good and the portion size and cheese distribution were perfect as well as the fresh-tasting chips!
