My
name
is
Amanda
and
I
review
nachos.
Order:
Nachos
with
pollo
(grilled),
no
jalapenos.
Ordered
to
go.
Menu
Description:
Chips,
jack
&
cheddar
cheese,
beans,
jalapenos,
cheese
dip,
your
choice
of
meat,
lettuce,
tomato,
cilantro,
onion,
sour
cream,
and
jalapenos.
Choice
of
meat
includes:
Adovada
(marinated
pork),
Asada
(steak),
Pollo
(grilled
or
shredded
chicken),
Barbacoa
(shredded
beef),
Lengua
(beef
tongue
+$1.99),
Pastor
(pork
and
pineapple),
Molida
(ground
beef),
Cabeza
(beef
head),
Tripitas
(beef
tripe
+$1.99),
Carnitas
(shredded
pork),
Chorizo
(pork
sausage).
Style:
Nacho
pile.
Initial
impressions:
Large
portion,
a
whole
lotta
lettuce
(see
photo).
Flavor:
Chicken
was
tasty,
grilled
strips,
all
bite
size
narrow
slices,
presumably
grilled
after
they
were
sliced.
Cheese
dip
is
savory
and
rich.
The
lettuce,
tomato
&
cilantro
lends
requisite
freshness
for
balance.
Spice:
Zero
spice
by
default.
Add
back
in
the
jalapenos,
or
explore
their
extensive
hot
sauce
buffet
to
heat
it
up.
Texture:
Chips
were
light
&
crisp,
yet
somehow
still
managed
to
hold
up
to
the
toppings.
Beans
contribute
a
lot
to
texture,
and
there
weren't
enough
of
these.
How
to
achieve
the
perfect
bite:
In
the
dead-center,
there
is
a
perfect
intermingling
of
cheese
dip
and
pinto
beans
that
deliciously
saturated
the
chips.
Combine
a
dry
chip
from
the
edge
to
create
an
edible
scoop.
Perfect
flavor/texture
combo.
Portion
Size:
Plenty
to
split
in
a
group,
but
the
best
flavor
is
situated
in
the
center
of
the
nacho
pile,
so
if
you're
having
it
as
a
meal
I'd
say
it's
best
for
1,
with
leftover
chips
at
the
end.
tl;dr:
Hold
the
lettuce,
extra
beans.
Would
get
again.
