NACHO NOCHE - LA Buns & Company I 8787 Santa Monica Blvd.

The ultimate nacho quest begins here…

As sisters raised in Cali and now living in the Big Apple for over 10 years, our love of Mexican food has never faltered. What started as a love for our mom’s nachos, has grown into a journey across the globe searching for the world’s best Mexican restaurants and the perfect plate of nachos.

The (brief) history of nachos:
Nachos originated in the city of Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico (near the border of Texas), at a restaurant called the Victory Club. In 1943, the wives of U.S. soldiers stationed at Fort Duncan were in Piedras Negras on a shopping trip, and arrived at the restaurant after it had closed for the day. The maître d', Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya, invented a new snack for them with what little he had available in the kitchen: tortillas and cheese. He served the dish, calling it Nacho's especiales—meaning "Nacho's special dish" in English.*

You might question the quality of food at this American + Mexican fare joint. They serve up killer cheeseburgers, fries and hot dawgs, but I’m commenting on the nachos, folks.

Their nachos are literally finger-lickin’ good. Not only do they fry their chips to order, but there is certainly no shortage of goods here—cheese, chili and salsa fresca. I’m going to have to knock off a sombrero or two because the dish isn’t complete without fresh guac and sour cream—you have to order it on the side. Still, I always make a pit spot at this gem when I’m in LA.
