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.*

Molé | 205 Allen St. | NY, NY

I have been in New York City for 10 years now and ever since I stepped foot in the Big Apple (I’m a California transplant) it’s been difficult to find an authentic Mexican restaurant that is comparable to Cali-style Mex until now. Molé is one of my favorite haunts and everything they serve up is divine.

Their nachos start with a homemade cheese sauce consisting of Monterey Jack, cheddar and mozzarella—it’s smooth, creamy and full of flavor. The dish is topped off with refried beans, pico de gallo, pickled jalapeños, crema and cilantro. It’s basically perfection on a plate. Go see for yourself and make sure you have a margarita too.
