NACHO NOCHE

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.*

The Hideaway | 364 West Lake Drive | Montauk, NY

I’m a bit hesitant to share this restaurant with you because it hasn’t hit the hipsters’ radar yet (and my friend Kerri might kill me), but in the sake of the ultimate nacho search, I must divulge my findings…

The Hideway is the perfect après-beach destination. It’s a no fuss kind of joint that serves simple, tasty, Mexican + American food. Their nachos are baked in the oven and cooked to perfection. All of the toppings are generously proportioned and topped off with a mixture of Monterey Jack and Cojita cheese. The only missing ingredient was pickled jalapeños. This place is a definite must if you are ever in Montauk.
