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 Pot Belly Pub & Restaurant | 130 Main St. | Ludlow, VT

Ludlow, Vermont isn’t a foodie’s dream for fine fare, but The Pot Belly Pub is your best bet in that neck of the woods. Their eclectic menu serves up everything—and I mean everything. When I saw “Nachos Grande…our south of the border specialty” on the menu, I knew I couldn’t resist.

I must admit I was pleasantly surprised when the nachos arrived. They were definitely tasty, not amazing, but worthy of a decent rating despite the dish was sans guacamole.
