"Love this place. I ordered the chicken fajita nachos which were good and I’ll be happily eating leftovers tomorrow. I barely ate anything because my allergies were acting up terribly and curbed my appetite. But the food was definitely delicious. Mine was meant as an appetizer to be shared. I knew I wouldn’t be sharing and would have ordered chicken fajitas for dinner, so ordering this instead of a meal just made sense to me.I got the fried ice cream for dessert which was tasty but not what I was expecting. I thought it would be vanilla ice cream encrusted in crispy deep fried rice like I’ve had in the past. It was a fried tortilla bowl with vanilla ice cream drizzled in chocolate syrup and sprinkles. So I was a little disappointed with that because due to my braces it was difficult to eat the tortilla at all until it got a little soggy and I could break pieces off. Then it got better but still wasn’t quite the texture and taste I was hoping for.Hubby and our friend got the burrito gigante and both of them finished their food despite it being rather large. Hubby says it was delicious. He also ordered the vallerta sampler which I had some mozzarella sticks from with super stretchy cheese that was fun to eat and yummy. He enjoyed the quesadilla, chorizo queso, the jalapeño poppers (a little spicy but not too much and definitely not eye watering for him or our friend) and took home the wings. He was also very happy to see they had Lime Jarritos which he will always order if anyone carries it. It’s hard to find Lime and he loves it!The atmosphere was nice and small (not a negative but an observation that makes you feel like you could be a regular and know the owner) with both booths and tables. The decor I loved with a modelo piñata, sombrero and other various themed items. It was fairly busy but we didn’t feel neglected. We did possibly overstay our welcome as we sat talking a while after we finished our food, got boxes, paid the check, and moved all the dishes and everything to the end of the table. While they did clean up things as they walked by, they never said anything or made us feel like we had to leave.We had decent service and, as I often mention in my reviews, I got a refill and didn’t have to mention I needed no ice in my drink. I did have to catch our waiter to order dessert but to be fair I barely touched my food and they ate a lot. So he likely thought we were done and he didn’t want to pressure us for the check and make us feel like we had to leave. For the three of us it was just over $100 with tip. About $83 without tip. We got a lot of food for that money though.I am only disappointed I couldn’t eat more and that I didn’t try the Spanish rice which is usually my favorite part aside from the veggies in chicken fajitas. I didn’t think about that when ordered my appetizer for dinner, so silly me on that. All in all and good experience with enjoyable food."

"I had a craving for soup late last night after getting home from work and ended up ordering from here after my first two orders from a different restaurant were cancelled due to sold out items.I decided to go with their Pozole instead of their Menudo because I 'm only used to Dominican mondongo. They were both listed as popular on the app so I trusted that it would be reliable. I 've never had pozole before, I try my best to not have first time experiences with takeout but hey what are you gonna do ya know? I 've always been ssssuuuuuuperrrrrrrrrr interested in it, the hominy has always been really intriguing lol. The menu didn 't indicate whether it was red or green but again, I was trusting. It was $13 for one size which is the large plastic 32oz container. They send a separate aluminum tray with cabbage (I think), raw diced onions, radishes and limes. Oh and they sent oregano and some type of chili powder!My first impression of the soup was that it was packed. Lots of hominy, lots of pork and a broth that looked a lot like stock. It wasn 't green or red. The broth also tasted like stock, not in a bad way though! It was just very simple, good but simple and for me personally, I had to add a little bit of bouillon to it for extra flavor. I actually had my hand slip and a little more than I anticipated came out, but I was able to fix it by adding extra lime. I loved the hominy! I had no idea what to expect but if you 've never had it, it 's pretty much the same texture as potatoes. The star of the show though was the pork. You could tell they put in lots of effort to make sure that they cut off the unwanted pieces of fat, which made eating it so much easier. It was so tender. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, I 'm really glad I tried something new. Only reason they didn 't get 4 stars is because I had to add seasoning to the broth."

"I was attracted to the Chile Colorado as one of only two items on a very extensive menu that was labeled as spicy. Indeed, I was impressed with just how spicy the sauce was, it had quite a kick. Unfortunately the beef was very thinly sliced small pieces of what looked to be inside skirt, cut very thin to disguise its chewiness, and badly over cooked. I don't doubt it is the same beef that's used on their fajitas, and suspect it's representative of a fundamental problem at Nachos. The menu is far larger than what they could reasonably be expected to serve as quality dishes. If the restaurant actually wanted to serve Chile Colorado as an offering, they'd take the time to slow cook chunks of stew beef until tender. With the sauce, and flour tortillas, that could have been a fabulous dish. I'd quote the wife, who, equally disappointed with a combo plate, said that if Robert Irvine (Restaurant Impossible) ate at Nachos, he'd shut the place down and redo the menu. The rice and refried beans that accompanied the chile colorado were fine, sure, a bit bland, but they had a classic flavor for the tex mex sides. The salsa and chips were fine, the made to order guacamole (also rather bland) was good, particularly with some salsa added, though it was an enormous portion that two hungry people didn't get through half. Service was prompt and friendly, though our table was where they congregated and talked at any down moment, which was a little off putting."
