Ahhh - eating nachos outside on a beautiful, 80 degree day in June… it doesn't get any better than that! This taqueria is about 5 minutes from my work (yes, as you may have noticed by now, I work in a very "taqueria-heavy" area) and had been on the list of places to try for a while. How about the nachos? Usually, when I go to a chain taqueria, even a small chain like the The Burrito Factory, I have low expectations. This time those low expectations were unwarranted. These are some excellent nachos! Nice presentation, not too much cheese, a pretty pattern of sour cream, and a generous heap of guacamole on top. The shredded chicken was tender and flavorful as well - a very important factor in my ratings. And even though I'm pretty sure those lively red and green chips have stuff in them that may give me cancer, they sure made for a pretty plate!
The down side(s)? Relatively speaking, this was not a very generous portion for $7 plus tax, even though it was more than I could eat, and what's with that sneaky layer of beans underneath everything that you kind of have to scoop out and place on the nachos separately? Weird presentation choice indeed.
Other goodies? If you get to this taqueria, be sure to try their mango pico de gallo. It has the usual fresh flavor of pico de gallo with a nicely integrated sweetness from the mangos - an excellent compliment to the nachos! They also have 3 or 4 other kinds of salsa, all of which were pretty tasty.
Rating: 3½ out of 5
Rating Notes: Would have been a 4 if not for that sneaky, "interestingly" flavored layer of beans underneath.
