After the disappointment you may have detected in my last post on Taqueria Vallarta's nachos with chili verde, I really needed something great, so a few coworkers and I cruised over to this brand new taqueria with high hopes. The reviews on Yelp were decent, so why not take a chance? (That will be the only question in this post - I promise ;-). Overall, a good plate. The chicken could have used a bit more flavor, but the texture was just right and the balance of ingredients was perfect. The guacamole was tasty too - not nearly as radioactive looking as it appears in the photo. Very crispy, light chips to scoop it all up with. The downsides to this place had nothing to do with the nachos. They were stingy on the chips and they didn't have a salsa bar (gasp!) which was a damn shame because the red salsa they gave us with the chips was excellent. For this last reason, I won't be going back, but that didn't stop me from giving them a decent rating on their nachos.
Rating: 3½ out of 5
Rating Notes: Nice presentation! Also, half way through my nachos, I realized that they'd only charged me for a "Small" nachos with no meat. I felt a little guilty about it, but no salsa bar and one tiny bowl of chips for 4 people? Come on.

Come on... they're a new joint in town. There are probably still some kinks to be worked out yet.
