In any case, This was one of the best plates of nachos that I've eaten in a while. Surprising, considering that the chicken was grilled, but they grilled it in such a way as to avoid the usual dryness and blandness. Also - and I don't know why I never thought of doing this - they chopped up the marinated jalapenos, carrots, and onions that you usually get at the salsa bar, and included them as a topping. Another thing they did right? Evenly distributed ingredients instead of a pile of chicken here, a blob of guacamole there, and a pile of pico de gallo over there. I was also glad that they used different chips for the nachos than the el-cheapo ones they brought to the table with salsa (the round kind that are 3 bucks a pound at your local grocery store).
The downside to this dining experience? A speaker, placed directly above our table and pointed in my general direction, endlessly and mercilessly pumped out loud Mexi-pop (?) music, making us have to lean in and yell at each other to have anything resembling a conversation. Hate that - dining is supposed to be a social experience, not a club/bar scene!
Rating: 4 out of 5
Rating Notes: a great mix of ingredients, evenly distributed. The jalapenos, carrots, and onions really set things off. A light sprinkle of unmelted cheese was a nice touch. Take this plate, thrown in chicken from Angel's Rock House and Chips from Two Pesos and we would have had a 5!
Additional Notes: This place has a really diverse Mexican/Salvadorian menu. Definitely have to return here to try some of their other dishes! Portions run relatively small.
