It was our last day in Toronto and we decided to take the long ride from our hotel by the airport into town for one last shot at what could be the best plate of nachos in Canada. I wasn't ready to say that the Beertown nachos were the best on our trip or that the Snooty Fox in Fredericton were the best in Canada. I was ready to have my mind blown and when it's your last day in a big city, you have to make it count. I wanted these nachos to be on my mind while we are trying to land in foggy Saint John and then rushing to work immediately after landing with my ears still plugged up from the plane. Plus, who knows when we will be in Toronto again? It's between Toronto or Quebec City for our fall marathon next year. They are doing a battle in my mind. We went to Squirly's because the editor did some research and saw that Squirly's might be good. This restaurant had previously closed their doors after 36 years and recently re-opened to be Squirly's 2.0. How were t...
MDI Lobster and BBQ is located between Bar Harbor and Bass Harbor which is "on the quiet side of Mount Desert Island". MDI is just minutes away from Acadia National Park and you can experience a beautiful view of the harbor while having high quality seafood. There are other foods that you can have that are high quality while visiting Southwest Harbor and one of those foods is nachos. We ordered mussels on one side and on the other side were some nachos which will be highly rated.

Distribution of Toppings
Every chip had the perfect amount of toppings just bursting with flavor. There were no problems with too many chips or too many toppings or chips without toppings.
Quality
Here it appears that some shredded cheese was used in addition to the queso. Should have taken better notes, but I do remember it was delicious queso. The pulled pork had really good sauce and the pork was smoked and very tender. The chips were like chips I would get in Mexico and the veggies were great as well.
Value
The pulled pork nachos are $12.95 USD which includes pico de gallo, sour cream, and queso. Today's conversion would make them $17.79 CAD. Considering the quality and the distribution of toppings, the value is excellent.
Quantity
If you're sharing for supper, you should order something small to go with them.
Service
The service was very friendly and efficient. The owner was also going to the different tables asking customers how they are enjoying their experience. That little bit of effort goes a long way. Especially if someone is going to post about it in a blog!!
Conclusion
The harbor side setting combined with excellent quality and service means that this place deserves top marks. Everything was perfect and I am so glad I had this experience.
