Beertown: Toronto, Ontario

Beertown is located in downtown Toronto and has wonderful indoor seating, away from hornets. Hornets are pretty spooky. They just do this flying swoopy thing and you never know when they might sting or just have a sniff of your food and drink. Beertown Loaded Nachos - September 2026 Distribution of Toppings The distribution of toppings was almost perfect. It doesn't look like a lot of toppings like the other places we went to in Toronto but Beertown is one of those places where they don't have to load the nachos to the extreme for them to be good. Quality Oh my goodness gracious! Homemade salsa! I'm usually not one to really eat the salsa when I have nachos because I prefer guacamole and sour cream, but this time I ate up all that salsa. It reminded me of the homemade salsa recipe I make at home. I really love that they put the dips on the side (which allows me to be in control of which dips I eat, and how much). There was lots of cheese and fresh tomatoes, green onions, ba...

Azteca Mexican Restaurant: Charlottetown, PE

Azteca Mexican Restaurant opened its doors November 10, 2023 in downtown Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. We like to go to PEI once or twice per year and there are always some good opportunities to do nacho research. Sometimes we get nachos and they are disappointing, but there are other times where it's like we struck gold and this was one of those times.  Azteca Beef Nachos - December 2024 Azteca Beef Nachos - December 2024 Distribution of Toppings The distribution of toppings was pretty good, and these were almost like a single layer nacho with the steak heaped on top. Quality There was plenty of gooey cheese on top of these nachos. There was also a lot of crema topped with tender and delicious steak. The refried pinto beans really hit the spot and they even had some pico de gallo which always complements everything. The chips were like the chips I've had in Mexico and they were thick and crunchy. The quality of these nachos was solid. The chip-cheese ratio was spot-on ...

Abuelita's: Saint John, New Brunswick

What a delight to have another Mexican restaurant in Uptown Saint John after the sad departure of Taco Pica back in 2020. You can follow them on instagram @ abuelitas_restaurant . Abuelita's opened its doors in the fall of 2024, and it was only a matter of time before I journeyed over there to have their nachos. The owner of Abuelita's is also the owner of El Patron food truck and the word "abuelita" refers to his mother. I must admit that it is hard to review a new business (as I write this entry, they have been open for a few months), because this entry will be similar to my Casa Latina entry. I really love and appreciate that there are more latin options in Saint John, but I really think I should be ordering something other than nachos at these places. Kind of a side note, but I did order something different on a subsequent visit to  Casa Latina  and it blew my mind!  Abuelita's Birria Nachos - January 2025 Distribution of Toppings The distribution of topping...
