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...
The MIX Resto Bar is located in the Delta Brunswick, which is in the Brunswick Square Mall in Saint John, N.B. Many people in Saint John believe these nachos are the best in town. I would not say they are the best, but they are decent.

Distribution of Toppings:
There are now 2 layers of chips with a fair distribution of toppings. The chip to cheese ratio was a little off as there should have been more cheese.
Quality
This time, there was a proper cheese blend, but the toast factor was not very good as there were visible cheese shreds. They use round chips which are not as good as the triangular chip because it does not catch the toppings and dips as well. There was no spice on the chips but some herbs were sprinkled on. The beef was kind of plain and did not have any seasoning on it. I'm glad they don't put the dips right in the middle of the plate of nachos anymore.
Quantity
The nachos are sufficient to share as a meal.
Value
The Uptown Nachos are $18 without meat. To add chicken, it is $8 extra. To add beef, it is $9 extra. The value is average considering the quality of this plate of nachos.
Conclusion
They really should have left the nachos in the oven for a bit longer so that everything was properly cooked through and melted. They should also add more cheese and use triangular chips which are superior. These nachos were decent because they had a nice cheese blend, the dips were on the side, there were herbs on the chips, and the distribution was good. However, I would not call them the best in the city.
