Nacho Blog

The editor is what I also consider the co-founder of the blog since he was the one that picked the domain for the nacho blog so that we could have nachoblog.ca. He is also a big part of  Nacho Blog being on Instagram now (nachoblog.ca) and comes to most of the tastings of the great and maybe not so great plates of nachos. There are times, however, where he cooks a great plate of homemade nachos and I have collected some pictures over the years.  Big shoutout to him as editing is a big job to do and he has done it for 100+ entries now.

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 ...

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...

Normally when I review a restaurant at a different location, I group them together in one post. An example would be Cask and Kettle  as they have locations in Rothesay, Saint John, and Grand Bay, New Brunswick. This Cheers Bar was so different from Cheers Boston  that I had to do a separate entry for it. These nachos at Cheers Beverage Room were my post-marathon nachos. I really took in the experience of having caffeine for the first time in a couple of weeks and having nachos for the first time in over a month. The Cheers Beverage Room has a cozy laid back feel, with friendly service. If you would like to read more about it, the link is here . Cheers Bacon Double Cheeseburger (large) Nachos - October 2024 Distribution of Toppings The distribution of toppings was about fair. There were plenty of loose toppings left over afterwards and we scooped them up with the bare chips. There was a lot of cheese on the top layer but not much under the hood. Quality When I tasted the nachos...

The Lighthouse by 540 is located in downtown Fredericton, NB, and overlooks the beautiful Saint John River. This is a seasonal patio-based restaurant operated by the 540 Kitchen & Bar, also located in downtown Fredericton. The restaurant is located right on the trail system with lots of bike rack space by the entrance, so it was a natural place for us to stop off for a drink and nacho after biking all around the city. The Lighthouse by 540 Pulled Pork Nachos - August 2024 The Lighthouse by 540 Pulled Pork Nachos - August 2024 Distribution of Toppings Distribution of toppings was pretty good but not perfect. You can tell by looking at the pictures that some of the chips got more love than others. That is okay with these nachos because there was lots to scoop up with those bare chips! Quality The best thing about the quality of these nachos overall was how fresh and delicious all the toppings were! Look at that delicious pile of BBQ pulled pork on there! It was really tasty - no comp...
