La Carnita: Toronto, Ontario

La Carnita has three locations in the Toronto area, and we visited the one on 106 John Street in the downtown area. After experiencing some fear factor-like hornets at a previous place where we had to leave before eating, it was refreshing to have some good indoor seating in this Mexican restaurant. You can view their website here .  La Carnita Carne Asada Nachos - September 2026 La Carnita Carne Asada Nachos - September 2026 Distribution of Toppings The distribution of toppings was absolutely perfect. As you can see, these nachos were loaded and there was not one bare chip left behind. Quality It was a nice creamy tray of nachos with amazing seasoning. The carne asada was perfectly tender and well seasoned. The chips were great as well even though there were a few mushy chips on the bottom. I think it might have been due to the fact that the guacamole and sour cream were put right in with the nachos instead of on the side. It's a risky move to put the dips right in there because t...

Route 66 Restaurant: Bar Harbor, Maine

Route 66 Restaurant is located in downtown Bar Harbor, Maine. It makes you feel like you have stumbled upon a mad scientist who has a car that takes you back to the 1950's to help your parents fall in love so that you can exist in 2022! The amount of antique Americana memorabilia on display in this restaurant is breathtaking. You'd think "how can I be in the 1950's and have some nachos if they didn't exist then?" Well if you thought that, you'd be wrong: Nachos were created in 1943 by Ignacio Anaya. So there would have been nachos in the 1950's! Yes, so anyways....

There was something for every chip and there was never a dull moment when it came to the Route 66 Restaurant nachos in Bar Harbor, Maine.  Quality There was so much goin...

MDI Lobster and BBQ: Southwest Harbor, Maine

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.  MDI Pulled Pork Nachos - September 2022 MDI Pulled Pork Nachos - September 2022 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 ...
