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.

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...

Guy Fieri's Kitchen + Bar: Boston, USA

After visiting Gordon Ramsay Burger, I think it was only fitting to visit Guy Fieri's Kitchen + Bar which is located right next to the Boston Common. Here is a link to the website for this place. The entries for Boston are being posted in chronological order and it felt like the nachos were getting better and better as time went on. Let's check out their nachos.

Guy Fieri's Pork BBQ Trash Can Nachos - June 2024

Distribution of Toppings

The distribution of toppings was perfect as every chip was loaded with lots of cheese. I think a lot of places can learn from them.

Quality
The quality was out of this world! There were real corn chips, tasty BBQ pork, and everything was so cheesy (traditional cheese blend) and creamy with a generous amount of queso and sour cream. The jalapeƱos, cilantro, and pico de gallo at the top really hit the spot. There's something about cilantro that can really make the taste pop.

Quantity 

These nachos are great to share for a meal.

Value

The Trash Can Nachos are $18. If you want pork, it is $5 extra. These are in USD, so converted to CAD in August 2024 the price would be $31.58. It's in a very touristy part of Boston - I believe this restaurant is very close to the finish line for the Boston Marathon - and these were the best nachos we had on our trip, hands down. Well worth it.

Conclusion

These guys outdid all the others we tried in Boston! They were cheesy, loaded with fresh flavorful toppings, good value, good quantity, and just wow! I hope to have these after finishing the Boston Marathon someday... hopefully soon.
