Prologue It took me almost a month to start writing this review. I wasn’t sure I would. I didn’t have quality photos of the nachos and I still don’t know what was in them. But I ate them. I cleaned that little paper tray. Last night, I decided that these nachos have a story worth […]

Taco Bell Nachos BellGrande
Generally, if a restaurant has nachos, that’s what I’m going to order. This is not the case at Taco Bell. Admittedly, Taco Bell is only a restaurant in the strictest sense of the word.

The best nachos I can remember can be had (consistently!) at Carmelita’s Mexican Grill & Cantina in Dunedin, Florida. The cheese is real and abundant. The chips aren’t greasy. They taste and feel great. The quantity of everything […]
