Open call for nacho suggestions!

17 October 2008 by lee ,   40 Comments

I know you know that I just moved to NY about a month ago and took on this great endeavor to go around chowing on nachos all over the place. Thanks go to Joby for reminding me with a comment; I want you to leave me some suggestions where to go. Just leave them in the comments area and I’d be glad to check them out, maybe even with you.

Thanks!

    Pinche Taqueria…only go to the one on Lafayette, but the nachos are gooooooood.

    Ok I used to live in the hood in Spanish Harlem and there’s this little gem on E. 117th bt 2nd and 3rd that is just plain amazing. Definitely worth the trip and possible mugging up there. Now I go to Cilantro’s on 2nd & 89th…they use garbanzo beans which is surprisingly tasty.

    5 Burros in Forest Hills(Queens) has serious nachos with amazing marinated skirt steak.

  • Emma said:

    Add the nachos at Big Enchilada to your list! I would say best nacho in the union square area.

  • Joridana said:

    The nachos at Piano’s on Ludlow and Stanton are AMAZING! Especially if you go during happy hour on the weekends when they are $4.00 and drinks are $3.00. They are vegetarian friendly and have great ingredients like chickpeas and sweet potato chunks.

  • Jason said:

    i almost hate to give up my fav nacho spot but i have a feeling i’m gonna spend a lot of time on this blog so here goes: check out “1849″ on Bleecker. you won’t regret it.

  • Andrew said:

    How far would you go for good nachos? La Superica, Sag Harbor, NY

  • lee (author) said:

    Thanks for all of these great recommendations. They will be added to our queue!

    As a fairly recent Cali ex-pat turned NYer and avid burrito enthusiast, we share a lot of the same turf. My search for comfort food in NY has sent me far and wide and thus far I can safely say that Florencia 13 in the West Village is the best Cali-Mex food out there. You will not be disappointed. Their nacho’s will blow you away.

    Zocalo on Broadway in Williamsburg. The real deal.

  • Cal said:

    Try the Chicken Nachos at either of the Pinche Taquerias. They are real nachos with homemade chips and plenty of cheese. I guarantee they won’t disapoint!

    I love the Nachos at David Copperfield’s on York Avenue and 74th Street. The veggie Nachos are great if you don’t feel like eating meat, too.

  • Peter S said:

    Hop Devil Grill on St. Marks Place and Avenue A has a great nachos. They are delicious. The wings are sublime too. They also have a good beer selection. Err, great beer selection.

  • joby said:

    New suggestion: Florencia 13 on Sullivan b/w Bleecker and Houston. I didn’t have their nachos, but I did have an order of chips and guac, which was tasty.

  • Ali said:

    You MUST try the chorizo nachos at De Mole in Woodside (http://maps.google.com/maps?oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=de+mole+woodside&fb=1&split=1&gl=us&view=text&latlng=8502035900722971665).

    They, like *everything* else on the menu there, are incredible and inexpensive.

  • liz said:

    Yola’s on Metropolitan in Williamsburg..great place, few seats, better for take out. It can take awhile for delivery so i reheat in oven..ask for there red sauce. My fav is regular nachos with of course guacamole..no meat, but heard the chicken nachos are good as well.

    Luli: We’ve reviewed El Maguey some months ago and have it rated as our favorite.

  • m said:

    Well a blog about a food that isn’t even mexican origin and the webmaster is an out of town hick that never bothered to hit the outer boroughs. Where do you think all the mexicans live?? U can bet I will not be wasting my time here ever again

  • Gary said:

    Mama Mexico has the best guacamole and nachos on the upper west side! But you brother hasn’t been there yet!

  • Stephanie said:

    You must try the Nachos Classicos with guac at Taco Chulo in Williamsburg!!!!

  • katie said:

    Papacitos in Greenpoint has amazing vegan nachos, especially if you order it with soyrizo. Haven’t tried the non-vegan, but I’m sure it’s just as good.

  • Chitra said:

    this is such a great site. i'm obsessed with nachos too and always have ingredients for them ready to go for when i come home a bit drunky. i wanted to share though my version of Indian nachos. what do you think?!

    Check out OFRENDA COCINA MEXICANA at 113 7th Avenue South, NY NY!! They have a great chef doing home-style food and they do happy hour with his really good nachos at $3.00! I was doubtful, thinking “bargain minimal serving etc” but they’re very good. Yum.

    Your new store software with vendor doesn’t work. Try checking out for yourself

  • lee (author) said:

    @Patrick, thanks for the notice. I am assuming you have IE 7, and we’re talking to Vendr about it now. THANKS!

  • Nate said:

    Taco Santana fries up the chips while you wait. Unreal stuff. Right off the Hewes street J stop.

    B61 on Columbia Street in Red Hook/Carroll Gardens. Make sure to add pulled pork for an extra buck or two.

  • Victor said:

    I took a thorough look-see and all the stops; let me preface this by saying how blown away that there are other Nachos connoisseurs out there. Found you guys and nachopatrol for Bostonites. I have no shame in saying that I would love to get down with the Nachos NY team. (I would have Guac in my cereal if the flakes were big enough.)

    It might seem like an odd place to find good Nachos but the
    Pizzeria Uno’s at 81st & Columbus near Central Park are HUUUGGE.

    They bring them out on satellite dish of a platter and the chips are swimming freestyle in a sea of cheeses and salsa.
    (You do have the choice of going When Harry Met Sally on them and ordering anything on the side or not at all)
    And for the Nachas, they make Raspberry Margaritas.

    Peace, Love and Re-fried beans…

    Another bump for B61. A simple nacho with cheap cheese, but good all around.
