nacho reviews in Union Square, Murray Hill and Gramercy

After being alerted by Jenny Miller (namedrop) about Domo Taco’s Nacho Tots, I decided I needed to try these out. We’ve been duped before by the word Nacho, so I went to try them. Shawn tried them as well. We both found them unconventional, so we decided to blog about them unconventionally, through an IM.

At the suggestion of a super secret awesome celebrity nacho lover, we dined at El Parador Cafe in Murray Hill. The place was swanky and a romantic date night spot. But there is only room in my heart for one love, nachos.

Oh February 28th. One of the greatest days of my life. And nachos from Calico Jack’s Cantina almost ruined it.

After a series of recommendations from Amy Cao and others, I decided I needed to go to Baby Bo’s and get hot and heavy with a plate of nachos. With the holidays around the corner, a lot of the Nacho Gang is all booked up preparing, but Maraysa was able to join me.

In food, sometimes it seems that fusion is the driving force of new tasty delights. From the bacon egg roll of Food Parc to the salty sweet cupcakes of Baked, weird combinations can be make a name for a new restaurant. With that in mind, last night I went to Baorrito, an Asia meets Mexico restaurant in Gramercy.

After all of the hubbub surrounding El Cantinero in the past week between the Village Voice’s Robert Sietsema saying that El Cantinero was the last bastion of hope for TexMex and Grub Street’s Daniel Laurer thinking it’s terrible, I figured you might want my opinion on the matter.
