good
This nacho spot came from the good ol’ suggestions list. If you have a nacho suggestion for us, we’ll make it a priority to try those nachos. We finally got to these, at Phebe’s, a huge bar & restaurant in the Soho/LES area. We went with my sister on her visit to the big city. As we walked in, the music blared and the people chattered. Off in another room, I believe a singles event was making men and women uncomfortable.
Early on in the NachosNY days, we relied on the suggestions list, but never made it to suggestion #4, 5 Burro in Forest Hills. We’re not borough-ist, we just have a lot of local ground to cover before we get up there. Anyway, in June, the 5 Burro crew opened a second location in the Red Hook / Riverfront area. Jake, our gardening genius friend(just wait till you see the adorable nacho garden in its infancy next week) told me how good it was and he takes his food seriously. I made a mental note and when they appeared on Groupon this week, I had to do it.
On a muggy Saturday night, I headed to Williamsburg for a birthday party with time to kill so with Nozomi, I went to Taco Chulo on Grand Street. When we got there, she said we couldn’t eat nachos because we didn’t have cameras with us. Fortunately, I didn’t let that stop me. We took out our phones and ate nachos.
On our Nacho crawl, we made a lot of awesome friends. Given that the nacho crawl is a bit of a hectic time with me running around like a chicken with my head cut off, I decided to hand over the reviews for this crawl to some of the great people I met. This review of Royal Tavern was written by Jess of fries with that shake.
