There is hardly a time when ordering nachos is a bad idea, but sometimes there are so many red flags it’s your own fault for getting crappy nachos.
All the flags went up for me Thanksgiving 2015 but I went ahead anyway and placed my order.
I was in Cape Town, South Africa during the incident so at least it happened far far away. I was visiting my father with my brother and we had already been there for a few days and had pretty much decided that Thanksgiving dinner wasn’t really going to be a thing for us that year.
Walking around we spotted an interesting restaurant we hadn’t tried already and decided to check it out. The place described itself as Cuban but it was pretty much a mish mash of Cuban TexMex. So nachos were on the menu. Excellent.
I should have know better being so far away from the source material but I went ahead anyway.
What eventually arrived can only be described as what someone thought nachos were after being told second hand about them.
The base was a Dorito like chip, but slathered in pasta sauce and topped with a runny cheese a smattering of olives and maybe a bean hidden somewhere. And it tasted worse than it sounds.
Worst. Nachos. Ever.
