| - "Nachos! Nachos! naCHOS!" If you are not singing this to a beat and doing a food dance, then you must not share my love for nachos. I enjoy everything about a chip and everything you can dip or cover the chip in.
On my very first trip to Las Vegas, we landed in the ISLA bar area and somehow we were lucky enough to order the ISLA nachos-- lucky because you never know if you have just ordered the wrong thing and dismissed a restaurant despite the fact that something marvelous was hiding on the menu. ISLA nachos are definitely that something marvelous. Meat-lovers be warned: There is no meat. However, there is delicious fresh guac, smoky bean and a tad spicy cheese sauce and some other magic mojo. If you do not get enough cheese sauce, just let them know, as sometimes the person in the kitchen is feeling a bit stingy with the sauce.
I almost always take people here for the nachos, and I understand it is hard for anything to live up to this praise, so I am not disappointed when sometimes people look at me a little weird. I will grant that perhaps one of those stars is due to the nostalgia, but either way, the nachos are good. The also have Dos Equis Amber on draft, which is the perfect nacho accompaniment.
I have also had the fish tacos. The fish is fried, but I enjoyed them. Still, I am not telling you to go to the restaurant and have a full meal because I am not qualified to give that advice. I never make it past the bar and the nachos.
Now, back to the nachos... :) Just kidding. The bar area is not the most comfortable. The little couches are low, and the little tables are little. Still, you could hang me upside down, and I would be happy with a plate of... (You should know by now.)
