I feel compelled to give ppl the yellow light on the chili verde nachos. I searched yelp for nachos because I was in the mood, and it led me to this place and a bunch of rave reviews for the CV nachos.
I have no horror story. I just want to say they're not worth it and you'd literally have to pay me to eat them again.
They looked kinda small when I first saw them, but, when I started eating, it was clear that three ppl could happily split this as an appetizer.
The word that pops in my head when I attempt to describe the flavor is "tangy". I asked for light sour cream and, as the picture shows, they didn't over do it. But all I remember flavor-wise is tanginess. There were small bits of pork in it (so small). This costs 8.46 tax included, and the other reviews kinda make it clear that you can get a lotta meat at this shop for $8 by other methods (tacos, burrito, plate, etc.). This is highway robbery compared amount of meat you get on a $6 order of nachos at any other hole in the wall or fast food joint. Speaking of fries, these nachos have potato? in them. I should have taken a picture but I was so underwhelmed by the dish that I had no desire to. Small (but significantly larger than the pork bits), soft chunks of potato throughout the nachos. They weren't bad, but I just didn't understand why there were potatoes in my nachos.
So yeah, if you come here, and want to try the chili verde nachos, maybe split it with two friends. Maybe, I'm the strange person and everybody else loves it, but, after eating them, I don't get it. Also another review mentioned spice. I'm not spice blind. I can handle very spicy food but I also appreciate the lil kick I get from a packet of fast food hot sauce. I remember no heat in this dish. It was just a whole plate of Why. Just my body asking why I was doing this. It didn't taste good, wasn't good for me, just eating it, trying to figure out why ppl liked it.
