Ok. So I haven't really posted a nacho review in awhile. I've been doing A LOT of homework though. My last stop was Chili's. This was an interesting review. 

So I ordered the nachos off of the appeteaser size of the menu. With that being said, I didn't expect a full meal. However, the nachos I recieved were kind of weird. There were eight chips, each individually packed with nacho toppings. "What is this B&@$%t," I thought.  I am used to eating a pile of food poured onto chips. That's what a nacho shold be I fumed. So I took off points for that...

After getting past the initial shock of the oddly constructed nachos, it turned out they were pretty damn good. Good chip, delicious toppings for a Chili's kind of place. I just couldn't get past the presentation though. I gave them a B-/C+. That's a somewhat respectable grade.

 I would recommend them for what they are, an appetizer. They were $4.45. Not authentic by any stretch of the imagination and the jalepenos gave them a little punch.

So what you're telling me is my 1080p TV is just about outdated?

Here is a graphic that puts new technology into perspective. 1080p HD is pretty awesome right? 1080 little dots tall? We know how detail tht looks. Wel, what about a camera that picks up 2304.  That's insane - especially when you have a face for radio.

This is production footage from my forthcoming debut film, "TimeScapes," a portrait of the American Southwest. This video was filmed and edited at 4K (4096x2304) resolution, four times greater than regular 1080p HD. A 4K DCP file is available upon request. Shot on Red Epic and Canon RAW still cameras.

This week's nacho review: El Herradero. I must admit I've been here before. Many, many times before. Not only is the food pretty good the owner is a good guy. I forgot what the price was so I'll have to fill that part in later. 

El Herradero is a small place on Arden Way. It's next to Togo's. When I say small, I mean small. Maybe 15 people can sit in there. But, the nachos were darn tasty.

I got the nachos pastor. Pastor is a marinated mean. It tastes a little bit like BBQ meat. That's about the best comparison I can come up with. For the record you could get the nachos with beef or chicken.

You get a pretty big plate. I am sure they are probably meant to share with a couple of friends.  I routinely break this rule and make this glorious pile of deliciousness my main course (I hope my blood pressure eventually forgives me). I don't have much negative to say about these nachos. There is more than enough topping for all the chips. You maybe even a fork for mop up duty for the remains. These aren't your run of the mill theme park nachos and they aren't gourmet either. They are solid meat-and-potatoes nachos.

There is one note I will share. Last time I went to lunch with a fellow employee he said that he likes nacho cheese sauce as oppose to regular cheese that was melted. These nachos have regular shredded cheese melted on the nachos.

All in all, I love these nachos. I'll give them an A-. The only negative for me is the cheese could have been slightly better and some jalapenos might have been nice. Otherwise, awesome.

Ok. Take 2. I posted my Beto's review here. Right here. However due to some gremlins in the computer system the review was lost somewhere in the cornfield.

Here are the basics. I love nachos. One of my favorite foods. Here in Sacramento there have to be hundreds of places that have their own nachos, each a bit different. So I am setting out on a mission to find Sacramento's best nachos.

The first place I went was to Beto's Tacos. This place has some amazing breakfast burritos so I figured it would be a great spot for my first nacho review.

The price : $7.75.

When I opened up the box the nachos didn't really look as good as they tasted. But, they weren't bad. The steak tasted really good. The toppings were OK but, not really "super" flavorfull for being "Super  Nachos." (Note: I didn't add any other toppings from the salsa bar, that might have boosted the taste a bit)

Although pretty good, there were two big negatives. One, there weren't toppings on every chip I pulled out to eat. The distribution left a little to be desired. Two, and this is a cardinal sin for nachos, at the end there were more chips than toppings. This is a heartbreaker.

Overall I give these nachos a B-. I t would have been a C+ but, they were the first review so I gave them a bit of a boost.

P.S. - This entry was better in its original form but, ya know, computers.
