Patrollers
El Tour Del Nacho (A.K.A. Nacho Patrol) began formally in September 2008 by the fine women of the 144 and a few hungry friends. Our mission is simple: to eat our way through the nachos of Boston in hopes of finding that mythical 40/40 score. Since our inception, we’ve branched out from Boston to include reviews from across the globe. All scores are based on a rubric set down on the Official Rules page, governing our consumption of, our companions for, and our compassion toward a nacho plate.

We really need to strap Harrison on our bikes one of these days so he can participate in a review.
Hey Girls,
I found your Nacho Blog online and liked all of your posts. The main reason I found you was because I was doing a search on Nacho Reviews, and although they’re hard to find, I wanted to find as many like minded people as I could.
I started a Nachos site before ever knowing there were others. I’m in Southern California. Right now it has mainly Nachos Reviews/Rankings but I want to make it all about the ins and outs of Nachos. I added you on my site for others to see, I hope that’s ok. I have two types of revies on my site, and in one of them I use (and credit) your ranking system, which is awesome. I’m still starting off but I’m already backed up on reviews on the site. Check it out if you want. http://www.iwst99.com
Keep the Nachos love alive! Love all your reviews.
Cya,

I think I’m in love.
Awesome blog, Nacho Patrol.
Though, I do feel sorry for you dedicated ladies. I spent most of my 20s in the Boston area. I lived near Comm and Harvard right off Corey Hill and was a regular at Our House for a few years. Now I’m back in my hometown of Oakland, CA.
Anyway, I can say with experience that the pickings are pretty slim in the Boston area. I used to hit Anna’s for the quesadillas and burritos, but I don’t think they ever had nachos. A shame, because they had the raw materials to maybe do them right.
But to even the scorecard, finding a decent steak and cheese out here is like trying to find the Holy Grail.
My buddy Jake and I are on a quest to find the best nachos in and around Oakland. You can check out our blog at:

Godspeed, nacho patrol.
