Well folks, it’s been quite a year, especially in the world of nachos. After 12 months, 62 reviews, and approximately 7,428,391 calories, we’re reflecting on our year, and this is what we have found:
Fenway News: After a year and half of dedicated reviewing, we can safely say that there simply aren’t good nachos in the [...]

For today’s adventure, Nacho Patrol headed south. And after heading south, we boarded another plane and headed even more south, and then after that, we drove even farther. While we’re holding out hopes for nachos in Antarctica, this may be as geographically far as one can go to find our favorite dish. For those of [...]
