Nachos

Life can get a bit boring sometimes so you have to think of stupid shit to do. It all started with watching Deathproof. Don't know how to rate this movie but the one scene with Kurt Russell snacking on nachos started it all. "Let's go eat nachos!" So off my cousin and I went to eat nachos at every establishment possible in Vancouver.

Pretty good, mostly because of the added ground beef which costed extra. The cheese was melted quite nice and I would say it was an average portion. There wasn't enough cheese and beef for every chip though. I'm sure extra cheese would have helped though. Got upsold on the guacamole. I hate it when the server asks if you want all these extra things and doesn't tell you how much it costs. This is the description of the menu.

Freshly made, hand-cut tortilla chips layered with cheddar and mozzarella, topped with olives, green pepper, tomato and jalapeno peppers. Salsa and sour cream on the side. $9.99

Add extra cheese $1.39

Add Guacamole $2.59

Add spicy chicken or taco beef $1.49

Pretty good atmoshere and you never have to wait for a seat cause it's never busy. Not sure how they stay in business or even how they pay Howie Mandel. Regardless, this one's Chuck Norris approved.

Revs, Brentwood Lanes, whatever you want to call it. Not too busy there on a Sunday afternoon. The smell of 1000 times used bowling shoes gets your hunger going though. I've probably had nachos a bunch of times at this place but everytime I was drunk so I couldn't remember how it was. It ended up being a huge portion but with many lonely nachos. Los Lonely Nachos. Not many toppings or cheese. Chips were not stale though. This one still gets the mule's arse.

Menu Description:

Nachos Supreme

Crunchy nacho chips smothered in melted cheese, topped with tomatoes, black olives, green onions and jalapenos.

$13.75

This was probably the worse plate of nachos we have come across. Our server was some mid 30's dude who had a cowboy like moustache. The portion was pretty huge but the chips were burnt and stale. There wasn't enough cheese to lure a mouse after a famine. Cowboy Bob came by and asked how it was and I gave him an unenthusiastic "it's alright" and looked out the window. I think he noticed my disapproval and without asking he took our nachos back and added more cheese. They still sucked after but it was a nice gesture. My best guess why it wasn't so great here was because they probably don't serve too many nachos here. Conclusion: your nachos are not good enough for my mule's a-hole.

This place was definitely a little different from what I'm used to. But then again I don't really explore restaurants outside of your regular joints. The furniture and decor is pretty old school. Actually it was just plain old but I felt it was a nice change of pace from most restaurants that dress to impress. We didn't know this when we walked in or when we sat down but it dawned on us after staring at the menu for 10 minutes that it was a vegetarian place. I was wondering why everything was so damn cheap. The nachos we ordered were pretty huge and besides the regular toppings it had some other stuff like some kind of green pea look alikes and other things. They were a bit burnt so the server dude tried to sell them as "they're still good" probably so that we wouldn't ask his lame ass to bring it back. Amazingly they were still good. Lots of toppings and sufficient cheese so every chip had something. To tell you about the kind of people who dwell there, a good percentage aren't really the type of peeps you see at like cactus club. They were dressed like modern day hippies and rode their cruiser like bicycles there. One chick captured a bee in a glass and walked outside to set it free. I was thinking how funny it be if she saw me smack a bee to it's death just because it was in my close proximity and then watched me cheer. The other plates of vegetarian dishes looked really good as well and I will definitely be back again to try them out.
