Walkabout

Walkabout? Walk OUT!

Well...I mean you can stay if you want. If you like your guacamole so runny it slides off your (burnt) tortilla chips, and sour cream chasing it not far behind...followed by salsa that looks suspiciously like strawberry jam – then hell yeah, order the walkabout nachos! Message to the Aussies: stick to bbq’s on the beach.

Tortilla chips: 4/10
Cheese:  2/10
Salsa: 4/10
Guacamole: 1/10
Soured cream: 1/10

Nacho’s

Holy Guacamole!

Obviously, we had a high expectations given the name of the restaurant. These were almost met. We say ‘almost’ because the portion size was a bit stingy given the price. However,  if Carlsberg did guacamole.....FRESHLY chopped avocados in a very generous portion. Everything else was rather god damn good, just not enough!! We will definitely be re-visiting this little hidden gem.

Tortilla chips: 8/10
Cheese:  8/10
Salsa: 8/10
Guacamole: 10/10 – wow.
Soured cream: 8/10
Jalapeños: 9/10 – spicy and good amount
Price: 4/10 £6.50 for VERY small portion
Overall rating: 8/10

Cheap and Cheerful (and Chilly)

As we happily sipped our £12(ish) bottle of Villa Maria (excellent value as sauvignon blanc connoisseurs will understand), our perfectly sized portion of nachos arrived. We “ooohed” and “aaaahed” at the symmetry of the plate. Despite the chilly conditions – bring a scarf and jacket – we were pleasantly (OK, we were slightly snobby) surprised by the plate we were presented with.

Tortilla chips: 9/10 - saltiness/flavour made up for lack of cheese
Cheese: 6/10 - not enough
Salsa: 7/10 - good but nowhere near enough
Guacamole: 6/10 - not enough
Soured cream: 5/10 - one dollop? Camaaaan!
Jalapeños: 6/10
Price: 10/10 - £5.20 for sharing portion
Overall rating: 7/10

VEGETARIANS BEWARE!!!

For all you veggies, let me just describe this nightmare. Five minutes after we ordered our “nachos”, a great big steaming pile of beef was plonked on our table.  After an awkward silence, our resident vegetarian (Jacklyn) remarked that she had not been expecting meat on her nachos. Our tattooed, long haired server replied that we had not mentioned this when ordering. Ehh, I’m sorry... but nachos = tortilla chips, cheese, salsa, guacamole, soured cream and jalapeños. (Unless stated otherwise on the menu) Duh! Anyway...on to our ratings...

Tortilla chips: 6/10

Cheese: 4/10 - processed and not enough

Salsa: 6/10 - Good but nowhere near enough

Guacamole: 4/10 - just TOO runny!

Soured cream:  4/10 - too runny!!

Jalapeños: 4/10 - not fresh and not enough!

Onions:  #NONEEDFORONIONS
Price: 7/10 - £7.79 (sharing portion)

Overall rating: 5/10
