"I was attracted to the Chile Colorado as one of only two items on a very extensive menu that was labeled as spicy. Indeed, I was impressed with just how spicy the sauce was, it had quite a kick. Unfortunately the beef was very thinly sliced small pieces of what looked to be inside skirt, cut very thin to disguise its chewiness, and badly over cooked. I don't doubt it is the same beef that's used on their fajitas, and suspect it's representative of a fundamental problem at Nachos. The menu is far larger than what they could reasonably be expected to serve as quality dishes. If the restaurant actually wanted to serve Chile Colorado as an offering, they'd take the time to slow cook chunks of stew beef until tender. With the sauce, and flour tortillas, that could have been a fabulous dish. I'd quote the wife, who, equally disappointed with a combo plate, said that if Robert Irvine (Restaurant Impossible) ate at Nachos, he'd shut the place down and redo the menu. The rice and refried beans that accompanied the chile colorado were fine, sure, a bit bland, but they had a classic flavor for the tex mex sides. The salsa and chips were fine, the made to order guacamole (also rather bland) was good, particularly with some salsa added, though it was an enormous portion that two hungry people didn't get through half. Service was prompt and friendly, though our table was where they congregated and talked at any down moment, which was a little off putting."

"Was quite disappointed, our first time in this Chihuahua and our last. I love Mexican cuisine, grew up in SoCal, and my wife and I are constantly looking for great places to eat. We were in the original Chihuahua's in Winnemucca for breakfast and the food, service, etc was all excellent so we were excited to go to the local for dinner. Our problems started to sit. We had a reservation and waited. After I noticed that a few who went in a few minutes after arriving and had no reservations placed on the waiting list and then sitting in front of us, I went to the desk and pointed out that they immediately sat us, and they sat us in a walkway when there were tables in the area that were not on the way. We hoped the food would stop the night. We ordered our dinner, my wife always gets a Chile Relleno and cheese Enchilada dinner, she was not impressed, said they were both Bland. She only ate a few bites of Enchilada before they give up and maybe ate half of the Rellenos. I have a burrito. I didn't think the Burrito had much taste. The menu said the Burrito had Carne Asada, but it was really only ground hamburgers and I couldn't taste a taste in the meat except how to taste hamburgers. Carne Asada will be presumed to be marinated and is usually grilled to supplement taste, then is diceed, or cut strips, not ground. The only real plus points this night were the waiter was really nice and did a great job. And the margaritas were pretty good. Fortunately, we have other options for good MX food in the area."
