Vegas. Tonight, against all odds, I walked away from the blackjack table a serious winner. My disciplined play finally paid off, filling my pockets with a triumphant stack of cash. With winnings safely deposited, a hunger, both physical and emotional, gnawed at me. The late hour meant navigating their treacherous parking lot ā less a place for cars, more a shadowy expanse where I genuinely feared getting mugged. I practically sprinted inside, the thought of my newfound prosperity being snatched away almost as horrifying as the meal that awaited. Carrying the confidence of a victor, my eyes landed on the Filet Mignon Nachos. Filet Mignon on nachos! It sounded like the ultimate indulgence, the perfect celebratory feast to cap off my blackjack triumph. My expectations were, like my chip stack, sky-high. What arrived, however, was less a celebration and more an abject culinary surrender. The very foundation ā the tortilla chips ā were tragic. Not crisp, sturdy vehicles, but sad, brittle shards that crumbled under the slightest touch. Each attempt to scoop was met with pathetic disintegration, leaving a chaotic, unappetizing pile. The "filet mignon"? A true betrayal. Not tender, succulent steak, but meager, uniformly chewy, and disconcertingly lukewarm fragments, scattered with a parsimonious hand. They had the texture of shoe leather and about as much flavor. The cheese, rather than a luscious, molten blanket, was a congealed, rubbery affair, forming an unappealing, solidified skin. The combination was a greasy, chaotic mess, a jumble of disparate elements that actively fought against each other, yielding no coherent taste, only a lingering film of disappointment. An insult to my hard-won cash. Then, in a moment of questionable judgment undoubtedly fueled by lingering victory high (and parking lot fear), I embraced the "Vegas" of it all and ordered a Scorpion Shot. "When in Vegas," I muttered, already regretting it. This wasn't brave; it was a desperate, ill-advised plunge. The shot itself was a fiery, overtly chemical-laden concoction, tasting like pure regret with a hint of antiseptic. But the main event, the scorpion itself⦠oh, the scorpion. It floated there, a desiccated, unappetizing husk. It promised an "experience" but delivered only visceral revulsion. It was the kind of fleeting, morbid curiosity that wears off after the initial shock, leaving behind a profound sense of "why did I do that?" ā intimately familiar to anyone who's chased a losing streak into the early morning. Finally, seeking some sweet redemption, I ordered the Deep Fried Ice Cream. It was well past midnight. The dessert arrived, not as a beacon of sugary hope, but as a lukewarm, soggy capitulation. The "deep fried" exterior, which should have been a glorious, crispy shell, was barely that; more a soft, oily casing. And the ice cream within, the heart of the dessert, had already begun its inevitable surrender, transforming into a sad, amorphous, half-melted blob. It tasted less like a delightful treat and more like a desperate attempt to pawn off something past its prime. It was handed to me with the kind of perfunctory disinterest that seems to be a hallmark of late-night Vegas service ā efficient, but utterly devoid of any warmth. The kind of dessert that made you question all your life choices, even the good ones, leaving a sticky, overly sweet, and ultimately empty feeling. I left Nacho Daddy feeling lighter, but not in a good way. pure elation of my blackjack win had been systematically chipped away, bite by disappointing bite, sip by regrettable sip. My wallet was indeed heavier, a testament to my skill, but my soul felt strangely depleted, burdened by the weight of such profound culinary letdowns. Las Vegas still finds a way to extract a few too many dollars for profoundly disappointing nachos, a truly regrettable novelty shot, and a sad excuse for dessert. Next time, I'll wisely stick to the casino floor. At least there, despite the inherent risks, the potential rewards are clear, and the only bad tastes are usually...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreOrder placed on Grubhub: Husband ordered the meat trio of enchiladas with rice and beans and I ordered the lobster and shrimp enchiladas with rice and beans and we got a churro to share.
20 minutes or so after placing the order we received a text message from the delivery driver telling us that part of our order was not available but that he was on the way with the other part. We called him to find out what was going on and he said he tried to call us from the restaurant (we had no missed calls from him) to let us know that the lobster and shrimp enchilada was not included in our order but that he was on the way with my husband's dinner and the churro and that we would need to call Grubhub customer service to get my dinner refunded.
So why should that affect my Nacho Daddy review and score? Because Nacho Daddy SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONES TO CALL US! Every other time a restaurant has been unable to fill a Grubhub order as it was placed that restaurant has called us to explain the problem and offer us the option of replacing the unavailable item with something else of equal value OR canceling the entire order because every other restaurant has had the good sense to realize that two dinner orders means two people most likely are planning on eating dinner and that if you just DECIDE to send one meal without the other you are basically DECIDING that the second person doesn't want or need to eat!
Think about this for a second. Imagine you place an order for dinner with your spouse and only one order shows up. What are your choices? Find something to eat at home? But what if you're between grocery trips and the whole reason you ordered from Grubhub was because you didn't have anything at home? Split the one meal? But what if the other person ordered something you don't like or due to allergies or something can't eat? Place a second Grubhub order? You've already paid delivery and service fees and a tip on your first order so now you're expected to pay them again for a second order? Not to mention one of you gets to eat now while the other has to wait another 30-45 minutes or more for their order to arrive. You could go out and get something which would be faster and save you the fees but the whole point of ordering Grubhub is the convenience of not having to go out? So because someone at Nacho Daddy got the order, couldn't be bothered to do the right thing and call us directly, and made the decision to send part of the order back to the kitchen to be filled and hand it off to the driver that way - I'll be eating a snack-sized bag of Fritos, a string cheese, and a churro for dinner.
Also - just in case you were wondering, husband's enchiladas and my churro weren't worth the money. Cafe Rio is half the price with a heck of a lot more flavor. The three different enchiladas, rice, and beans all just tasted like chili powder and not much else.
I've actually been wanting to eat here since this place opened but never got around to it and I gotta say - I'll probably never...
