Immediately upon viewing the text on the menu for the nachos at Lime (801 E Fort Ave, Riverside) a red flag went up in my head. Described as “single serve” nachos, one can plainly see that these nachos violate the essence of the Nacho Manifesto – in fact I may include a fifth law in the Manifesto against such arrangements. Don’t get me wrong, each individual nacho is fully loaded with cheese, chili, sour cream, some tomato, and a single jalapeño – and it tastes just fine. But at the end of the day, you’re paying $8.00 for 13 chips total.
But they are arranged all pretty-like right? That counts for something, right?
…..naaah. I want a huge fatass pile of chips and toppings people, especially if I’m paying that much.

I have to respectfully disagree on the outlawing of the individually stacked nachos from NachoQuest. It’s not my fave, but Austin Grill does a good job with it. These don’t look as good, though.
I am embarrased/proud to say that I drove from Charles Village to Cockeysville for nachos from Moe’s the other day to try to beat a hangover. It’s a chain, but they are soooo good. Maybe your quest will help me find a closer substitute.
Believe me, it will. Cockeysville is a looong haul for nachos.
I have to agree with you, Evan. Individually stacked nachos are not real nachos. I also saw your post on Alexander’s Tavern. I didn’t get their nachos last night because there was no guac! While I fell in love with their Texas Tots, no guac nachos just seemed so wrong.
I love nachos with cheese and chili.That dish is making me very hungry.that photo makes me with I had some right now.I never heard of Lime before this post.I am very familiar with that area.I used to shine shoes in that area when I was a kid and a teen back in the 1970’s and the 1980’s.My favorite place in that area was the French Quarter’s resturant on Fort Ave.I loved their food.
