I sampled these nachos at Wharf Rat (801 S. Ann Street, Fells Point) while meeting some long lost friends. Entitled “Harvey Nick’s Nachos,” they feature veggie or meat chili, onions, olives, shredded cheese, tomatoes, salsa, jalapenos and sour cream ($8.50) with the option to add guacamole for $1.75 (and up) extra. Sadly, that particular night they were out of chili so we were forced to eat the pile without it, but one amongst us was a vegetarian and they knocked off a buck from the price, so it was ok. |
And as was stated in rule #4 of the Nacho Manifesto, these nachos stood alone without the meat. Would have made it much better, yes, but this plate was truly heaped with chips and toppings to the point that even while split four ways, everyone received a very satisfying pile to themselves completely covered in sweet, sweet nacho incrediblosity. Gratis guacamole would have been a huge plus; I found it odd that the meat wasn’t the optional portion of the plate while the guac was, whereas virtually every other place that serves nachos goes the other way. Regardless, these were some fine, fine nachos and you should eat them the next time you’re in the mood for some Oliver Ale.
