While I normally wouldn’t be caught dead in Stalking Horse (26 E Cross St., Federal Hill) on a weekend evening, I have to admit they’ve got some pretty good bar food. Weeknights at Stalking Horse are quiet and usually feature CHEAAAAP specials, so I’d recommend it. At any rate, this is about nachos so let’s talk about nachos.
The nachos at Stalking Horse are $6.99 and featured tri-colored chips, cheddar, salsa, guac, sour cream, jalapenos and black olives. For $2.99 more you can add chicken or beef, and for $3.99 more you can add steak or jumbo lump crab meat. |
I guess if I had to use a term for the nachos at Stalking Horse it would be “totally adequate.” They have all of the toppings people want and/or like, at a very very reasonable price. They satisfy all of the requirements for a decent pile and deliver plenty of flavor and a generous helping, even for two people. This particular serving had just a little too much salsa and not enough cheese, but not so much out of the ordinary as to cause me to hate them uncontrollably.
But one thing sets these nachos apart in my mind that has nothing to do with NachoQuest simply due to the Nacho Manifesto’s first law; you can substitute waffle fries for nachos at no additional cost. I’m going to go right ahead and guess that in the event you order waffle fries instead you won’t be getting nearly as much, but considering this is an option you see almost nowhere else in the city, I thought it was pretty awesome. If anyone out there has tried them, let me know how they were!
Bottom line: The nachos at Stalking Horse are really good.

LOL “but not so much out of the ordinary as to cause me to hate them uncontrollably.”
Love it!
Also, those nachos look super tasty!
Good luck with the Mobbies! You have my vote!
Years ago, after way too many cheap pitchers at PJ’s Pub across the street from JHU, a group of us planned an event to be called “12 Hours of ‘Cho.” Where for a 12 hour period, say 1pm until 1am, we would roam all over the city, eating only nachos and drinking only beer. It never happened, but I still love the idea. Sort of a condensed Nachoquest 2009?
Ha! That’s a pretty awesome idea!
