(let it be known that I will be performing a full review on Turp’s very, very soon)
Let’s just get this out of the way right now: The meatless nacho fiesta comes with salsa, black olives, jalapenos (not fresh), cheddar, gauc and sour cream. For $5.95, add chili for a buck.
But if you’re smart/lucky/badass enough (like me) to walk into Turp’s on a Thusday evening, nachos are half price. A whopping 3 dollars for these nachos right up in here. The nachos are a good portion for the price – I had no problem eating them by myself. BUT FOR THREE DOLLARS, THEY ARE INSANELY CHEAP. That’s even less than 7-11 nachos, the lowest species of nacho. |
The fiesta nachos did bring to mind, however, an interesting distinction: bar nachos versus restaurant nachos. As far as bar nachos go, the ones at Turp’s are perfectly fine. But in a restaurant setting, where the prices tend to be higher and the servings larger, these nachos would be considered by me to be rather poor. Fortunately, Turp’s has found a magical balance between quality and price to fit the bar nacho mold fairly well.
At the end of the day, especially a Thursday, I’d eat nachos at Turp’s again (so long as they added more cheese).
3 golden nachos out of 5
4 golden nachos out of 5 on Thursdays

i had the chili nachos there last night and they were great. the chips are homemade and they must have listened to your review because there was a TON of cheese on them.
that’s great!
