Could it be a case of first time lucky? Or do the cook’s at Trippy Taco, Collingwood know how to make a delicious nachos? I think I’ll go with the latter.

Trippy Taco offers two types of nachos - ‘nachos’ and ‘vegan nachos’. Tonight the thought of eating fake cheese made my head feel wheezy, so I opted to order the traditional nachos, which for those who are part of the new hit craze of Gluten Free, Trippy Taco has got you covered. And as for all meals on the menu, vegetarian.

Quick to hit the table the dish straight away passed the very technical ‘Plate Hotness Test’ (fresh from the oven) and immediately drew my attention to the ever important, cheese. Aesthetically the cheese coverage scored full points which made me nervous to check the under layers, as it has been a fault of many cooks since ancient nacho making days to forget the poor little chips underneath. But no, not this time. All chips got a slathering. As for the melting quality, perfect. Taken out of the oven just in time to display a beautiful golden glow.

Adorned atop of the high scoring cheese was a serving of tasty tomato salsa and a healthy dollop of freshly made guacamole and sour cream. In all its glory, the only fault I can give this meal was the lack of black beans to sustain the size of the dish.


How could I tell these were good nachos? By the end of the meal my plate was empty. Not only because I am a good eater, but because the nachos were gooooooood.
Score - 4 / 5
