The Revereence Hotel, a cute little pub on the corner of a highway in good ol’ Footscray makes good Nachos. That’s right, Footscray!

These nachos arrived in a deep boat shaped dish with the crew comprising of delicious black beans, golden cheese melted chips, finely chopped salsa, chunky cold guacamole, sour cream and a spreading of sliced mild jalapeños. It seemed that ship was sailing to yummy island and never coming back.
The cheddar cheese was melted perfectly on top. This made my eyes water. However, as I delved into the bowl I found the under layers of chips to be (cue doomy music), cheeseless. This left a sad little hole in my stomach. But nonetheless, this hole was quickly filled with black beans! A healthy amount of black beans mind you. No skimping here.

I managed to battle my way through the continuous waves of corn on the cob juice splashing my way from my friend across the table, to finish the Nachos full and satisfied. Unlike most places, the toppings of beans and guacamole were plentiful and all the ingredients tasted homemade and fresh. The only rough seas that this dish faced was the lack of cheese coverage on those bottom layers of chips, but besides that, some of the best Nachos I have eaten so far. So if you happen to find yourself hungry in the western suburbs of Melbourne, dock into the Reverence Hotel and order yourself Rev’s Nachos. Good Nacho give it 4 corn chips out of 5, Ahoy Matey!



Score: 4 / 5
