Caribbean Nachos
At Luna Rosa Puerto Rican Grill y Tapas in San Antonio, Texas, the nachos are differentiated by their use of plantain chips instead of tortilla chips. Their tropical twist features oven roasted pork and and sofrito infused beans (with a spicy red chili sauce) layered in. These nachos are then topped with Luna Rossa sauce after a generous cheese sprinkle and bake for a `different level’ fiesta flavor. oven-roasted pork

Hot Chicken Nachos
Located in downtown Nashville, Pie Town Tacos puts a spicy spin on the traditional Mexican nachos dish that features velvety, house-made queso and zesty Nashville Hot Chicken. As Guy Fieri might say, it’s the Grand Ole Opry of Queso and Nashville Hot Chicken all together. Hot Chicken Nachos
A unique blend of guajillo and pequin chilies adds a distinct flavor to the chicken, but the milk powder is what really adds the crunch! This dish is a winner with crunchy chips, cotija cheese, and fresh cilantro, and it will have everyone loving it!
The reviews are in! Guy says \\”Great texture. Amazing crunch. Legit, my friend.\\”
Alehouse Nachos With Carnitas
Highlands Alehouse in Aspen, Colorado, takes the nacho game to the next level, and we do mean literally! The Pork Carnitas Nachos go above and beyond. Imagine perfectly slow-cooked, succulent, and seasoned pork, then placed on cripsy towel chips. \nBut wait! Each chip is drizzled with a cheese fondue mixture of cheddar and asadero, for a melt like no other.
They build this masterpiece not once, but twice, so no chip goes unturned in this party of flavors. A layer of freshly made guacamole, creamy jalapeno, and spicy pico de gallo provide a refreshing contrast. And we can’t forget about the pickled jalapenos! Even Guy Fieri had to call the pickled jalapenos and meltingly tender carnitas \”money.\”
Loaded Barnchos
The “barnchos” dish at Born in a Barn in Laramie, Wyoming is a flavor experience. These nachos are not the typical nachos you will find. Massive pub chips are topped with a mountain of succulent smoked pork. Smoked, tender chunks of meat are complemented by bold toppings of crispy bacon, spicy jalapenos, and zesty red onions.
The queso is made from heavy cream and melted cheese, so prepare to drown your nachos in it. Topped off with house-made barbecue sauce made from molasses, honey, mustard, and *a little* dark rum, Guy Fieri commended the flavor as being above and beyond. He raved, “The barbecue sauce is awesome!” just as he was impressed by the fat bacon pieces and perfectly smoked pork.
Smoked Chicken Wing Nachos
At the Carolina Kitchen and Barbecue Company in Sparks, Nevada, nachos have been elevated to the next level of finger-lickin’ good. What sets them apart? Instead of nacho chips, the entire dish is built on a base of smoked chicken wings that have been perfectly seasoned with their special Cajun wing rub, fried to a glorious brown, and then melted cheese, bacon, and moonshine barbecue sauce is layered over the top which is put in the oven to melt all that good stuff together.
You can find all the typical nacho-toppings such as ranch sauce, sour cream, tomatoes, and green onions on top which makes the dish taste not like nachos at all. For all the fans of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, even Guy Fieri was impressed by this dish! Guy Fieri
