joshua tree nachos are bad

harsh. but when nachos show up late and cold to the bar and you're already seething, it's not good. in this case, kat and i went to jtree pretty early in the night, severely hungover (maybe just me) and slightly angry and emotional (again, maybe just me), ready for lots of cheese and meat.. what came to us was not quality. the nach were covered with an adequate amount of cheese i guess, but it was COLD. cold melted cheese doesn't cut it because 1) it looks gross 2) it tastes gross and 3) makes everything stick together so when you try to take one chip you end up taking half of the top layer, and nobody wants to be the one who takes half of the best part (usually) off of the nachos you're supposed to be splitting with your buddy.

underneath was a sodden mass of some chili that was too ground up and therefore not good and a pile of chopped up green and red peppers. i am not a fan of peppers in nachos. i think it changes the way they taste. i'm not sure if the peppers were part of the chili or their own entity, but i'm judging them either way. not to imply that we didn't eat all of them, because we did. i mean, they are nachos and we were hungry. but honestly, i was left with an empty, unsatisfied feeling. we ended up rifling beers (kat has decided that jtree has this effect on people some reason - perhaps the $2 drafts), leaving early, and getting wings.

4 out of 10. i'm being generous because they were not completely inedible and i might have been swayed by my severe hangover
