“Kamikaze” Food Truck’s Nachos Are To Die For

Before I talk about these nachos, I want to say that I’ve had many pleasant encounters with food trucks and I can’t really say I’ve ever had an unpleasant one. Food trucks tend to have the best food because the Chef who made the recipes, also prepped the ingredients and then stands right there making his creation and then handing it to you. I see a person who decided to follow the dream of doing something they love for a living. The Chef has to be business-man, prep cook, line cook, and even cashier sometimes. Although it’s not incredibly difficult to get a food truck started, it takes a well-rounded individual with enough motivation to keep one running.  So when I see a food truck, I see the hard work and I see the dream in the making!

Here they are at Dialogue Brewing and I’m not sure if that’s their usual spot but I’m sure glad they were there that time!

Anyway, about the nachos…

I don’t know about you, but this looks like Christmas in a paper tray to me. I couldn’t believe it when I saw the food truck lady hand these to someone out of the window on the side. I just made a face of disbelief at the lady and she says “Those are the wanton nachos, with queso blanco, chicken, and….” I forgot what else because she had me at wanton nachos. So there’s the wanton chips under a thicc blanket of “queso blanco” (which is likely white velveeta with a four-cheese-blend but “queso blanco” sounds much more nacho-ey) Don’t get me wrong it’s DELICIOUS. Then there’s tomatoes, serrano peppers, and my choice of sauce. I went with the Sweet’n’Spicy Chile sauce and it was AWESOME. It’s like getting smacked by a bus and kissed by your mama with every bite.

You don’t understand how good these nachos are. I love wantons and if you love wantons, you’re familiar with the melt-in-your mouth goody greasiness that happens when you bite into one. Now dip that wanton in queso. I can hear Guy Fieri saying one of his catch phrases at these nachos. And to the owner’s of kamikaze make this: Stuffed wantons that you dip in queso blanco as a cheaper “appetizer” version of this awesome dish

Kamikaze has some of the best food I’ve had in a long, long time. I tell ya, it’s all in the sauce. I end up getting a burger with these nachos because I was fat once and can eat as if I still am. The burger was phenomenally juicy and SAUCY. I tell ya, it’s in the sauce. I didn’t get a picture of the burger just so I have an excuse to go back.

Best Locally Owned Places To Eat After Midnight

It seems to be that part of being a millenial is being always hungry. We spend 90% percent of our time deciding what we want to eat next! If you live in a city like Albuquerque, you understand that almost every place is closed by 9pm which can be a real inconvenience if you work nights (most of us do). Yea, McDonald’s and Taco Bell are open after midnight but we know very well that these aren’t the healthiest options and definitely not the most delicious. That’s why I’ve made a list of the best locally owned places to eat after midnight. Continue reading “Best Locally Owned Places To Eat After Midnight”

Brixens 10/10 Review

Summer of 2017; I was downtown late at night. The building on the southwest corner of Central and 4th was lit-up after being dark for months. I could see into it through a gap in the window covers made of newspaper. There were people in there sweeping, moving things around, and putting things up. I had seen painters and other handymen during the day but it was almost midnight; it couldn’t be a construction crew. For weeks, I saw that building light up late at night. I didn’t know what was going on or what it was going to be but I was certainly curious. Continue reading “Brixens 10/10 Review”

Best Barbacoa in ABQ “Barbacoa El Primo”

It’s not boastful for El Primo to claim that his barbacoa is “Simplemente la Mejor” which means “Simply the Best”. He’s only stating the obvious. He’s just saying what everybody is thinking. If you’ve never had barbacoa before, you probably don’t understand how large of a claim this is. Barbacoa is a slow-cooked tender beef with a lot of flavor and a lot of fat. Essentially any barbacoa that you get at a restaurant is pre-made frozen or refrigerated but Barbacoa is like pizza; Even if it’s bad, it’s still pretty good. El primo makes their barbacoa in-house using a special recipe and it is especially tender and flavorful. Think of the best pizza you’ve ever had in your life and that is what El Primo’s barbacoa is compared to any other barbacoa. Continue reading “Best Barbacoa in ABQ “Barbacoa El Primo””

Breve Crepes & Coffee: 10/10 review

It’s a warmer-than-should-be, late-November afternoon and I’m finishing up a nice walk through my neighborhood. I walk by the Simms building and I’m reminded of the one time I went to Breve and how long it has been since then; more than a couple of years. It’s the perfect time because I’m hungry, thirsty, and I haven’t had a cheat-day on my diet in a while. Continue reading “Breve Crepes & Coffee: 10/10 review”

Brickyard Pizza Review

Approximately 10:30 pm it is a quiet night in Nob Hill. I park on Harvard street because it has the nice lights that were recently put in. As I get out of my car and start heading toward Brickyard Pizza, it is dead silent. That is until I open the door and walk into the establishment! There are multiple large group tables, the bar is completely packed, and the servers are running around with their hands full. It is TUESDAY! Continue reading “Brickyard Pizza Review”
