Nacho Daddy 9925 South Eastern Avenue



Exterior



It was the first night day of the "Spring" here in Las Vegas (we get about one day a year) and we wanted somewhere with an outdoor

 patio.  I remember seeing one at Nacho Daddy, the old El Jefe's.  When we got there (about noon) we thought the place was closed.  There wasn't one car in the parking lot; it was truly bizarre.  We walked inside and there was one other table in the restaurant so we were obviously seated right away.  It was a few weeks ago so my memory is a bit shot, however I tried to order 2 different Mexican beers and I was shot down both times.  I ended up with a Modelo.  The waitress was pretty emphatic in telling us that all nachos are individual sized.  I thought this to be a little strange since nachos typically come as a giant platter feeding up to 7 people.  I was also very curious to see the menu; my assumption was Mexican food.  My assumption was wrong.  Beside many different nacho combos, the menu is mostly burgers, sandwiches and salads.  On the waitresses recommendation, we got 2 different nachos; the El Traditional and the Sloppy Daddy Nacho ($8.95 and $9.95 respectively).  First word of advice, yes you CAN share unless you really really like nachos, and second, get one of the combos.  When you make your own ($6.95 to start with chips and cheese only), you pay for meat ($3) and EVERY topping ($1) ex.  Chicken nachos with tomatoes, olives and lettuce would cost $12.95.  This sounds like a major rip-off to me, especially if you aren't supposed to share.  Back to the story though; we got the Sloppy Daddy Nacho (brisket, cheese, grilled onions and peppers) sans the onions and peppers, for Edgy and Saree, and it really took away from the plate.  A big pile of Velveeta with strands of brisket (tasted more like pulled pork with no flavor) was put on the table and we barely touched it.  It was definitely not juicy, tasty, brisket that mom makes.  The El Traditional, which was chili, cheese, sour cream, pico and onions is not very Edgy approved as is, but also came with tomatoes and olives (not listed).  As this was the only item of our two that tasted good, we ended up both eating off of it, and Ed attempted to dodge all the healthy stuff.  We still had tons left over, even with us both eating off of one nacho plate.
 Ambiance: 6 -they haven't done much to change the place since it was El Jefe's, but it does look nice inside, and they have a great looking bar.
