Review: Cho’s Nachos and Beer

Tucker Noelke, staff writer

It is hard not to be a nacho lover. A plate full of tortilla chips, various different toppings, and queso poured on top is difficult to pass up. In Charlottesville, there have not been any restaurants that focus on nachos being their main dish, but that has changed within the last week. Such a simple concept that is so easy and brilliant, Cho’s Nachos and Beer has made its home on 946 Grady Avenue.    

Immediately after walking through the Cho’s door, my calm Sunday turned into a sports bar lover’s dream. Cho’s is decked with TVs in every direction. If there isn’t fun music playing, then the most recent football game is blaring through the loudspeakers.

The waiters and waitresses are energetic and happy to help with anything a customer needs. Before coming to Cho’s I had looked at the menu, so I could have an idea of what to order. There were so many options, I honestly had trouble deciding what to choose. Although Cho’s is a restaurant for nachos, they also offer a variety of food such as sandwiches and salads for those who do not want nachos, but don’t be crazy, you want their nachos.  

I ordered the Texas Two Step Cho’s, which included tortilla chips, beef short rib, black beans, corn salsa, jalapenos, house-made queso, shredded pepper jack and cheddar, chives, and the Cho’s sauce.  The price was $13; however, the size of my nachos was incredibly big, so I definitely got my money’s worth. The loud chatter of people in the restaurant made it clear that any aged person could enjoy Cho’s mountain of nachos placed in front of them.

My overall Cho’s experience was one to remember and would be for any nacho obsessed individual.
