As If You Needed an Excuse for Nachos...

Cheese nachos at Cactus Cantina

National Nachos Day is November 6.  Fortunately, for those looking to celebrate, there is no want for Mexican or Tex-Mex restaurants walkable in the neighborhood.  And, while you really can't go wrong at any of the locations, our favorite is Cactus Cantina.  Why? After sampling the nachos at each of the restaurants, we ordered a second plate only at Cactus Cantina.
