Find a Nachos Stand for Your Event in the USA

Nachos were invented in Mexico, for Americans, by a Mexican.

They originated in the small Mexican town of Piedras Negras in 1943 and were invented by restaurateur Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya. One day, when Nacho was without his chef, he had to prepare a quick snack for a group of American military wives who were in town. Grabbing what he could find in the kitchen, he fried tortillas and served them hot with grated cheese and jalapeño peppers: simple, tasty and vegetarian.

The popularity of the dish quickly spread throughout Texas and the Southwestern United States, eventually becoming a worldwide favorite. Nachos as we know them today are truly a Tex Mex dish, but because of those unusual beginnings, they will always have Mexico at their core.
