Nachos history

It is considered that Nachos' history dates back to the year 1943. It is said that the Nachos were created in Mexico by Ignacio Nacho Anaya. According to his son, Nacho was the Maître d'hôtel at the El Moderno Restaurant in Piedras Negras. On one of the evenings when the kitchen staff had left, a group of US Army wives came into the restaurant who was stationed at Fort Duncan in Eagle Pass. After a long day, the group were hungry and they asked for snacks. Anaya prepared some tostadas cut into triangles.

He topped them with shredded cheese and some sliced jalapenos and heated them in the oven. The last moment preparation became an instant hit and the US Army wives named the snack as Nacho’s special. The popularity of new creation travelled the distance and several people came in to try the dish and loved it. Over the years, the name changed to what we now know as Nachos.
