San Francisco is one of those enlightened cities that supports Meatless Mondays, advocating “more tofu, and less steaks“.

Nachos fever @ Cafe Iguana

Nachos

I’m a big fan of nachos and enjoy Mexican food especially on days when I crave avocado.

As you can see, this is Cafe Iguana at Civic Square in Elements shopping mall.

Unfortunately, we didn’t get the cushy seats shown in the background and had to settle for the chairs outside.

When it comes to nachos, I’ve eaten before where the cheese is too chunky and sometimes not melted enough or burnt and even worse, when the chips are not fresh.

Here, the toppings include roasted corn peppers, jalapeño, tomato cubes and a relatively generous amount of guacamole that comes with fresh and crispy chips.
