Last Thursday was a day of celebration. One of my best friends, Ariana, got into vet school and turned 23! "Nobody likes you when you're 23." But Thursday, we loved her and tequila. Started the night with a shot of Patron and things just went down/uphill from there, however you look at it. Had dinner at Besos, a well known restaurant in EG on Main St. The restaurant was really cool- bundles of birch trees adorned the inside along with eclectic mirrors and wallpaper. The menu was extensive and you could find just about anything you'd ever imagine. Ariana's mom went ahead and ordered some appetizers for the table- 2 orders of taquitos and an order of nachos. The waitress insisted the portion was large for the nachos...I was skeptical. Just as I had expected immediately when they arrived I knew that they would not be enough for our table. So we went ahead and ordered a second serving. The nachos were colorful- red, black and yellow corn chips were topped with a meat chili sauce, black beans, cheddar cheese, diced scallions and grated parmesan cheese. Although the portion size was on the small side, the nachos were pretty good. The grated parmesan cheese was a nice touch and added a little extra kick. An abundance of toppings was distributed over all of the chips. I thought these nachos were very good considering that I did not think I would find them at this restaurant. The bottle of champagne I split, along with the two martinis were only the beginning. The rest of the night turned out to be pretty wild, would write more about it if only I could remember. I would definitely recommend this restaurant! The swordfish was amazing, as was the risotto. The nachos were good, not the best, but a great way to coat my stomach for the evening. Giving them a 7.7/10.
