6 Amazing Nachos in Shanghai
If it’s going to be hot and steamy, you mine as well pretend you’re on a beach in Mexico. But how can I do that?? you might be asking yourself. Easy- go eat nachos, and here are 6 perfect places to do it.
Maya
Price: RMB 65
Address: Grand Plaza Club House, 2/F, 568 Julu Lu
Tel: 021 6289 6889
Hours: Dinner, Mon-Sat, 5-10.30pm, Sunday, 5-9.30pm, Brunch, Sat-Sun, 11am-4pm
Of course a nacho list should include a Mexican restaurant, and what better place than Maya. They don’t overdo it or try to wow you with all the crazy toppings, just perfect chips, beef and cheese with a healthy glob of guac.
Boxing Cat
Price: RMB75
Address: Sinan Mansions, Unit 26A, 519 Fuxing Zhong Lu
Tel: 021 6426 0360
Hours: Mon-Wed, 5pm-midnight, Thur, 5pm-2am, Fri, 3pm-2am, Sat, 10am-2am, Sun, 10am-midnight
The Full Monty Nachos have everything you’d want in a nacho platter: freshly made tortilla chips smothered in chili, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, a spicy tomato-chipotle salsa and heaps of jalapenos. And of course it doesn’t hurt to get a beer or two while you’re there.
Union Trading Co.
Price: RMB68
Address: 64 Fenyang Lu
Hours: Mon-Sat, 6pm-2am
The best nachos break all the rules, and Union Trading Co. know how to do that well. Their T’achos forego the traditional toritilla chips in favor of crispy bakes tatter tots. Added onto that is perfect chili, melted cheese, a healthy dallop of sour cream and scallions. The negroni on the side is optional but recommended.
Shanghai Brewery
Price: RMB 90 (with beef) RMB 75 (without beef)
Address: 20 Donghu Lu
Tel: 021 3356 3996
Hours: Daily, 5pm-12am
Shanghai Brewery is mostly known for their spot-on craft beers and excellent donghu lu location, but don’t sleep on their nacho platter. It’s a heaping mound of chips, cheese, tomatoes, jalapenos, black olives and beef, all the things that make nachos great and all done right.
Cages
Price: RMB93
Address: 3/F, 428 Jiangning Lu
Tel: 021 5299 5273
Hours: Daily, 9am-2am
Your only tough decision at Cages will be beef or chicken. Either is a winner and once you choose, you’ll be whisked away to a meaty, cheesy, spicy pile of bliss.
Rooster
Price: RMB 50 (+10 to add pork or chicken)
Address: 455 Shanxi Bei Lu
Tel: 156 1880 8692
Hours: Sun-Thu, 11am-12am, Fri-Sat, 11am-1am
The pulled pork nachos are pretty damn solid at the Rooster, and even more solid when you consider they’re 1/2 off on Mondays.
