Nachos of the World: Manchester 2

Crazy Pedros Rating: 2.5 Cost: £6 Small £15 Large ($8-20 USD) Location: Manchester, UK Customization: No Website

Full Disclosure: This review was written in fall of 2019, but never posted and thought long lost on a USB drive. It has since been found, so I am posting all of the reviews contained on it.

While settling into the Northern Quarter of Manchester, we began to become familiar with many of local eateries. One that we grew extremely fond of was an eclectic underground (literally, below street level) pizza joint known as Crazy Pedros. The decor is incredible and outlandish, The clientele is lively and young, the cocktails are awesome, and the food is actually really great. Plus, they have pinball machines. We found ourselves regularly stopping by to share a pizza and have a few pints. Their pizza menu is as bizarre as their ambiance, with its interesting and elaborate topping combinations. Some of the more outlandish pizzas were the fried chicken and waffle pizza and the Gringo (Pulled Pork, Sweet Corn, and Sour Cream) Pizza. Although I don't expect to find Nachos at most pizza joints, the menu here made it far less shocking. 

Crazy Pedros offers 2 versions of their Nachos. Their first nacho comes in either a Large size, or a Ridiculous Size, which is actually served in a Trash Can lid. The second type they offer is their Pizza Nachos, which are the ridiculous Nachos with a "whole pizza of your choice chopped up and thrown in." As exciting as this sounded, we stuck with the large as we were planning on having normal slices as well (plus, It was £28!). Their Nachos are comprised of a body of chips with Jack Cheese, Jalapenos, Guacamole, Sour Cream, and a Sriracha sauce.

I was incredibly pleased to note that when the Nachos arrived they had the same presentation I came to expect of their pizzas. They didn't look lazy or conservative. This was junk food spared no expense. So lets get down to the details! The chips were plentiful, crispy, and tasty. The cheese was melted to perfection and covering virtually every square inch of the nacho. The jalapenos were also quite good. They were pickled as they should be, and sprinkled at appropriate areas throughout. Those are the highlights of the Nacho. Unfortunately, it started to fall off in the other aspects. The Sour Cream was far closer to a Crema than a traditional Sour Cream. It was also a bit bland for my tastes. The Guacamole felt a little over processed, and had a strong artificial taste. The Sriracha sauce is where the nacho really stumbled. Like the Salsa from the last place we visited in Manchester, the Sriracha sauce tasted more sweet than hot. It also had a strong Tomato forward flavor that overpowered the guacamole and sour cream flavors. In fact, it pretty much dominated the whole Nacho. I honestly think If I ordered these again, I would order it without the Sriracha sauce, and I think it would be a far better dish. Despite these complaints, it still felt like a guilty pleasure indulgence. I wasn't sad I got them, but I definitely preferred the Pizza that followed.

Bottom Line: They are worth a try, but don't expect anything revolutionary. Their specialty is their pizza, and that's what I would recommend everyone get instead.
