Gypsy Café - Lincoln, NH

Friends, if you've found yourself visiting this site, you are, essentially, one of us. What do I mean by 'one of us'?  It's quite simple actually, you're a nacho fanatic. As a nacho fanatic, you don’t like to settle on eating average nachos. And for this, we commend you, the reader, or as I like to call you, the fanatic.

It is our intention, nay, or duty, to seek out and help expose the world to the best nachos available near you. In order to do that, we have taken the task upon ourselves to indulge ourselves and dive deep into the nacho world of Boston and surrounding areas of New England. It's been a difficult journey, scarfing our faces with a combination of tortilla chips, guacamole, sour cream, jalapenos, olives, corn, beans, varieties of cheese as well as some other creative additives.

Yes, I know what you're thinking, how on earth do they do it? Its hard work and we suck it the fuck up. That's how.

This review comes to you from Lincoln, NH at a small little café called gypsy café. Now, as far as décor—this place is spot on if you're a packrat who enjoys seeing random knickknacks and tchotchkes all over the place. Don’t know what I mean by tchotchkes? Google it and learn my friend because it's a great word describing well, for lack of a better term, tchotchkes!The paintings on the wall are, to say it kindly, amateur, but they do provide some down to earth wholesome value that I think is the entire purpose of this place.

Overall, the vibe in there is nothing short of great.

After being seated at the table, we explore the menu in order to enrich our minds and more importantly, our bellies with the evenings eating possibilities.Our eyes glance the menu and quickly see their option of nachos served in three varieties. Classic, chicken or meat. We decide to order the Classic (no meat) and sit back, sip our beverages and await the upcoming nacho fiesta scarf session that’s about to take place.

OK—enough suspense. Let's get to the spicy savoury review of the nachos themselves.

The plate of nachos arrives to our table from the kitchen and it’s a dizzying experience. The nachos appear to be layered properly, as is most essential to nachos (but you already know that) They also do a good job of making the nachos appear to be a favourable amount, which they are, but the appearance of this being so is mostly due to their addition of one ingredient, cheese.

The first thing about this plate that anyone within a 10 block radius would notice is the amount of cheese they pour on top of this plate. My first response, naturally, was "holy shit-balls that's a lot of cheese". Now, you might be saying to yourself, how on earth could there be too much cheese on a plate of nachos? Is this really possible?

The short answer is yes, it certainly is. Especially when all of the cheese isn’t fully melted.

Fail. 

Other than that, the plate was garnished with a fair amount of black olives, jalapenos, and topped with diced tomatoes (nice touch) Yeah, that’s pretty much all they put in there. Excuse me, where's the guacamole?

The nachos did also have sour cream but not nearly enough to serve as a potential balancing factor to the amount of cheese on the plate.

All in all, the nachos were good, considering I do love cheese but the restaurant needs to work on their ratios and consider adding a few more veggies in order to create a well-balanced, delicious nacho experience.

Overall: 6.5/10
