If you are looking for inventive takes on nachos, Philadelphia has you covered, writes Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme for Philadelphia Magazine.

Libertee Grounds in Spring Garden prepares amazing masala nachos, where tortilla chips get covered in queso, garlic sour cream, pico, along with your choice of meat (be it chicken kadai, spicy lamb keema, or Korean barbecue pulled pork).

Center City’s Hi-Lo Taco offers nacho fries on its late-night menu. The eatery piles waffle fries with house-made queso, pickled jalapeños, and queso fresco. You can add bacon, ranch, and scallions, if that suits your taste.

Grab tasty classic nachos at Iztaccihuatl Restaurant in Italian Market. These are topped with ground beef and chicken, refried beans, and mozzarella cheese, as well as lettuce, pico de gallo, and sour cream.

At Cantina La Martina in Kensington, nachos are a lunch specialty. They are spread out to ensure that they get an even distribution of black beans and Chihuahua cheese. However, the best part of this nacho platter is its house-made salsa tatemada, which brings a hit of heat.

Nachos at Juana Tamale on East Passyunk are made with thicker, house-fried chips that can soak up the beans and cheese while remaining crisp on the inside.
