New year, same results: The Culture Dome’s kitchen is a shoe-in for best nachos; Mexi’s must be feeling like the bridesmaid again. The Economy Shoe Shop’s nachos are famous for the thick roof of cheese and heaps of peppers and jalapenos, and you never have to beg for extra sour cream or salsa. The huge helping of nachos is great for sharing, and you don’t have to worry about getting stuck with a bunch of chips with nothing on them at the end.
