Oh, Austin. You are full of people. People who live in Austin. Some of the people who live in Austin are Austin People. And Austin People don't eat at the Cheesecake Factory. Austin People eat at places like Mother's.
Mother's menu is full of foods with words like "Vegetable, "Veggie," and "Organic" and conspicuously lacking words like "Beef," "Chicken," and "Delicious." For this reason, and also the fact that once I went there I ordered something that was 10 dollars and was basically a piece of warm tofu with some organic ketchup sauce on it, I tend to demur when Mother's is proffered as a dinner spot.
But I've lived in Austin for uuuuum 6 years! And some of the people I love in Austin are Austin People. So I have to go there OK blah blah I got there and get a LOAD OF THIS:
OH MY FUCKING GOD YOU HIPPIES MAKE SOME TASTEEEEEEEEEE GOOD NACHOS!!!A pile of chips, smothered in melty white jack cheese, black beans, diced tomatoes and onions and pickled jalapeno slices, then topped with a huge scoop of guacamole and two of sour cream. These are some of the most AMAZING nachos I have ever had. Excellent proportions, quality ingredients, and the plate, huge as it is, INCLUDES sour cream AND guacamole. These are an excellent, excellent value and a great plate.
Only two qualms. First, the nachos are assembled like this: pile of chips, liberal application of toppings, scoops of guac and sour cream. This means lots of topping on the top chips and a lot of sad naked chips underneath!
Second, as you can tell from the picture, the sour cream is liquidy! I don't understand. But actually thinking about this it is different for me...but it is not bad (not a qualm)!
HERE IS ANOTHER PICTURE OF THESE AMAZING NACHOS:
