Our Top Picks for Best Nachos in Davao

It’s NACHOS DAY! To celebrate this day, we have prepared for you a list of the Best Nachos to try in Davao.

There is no popular authentic Mexican or Tex-Mex restaurant here in Davao. (If there is any you know of, let us know. Leave a comment down below.) But we do have a handful of restaurants and bars that offer nacho dishes. Given that most of these restaurants do not really make their own nacho chips. So we are recommending the best nacho dishes based on the quality of chips they use. We also love these dishes because of the toppings, dips, and sauces they are served with. The ratio of chips to everything else also matters. And yes, consistency of quality. And presentation.

Best Nachos in Davao List

Nachos by Batu Cafe

We love Batu Cafe‘s Nachos. The chips are served without any toppings but with three sauces on the side.

It’s like you can make your own perfect nacho. Our Editor Ria of KusinaMaria.com loves putting a bit of Chili con Carne and some Cheese Sauce on her nacho. Sometimes a chip with just the Tomato Onion Salsa is a great way to cut through the richness of the Cheese Sauce. There is a sauce for everyone.

You can also have the option to order more chips or more sauce.

These chips are our favorite to snack on while hanging out. Be it during the daytime or while drinking at night. Batu Cafe is open from 10 am to 1 pm so you can have these from morning to midnight.

Cheesy Nachos by Cafe Demitasse

Planning a meeting or want to work outside of your home? Go to Cafe Demitasse and order their Cheesy Nachos.

We love ordering this during meetings, hangouts, and basically just about any time we are at Cafe Demitasse.

Nachos. Beef. Cabbage and onions. Fresh tomatoes. Cheese sauce. Shredded Cheese. This is the perfect nachos platter to share. Or not? Eat it alone. We won’t judge you.

And you can ask them to remove the onions (as suggested by Ria, who is not a fan of raw onions) or any component you like. Or you can just have it one the side. We suggest asking for the cheese sauce served separately to avoid sogging. But hey, if you are going to eat this fast, no need to do that.

This goes great with Cafe Demitasse’s Iced Tea or beer. Yes, they serve beer.

Off the Menu by Lachi’s Sans Rival Atbp.

And here’s something we love but unfortunately can’t share yet.

Lachi‘s does not serve this to the public so we apologize. And the star of this dish is Tomato Salsa. Tasty and tangy with a great balance of sour, salty, and sweet this Tomato Salsa is a must-try.

They served this to us during our events and special occasions. And we have been asking to have this on their menu. Or maybe Lachi‘s could be convinced to sell the salsa in bottles. Who knows, they might after we post about it. Repeatedly. Persistence pays off. We hope.

Earth Hour 2019: #connect2earth

Earth Hour 2019: #Connect2Earth

Today, March 30, we switch off the lights for Earth Hour 2019.

On its 12th year, Earth Hour is considered as one of the largest environment grassroots movement. It is spearheaded by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Philippines. Earth Hour started as a campaign to engage people and create significant environmental action against climate change. It is now a platform that aims to raise awareness on the importance of biodiversity as a viable resource.

WWF-Philippines Head of Climate and Energy Program and Earth Hour Pilipinas National
Director Atty. Gia Ibay shares “The last decade of Earth Hour has contributed so much to the global climate agenda and has paved the way for many conservation wins. Now that we are ushering in the second year of the movement’s new decade, our efforts will still be centered on raising awareness and inspiring action on conserving nature and biodiversity to counter the worsening impacts of climate change.”

Earth Hour 2019 Theme: #Connect2Earth

This 2019, WWF focuses on the issue of single-use plastics and how it addressing it can help reverse the loss of nature. #Connect2Earth was last year’s Earth Hour theme. During its launch, more than 17,900 landmarks and monuments in more than 180 countries and territories switched off their lights. The turning off of lights is a symbolic act tof commitment to and support for raising awareness and inspiring action on conserving nature and biodiversity.

#Connecr2Earth and #EarthHour trended and garnered more tha 3.5 billion impressions in 2018. This year, WWF hopes to surpass this achievement and raise better awareness about the importance of conserving biological diversity and the urgency of reducing the use of single-use plastics.

And there is hope that the movement can influence policy towards more sustainable laws.
