The factory nachos are particularly noteworthy, with crisp chips, covered with a medley of melted cheeses, guacamole and sour cream and drizzled with red chili sauce, as well as sprinkled with a shower of green onions and jalapenos. The hot spinach and cheese dip is served bubbly hot with tortilla chips and a mound of salsa.

Pair those drinks with excellent foods like taco del mar, filled with the freshest Baja fish or shrimp.
