Southern-meets-Mexican eatery Nacheaux from couple Anthony and Stephanie Brown has made the move from teal food cart on 82nd to brick-and-mortar restaurant inside Blind Ox, and its success is well-deserved. Who else combines proteins like crispy carnitas, Cajun fried chicken, or cornmeal-fried crawfish with deliciousness like red beans and rice, mac and cheese, Hot Cheetos, or hand-pressed Cajun-spiced tortillas? No wonder they were featured in our Taco Chronicles: PDX Edition roundup for their excellent fried catfish and shrimp tacos. But as its name might suggest, Nacheaux also serves nachos that are an adventure in texture and flavor: housemade tortilla chips dusted with a Doritos-inspired spice blend and topped with crispy carnitas, red beans and rice, salsa, and a whopping five cheeses, then garnished Nacheaux-style with a creamy Cajun-spiced sauce, purple cabbage slaw, and pickled red onions. On our visit, the carnitas were sold out, so we got ours topped with cornmeal-fried crawfishâa welcome substitution, if you ask us.
