Young Nacho loved to eat and cook, and when he grew up, he found a job in a restaurant. Eventually he became head waiter at the Victory Club, a popular restaurant in Piedras Negras, Mexico, right across the Rio Grande river from Eagle Pass, Texas.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOne afternoon in 1940, during the Victory Club's quiet hours between lunch and dinner, Mamie Finan, a regular customer from the US, walked in with three friends. They wanted a snack--something new, something different. Nacho rushed to the kitchen and improvised with what was on hand: corn tortillas, cheddar cheese, and jalape peppers. In that moment, Nacho's Special, the dish that later became known simply as \"nachos,\" was born!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWord of this delicious new snack spread quickly.
