A search for grilled chicken nachos
Does anyone know of anywhere in Oakland or adjacent to Oakland where I could get this specific type of nachos? Specifically, grilled chicken instead of shredded chicken, and this kind of white melted cheese as opposed to orange cheese.
I had this beautiful plate of nachos while driving through Santa Barbara and have been craving something like this for the last year.
Please help me out!

Xingones with the tin tin chicken! Their nacho plates are huuuuuuge, and fully loaded. Great service and relatively easy parking

I was quite whelmed by the food there. and the prices were absurd. 12 wings for 24 bucks and they weren't anything to write home about.

You mean underwhelmed?
"The food there" you're judging all their food based on an order of wings?

I had other food and so did my friends, it was all mediocre. maybe it’s changed since it moved to jls, but I failed to see what was so special about it. expensive and doing nothing impressive. their staff was pumping out takeaway orders and the food we had in the restaurant tasted like middling modern delivery food, so that tracked.
sorry to rain on your parade, but at its price point it needed to be much better.

You’re not wrong. I offered a similar opinion recently and got an also similar reaction.

You have shitty taste. It's okay, it's not your fault. You don't have any class or brains

look in the mirror, my dude. it begins there.
nothing I said was stupid, I simply disagree with you and you're oddly thin-skinned about mediocre fried chicken. weird, but that's your prerogative. have a nice saturday, grab some 24 dollar wings.

Wait...so what kind of whelmed were you? Why didn't you mention the other food before? Who said it was "special?"
You also seem to have a problem with the staff handling pickup orders, which is probably a pretty big chunk of their business that they don't get tipped very well on (if at all).
Middling? Are you grading cotton?
Their food is solid, service is good. Their guac and hot sauces are excellent. Price point is fine. Take the stick out of your rectum.
(I don't actually expect you to properly answer any of my questions, or give legitimate feedback to any of my points. I'm content with knowing that you're wrong and I'm right. Keeeeeeeek rawwwwwwwwks)

Almost anywhere? Los Comales, Los Comadres, Dona, off the top of my head.

Dona’s is with the orange nacho cheese. Los Comales I thought had shredded chicken with their nachos, but maybe I’m mistaken.

Anybody have any recs for nachos with fake cheese? I honestly hate real melted cheese, I love that radioactive looking stuff that stays gooey at room temp.

If you're in SF, The Liberties in the Mission uses that fake melted cheese. Nachos really hit the spot after a few drinks lol

The Athletic! Looks kinda just like this if you’re up for middle of the road but sloppy and somehow still good nachos.
