Nachobot

Terrible service. You need to stand right in front of the chef otherwise he will make everyone else’s food before yours.

To quote epic movie Gladiator…
Proximo: «I wasn’t the best because I killed quickly. I was the best because the crowd loved me. Win the crowd and you’ll win your freedom.»
Maximus: «I will win the crowd. I will give them something they have never seen before… LATE NIGHT NACHOS!»
And the crowd yelled, in unison: «Bring Back Nachos! Bring Back Nachos!
Bring Back Nachos!»
Fin.

I just can’t even believe you took a perfectly respectable concept like gourmet nachos and threw it all away. What did a nacho ever do to you? Will I come back here? Bring back the melted cheese goodness and then maybe. Who wants a late night bowl o soup? Tsk tsk.

The Phoenix New Times winner of «Best After Hours Feast» last year, Navajo chef Renatto-​Mario Etsitty landed in this location months ago, renamed it RezBot and launched his own particular fusion of Native American and contemporary suburban neo-​mexican culinary taste.
My favorite offering is red bell pepper soup served with fry bread, second favorite is the blue corn chilaquiles, third the braised lamb shank stew. I stopped in last night to give Mario a slice of home made pecan pie I stole from an event at Parazol and found out he has a new lamb loin dish — yum!
His Aqua Fresca is to die for.
He also has quesadilla and burgers made from halal meat for those needing a Taco Bell or burger joint fix …
BTW he’s getting real tired of people wandering in thinking this is an Indian restaurant expecting to see curries and tandoori dishes …

I agree with all of the recent reviews. Nachobot was awesome, amazing even! Rezbot, nothing special at all. Bring back Nachobot please!

«Rezbot» (No nachos)
Translation: We all know what you came here for, but try this instead!
Okay, so this is a gourmet fry bread place rather than a gourmet nacho place now. There were a couple of options for burgers, vegan burgers, and «navajo tacos», which is basically just more fry bread but loaded. I was trying really hard not to be disappointed, and having really really good bread with some green chile helped with that.
But why oh why is the menu so sparse? Where are my nifty options, the eclectic options that make this part of town so unique? It’s some of the best fry bread I’ve had, but no way does that earn high marks when this old house is capable of doing so much more.
Someone please tell me this place is getting more options, or that the menu/​theme rotates.

Don’t be nervous when you feel like you’re walking into someone’s janky apartment. You’re not. This place has got tasty nachos that you can eat with chop sticks (this allows me to feel very cultured… except, I usually just use my fingers because I’m not that proficient with the sticks). I recommend their nachos with the chorizo. Great late night snack.
Just a heads up, not sure how long it’s going to last for (hopefully not forever!!) but the last few times I stopped in they’ve been calling themselves Rezbots (yes, like a Native American Reservation). Don’t get me wrong, the fry bread is delicious. But, when you’re going for nachos, fry bread is a mean trick and then you just end up asking someone to drive you to the closest Julioberto’s…be warned. (try and be in the mood for both fry bread and nachos. Win-​win)

The Munchies sign is still there but the menu is completely revamped… Last time I was in there the chalk board says ResBot and offers Native/​New Mexican/​Mexican type foods that would often be found on a trip to the Native Reservation. Items such as fry bread and Indian tacos, enchiladas and more have replaced the simple yet unique list of Nacho combinations that were once there.
Go in with an open mind.
The ventilation is poor and you will come out smelling like fry bread.
I do miss the Nacho concept that was once Nachobot.

This was a nice place to go and have some different types of food on a busy first friday. Haven’t had to much experience with the food but it certainly had some interesting flavors. The setting was fun as well. I thought my blue corn enchiladas were flavorful as were the accompanying greens and beans. The food and setting was good enough for the fourth star. A perfect first friday type of place to go. If you enjoy it, it’s open other days of the week, too.

Nachobot no longer serves Nachos. They have a re vamped menu and a new chef guiding the fare. Not sure if it is any good, I was in the mood for Nachos.
Their Nachos were creative and flat out great.
I’ll not drop to 1 star, but they don’t serve Nachos any longer.
The Nacho’s almost all night was a great concept.
We’ll watch this space for developing news.

Nachobot WILL make you cool. «How cool?» you ask.
Well, I just watched a guy walk in wearing bunched up khaki’s and a ratty old t-​shirt and right as I type this he is walking out with what looks to be low cut skinny jeans, a flashy button up shirt, and the brightest shoes on you could ever imagine. He’s adorn with women carrying his order of nacho’s drizzled in gooey home-​made nacho cheese sauce, topped with slow cooked to perfection spicy colorado beef drowning in its own delicious red sauce, fresh chopped green onion, and loaded with jalapenos. Man… I wish I was that guy.
You know what, sorry, false alarm, the first guy just waked out with his own order of nacho’s dawned in caramelized mushrooms, perfectly roasted garlic, pico de gallo and more of that intense looking, home-​made nacho cheese. I didn’t know you could caramelize mushrooms by the way, but Nachobot seems to know how. I guess the guy wearing the skinny jeans was just in there ahead of khaki.
The real truth behind elevating your cool status is just ending up here. The Roosevelt cool seems to permeate through this place and the rest of this little strip of downtown Phoenix these day’s. That’s a cold hard fact, cold and hard like ice, but not vanilla ice. Ok maybe vanilla ice back in 1991. Lets face it, he was the epitome of cool for at least a few months during 1990 or 91. Why else would you know who I’m talking about?

Fun place to go to late at night when you’re in need of delicious food. Their hours are unconventional, making it a great place for a late night snack.
Every time I’ve gone they’ve run out of some ingredients, which is disappointing but indicates that they have delicious food.
I would describe this place as a hole in the wall, hippie, gourmet nacho place. Sounds strange, but you’ll like it.

Pros: Amazing taste! Unique nacho combinations. Friendly service. Near Lost Leaf. They now have a huge table. (It is communal dining style.)
Cons: Price. No refill — not even water.
I have been with friends a few times. Now, I crave them. However, I’m a broke college student, so I try to split the cost with a friend (or buy them a beer next door). The serving is large enough to do this, so that’s nice.
Recommended. Try not to go super-​late on a busy night, as they do run out of ingredients for the presented nacho choices. However, the chef can create good stuff off the top of his head.

This place is great! I mean how many Nacho places, where they only sell nachos are there? Plus you get to eat them with Chopsticks.
They have some really cool kinds of nachos too. Not your average Chips and Cheese. I recommend there Buffalo Chicken nachos with melted blue cheese sauce. You have never tasted anything like them. They have one with hot dogs, one with what seems to be a beef, like pot roast, and for you veggies they have a nacho for you. You also get a choice of green or red salsa on the side.
The price my be a little of a shock around $ 7 dollars, but they are well worth it. The portions are enough for 2, or 1 drunken person stumbling over from The Lost Leaf.
So go try something different and you to will fall in love with this place. Look for the big Neon sign that says «Munchies»

Nacho, nacho maaan, I want to be a nacho (wo)man! Especially here.
The nachos at this joint are seriously delicious. I’ve been here on multiple occasions and their vegetarian nachos never let me down. I do wish they had more than one veg option — but at least they do that one dish so well. Whole garlic cloves! Melty cheese! Guacamole! Chop sticks! Don’t let the initial sticker shot deter you, there are enough nachos for two people to nosh on all night long.
The ambiance needs quite a bit of work — but that can be fixed by taking your plate of nachos over to Lost Leaf or Jobot.

Ha, nacho’s nachos… or nachos. What will you have? I’ll have nachos!
Nachobot is in a weird place. When you arrive, it will look like a house. That is just how this street works as all the houses on this street are businesses. Deal with it.
Secondly, the dining experience is more akin to going to a friends house and you laying on the floor to eat than a restaurant sit down place. Again, this is a house with some benches along the wall and a porch. I opted to block the way, and sit on the porch steps. so if you’re looking for a place where you can stare doe-​eyed at your date across a table… this is not the place. Deal with it.
Food: I got the chicken one, whatever that was officially called. It was damn good. The salsa sauce stuff combined with the chicken and cheese made quite a tasty treat. You know what I liked though? They serve it with chopsticks. Yes, effing chopsticks. Keep those hands clean for groping your girlfriend and use those chops to clean your plate.
Beverage: They serve all bottles in the classic glass bottles. Meaning, when you finish it… you have to buy another one.
What I thought was «bad» was that it was $ 7 for a plate… which didn’t include a drink. But then again… There was enough food that I didn’t even eat it all, so maybe I’m just being a little bitch here after eating on the cheap at home. But for sure, one thing that I didn’t care for was the «one serve» drinks. I admit, I love to drink/​eat at ⁵⁰⁄₅₀. So when I ran out of my beverage (water), I was kind of like, meh, I don’t want to buy another one… but then again, this place kind of strikes me as a place that wouldn’t even care if you brought your own soda/​water. Not sure on that.
I will be back… and I’ll bring a date (if for nothing else, how badass is it to say that we are going to go eat nachos while sitting on a porch?)

Maybe it’s the beer talking, Nachobot, but you got a butt that won’t quit. You’ve got these big, chewy nachos… sfdakljagl;kfgjal;gkja;gll;asdfk…
Seven dollars?! Get outta here…

Get down here and try these nachos folks, you will not be disappointed. They make from scratch their cheese sauce, and it could not be more perfect. I wish I had pics to show you, but every time I get them I just have to dive in right away.
My personal favorite is the colorado beef nachos, the meat is simmered for 6 hours in spices and is sooooo tender. They have very unique choices here you will not find anywhere, and also have vegetarian nachos that I have heard are just as good.
I have been here about 5 times now and have found myself craving this place every weekend, run to this place, you will be so happy :)

John Sagasta is taking over the Roosevelt area — and that’s a good thing.
Nachobot serves well designed /​prepared food. A huge plus is the late-​night hours employed here. Most things food close around 10pm nightly. My one main complaint (and it could very well be because the place is new) is the lack of being opened earlier in the day! The Lost Leaf /​Nachobot mix is a great combination.

Until last night, I had no idea nachos could be gourmet. SO good! I went with a friend and we split the veggie nachos and I still had enough to bring home for dinner the next day (seriously — it is a LOT of nachos). The food was really fantastic — tender spinach, whole cloves of garlic, tasty cheese and salsas spicy enough to make this Midwestern gal cough (in a good way). Sadly, they were out of guac.
If this review were based solely on the quality of the grub, it’d be 5 stars. Ambiance was close to nil, though — the interior was just a big, empty space, with nice art on the walls but nowhere to sit. And seriously, no guac? SO SAD. The place has a few kinks to work out, but I assume that the amazing food will keep people coming back for seconds and thirds and… I definitely recommend it.
