Mangwon nacho shop: one Signature order fills two, Macho Nacho

What is Macho Nacho in Mangwon like?

Macho Nacho (마초나초) is a nacho shop near the Han River in Mangwon-dong. Maybe because it's so close to the river, lots of people pick up their nachos here and take them along. The owner is seriously kind too, T_T I asked a ridiculous number of questions and they never got annoyed and were so nice about it. I really hope the owner does well.

Torched-cheese nachos made to order

Macho Nacho makes your nachos the moment you order, and the owner torches the cheese by hand, so you can really taste that fire-grilled flavor.

It's super clean and super friendly.

You can drink in the shop, and takeout works too

Look around Macho Nacho and you'll see all kinds of alcohol, from whiskey to cocktails, and you can order it at the shop to drink with your nachos. Takeout is available too!!

You can feel the owner's thoughtfulness in these dental floss picks, hahaha

Macho Nacho menu and prices: what did we order?

This day at Macho Nacho I chose the Signature nachos (₩13,900), guacamole (₩3,000), a Jim Beam highball (₩8,000) and a draft beer (₩4,000). The menu is printed on hanji-style (traditional Korean paper) paper for a retro feel, and every item has its own character. There's also a huge range of drinks, so choosing took me over 10 minutes.

• Signature nachos ₩13,900
• Guacamole ₩3,000
• Jim Beam highball ₩8,000
• Draft beer ₩4,000

There's a playful item on the menu that says to ask when they're not busy, hahaha. The owner is so kind that I'm sure they'd happily make it if you ordered. Some items are easy to find elsewhere and some are tricky, but personally the descriptions underneath pulled me in more. I'll have to go back and order one sometime.

It's not a self-serve bar. It's the storage station where the owner takes out the toppings for the nachos. Since it's displayed up front where customers can see it, it looks even cleaner and feels trustworthy.

How is Macho Nacho's pickup packaging?

I picked up beer at Macho Nacho and they put ice cubes in a plastic bag along with it! Isn't that such a smart touch?

We got everything in a paper box with two sets of cutlery and headed to the Han River in Mangwon.

So pretty and refreshing, right? It goes so well with the Han River.

A nacho picnic with a friend at the Mangwon Han River

Time to spread out the picnic mat, sit down and eat our Macho Nacho nachos. Fitting for a Mangwon Han River pickup spot. Nachos go especially well with the river, and of course you can't skip the drinks.

Enjoy it a lot before summer comes, everyone.

The weather was nice, the breeze was cool, and the beer came in a clear can, which made it look even more refreshing.

Is one nacho order enough for two?

For two people, one Macho Nacho Signature nacho was enough. We'd brought dessert for the picnic, and I'd originally planned to order two nachos, but the owner said it would be a lot of food. And honestly, that was such wise advice,,,,

Everything laid out together looked so pretty. The nachos especially are so colorful that they stand out and look delicious. Amazing, right?

Red, orange, yellow, parsley green, and guacamole on top as an accent. As the Korean saying goes, food that looks good tastes better, and it really did taste much better.

My friend and I started with the Jim Beam highball and draft beer and then went for a salty-sweet combo. We used nature as a coaster, like this. So, does it feel very "teto" (a bold, macho vibe)?

Is the extra guacamole at Macho Nacho worth it?

The ₩3,000 guacamole add-on for Macho Nacho nachos is a seriously strong recommendation! It's an add-on, but guacamole is a must with nachos, everyone.

Ah, I want to eat it again. Not many places sell something like this, so Macho Nacho in Mangwon is totally my taste. I saw lots of people picking up orders.

I added jalapeños here and there, and with so many toppings, mixing and matching on top of the nachos however I liked was a lot of fun.

At the end we broke the nachos into pieces and scooped them up with spoons together. I thought it would be weird since they're chips, but it was a whole other kind of fun, so I got a different taste from start to finish.

The two of us ended up perfectly full. If we'd ordered two like I planned, as the owner said, it really would have been way too much,,, Please go to Macho Nacho, the nacho spot near the Han River in Mangwon. Pick up an order on your outing and enjoy the full picnic mood~~
