.First created sometime around 1943, the popular and loved nachos are of Mexican origin.?History tells us that Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya created the original nachos in 1943. According to his son, Nacho was the ma?tre d' at the El Moderno Restaurant in Piedras Negras. One evening after the kitchen staff had left, a group of U.S. Army wives stationed at Fort Duncan in Eagle Pass came into the restaurant. After a long day of shopping, they were hungry and asked for a snack. ?Anaya prepared some tostadas cut into triangles. After topping them with shredded cheese and sliced jalapenos, he heated the dish in the oven. They were such a hit with the Army wives that they named the snack "Nacho's Special" before he could make another batch. Word of the new creation quickly traveled. People from all over tried them, loved them, and over time, the name changed. Eventually, Nacho’s special became special nachos
