The inventor of nachos was Ignacio Anaya.
Ignacio Anaya invented nachos in 1940 at a maître d'hôtel and a restaurant in Piedras Negras, in Coahuila, Mexico.
According to the Adriana P. Orr, Oxford English Dictionary etymologist in a letter sent in 1999, nachos were created by Ignacio Anaya in 1943.
Anaya was a chef at the Old Victory Club who one evening took pity on a group of U.S. military wives whose husbands were stationed at nearby base Fort Duncan.
Nachos were invented in Mexico, for Americans, by a Mexican!
They originated in the small Mexican town of Piedras Negras in 1943 and were invented by restaurateur, Ignacio “Nacho” Anaya.
One day, when Nacho was without his chef, he needed to rustle up a quick snack for a group of US military wives who were in town.
