  "account": "The day is here to celebrate National Nacho Day, which falls on Friday, November 6, 2026. Nachos have quite a fascinating history. In 1943, Ignacio \"Nacho\" Anaya García, working at Club Victoria in Piedras Negras, Mexico, created the dish when American military wives visited. Anaya fried tortillas, topped them with cheese and jalapeños, and served them to the guests. The dish was an immediate success, leading Anaya to open his own restaurant, El Nacho, in the 1960s.

At participating Moe's Southwest Grill locations, rewards members can get $5.99 nacho entrees from Friday, November 6, to Sunday, November 8.
