Carmen Rocha, the El Cholo restaurant waitress who was credited with bringing nachos to Los Angeles in 1959, died in her home in Los Angeles on October 9. She brought the recipe with her from San Antonio, Texas where she learned how to layer tortilla wedges with shredded cheddar cheese and slices of jalapeño pepper.
