    The chicken in the Nachos, Quesadilla, and Enchilada was very dry. The nachos had about 10 chips with a plate full of toppings. I would not order either of these again. No one from my table finished their meal.

    I have been to Nico's many times before and so I would recommend for a quick bite to eat and for the great margaritas. So, I was looking forward to entertaining friends there for a birthday lunch. I made reservations 2 weeks prior, confirmed twice, by phone , text and email. Unfortunately, our table was not ready, in fact, no one seemed to know about it. There was another larger reservation at 1:30pm (mine was for 1pm). Service was inadequate. some staff was a little short tempered (only one) since they seemed short staffed. Perhaps they were. There were long waits and requests for drinks, flatware, etc. Since the later, larger party ordered before us, our food came out staggered. I did expect, and do expect some kind of "sorry", like free margaritas? due to the mix up?

    Great atmosphere and food! The service was a tad slow, but understood at it was rather busy. Margaritas we 1/2 off on Mondays and soo tasty! Many flavors to choose from and we loved the ones we tried. Will be going back.

    The food was very tasty but was unfortunately marred by the price. I didn’t find it worth it. Why charge for every single topping?

    The house is adorable, but the tables, windows and bathrooms were filthy. Our scallop tacos were cold and tasteless. The quest and chips were excellent. The service was very good .

    Nico's was awesome. The food was amazing, the patio is a great place to sit on a summer day, and the service was exceptional. We will definitely be going back!
