Extremely slow server. We had to ask a few times for boxes, bills and to order
A delightful dining experience. Cute place. Server was fantastic and made great suggestions
Great Margaritas and wonderful tacos. We will go back Highly recommend
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.
Everything about this place is amazing. The service. The food. The ambience. .. I'm so glad we found Nico's. The perfect place on a summer evening.
Fun casual place with very good Mexican food and big selection of tacos
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!
Fun and tasty night at Nico’s. The everyday 9:00 pm Happy Hour features half-price tacos and half-price margaritas. Not only was everything really good, it was a really good value too.
If you're there for dinner on a Saturday, stick around for the 1/2 price margarita happy hour that starts at 9:00 if you can. 👌💯
Excellent experience! Food was amazing. Tacos and salsa really great!
Not sure. It was quite noisy and the service wasn't great. The food was good.
Fresh update to old Muffuletta site. Great menu and moderate prices. Nice addition to this neighborhood.
Staff and food were fabulous! They could offer a wider variety of tequilas. Surprised not to find Herradura and El Jimador on their menu.
We were in town for a convention. Found Nicos on Open Table. We are in one of the rooms upstairs. Our waiter was a little quiet in the fairly noisy room but service was fast. Drinks were delicious and we all enjoyed our dinners. Definitely recommend.
Wonderful food, lovely atmosphere. The only challenge was that they didn't have our Open Table reservation. Fortunately we were there early enough to get seating pretty quickly.
Food was great, but service was not. They did not seem to care that we had reservations - or that we were celebrating a birthday. (I had included that bit in our reservation)
When we first got there, we told a waiter that we had reservations. He said, ok, give me a second to clear a table. He then went on to take an order from one of his tables. Someone else then saw us. I explained that we had reservations but she didn't seem to care.
I didn't realize that the restaurant was on two floors. Had I known that I would have asked specifically for a table on the first floor due to physical limitations on my part. From my seat, I could see a massive hole in the wall that was only partially hidden by some drywall.
It took forever for the waitress to come to our table. This continued throughout our meal. Our dinners came at different times. Just poor training I'd say, and a lack of caring for their customers.
I might be tempted to go there again because the food was excellent, but only if they have a change in management and staff.
Awesome margaritas and always go for the tacos. Run very well and even when busy, you can expect top notch service.
We were there on a Friday night, so the noise level was to be expected. Our margaritas were superb! We each had a different entrée and both were delicious. We will definitely go there again.
Great restaurant only thing I wish they had blended Margaritas great food.
My only disappointment was that our server kept coming back to our table, in an effort to clear every single dish, cup, plate, piece of silverware to get us to leave. Not happy and feel that was rude
I prefer a bit less noise. Otherwise this is a fun restaurant with good food and friendly staff.
Food is always fresh and delicious. The drinks are fabulous too. The wait staff is very attentive and helpful. Love going there!
The restaurant itself it great atmosphere. Server and food were mediocre especially for price. Margaritas were top notch. Would go again for drinks but not food.
great having Eloté this far north in the middle of winter.
We had a great experience. We had a reservation but had to wait a bit for the table to clear- not a big deal at all. Well worth the wait. Staff was very nice, food and drinks were great. Will definitely go back again
Fair portions, and the happy hour menu is as price-fair as it is compact. It seems to be about fair value for quality Mexican food in the Twin Cities. We'll be back.
I’ve been to Nico’s twice now and have had stellar, quick service both times! I can’t wait to go in the summer when they have their front porch open for dining/sipping on their delicious and creative margaritas.
Great place and a really cool environment! Great tacos!
very good authentic MX food. They have a good selection of Margaritas. The restaurant is in an older house - funky, but hip - if you like that sort of thing. We did, and will be returning.
Overall our experience was good. Our food and drinks were good, although drinks may be slightly over priced.
Totally enjoyed the evening from the beginning with impressive and enthusiastic service by Erick our waiter. He had good recommendations and descriptions for our food choices. Erick was always near by to make sure we had everything we needed and that we were happy with our food. Great Margaritas! Can't wait to return.
Nothing very memorable here. Lots of great Taco places in the twin cities that stand out beyond Nico's. The service was ok, not great. I will likely not come back.
Excellent food and ambience! Service was friendly and helpful!
Reservation defaulted to other location so be careful.
Good stuff
We loved Nicos and can’t wait to go back! Best guac I’ve ever had!
The place was nice and the food they had available was pretty tasty. The only problem was they were out of multiple dishes and it was primetime on a Friday night. Seemed odd and was disappointing.
