What Michiko pistilli doesn't like about Nico's Mexican Food:
6.6.23 took food to go and they must have given me someone else’s order. I ordered a carne asada burrito and a California burrito without guac. I’m allergic to avocados. I got California with guac and chorizo and egg. By the time I made it back they were closed. I tried calling, but they don’t have an answering machine. I just want the food that I ordered and paid for. View all feedback. What Talia Koren likes about Nico's Mexican Food:
The California burrito here is incredible! I got mine with chicken will definitely get the classic with carne asana next time. Note that this place is cash only! No bathrooms. There are a couple tables outside. Super friendly service. View all feedback.

Absolutely love this lil taco shop! Super sweet nice customer service and THE BEST CARROTS and jalapeños ever. Sometimes I just come for that side alone.

Simply the best Mexican food in the area. Cash only, grab and head to the beach. Family run store that has been here since 1982.
