Families favorite breakfast burritos in San Diego for decades. Nicest people who run and own the restaurant. Always fast and always delicious.

It's been awhile since I've been back to Nico's and the few times I've been back recently, I'm impressed that they're better than I remembered many years ago. My go to items are their carne asada fries. There's very few places that have pico de gallo in their carne asada. Usually it's sour cream, guacamole, cheese and meat. Their fries are actually way better now too. Crunchy and delicious. Their rolled tacos are tasty and actually inexpensive compared to Filiberto which is almost twice the price! The guy at the cashier is super friendly and helpful. It's still cash only but they do have an ATM inside.

Had breakfast burrito this morning. 2nd in line, ordered quickly and received burrito in 3 mins. Cashier was nice in our quick interaction. Cash only! There is an atm in the location Burrito was good! Filled me up, salsas were good on side. Green is dicey and my fav.

I love this place! A friend introduced me to it because she loves their breakfast burritos. We would drive from across town just to get one. I now live locally and it is one of my go to spots. The service is quick and easy to eat on site because they have plenty of indoor seating as well as a few tables out front. I usually grab mine to go enjoy on the beach, or sometimes take a break from the sun to enjoy indoors. They use the best tortillas for their burritos, so soft like a warm blanket of deliciousness! My favorite is the breakfast burrito with cheese, eggs, potatoes, add extra bacon. It's huge and the bacon is always cripsy. The habañero salsa is a must to pair it with. I've loved everything I've tried off the menu. I also cycle between the carnitas burrito and Cali burrito with added shrimp. The carnitas is perfectly crispy and juicy without too much fat/grease like some carnitas can be. I would pair that with the salsa verde to cut through the fattiness with some citrus. The carne asada in the Cali burrito has a nice flavor and texture, while the shrimp is plump, and the fries also crispy. The only downside is they are cash only. There is an ATM on site but I like to walk a couple doors down to the Target as their ATM doesn't charge me fees. Overall 11/10 recommend as a solid local Mexican joint!

If you're in the neighborhood and like Mexican food make sure to give Nico's a try. Clean place and friendly staff. Parking in the area is limited but if you want to have a delicious meal on the beach grab one of their burritos and you can walk down to the beach. They hubby had a carne asada, our son had a Cali No Pico Burrito and since we dined in I had their Beef Chimichanga Plate which was delicious! They're portions are big and generous and not skimpy like other taco shops so we will definitely be coming back whenever we're in the area again.

Nicos Mexican Seafood is super tiny place in Ocean Beach in San Diego. They serve fresh and flavorful Mexican food. It's right in the main street of OB. Their battered fish BURRITO is a must-try item on their menu. It huge and filling and plenty for the price. The restaurant has a casual and local vibe, and the cool location. Friendly staff and service too Downside: No pastor or Adobada Burritos available

Stopped in for a breakfast burrito and horchata before heading to the beach. There are a few tables inside and outside, plus counter seating along the perimeter of the dining area. The person working the counter was friendly. My burrito was large and stuffed with potatoes, eggs, bacon, and cheese. I added sour cream and salsa. For the price and amount of food you get, the burrito is a total win! Heads up, this place doesn't take credit cards but there's an ATM on site. Next time I'll have to try the California burrito.

I'm a huge fan of Nico's Mexican Food! I stopped by for lunch and decided to go with the California burrito. I've never had anything like it! The carne asada hit the spot and the guacamole was top notch. I loved the addition of the fries as well. Yum, I can still taste the burrito if I try hard enough. They had plenty of other options, but I'd go with the California, especially if you've never tried one before. I was just a bit sad because I wanted to try the horchata, but they didn't have any available. The restaurant itself is pretty casual. You just order at the counter, but be warned, it takes more than just a few minutes, so get comfortable! I would totally come back next time I'm in the area. Don't forget to enjoy your food at the beach!

Stopped by on a Monday morning and there was not a wait. We got two breakfast burritos with bacon and they were ready in 5-10 minutes. The tortillas were great! The burritos themselves didn't have a ton of flavor, but were yummy and great comfort food -- definitely load up on the salsas!
