Nico's Mexican Food

Nico’s is always worth a stop if you’re in Ocean Beach. Their food is delicious and so full of flavor. The Carne Asada burrito is huge. Probably enough for two meals for most people. The meat in the burrito is well seasoned and blends really well with the pico de gallo, which is always fresh! The Beef Rolled Tacos are a great meal by itself. The tacos are large and are served with large portions of cheese and guacamole. I added sour cream to mine.

My boyfriend and I, while visiting from Baltimore, tried this place after a local we met at a bar recommended it for breakfast. It did not disappoint. Don't question yourself with the menu — you want the California burrito. Trust me. In addition to your protein of choice (I went with carne asada), the California is filled with cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and fries. I can't imagine a better hangover food (though it also hit the spot one morning sans hangover). The rest of the burritos don't quite have the balance this one does. Bring cash — it's cash only — and prepare yourself for a big breakfast, because this bad boy is huge. I was proud of myself for getting through half. Service is wonderful and fast. Salsas are fantastic.

I had two California burritos, both were the best I've had in San Diego. I'm not a connoisseur but they seem to do it right, achieving a great level of moistness and crunch. My second one i got with carnitas instead of carne asada, which to me was an improvement. Lovely people nice vibe good quick food. Try the orange salsa if you can handle a spicy punch! Also the picked carrots are lovely.

A small Mexican joint that’s graced Newport Avenue in Ocean Beach for years, Nico’s is a San Diego establishment. They offer solid burritos here that are consistent in quality and size. The California is one of the best in town. They also have a great selection of enchiladas and tostadas. Come hungry because their portions are generous. Be sure to get a handful of red salsas. Take your order down to the boardwalk and have a top tier Mexican lunch while watching the surf.
