Pretty good neighborhood mexican spot. The beef tacos and spinach quesadilla are some favorites. Service is usually good but there's been days where they fall short. The owner is great! Good place for drinks.

I'm only giving El Nibble Nook any starts because of the service. She was efficient, knew the menu perfectly and was attentive. Nothing about the food resembled anything related to the vicinity of Mexico. Not even Tex-Mex. Not even Taco Bell. The flavors are definitely American / Italian / . No Mexican seasonings were harmed in the making of the food here. The ambiance is faux South American and freezing cold. Just no.

Hi came here with some friends because of their glowing recommendations. There's quite a bit of seating inside and it was a nice place to enjoy a meal with people and chat.Our waitress kept bringing out new chips and salsa even though the menu said only the first basket was on the house, which was nice! The chips were homemade and I believe the salsa is too.I ordered enchiladas for my entree: there was good flavor in both the beef and chicken. The meat tasted fresh and I appreciated that they used corn tortilla for these. On the downside, the chicken was a little dry. I also would have liked more enchilada sauce on top. It came with refried beans, which were okay. They're not my favorite to begin with, but they were better than other refried beans I've had at other restaurants. It also came with rice: I liked that they had tomato mixed throughout.This is the quintessential Mexican American place. I was on the fence between 3 and 4 stars, but based on my experience, the food overall, and the reasonable prices, I'm rounding up to 4. I'd definitely come back!

The food was mad good, on hood. The hot sauce was a lil bit hot would not recommend unless you would like to be screaming on the floor of El nibble nook on a little girls birthday covered in milk, other than that the california burrito is goooooodd

This is a neighborhood spot I see alllll the time the time and finally got around to checking out! It's very dark in here but festively decorated. Service was prompt and super friendly. I ordered the nachos madres churros for an appetizer which is pretty much bacon and cheese nachos. My companion and I were trying to figure out why they have churros in the name because nothing is churro about the dish! They were delicious though, super crispy, hot and cheesy. I had to make myself stop eating them so I could eat some of my food . For my entree I got the chicken enchiladas, these were superb. The chicken was seasoned very well and the dish hot and cheesy. The rice and beans that came with the dish were subpar though, especially the beans. They tasted and looked like they came straight out a can...no doctoring up or anything. I also had two strawberry margaritas. We initially requested non-frozen for our first round...and they bought frozen. We drank them though! And they were really good, they tasted like they used real strawberries when making them. Our second round we again ordered non-frozen strawberry margaritas and that's what we got. I was surprised to see they came in a different/smaller glass but man oh man...we did NOT need anything bigger. Those were strong!! They were very good also but tasted like they were made from a premade mix. They also give you one free round of chips and salsa when you sit down but additional ones cost

Robin was friendly. I ordered meat and cheese enchiladas. The cheese was melted but the filling was cold. Mild sauce didn't have a kick to it. Rice had chunks of what could have been ham but I couldn't tell. It was so dark that customers used cell phones to read menu. I like to see what I'm eating. Bar area was lite more so than restaurant area.

Stopped in to try this old friend. I went there years ago I think in a different location. I still remember their taco Tinga con .crema. Food was good and service friendly but quite slow. We were there at 4:30 so they weren't overwhelmed. I might go back again and try something new

First and last time coming here - Came in with a large party which they accommodated. Ordered shrimp fajitas and the waitress came back saying they only had enough shrimp for one and we had ordered 3. Ordered steak instead - steak was cooked the way I ordered it but the whole dish was greasy. Didn't eat anything except the steak off the plate and that was only because I was hungry. They didn't charge me for the dish since there was an issue but I won't be back. Food was blah and the manager did not handle the issues well. At one point he said "it is what it is" and said I won't be giving anyone a discount for not having shrimp. I walked away at that point so I'm not sure exactly what was said. He did end up taking $5 off everyone's entree and didn't charge 2 people for their food since we had to order something different because of being out of shrimp.

Quite possibly the best Mexican food in the world. That's the truth. This is coming from a guy who lived in San Diego for 25 years where there is Mexican food everywhere. I have eaten in Mexico all over the mainland and Baja, eaten in South America and Central America. The ingredients, the recipes, the taste, texture, it is good quality food. Great flavors. Great taste. Wonderful portions. There's a reason they've been in business so long.
