Nico's is one of our favorite taco spots. It's always filled with customers, so make sure to grab a reservation and come early to find parking.It was national margarita day, so of course indulged! Loved my margarita and quickly pivoted to getting my favorite thing on the menu... the chips and salsa. Zona Rosa (orange) - the best sauce! Ordered a pint! Aguacate (green) - great for all tacos Chile de Arbol (red) - great for fish tacosI also ordered tacos which for some reason didn't give me as much joy this time, but still highly recommend.

I wish there was an option for 3.5 stars. This place is super cute inside. It was a nice spot to hang out and eat with friends, and it was convenient that they took reservations. Parking was easy on the street/in the back lot. The service was professional and friendly. Regarding the food, I'm from Southern California, so $6.50 per single taco didn't feel great. Though I'm also not sure if that's just typical for Minnesota. I ordered 2 of the bistek asado. The tacos were alright, but the chips and salsa appetizer (salsa trio?) were my favorite at the table. The tomatillo salsa was fantastic. The cheese dip was also pretty good. Not sure if I'll be back for the tacos, but would come back for the chips and salsa.

I always enjoy my time at Nico's on Como and this time was no different. Always very fresh ingredients and delicious food. When the weather is nice, you can set outside on the patio. Would recommend trying multiple salsas if you can! I think they give one salsa per taco order, so you can mix and match. Both were amazing!Need to return soon and check out the Christmas pop up while it's still decorated for the holidays!

The food was really delicious but it does come at a pretty steep price with $5-8 per taco. They aren't stingy with the meat so that is nice. I enjoyed the chorizo taco the most but all three were delicious. The margarita was super refreshing albeit being mostly ice but that's just how it is I guess. Out of the 3 salsas I like the salsa verde the most. The chili rojo did come out warm as promised which was really great but I just prefer a spicier salsa. The space was really nicely decorated with a warm ambiance that was a very stark contrast to the below freezing temperature outside. I'd for sure come here again to treat myself.

Great service, great food, great time spent!My friends and I had an amazing lunch here for my bachelorette party and we were impressed with our dishes and our top notch service.We started with chips and salsa with three of their homemade salsas: Zona Rosa, Verde Serrano, and the Pico De Gallo. I had the Enchilada with beef and it was savory, moist, and tender. I like spicy and the heat was just right. The rest of my party had Elote tacos: Camaron Asado, Pastor, Bistek Asado, and Chipotle Camaron. They all raved about how delicious and tasty their dishes were! We ended our meal with the Two Mini Churros that were decadently crispy!The ambiance was bright and energetic, but our server was the one that made our experience delightful. He was attentive, kind, and had a great since of humor. He created an enjoyable environment for me and my bridesmaids.Overall, we left satiated, satisfied, and in high spirits.

Nico's is one of my favorite casual neighborhood places. Loitering on a weekend afternoon and want a pick-me-up? Nico's garden patio. Want to meet some friends for a summer drink? Nico's front deck patio. Want to have a casual dinner with family, some of whom are picky eaters? Nico's interior space. I love Nico's.The chips, guac, salsa and queso are great starters for munching while having a drink. I usually get an assortment of tacos for my main course, because you can order singles to try a variety and also not order too many (or too few). The burritos, tostadas and tamales are also table-pleasers. Make sure you ask about their rotating margarita flavors- we have loved the blood orange ginger, the raspberry, the mango habanero, and the paloma cocktail. If you are a mezcal lover, they also have a nice selection (so I am told, haha).

Always my go-to for tacos! Cute, reasonably priced, and good drinks!Happy hour is 2-5 and also available on weekends. The tacos are great and everything on the menu is yummy. Get a couple tacos and make sure to try multiple. Highly recommend bistek asada or carnitas. I always get birria which I love. Recently tried the tostada which was delicious, but a little soggy. Still filled me up though, and a great price. Staff is very friendly and always willing to give a recommendation or two. I love the specials they have, whether it's restaurant week or happy hour or a fun holiday. Parking in the back lot and on the street. (Pictures are from multiple visits)

Decent taco / Mexican spot on Como with even more potential.To be fair, we ate all the chips... Part of the reason was, though, that the timing of service was sooooo slow. Ordered apps and then waited. Got chips but no drinks.... Eventually got drinks and ultimately had to go up to the host to get someone to take our order.Food was decent but bland.Had the octopus, fish and carnitas tacos. Octopus was so chopped up is was unrecognizable... fish was dry... and carnitas was saucy but bland. Best thing was the pumpkin seed salsa. So good.

Well, we decided to go to Nico's instead of Listo! after running some errands and also getting Nina the escape artist's claws clipped.It took a while for our waitress to come to our table after the guy who escorted us to our table brought us water. We ordered these tacos: Chorizo, Carnitas, and Barbacoa. Also ordered what are labeled as the two hottest salsas.So, for whatever reason, the tortillas aren't doubled on the tacos, so they're impossible to pick up to eat. We used our knifes and forks, which defeats the purpose of ordering tacos. The flavor of the tacos was ok. There was nothing special about them and the salsas weren't remotely hot at all. Mouths were barely warm even while eating the meal. The star of the show is the Queso Gringo with Chorizo. This was quite delicious and the tortilla chips were a perfect match. We were quite happy with this and would be the only reason for our return.In my opinion, just keep going down 280 and make it over to Listo!.
