I got a delicious bean, cheese, rice, and onion burrito . They are huge! It's cash only, just fyi...! Holy moly, their habanero sauce is super fricken hot but soo yummy! I live a block from this place. I can't wait to explore more stuff on the menu. Oh, and the service was great. The food came out very fast.

My breakfast burrito looked nothing like the pictures. It was skimpy on the portions inside. It tasted good, but not worth $9. A couple bucks less, sure. Good tortilla and go easy on the habanero salsa, which is a flame thrower.

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 tooDownside: No pastor or Adobada Burritos available

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.

California burrito is life changing. Green salsa and habanero salsas are great. Massive burrito yet somehow perfectly balanced.

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!

Breakfast burrito was good, but lacking a bit of flavor. The salsa options were great but definitely missing something. 6.5/10, I won't not get it again but won't go out of my way for it.

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!

Service was friendly and fast. Restaurant was clean and welcoming. I ordered the breakfast burrito my girlfriend got the machaca burrito.I really enjoyed my burrito there was bacon cheese and potatoes, in every bite. The size was perfect not too big that it weighs you down early in the morning and I loved the choices of hot sauces. If I am ever in the area I would definitely come back.My girlfriend loved her machaca burrito she liked how the eggs were huevo en torta style instead of scrambled. She enjoyed how spicy the hot sauces were. She agrees she would definitely come back.

This place is the best. Great staff, amazing food. Breakfast lunch or dinner. If you have a self induced headache, their California burrito will cure you.
