Nicha's Comida Mexicana - Southside

22 Oct 2024We went and early voted at the Mission Library. Afterwards, we went to Nicha's just across the street.It was pretty crowded at 1:15pm, but we were seated right away. Larger area than it looks like from the outside. The menu is pretty complete with tacos, enchiladas, carnitas, fajitas, burritos and more. We were also given a breakfast menu. The bar looks pretty complete. A margarita delivered to a table next to us looked frosty and delicious. Speaking of frosty, bottled beer comes with a frosted mug. Yum. I had a lunch special for $9.99, two enchiladas rancheros with refried or charro beans, rice and tortillas. The server told me that after 3pm this plate does not come with tortillas. The husband had pork carnitas with rice and black beans. He opted for corn tortillas. I had flour. Both good. My plate was delicious and the husband scarfed his. The salsa served with the chips is on the hot side with plenty of flavor. Our server Yuliana was very nice and helpful, checking on us periodically. A great experience. Go there.

Well since San Antonio has a lot of Tex mex I just randomly looked on Google the nearest Mexican restaurant. I didn't want to eat anything too heavy like a fajita and I was leaning more towards Street food and that's more Mexican which is tacos. They said popped up and I just took it for dining in as a chance. It was okay the service was fast. Typical that they use fresh salsa and chips and I had their famous street tacos. I was expecting a lot more meat but I guess for $13.99 since I thought everything was bigger in Texas and the way the picture looked in the menu did not seem to look like it matched what I actually got with my own order. Ambience was very busy and traditional for Tex-Mex with their decor. I was really craving for dessert and for the dessert actually made up for the main dish which I had the Sopapillas. It's almost like a light Bengeit. I was going to go for the churros and ice cream because the other choice but the server Jacob recommended this. All in all it was decent but not the best that's the 4 stars. I would come back but I didn't have a Hardy appetite

We order from here many times. I love the combo of soup, crispy taco, and chicken flauta which comes with chips for the soup along with a serving of lettuce, tomato and guacamole. For only 13.74 when ordered on (door dash). The sopaipilla were delicious and hot we ordered 3 and found out it comes in the size of pizza boxes so we had a huge serving. Nurses in the nurses station with sweets are happy nurses!!!

I've come to nichas for years. This is one spot that has always been a favorite of mine and my family's. Unfortunately, as time has gone on, they service went down and the prices went up. The food quality is not it anymore. Stale chips,cold food,shotty service. It's so sad to see this place go downhill because it used to be my most favorite place to go with my whole extended family.

Unsure why this place is so highly rated. Maybe it's an SA staple? Idk. The pros first. Place is nice inside, clean. They have tumblers you can purchase which comes with refills for drinks at a lower price. Cons. I was not impressed with the pork carnitas. More than half were all just fat with no meat. They did try and make it right though so they get props for that. Didn't help though as what was brought out was just as fatty. BUT, while I waited for a new batch of the carnitas the rest of the food got cold. The street tacos got no complaints. I did not taste them. I maybe would try it again one more time but definitely not get anything with pork.

Upon local recommendation, we cruised over to Nicha's. The service was super fast (we were on a time crunch) and the salsa and queso were worth the trek! Homemade tortillas, yes, please!!I shared the street tacos, they serve 5 but once you take all the fat out you have enough for four. I like my meat sautéed this looked a bit boiled (but don't quote me on that). Needless to say, I won't get those again but would come back for the salsa!!

Ordered to go Tortilla soup with flauta & taco combo. Online menu says $7.49. I was charged $12.49. Change your menu or advise people when they order!! $5 is a lot for some people!! Not a positive way of doing business! Will not return!!

If you're ever on the south side of town, you must visit Nicha's! The waitress was friendly, polite, and quick. The food was delicious! The flour tortillas were definitely homemade and Charro beans were so tasty. The music and the surroundings cheerful and relaxing.

We were there Monday, Jan. 27, 2025, around 12:30 pm. They were busy, but we were easily seated. There is a lot of seating inside. The service was great & fast. The food was hot & very tasty. We both had the Three Tacos with beans & rice. We should have gotten the lunch special of just 2 tacos with rice & beans as our meal was a lot for a lunch meal. But, of course we ate it. It was a very clean restaurant & all staff were on top of sanitation practices. A+ We would highly recommend this restaurant.

Great Mexican food with the best flour tortillas. Beans and rice actually everything was delicious. The music was great it was like being in Mexican restaurant in Mexico. The service was amazing.
