“ More than just a place where my husband got his drunk food in college - actually pretty decent! I got the carne asada quesadilla and it was enormous! My husband got a chorizo breakfast burrito, a carne asada breakfast burrito and a California burrito. We also got a churro. It was really good! Great service. When you pull up, don’t judge a book by its cover, very good! ”
“ Good food. Everybody’s cutting back on the egg quanity now because they’re so expensive. ”
“ Love me that Nico's! Love especially the breakfast burrito. But nothing on that menu is off limits for me. The staff is friendly. It has a child friendly atmosphere. The food came quickly and was absolutely delicious. It was more food than I could eat so my sister and I split a breakfast burrito. They serve breakfast all day. It was clean and neat in there and the staff worked efficiently ”
