   The service was excellent. Food was outstanding — I had the Enchiladas Divorciadas (chicken mole enchilada and cheese enchilada with poblano sauce). Excellent dish! Their chips rock (hard to stop eating them). Only “objection” was the amount of ice in my margarita, but my wife reminded me that no matter what, I was getting only one shot of tequila, so it didn’t matter how much ice was in the glass. Great experience, again — We’ll definitely be going back!

   We had the most amazing experience tonight! Our waiter Chandler was the best I’ve had in years. He served our table of nine with such attentiveness and great energy and great suggestions. The food was phenomenal. Highlights were the El jefe burrito, carnitas, Birria, and wow, the drinks, especially the Slushy coconut margarita. And the Cadillac marg. Basically everything totally amazing and a memorable evening for all of us. Thank you so much!

   We ordered shrimp taquito appetizer , which was delicious. I had market fish tacos ( mahi mahi ) which were okay . I probably wouldn’t order it again. My friend ordered jumbo shrimp diablo plate and it was very very salty . She ate 2 shrimps and left the rest. We didn’t bother telling the waitress because we were limited on time and didn’t want to send our food back to wait for another plate.

   Great food and nice location. Service was good. A little noisy for my friend with a hearing-aid but the rest of us got by fine

   It's clear that Nick's trains their staff very carefully before they host customers. They are all very friendly and efficient. Ther manager circulates making sure everyone is happy while dining.
