Come for the bumpin' nightclub vibe, stay for the incredibly delicious crispy tacos. Don't miss the Pescado Taco and make sure to use the key words "Nick's Way". Read about it on WinstonWanders below! Read more
J KJanuary 16, 2017Every Tuesday, you can achieve the taco experience for $2 Tuesday, two for $5 Fridays, and bottomless mimosa Sundays! For $1.25, the pico de gallo and chips is probably the best value
Danielle EbsteinMarch 13, 2016Nicks tacos, nicks way! - great deal for SF - and get a pitcher to go along with it!
Jessica KarleMarch 5, 2014The tacos - Pescadoro and Carne Asada — they're bigger than normal corn tacos so you only need two at most. Get them Nick's way. Housemade chips and guac are also a good start.
Delicious bean and cheese burrito. Not many taquerias and taco places feature this item on their menu. Excellent service and very good food.
Claire FlemingSeptember 6, 2014If you want a burrito but refuse to stop raging with your bros, this is the perfect place. Go hard to typically-but-not-exclusively Pitbull while getting your burrito on, bro.
Laura CNovember 17, 2011Open during the day as it is operated out of a portion of a Night Club. The best tacos, crispy or regular with perfect guacamole, elote and melon juice. Tuesdays: $2 tacos/$10 pitchers!
Mark GeyerDecember 29, 2012Wondering what to get? Get a 'fish taco' (Nick's way) and the 'corn on the cob', done! It's all you'll need. Yummy stuff!
If you don't get it nick's way I don't know what's wrong with you. The nachos and quesadillas are super good too. They now deliver too!!!
Geoffroy BablonJuly 7, 2014Try the pescado burrito. Get it with guac, and sprinkle line on it. Deliciously crispy and refreshing.
Mike NadelmanMarch 26, 2012Too bad the founder sold out and lost a fortune. I like this place because it's close to my old hang outs in North Beach. The Crispy Tacos are good and I think the night life is excellent here.
Bret CoxAugust 13, 2014Portions are huge here, 2 tacos + chips = full belly. Nick's way with guacamole is great for steak and chicken dishes, not so great for fish and shrimp.
Michelle FaiermanAugust 24, 2017Everything taco MUST BE ORDERED "nicks way" and the elite is amazing
Yup, just like everyone says - the baja fish tacos are amazing. I don't even like fish that much, but I crave these! (with guac of course).
Rachel HowardOctober 18, 2013Vegetarian tacos are super tasty and Guacamole and pico are awesome! If I lived in San Francisco, I'd be a regular.
Alex DobyanOctober 29, 2017Taco Tuesday is a great deal, but the tacos themselves aren't very good. Great quesadillas, but it's also really hard to fuck that up.
Shirley LiuJanuary 8, 2015Def get your tacos Nick's way and try the corn at least once. Check in on Yelp for free chips and salsa.
Yaron SAugust 24, 2014Tasty and size size burritos and tacos. They don't skimp on the guac either. I'll definitely be back
Bring cash so you don't have to use the shady ATM. Be sure to order chips and guacamole to enjoy while you wait for your order.
Meliza AlvaDecember 4, 2014Order fish or shrimp tacos Nick's way and pitcher of margarita. It's the way to go!
Leah HessJune 6, 2018Went for Taco Tuesday, was a fun vibe around 8/9. Margs were super good but probably did not have alc.
Maya ShanmugamAugust 7, 2016Yes, the pescado taco nick's way is a must, the crispy tortilla is a nice added crunch.
catherineNovember 26, 2012Weekend brunch 10:30 - 3pmBottomless mimosas $7 per person with Nicks food purchase. [btw, be sure to get the tacos "Nicks way". Yum!]
Billy JacobsonMay 23, 2016This is such a bizarre place. It's a sports bar/lounge with a decent taco place in the back. Food is fine but I don't intend to go back
Adam BartlettJanuary 4, 2014The crispy taco (Nick's Way) was totally worth the extra dollar. Tacos are larger than they appear, I are three but would've been fine with two
Corinne and JonathanAugust 13, 2011If you are in town from the east coast, you have to eat as many tacos and burritos as you can. This place has some of the best tacos!
Vanessa V.July 30, 2014The reviews said the baja fish taco "nick's way" would be life changing, and it was.
Amy YFebruary 28, 2015This isn't authentic Mexican but the tacos are delectable nonetheless. I love the fish tacos
The horchata is delicious! Get it with no ice if you want more 😇
Fish tacos, nick's way. Elote (corn on the cob Mexican style). Margarita. It's the holy trinity.
Cheap and delicious. Pescado Nick's way is the only way to go.
Reynaldo CaacbayMay 21, 2015Order the pollo asado 'nick's way' and get a horchata while you're at it!
gregory nicholasApril 10, 2011Don't follow the previous 50 thousand plus tips about fish. Get some the special poppers, have some wild fun and beers.. Then eat food, perhaps jalapeño poppers!
Priya SaiprasadJanuary 8, 2013The $3 dollar margaritas win me over every time. I've definitely had better tacos though - but if you must, order the pescado taco
Ninah RandolphApril 5, 2017The carne asada taco was good. The fried fish tacos which were not very good. Too much batter on the fish and too much cabbage. Gets really crowded after about 6p. Cash only
Yes, the tacos are amazing (Nick's way, naturally). Do yourself a favor and give the steak quesadilla a try.
harryhNovember 30, 2013If you're paying in cash they're gonna hand you back coins as change. Amateur hour.
Bobby SabnaniMarch 11, 2013Get a (fried) fish taco Nick's Way and ask for the habanero sauce they keep behind the counter
Carlos MApril 30, 2012The best fish tacos! Order the elote too! Bunch of games on multiple tv's. Prices are fair
Taco Tuesdays are crazy. Line is insanely long and the place is packed. But it's a blast with happy hour specials and $2 tacos (not all kinds). Get there before 6 if you want to have any chance at get
$10 pitchers on Saturday afternoon! Any beer on tap! Are you serious! I'll be here every Saturday.
