Nico's Taco and Tequila Bar

I really enjoy Nico’s. Their chips are fried first thing in the morning, so no risk of cross contamination. Great heritage corn tortillas and lots of GF taco options!

my experience was really good and my waiter was really helpful! the chips are in a shared fryer but he brought me out a bag of potato chips to dip in the quac, the quac was so good i really didn’t mind! i got the chipotle shrimp tacos on a corn tortilla and had no reaction and i’m very sensitive!

I went to the Nico’s on Como. I made the big mistake of not saying specifically that I had celiac at the beginning. I inquired about if the chips were corn, and she said yes. When I ordered my tacos, I then mentioned I had celiac and asked that she let the chefs know, which she said she would. But then a few minutes later, she came back to the table and apologized that she hadn’t realized I had celiac and said that the original chips were fried in a shared fryer. She had a new basket of chips that she said were celiac safe. At that point I had already eaten the first chips. This was my fault and not hers, but just know you need to ask for special chips. The food was otherwise good. I don’t have severe reactions from being glutened, and felt okay the next day.

The food was decent, and did have a few gf options. Unfortunately had a horrible time with the waitress. After the food was served, the waitress didn’t check in on us for over a 1/2 hour and when she did come to check in, she told us that she forgot about us... Decent food, but not worth it with the crummy staff.

Tacos (w/Corn tortillas) and Enchiladas with 7 different options for insides. The Tamales are the best that I have eaten since my Grandma Bea made them when I was a kid! The Tocino Guac is glorious with real bacon on top! For GF no chips but we get fresh cut veggies to scoop. One of my favorite spots for a snack, dinner, lunch and of corse the Tequila!!!
