I've eaten here numerous times prior, all without incident, unfortunately that positive streak has quickly ended. Immediately upon entry while attempting to read the menu board the older "gentleman" at the register was noticably annoyed that l didn't have the menu committed to memory. While attempting to read the menu board the entire staff is loudly speaking in Spanish directly behind the register, this interaction makes communication with the cashier difficult. Additionally one female employee is clearly visible, she's eating a plate of food from the kitchen food prep area just inside the kitchen. No one is wearing food safety gloves. I ordered the #3 plate, consisting of x2 shredded beef tacos, rice and beans. Additionally l clearly ordered a medium soft drink. Upon review of the order the older guy leaves off my drink. When I correct him over it he becomes further annoyed with my presence on planet Earth. I found it extremely rude to continue having a conversation with other staff members in Spanish while attempting to take my order and then having an attitude when my order wasn't taken correctly due entirely to his inability to multitask. I paid with my debit card and had to ask for the receipt. The guy then without speaking simply points to the stack of cups indicating that self serve is truly self serve at this establishment. I fill my soda and the food is instantly presented. The tacos are deep fried and the lag time from ordering to presentation is incredibly short, as a result they are heavily oil soaked. They were clearly never allowed to drain. All tables while bused were visibly dirty. Indicating that they were never wiped down. I found my food good but beyond EXCESSIVELY grease soaked. I'm sensitive to grease and would later have stomach issues all day, left feeling uncomfortable and l attribute this to the excessive grease remaining within the tacos upon presentation. Upon sitting at a table, l wiped down my own table removing dried lettuce from it. All of tables were clearly unclean. I tipped my tacos in the plate to facilitate frying oil drainage but it helped little. I found the rice good and the beans exceptionally delicious. I found $18.44 out the door excessively high for what l received. I get cost have risen but there are serious GREED-FLATION factors obviously at play here. The food simply isn't remotely worth what is charged. In closing, l found this establishment overpriced and under performing. I found the staff dismissive and condescending. Clearly they have zero pride in themselves and their food, and zero shame in what they pawn off as acceptable. They operate as if little to no effort is above and beyond. I wasn't expecting perfection but for $18.44 I did expect their best effort at which they clearly failed. This is not an establishment that I'll be returning to. It's not a warm inviting atmosphere where I felt welcomed and I truly never felt valued as a guest. This is not an establishment that I can ever recommend visiting.

went to the branch in La Canada & Naranja. I always order the Nachos Supreme. 3X I went lately I notice the price went up, the portion got smaller and to make matters worse the Nachos on my nachos supreme are stale. They used to heat it up and serve warm. this one looks and taste like it came from a bag. Did the management change on Nikos? they seem declining, I tried to talk to the lady at the counter about my concern she just stare at me like she didn't understand me. but when i ordered of course she knows what i want. hmmm won't be back again after so many years of patronizing them.

It's not real Mexican food that you're normally used to eating in Mexico....it's Mexican food for Americans (in a nutshell).
