Open air and massive! My first time dining in Alameda after the popular brewery and enjoyed the vibe. Servers were super cheerful and friendly and made good recommendations.
On the whole, pretty good presentation and flavors for the food with a wide range of tequila to choose from.
Some recommendations for the business: the guac could be better and they should up their salsa game. The chicken in the tacos could benefit from another cut, bit too chunky.

Great place for drinks and appetizers, but food is lackluster in taste, and unfortunately overpriced. They have also removed the QR code ordering in check out but have not supplemented that with staff to support the decision. It unfortunately left us waiting… and waiting to close out.

Delicious food and drinks. We got the Carajillo and Torementas Tropicales during happy which we both super unique and strong. For food we tried the esquite for an appetizer, and the quesabirria and Baja California fish tacos. Everything was 10/10. Super tasty and super authentic. I would come again.

Great tequila selection! We never make reservations and always get sat pretty quickly. Even if it’s busy. Love the vibe here. The bar is great. The food is super tasty. It’s all outdoors which is awesome and different. Parking kinda sucks across the way in a dirt lot but at least there’s security watching the cars. I’ve been here a handful of times. Never disappointed! Staff is great too!!

If there’s one thing Nido’s Backyard excels in, it’s their backyard, where all of the dining tables are spread across a sprawling area shaded from the Cali sun by all sorts and sizes of umbrellas. It’s a colorful outdoor environment that encourages you to enjoy the warm weather as you wait for your meal and linger in the cool evening long after you’ve finished your food. The service was excellent—our waiter was friendly and helpful in terms of providing a wealth of information about the dishes and their ingredients. My wife and I started with the Papas Pasadas from the ‘Small Bites’ section of the menu. These were lightly fried Yukon potatoes that packed a flavorful, smokey punch each time you bit into one. Knowing that I was plant-based, our waiter offered to swap out the kefir crema for cashew crema. This dish was definitely addictive. For entrees, I had the vegan version of the Quesadilla de Calabacitas y Flor de Calabaza—a lightly cooked corn tortilla folded over a mixture of seasonal veggies and served with a side of a zesty, salsa roja. I also had the Verduras Rostizatas taco plate—two uncooked corn tortillas filled with roasted veggies, including beats and eggplant, each topped with a generous slice of avocado and a sprinkling of fresh pumpkin seeds, with a side of refried black beans and rice. My wife had the Carne Asada taco plate—grilled steak, pico de Gallo, and caramelized onions—which she enjoyed. Although not the quality of truly authentic Mexican cuisine, Nido’s offerings were innovative and tasty.

For lunch my wife enjoyed the Caldo Tlalpeno and the carne asada tacos for me. We ended the meal sharing a slice of the tres leches cake.

Ordered the steak and fish tacos. They were both delicious but the fish was much bigger than expected. I also got the habanero sauce on the side and it paired well with everything! The drinks are very strong so take it easy 😜
