Bar Nico is a renowned restaurant that offers a delectable gluten-free menu and exceptional service. The menu features popular dishes such as guacamole, pork tacos, chicken tostadas, sweet potato tacos, shrimp tacos, patatas fritas, and churros. Customers have praised the authentic flavors of the food, with a Mexican customer particularly impressed. While some items may be considered slightly pricey, the quality of dishes like duck carnitas, duck mole enchiladas, and striped bass crudo has been widely appreciated. The homemade guacamole, chocolate tamal, and coconut rice pudding have also received positive feedback.
Customers have described Bar Nico as a "cute place" with a "beachy, SoCal vibe," and the servers as "nice, friendly, and efficient." The restaurant offers a variety of beverages, including a "white Sangria" that some found to have a "pleasant sourness." Customers have enjoyed the Queso Fundido, made with what appears to be goat cheese, and the corn-flavored tortillas, though one customer had some issues with the pico de gallo containing ingredients they were allergic to. Overall, customers have been very satisfied with the food and service at Bar Nico and have expressed a desire to return.
