We had heard good things about Nico’s Tacos from people in the neighborhood. A nicely decorated patio with ample shade and foliage. Attentive service. However, the food and drink was rather expensive. $5.50 for a basket of chips, which are normally free at other Mexican restaurants. $5 for elote, $13 for their standard lime margarita. 3% surcharge for using a credit card (which is just a part of doing business). On top of that, add 10% sales tax and the bill adds up quickly.

Great Mexican bistro near the Como area. The enchiladas and tacos were great. The Trio with queso, salsa. and guacamole was a great starter. The options of Tacos was great variety. The tacos de Lengua was amazingly tender tongue and one of the best I have had. The carnitas and barbacoa tacos were also very good. The red enchiladas were also delicious. The service was kinda lackluster but just due to short staff during busy lunch time, but server was engaging when came around.

Absolutely amazing service and great food!
My girlfriend and I drove quite a distance just to try their sopes — sadly, they didn’t have them that day, and she was genuinely so disappointed (almost in tears). But our server, Jack M, completely turned the experience around.
He said, “I’ll do everything I can to make up for it
and he truly did. Jack was incredibly kind, attentive, and just made us feel so welcomed. That kind of service sticks with you.✨
I ordered the carne asada and it was absolutely delicious — flavorful, juicy, and perfectly cooked. My friends had the flautas and loved them too.
The only thing I’d mention is the fish plate: one of my friends expected a fillet-style dish with rice and beans, but instead got something more like fish tacos with rice and beans. It tasted fine, but it wasn’t what she expected — unlike the carne asada, which is also a main dish and came as a proper plate, not tacos.
Still, we left full and happy, and we’d definitely come back again. Huge thanks again to Jack, you really made our night. Highly recommend this place for the flavor, great food, refreshing drinks, and solid alcoholic options. Totally worth the visit.

The greenway margarita is one of my fav margs in MN & come for just that usually. The guacamole & salsa flight are also really good. I prefer the St. Paul location though because it's usually less busy when we come & super cute!
Come during their Christmas drinks too in Minneapolis! Spectacular.

Supposedly mexican restaurant run by all white people. At the paycheck I realized they charged me for something I didn't order. Turns out my order was wrong from the begining. Bistek meat was dry, tortillas are poorly made. I can see now why there are not other latinos in this place. Definitely won't come again.

We sat outside and it was a great experience. Food was all great and the service was good too. All the food was very fresh and delicious. Was there for happy hour so had to get the Tres Leches cake which was very good. Place was very cute and drink were tasty too. If you are in the como area would recommend.

Prices here have been out of control for a while. They make good drinks but the food is hit and miss. I’ve also had very inconsistent service, sometimes it’s amazing and other times it feels like they forgot about you.
