Nicky's Mexican - Natchitoches

I am from a Texas border town. I know my Mexican food. Nicky's served good food. The service was outstanding and quick. The servings were large and the food was fresh and warm when served. Our server checked several times during the dinner to see if anything was needed. It was a nice dining experience. The restaurant and bathroom were clean.

Eat here. Everything we had was delicious, with generous portions. Everything we saw on other tables also looked delicious, but we didn 't share. -1 star for using the language barrier to upsell us on appetizers after we had already ordered. (We thought we were answering for condiments on the nachos, not ordering additional items.

Nice little restaurant just off the highway. Service was great! We stopped right at 5 so it really wasn’t busy. I had the fish tacos, although good, seemed like it was missing something. The taco was just a piece of grilled fish on a soft taco shell. No sauce or any other condiments. Came with your regular beans, rice and a guacamole salad.

The food at Nicky's is fresh and authentic. The nachos are wonderful. Get the chili rellenos with cheese. The street tacos will make you want to come back for more.

I absolutely adore Nicky's. It’s a staple in Natchitoches, and everyone I know has been dining there since I was a kid. However, I need to mention the quesadilla—it has been downsized to a smaller tortilla. While it's still delicious, the portion is significantly smaller. This won't keep me from visiting Nicky's, but it's a bit disappointing to see them fall into the "get less, pay the same" trend. Although their prices haven't increased as much as elsewhere, relatively speaking... Overall, I’d rate the food a solid 5!
