Angel Beltran our waiter was extremely friendly and professional. A very likeable fellow. The food was excellent. The mariachi was great. First time there from Corpus Christi. We'll be back for sure. Loved the experience.

Our server Carolina was excellent! Very attentive! The food was good, w/ good portion sizes. Half our family ordered breakfast, other half ordered lunch. The flour tortillas were hot & delicious! Booth tables are small though, fits 4 people, snug. Restrooms were nice & clean. Overall, we would return. Thank you!

This was our first time here and we WILL be coming here frequently! Daisi was a great server and the food was excellent. Authentic home style. Daisi made sure to share specials and take great care of us. Thank you!

Great food all around. I got the shredded chicken puffy tacos with charro beans and rice, my daughter got the chicken flautas, and my husband got the chicken alambre! Everything was soooo delicious especially the chicken Alambre We will be coming back and I'll be ordering that next time!

First timer to Nincha’s. Food was great. My fave prt is Josie was excellent. Sweet lady. Efficient/freindly/helpful. There may be plenty of Mexican restaurant but having great customer service is what keeps my business. Thanks Josie! My husband was impressed with food and your service as well.

The buffet and omelet station do not flow well. You have to walk past the hostess station each time. Otherwise buffet experience is good.

Nancy Talamantez

Daisy was wonderful. Excellent service. Love it. I've loved eating here since it was Minit Taco on the southside. Food is consistently delicious.

Katie Kennedy

I have loved this location for a long time. The margaritas are the best and the food is pretty good too. I get Dad's plate and my hubby gets the Chile relleno. The beef fajita melts in your mouth! The mariachi add a bit of loveliness and will take requests for a price. Tip your waiter and tip them too. They are very good!

Maggie Guerrero

I ordered the Beef Fajitas & my mom Enchiladas w/ tomatillos sauce- My beef was so tender & juicy- my mom loved her food & I have to be honest it’s hard to please her:) whew! She said she loved the food:) The waiter was very attentive. I did ask about the tortillas before my food arrived, I’ve noticed different Mexican Rest.are making their tortillas & changing the recipe- thin, smaller & gooey. He said no our Tortillas are the best & we make them fresh. He was not lying! This Rest is very clean & environment is friendly. Thank you Ninchas for making my Experience with mom fun & tummy’s Happy. Oh I ordered my mom Tres Leches- she was so happy with her cake.

My family ate here around 12 PM on a Friday. It was quite busy with what looked like 4 servers on the floor. So they were short staffed, but our server Josie S. was on top of it! She was great! The kitchen forgot to put a cherry on my ice cream, and she came in clutch with a 6 oz cup of cherries!!

Jason Hernandez

I had the best experience at Nicha’s thanks to Josie S.! She was absolutely amazing friendly, attentive, and on top of everything from start to finish. You can tell she genuinely cares about her guests and takes pride in what she does. She made great recommendations and checked in just enough without ever hovering. That kind of service is rare these days! Josie deserves major credit for making my visit such an enjoyable one. I’ll definitely be back and will be asking for her again!

Renata Zayas

There is nothing negative to say about Nicha’s! The atmosphere, food and service are great! The complimentary chips and salsa are always great. We’ve had nearly everything on the menu and everything is delicious! My favorite are the fajita nachos and empanadas! Well I could go on and on about the food! I want to point out one waitress that is always in a good mood, is very attentive and our order is always perfect! That waitress is Daisy (the 410 location). Thank you for your great service, always!! We can’t get enough of Nichas! We’ve been customers since they opened in 1977! We move to Waco and we would make the drive to San Antonio just to have some of Nicha’s Tradition!

Dale Reeves

Niches is an awesome place to eat. The food is excellent, prices are very fair, and our server Daysi was exceptional in every way. Make this your spot!

Ro Garanzuay

Enchilada plate was on point as always! Food came out hot...a must for me. But the charro beans stood out! Delicious and full of flavor. Excellent service from the young lady.❤️ Thank you, Nicha's!!! I'LL BE BACK!!! Respectfully, Ro Garanzuay🙏🇺🇲❤️😋

Great experience we had plenty of choices to choose from with the breakfast buffet they offer a build your own omelette station and plenty of food however my experience with the service was a little slow and the chilly container she served us was old and dirty I did see the staff working hard to keep up with the breakfast line cleaning and changing the pans which was good.

Let me start off by saying that the atmosphere is amazing. It reminded me of visiting my family in Monterry when I was younger. Saltillo tile, all sorts of mexican details everywhere, a great ambiance. Note to the manager: Look at the photo of my order. Is this the quantiy, quality and presentation that clients should expect for this dish? The quality of food has always been good. No issue there. I've had the menudo + corn tortillas for breakfast which is when we go most of the time. Recently, we visited for lunch. I had the fajita nachos, my wife had the migas plate and our guest had a chicken tortilla soup.The thing I took issue with was with the price vs portion size on my order of fajita nachos. Unfortunately they missed the mark when it comes to the presentation and portion size of my order. I can appreciate that the price of beef is expensive, but there was only a thin layer of refried beans on the 12 tortilla chips served to me. On top of that it seems the order was left too long in the salamander or whatever they use to broil the dish because the tortilla chips were brown and tasted just shy of burned or over-done. I've never ordered nachos at this price-point and only gotten 12 tortilla chips. LITERALLY every other places I've ordered (and I know Tex-Mex food, I'm from the Rio Grande Valley) nachos at comes with a plate FULLY layered with tortilla chips. The chips are layered with refried beans and a layer of melted cheese on top and finally, fajita slices/pieces on top of that. NUTSHELL: For the price I paid ($15.99), I expected more chips and beans. I can understand the portion of fajita given the current pricing of beef, but tortilla chips, cheese and beans are low-cost items. In addition to that, the presentation was messy. The plate looked like someone had already eaten off of it. I sincerely hope this was an "outlier" experience and next time we go (if we choose to), the portion will be better. Fill the ENTIRE plate with chips beans, cheese and then place the fajita pieces on top of that. I've given the food 2 stars due to the portion and presentation. See photo for referemce. It was taken as soon as they brought it, un-touched.

MUST READ BEFORE EATING HERE!! Last night was my first time ever eating at Nichas with my Family. We love Tex Mex so this Place was a natural Curiosity! As soon as we walked in! The Music and Atmosphere was incredible! Our Waiter Angel was Spot on! He was an Absolute champ! The bar drinks we ordered were well made and had a fun presentation and the Free Chips/ Salsa were very solid! HOWEVER!! this were the well deserved criticisms must come in. For reference we ordered Pollo with Ranchero, the Mexican Plate, Crispy Taco Plate, Beef Fajita Nachos, Queso Flamo, as the Tampiquena Plate. They were all cooked and plated properly but bro!!!! Do not get me going on the Taste! Like what in the late night leftover Taco Bell did i just put into my mouth?!? The Fajitas were extraordinarily bland. The Cheese filling inside and on top of the Enchiladas were basically Kraft American Cheese, the Encho sauce was flavorless and was more similar to thick brown water, the reFried Beans/ rice were dry, the Charra Beans were totally not it. The only saving grace for the beans were the black beans.. those were respectable and had good flavor. The Beef Picadillo felt and tasted like flavorless mush. My Ranchero on my Pollo was epically bland… Were was the Savory Kick and Heat! Bruh.. 🤦🏻‍♂️. However the Chicken breast did stand on its own and was cooked well apart from the lackluster ranchero/ cheese toping. The Crispy Tacos 🌮were Fine, but nothing memorable. The Steak was cooked as requested and was okay (not horrible but not mouth water by any stretch) for a place not specialized or known for Steaks. 🥩 Overall i would 100% come here exclusively for bar drinks / appetizers. I can forgive mediocre service, lackluster service, and even a not so perfect atmosphere… but the FOOD must always be ON POINT! It is the Only reason why i want to spend a premium over cooking meals myself. I can not forgive bad food. So sadly and with a heavy heart that I can not and will not recommend this restaurant as a Go to Tex Mex Spot for Families / Parties who are seeking The best TEX MEX food that South Texas has to offer. 4/10 I do not Recommend!

We came hoping to find some good Mexican breakfast. The ratings looked good but the food was horrible!! Taco cabana has better food than this. It was so disgusting! 🤢 The barbacoa tasted nasty and had no seasoning. I tasted like it was weeks old. I took one bite and that was it. The beans were bad too. My daughter said the chorizo and eggs were dry and not good. The tortillas were okay but that was about it. You can throw a rock and find some great Mexican food in San Antonio so I was not expecting this experience. I don’t understand why it has so many good ratings. I won’t be back. 🤮

Typically this is my go-to for breakfast/dinner/outting with friends, tonight was just straight pittiful. The enchiladas were half the length m, little to no cheese in both of them, the beans were dry and cracked when I received them and the tomatos on the chalupa and puffy taco tasted rancid. My husband asked for no tomatos on his food and was greeted with tomatos (he has an allergy to them, so to pick them off isn't an option). When he told the waitress about the tomatos being present she just said "Well do you want it with out the tomatos or don't want it all??" With a annoyed look on her face. At that point my husband just told her to take it back. After this all 4 of us needed tea, cups sitting at the end of the table for about 20-30minutes. We didn't even see her come back out. We sat and waited, my husband had to stop her and ask for the check and she came back with the check and asked if we wanted teas to-go. My friend stated "not if it's going to take another 20 minutes", in honesty she was rude the entire duration of our visit. Refilled our teas once each. Took long on small requests that were not as important but still took a inconsiderable amount of time. At the end when I was ready to pay she was no where to be found! I stood there at the table while my family went to the car and waited while I waited and wlaked to look for her, another gentleman was nice enough to offer to cash me out but I asked for a manager in the meanwhile and he came out and all he did was call for my waitress and pointed to me. I wanted to speak with him about what happened, when explaining this man kept interrupting me and had ZERO intentions of listening to me. Gave me a look as just a woman complaining, with that being said after forcing my words to him and his blank stare his response was "yeah, okay. I need to talk to that one" no sorry or anything. That's it. I am very upset with the experience we had, considering I brought my friends to try it for their first time and for it to go like this? Horrible. I will not be returning to this location. Bad days happen but not like that.
