Nicha’s Comida Mexicana

Great food & Excellent margaritas. The best place for margaritas in San Antonio! Definitely worth a try and it’s near mission San Jose, if you’re in area sight seeing.

This is an outstanding place to eat! This is real Tex-​Mex food. There are no short cuts here. Brought my son-​in law’s family here, they loved it. My wife and me eat here once a week.

If you’re a tourist– skip the fake stuff on river walk and head to the south side for the best text mex. Love this place. Been loyal to it for years. Just realized it’s pretty much the only Mexican restaurant I go to. Margaritas are strong and so good. The cheese is perfect so anything with cheese is a good choice. My favorites are the la bandera plate and the fajita fiesta, pair it with a chamango margarita and you have the perfect Friday night in San Antonio.

Fajitas are fantastic, well-​decorated and well-​priced, with the staff quite friendly. Highly recommend the horchata to drink!

Spicy hot sauce… Great fish tacos and beef tacos. Best thing was it has a bike rack. Yea! A place for use to park.

Just really good Mexican food! My favorite thing about this place is a frozen mixed drink with Chamoy as the main ingredient. I forgot what it was called but it is delicious!

I would have given this place 1 stars but the margarita was worth 2 on its own. Food was fair at best margarita was good service was not nearly as good as the margarita in fact it was right down bad. Big red margarita it’s worth the trip from San Antonio but we asked for sugar rim we got salt never got refills on ice tea I would suggest they hire staff that know how to smile.

Wow really impressed. Food is good. Prices are cheap. My water and fish tacos were 10 bucks. Their drinks look really good.
Our foodserver Richard rocked! At the Southside location. I will definitely be back to try other plates. Tortillas are homemade, flour and corn.

I’m not much of a reviewer… but I give credit when it’s due. Nicha’s is located on the Southside of San Antonio close to the newly designated UNESCO World Heritage sites the San Antonio Mission and across the street from the Mission Drive-​In Theater. Nicha’s, a family owned business that prides itself on homemade Mexican Comida serves up a variety of traditional Tex-​mex dishes and has a healthy offering of adult beverages. Supporting its neighborhood beverage, Big Red, Nicha’s offers Big Red margaritas topped off with a sugary rim. For starters, the recommendation would be the Queso. This queso should be recognized by the San Antonio community as BEST in class. It is by far the cheesiest most addictive queso I have ever had… and I am a big queso lover. Set yourself up for an entrée of Dad’s Plate or the grilled chicken boob with tomatillo sauce these dishes will not disappoint! Thanks to the friendly staff for the warm welcome and the smiling faces, I WILL be back.

The good:
The carne guisada was very good and tender, the rice and beans were very flavorful and the chips and salsa were also good.
The bad:
We were neither greeted or even acknowledged when we first entered the restaurant which to me is a major mistake.
The cheese enchiladas were horrible, I don’t know what the cheese is that they used in the enchiladas but it tasted a lot like Velveeta which is a big no no, I mean why would you do that? Now if you used the cheese from the bean and cheese tacos in the enchiladas and use the gravy from the carne guisada on top, you would have some awesome enchiladas
Overall not bad but not good either, I am willing to return and try something else just not those enchiladas

Great service and great food and drinks. Got the dads plate. Enchiladas was awesome. Very flavorful. Home made tortillas was spot on. Very reasonable price. Had the margarita with dos Equis on top. Very awesome. Should of came here and not the original. Will be back when I am back in town.

One of the best enchiladas in town! The service is great. I love hanging out with friends and family at this place. Great atmosphere!

was expecting more but was average for me. ordered the chicken mole lunch special. the portion was a lot w rice and beans but the mole wasn’t as tasty as other places i’ve been to. the service started out great then petered out at the end. the lemonade was yummy. parking was a pain since i didn’t know about the lot across the street.

The fried burrito is the best! We are planning to go back again. Service was awesome! They even sang me a birthday song and I got free birthday pastries! Our waitress was on pint and very attentive. Husband’s coworker recommended the place and we were not disappointed at all. This will be our special place!

McDonald’s has more flexibility than this place — no substitutions. Food is pricey for the quality. Beef fajitas tasted bland and looked like shredded pork. GREASY! Came here due to recommendations — don’t listen!
NO RETURN for me

There are few places that can make flour tortillas as airy as this place and their enchiladas are incredible! Chicken tortilla soup is always great and my drink of choice from here is a modelo michelada. They have wonderful service and though it gets extremely busy their wait times are usually short.

Great food, great atmosphere, staff is very nice. And for the food… OMG this is really good, tried their carne guisada, fajitas, enchiladas, puffy tacos and everything is reaaaaly good. My favorite place to eat real Mexican food in San Antonio

Prefect, the service (thanks Lisa) and food. If you’ve never been I highly recommend that you do. The fajitas are great. If you go, go early.

I love Nichas!!! All is forgiven with the tres leches. The bean and cheese on a corn tortilla made the ultimate decision. I’ve had the best Caldo de pollo there. This place is forever busy. Dozens of people leaving and dozens more coming. The parking situation is odd on the restaurants main lot but there is a big lot right across the street on WW White.

Nicha’s is a tasty, commercialized Mexican restaurant on the southside (assuming you’re at this location). It is a big favorite of the teachers I work with, and we even win gift cards there for different drawings and awards at school. The food is reminiscent of the family-​owned taqueria typical on this area, but portion sizes are larger and it’s more Americanized. Even their single tacos are big!
Don’t plan on getting through here quickly on a Sunday, it’s a very popular place for family brunches after church. With good reason, the prices were reasonable for a family as well.
Rating system:

3 stars = Indifferent, average, acceptable.
