Nicky’s Mexican Restaurant

Best damn beef nachos I’ve ever had but the portions are very minuscule. Maybe they could cut the beef into smaller portions on a few more chips?
Also, Kourtney makes one hell of a margarita, thanks for the little tip about the orange liqueur.

Sorry, I try to find positives in everything, but this is a run-​of-​the-​mill Chi-Chi’s. The salsa and chips are good, but little else. I suppose it’s good for those that want to try Mexican and are intimidated by taquerias because of their energy /​chaos. We’ll find another, better place.

The service was excellent but the portions were pathetically small for the price. Apparently they just recently raised all their prices and reduced the portion sizes. I’m not sure how this place compares with other Mexican restaurants that are around Shreveport but this was was definitely disappointing.

Nachos are my favorite food… so I’m pretty critical of nachos and these ones were pretty tasty. Not a huge portion, but enough for one person.

I’m from New Mexico, which has the best Mexican food in the country, so my expectations were low. That said, this place more than validated my fears. The microwaves were broken so they couldn’t heat up certain items, they ran out of rice (which is unheard of in this type of restaurant) and I literally almost had to sue them because they left two toothpicks deep fried INSIDE my flautas which I bit down on and pulled out of my mouth afterward. Lucky for them I wasn’t hurt in that kitchen nightmare. Plus their motto says «don’t drink the water», whatever the hell that means. That should’ve been a clear sign to leave and go hungry for a night than risk possible death. On the other hand the waitress was sweet and they did refund the meal and prepared a free one to go. Still, do yourself a favor and steer clear of this place. I would give this place zero stars if that were an option.

My favorite things to eat here are the beef fajita taco salad or the Mexican skins. Sometimes, however, the fajita meat is chewy… Sometimes not. It’s inconsistent so that’s frustrating at times. Otherwise… I love this place.

I absolutely love Nicki’s. My husband and I eat there at least once a week. When you first sit down you are served chips and salsa. The chips are nice and warm, and the salsa is some of the best we have ever had. My favorite thing to order is the Burrito al Carbon with chicken. This burrito has fajita chicken, sautéed peppers and onions, and refried beans in it. It is then covered with a delicious cheese sauce and is served with a side of beans and rice. This burrito is out of this world! The chicken is so tender and delicious, and the beans and rice are a great accompaniment. My husband’s favorite is the Shredded Beef Chimichanga. I of course have had to sample this as well, and it is quite delicious. This is shredded beef wrapped in a tortilla and then deep fried and covered with Nicki’s wonderful cheese sauce. This is served with rice, and a side salad, but my husband substitutes beans for the salad. I have also had their chicken fajitas, which are great! Definitely the best Mexican restaurant in Shreveport, and we have eaten at all of them.

The food is filling, but rice is instant, (look closely at it), and refried beans taste like they are canned. My third Nicky ’ s experience. Will mot visit another
Not real mexico food… it’s like a mexican fast food.. Try Posado or El Mariachi in Shreveport area… Very authentic.

Ate with a group of 7 adults and 5 kids. The service was good. Chips were totally stale salsa was good but real hot cheese dips were great the white one was very good a bit hot but good. I ordered just hard shell tacos and they were terrible totally soggy. My husband ordered tamales they were just okay jalapeño poppers were good a lot of cheese! We waited a good hour for our food to get to the table and was not worth the wait. Now I will say someone ordered fajitas and loved them! For me not the Mexican restaurant of choice! Yuck

Went to lunch and ordered sour cream enchilada. It came with rice, beans and of course chips and salsa. Very good! Chips were warm and the salsa was great, just the right amount of spice. The food came to the table quickly and hot. I’d definitely recommend this place!

I came here since we were staying at the hotel next door. We are Texan so we eat a lot of Mexican and Texmex food. The food here was mediocre at best, and unusually served with fries and salad. Wasn’t bad, but I wouldn’t come back. My drinks from the bar sucked. That’s pretty hard to do. Not weak… just tasted awful. However, my waitress was outstanding and very attentive. So overall, it’s good for its convenience but not authentic Mexican. Good service saves any dinning experience so kudos to the young lady that took care of us.

For a Mexican place, this one has a great atmosphere and a large menu. The staff I’d friendly and prompt, and the good quality is average. I had the combination platter which gave a sampling of 3 items. The taco was the highlight, the beef enchilada was average, and the tamale was in my opinion sub par. It lacked filling and was flavorless.
The décor and music is fun, next time I’d like to check out the bar as it seemed that’s where the action was. Overall, it’s a fun place but don’t get your hopes up for anything amazing food quality wise.

It was mexican food, and it was ok. Nothing much to brag about or return for. I went expecting something more authentic and unique than taco bueno, and was sadly disappointed.
We had a mix of different enchilada plates and a kids meal. Fortunately kids dont care because the fries looked like they had been under a warming lamp all evening. Everything about the enchiladas was mediocre. Not horrible but for the $$, i could have done better at home. The beans were bland and plain too.
I would have to watch the salsa being made from vegetable delivery to table jar, to be convinced it wasnt from a 5gallon bucket of premade salsa from a restaurant supply house. The presentation was lousy too. At least give customers bowls for the salsa so were not scooping it off the side of a repurposed elementary school lunchroom plate.
The margarita was spot on though. I had a frozen one. Theyre pretty strong, and pricey. My only complaints are for $ 10 drink, lose the styrofoam cup, and teach your waitstaff to explain options and pricing better. It wouldnt have changed my selection but was a big deal for others in the group.
Our Waitress was not very attentive. Someone else pushed us for an alcohol and appetizer order as we were still seating and hadnt looked over menu very good. Another waitress brought our drinks and THEN asked if the other girl had explained the margarita options and confirmed we were ok with $ 10 for a double, but we had already ordered and received our margaritas. She disappeared for 20 min, returned to take our food order, then we only saw her twice after that. At food delivery and when the check came. We prob wouldnt have wanted refills anyway since they charge for second refill on sodas according to menu.

Had a couple margaritas and ordered the steak, chicken, and shrimp fajitas. Overall the food was great. Drinks were ok, but I was given a margarita that was room temperature, needless to say it wasn’t great. The atmosphere was good, service was ok but not the best. May return if I’m in the area again.

It’s Mexican food but better than most places I have been. Very friendly waitstaff and fun atmosphere. I would defiantly go back. It’s very casual but a fun place to go for some casual drinks with a group or even with just a few friends.

In the area for work and stopped here for lunch. I had the fajita tacos, they were ok nothing to write home about. Service was friendly enough and fast. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing because it was pretty full at lunch.

It was OK. Nothing spectacular. Everything seemed to be from a can except the meat. Had the enchiladas. They were middle of the road. The place is pretty dusty as well, dust on all of the flags hanging around the dining area, puts you off. Not bad, but not good.

Driving from New Orleans and ran into this place. Looks a little run down in the outside but when u walk inside it is nice. Food is great and the salsa is amazing. Had the fried burrito and it was awesome. Wish this place excisted in my hometown. I love this place.

Worst service ever. While he was supposedly taking our order he was more focused on his buddies a few tables back. The food had no flavor.

The margaritas will knock you back, so slow down on the intake; especially on 2 – 1 nights. The drawback is you get them in a Styrofoam cup.
Food here is decent and level of service depends on how crowded the place gets on any given night. Lunch is a great option and you tend to get in and out relatively quickly.
The chips and salsa are comped with a meal, but the salsa is a bit weak.
Overall a decent place and they have several locations in the area. Worth a visit, but one of those places that is not really worth the drive though.
