I live a few blocks from this place. Probably eat here a few times a month. Everything is fresh, and the portions are giant. Two tacos are a meal in itself. I've never finished a whole burrito in one sitting, either. You will not leave hungry. They also have a variety of beverages (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic), chips, and snacks offered. Everyone is friendly. Do yourself a favor and stop debating where to eat lunch today and swing by this place.

In the land of excellent taquerias, Nikko's sets itself apart by having massive mission style burritos, a few unique menu items, and fast and friendly service.

Thank you for the service and my food, was very delicious, fresh. And make me feel so welcoming at your place. I'll definitely come back to tried other food. This time, I tried a hand made fish and chicken tacos with a fresh Jamaica. Fresh guacamole and salsas with fresh chips. Everything I eat was fresh and flavors. Thank you, thank you thank you

Great food (and big serving sizes), good prices, friendly staff. My usual is a rice bean and cheese burrito for just under 10, and they throw in free chips and salsa! I'd be sad if they ever close, please support this great locally owned business. 3

The Quesabirria is the best I have ever had. It's on their secret menu and you have to ask for it busy name. It it with everything and ask for the broth it was cooked it. 4 of them around 24 dollars and worth every cent.

Best tacos in town! Hot salsa should be bottled and sold it’s that good! Large portions and fair prices. Lengua and Carnitas tacos are a must try. Update: Nikko’s continues to get better and better. They now have Isabelle from 8-4pm who makes fresh, hand made tortillas! You truly get what you pay for here and other Tacos in town may be a little less, but here they make almost everything from scratch and do not buy cheap ingredients. You can see from the pictures that these are burrito size servings in a taco!!!

I ordered two fish tacos they were delicious and good size from what I expected. My husband ordered a steak torta, the meat was sauted with veggies He surely enjoyed it. While a short wait I also appreciate the fresh chips and salsa, and a decent amount too. I noticed some people rated low on atmosphere of the place because it is small but once you try the food you can care less about that, I also noticed people buying to go. The food was for sure fresh, glad we decided to eat here.

Great food, friendly service, awesome little place. I can honestly only speak to their burritos, because that’s what I always get. They have some interesting flavors that all look great. The lime steak burrito is absolutely fantastic, as is the chipotle burrito. The prices are typical for the Bay Area, 17 for a burrito but these things are big! It’s typical enough for 2 meals. Their salsa is great as well, try the hot red salsa, it’s great. I’m actually off to get myself a lime steak burrito right now....
