We absolutely love Nico! The fish is beyond imaginable!!! Tonight we had a grouper and my mouth is still savoring the flavor! Nico is beyond fabulous!!! His service is incredible! The ambience is literally supporting a small business owner! Please stop by and pick up a FRESH piece of fish YOU will not be disappointed!

I was able to enjoy some of Nico’s fare at South O Brewing. I ordered the La Chinesca which was nothing short of amazing. I paired it with the new hazy called cloud delay. Tjis worked out well as both the beer and the poke were very bold and satisfying. I highly recommend both of these items if you get the opportunity. The atmosphere is welcome and warm with lots of locals which is somewhat the norm in the winter moths. For sure give both a shot

I went to their location at the shanty. I came too late so a lot of the stuff was sold out, but I enjoyed the nico burrito and nico taco. I would come back, but for now, I really like the people running this and their concept.

Top notch fresh fish! Only problem is they don't have an official brick n mortar store front. They partner with local businesses to set up a pop-up restaurant. They are local fisherman that are looking to share their recent catch. Whether it be the poke, plate or burrito, everything is amazing. We had a party of 12 and everyone enjoyed their meal. I guess there is something to be said about a good chef and fresh fish! I am told you can see where they will be on their Instagram account.

Way to go Nico! The first time I found this little pop up I wasn't super hungry but had to try the fresh faire. They had their catch of the day tacos but I wanted to try the Nico taco. I mean it's apparently good enough to use their namesake. I took one bite and thought this has to be one of the best fish tacos around. Sometimes I jump the gun and write a glowing review instantly only to be disappointed on my next visit so this time I decided to wait. Well tonight we showed up around happy hour to have a couple tacos as an early evening appetizer a few months after our first visit. We tried the Nico's taco to verify consistency and also tried the fresh catch mahi mahi taco. Both were delicious but I would have to give the edge to the Nico's taco. The breading is just the right amount of everything. We did have to wait a little longer this time, I'm assuming because word is getting out about how good and fun this little pop up is, but were content sitting outside on the patio enjoying the evening and the food was worth the wait.
Seriously the best poke and fish burrito l have ever had. The flavors are spot on and the fish is fresh off the boat. Highly recommend 10/10! Plus Nico and his team are awesome. Check the schedule and go ASAP you will not be disappointed!

Amazing. Mahi Mahi was Fresh and incredible. I’m not a huge fish guy but I can’t turn down this burrito. They set up a stand outside South0 brewery.

Food is okay. Enjoyed the tacos with the daily catch options but the nico's burrito was underwhelming and the poke was not fresh or tasty. Pricey for what it is.

My family and I are obsessed with Nico’s. When they first started doing pop ups around north county, I instantly fell in love with the concept. They serve fresh fish caught by either Nico himself or other local fisherman. You really can’t go wrong with that. But what’s truly amazing is the whole package-poke, fish tacos, fish plates, burritos-it is all so flavorful! The fish is fresh and delicious but all the ingredients together make it the best. They use pickled onions, fresh salsa (pico de gallo), avo, blue tortillas for the tacos, and an amazing lilys sauce. We’ve had a lot of fish tacos, burritos, and poke from all over San Diego and Hawaii and I’d say Nico’s is our favorite. My daughter devours the fish plate, tacos, and burrito but doesn’t like similar dishes from other places. I follow their instagram to see where they will be popping up each week. When they go to Baba and crackheads we grab wine or beer and chill at the tables outside. Nico’s just has the best food around with great prices and we’ve always enjoyed chilling outside wherever they pop up.
