I haven't been to Nicky's in over 25 years. Wow! I don't recall the tastes. Pictured is the Carne Asada. Both plates! I needed two "to go boxes" after having loaded up on chips and queso prior to getting my entre.So, on we go.My party of 7 was seated promptly, and initial drink orders were taken. We ordered three warm waters, two waters no ice, and two ice waters. One of my party suggested the server get an impressive tip if she got the water right. She did! We ordered two frozen peach margaritas, and one on the rocks. Also a couple of strawberry on the rocks as well as a Corona Michalada. The Margaritas are most likely the best in SBC. The Michalada has a creeper spice that prevented consumption at the bottom of the glass. Don't get me wrong, it was very good.We ordered a "large" queso. It was disappointing that it came in a 2/3 cup condiment bowl. I don't know how they could have a smaller container for the small version. My definition of large is at least twice this size. We had to order another. It was delicious and had the taste of authentic Mexican crema. The salsa was very good, and the chips were warm and kept coming.The entres were served in tremendous proportions, which more than made up for the lack of largeness of the queso. I can only attest for the Carne Asada, my entre. Though pricey, it was served on two large plates which made the price reasonable. The flavor of the meat is the second best that my 65 year old memory serves. I was raised in Dallas, which, arguably, is the Tex-Mex capitol of earth. My vote for the best flavor is from 45 years ago at a restaurant in Dallas that no longer exists. The point is, second best ever is outstanding coming from me. The quesadilla atop the skirt steak was filled with cheese and lightly grilled. If my diet permitted, I could eat a plate full of these things. The set up plate had a cheese enchilada thing, I guess. The menu didn't mention it. It was over stuffed with cheese and too rich for one sitting. I'm certain the last half of it will warm up fine later. The guacamole has unique texture with diced onions, and also is some of the best in SBC. The only flavor that was disappointing was the beans. They were very good, but not my expectation of Tex-Mex. I had a Mexican step-mother during my adolescents. Refried beans are made starting with simply beans and water. That's it. These had a soul food taste, maybe a smoked ham hock flavor. Sorry for the vague description. You'd have to try them to interpret my meaning. Some in my party loved them, as did I. Just not my idea of Mexican food.Good service is hard to find in restaurants now days, since COVID. Though there are some better in SBC, I tipped 30%. I live on Social Security if that tells you anything.All in all, this has achieved the top three of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Shreveport, Bossier City. Again, this means a lot coming from me. I'm hard to please when it comes to Mexican food. You'd have to make the trip to Dallas to get better.I'll definitely go back and highly recommend Nicky's.

This was our first time back in some time. We were fairly satisfied, however nothing set it apart from any other Mexican restaurant. If your looking for another average mexican restaurant, you won't be dissapointed!I will say the hostess was VERY NICE!!
Now I'm from California where they know how to cook Mexican food. And in Arizona, Texas , I have found they they are lacking in know how to cook good Mexican food, I know I hear you that doesn't seem right having Mexico boarding these states but they suck except for just a few place, now this restaurant has the appsollutly the very best retried beans. But although it was good and it was different from the red enchilada sauce used to. As there was meat small chunks in it. I ordered cheese enchilada, now if I were a vegetarian you can see where I'm coming from and the waitress didn't ask me that question and should just in case I was a vegetarian, and this was a to go order so I'd have been really upset when I got home and found on my cheese enchilada meat!

Service is great. Good deals on food Monday and Tuesdays. Servers are sweet and attend to tables well. Lauren is a great waitress and younger guy at the bar is cool too.
The food was delicious and the prices were more than acceptable. The steak nachos were the best that I've ever had. Seriously, I don't understand how they got the steak so tender. The wait staff were very nice and attentive. Next time I'm in the area I'm definitely stopping in again!Kid-friendliness: Their kid's chicken strip meal was amazing. It's more than enough to fill up even older kids. My wife and I joked that we'd absolutely pick up the kid's meal as lunch for ourself.
Got home and to go order incomplete. Management seemed most annoyed to correct the order upon my return. No apologies offered. Prices are extremely high. Again, the manager appeared to be very put out to make it right. They will never see me again.

I went around 5pm on Friday. I was not greeted when I entered the Restaurant. My food was extra overpriced. They wanted $30 for two plates my food was warm not sour cream or guacamole on either of my plates. Next time I will go to the one on Airline Viking Dr....

Jarod is an awesome waiter. The food and service is always good. Cindy refills our drinks and is very observant of chip and salsa refills. Food and margaritas are really good. I’ve been coming here for years since the 90s. Since coming back I’m impressed. Highly recommend.Dietary restrictions: My sons allergic to cheese they always make sure he’s cheese less.
