Nikkos Cafe - Redwood City

The food here is absolutely delicious! I ordered the fajita plate for $16, and it was enough for three meals. The cashier was friendly, and even though the place was very busy, my food came out fairly quickly. I appreciated that after handling cash, the cashier went to wash his hands before assisting the cook. The kitchen appeared quite clean, as did the tables. However, the walls did look like they hadn’t been wiped down in a while.

I had the ahi tuna, which was really enjoyable. The salsa could use more flavor, but it definitely packs a spicy punch. The portion sizes are quite generous, so you definitely get your money's worth. Too many places confuse heat with flavor, but this one stands out.

I stopped by on a whim for nopales tacos and I'm so glad I did! The tacos were both tasty and authentic, with serrano peppers that were so deliciously spicy they gave me hiccups! I quickly quelled the heat with some horchata and kept on eating. It seems they also offer great breakfast options, breakfast burritos, dinner combos, and more. Some items are a bit pricier, likely due to the prime location just off Whipple and El Camino, which probably drives up their rent. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a visit. There's plenty of parking available since there's a 7-11 in the same mini-mall. The service was friendly, and the tables were clean, with good COVID-19 precautions in place – we’re not completely out of the pandemic yet!

Great tacos and salsas!!!! Was going to pick up taquitos at 7/11. Saw, .69 tacos from 2-4pm. It’s 3:57, hmm, why not!! High quality tacos and both salsas were perfect!!

Long time peninsula native who's loves street tacos and Nikko's is by far the best I have had. The green salsa is not too spicy and not too bland. they offer an option to have fried onions ontop of your tacos and I highly recommend it. the staff Is amazing and the food is that damn good.
