" I can't get enough of the chicken tacos here! The flavors are genuine and the presentation is always appealing. Each time I visit, I walk in expecting a great meal, and every time I'm satisfied. The staff can be hit or miss with their friendliness, but as long as I'm getting those amazing tacos, I don't mind! Plus, they are always generous with the portions, and you definitely get your money's worth. Highly recommend trying them if you're nearby! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I think I’ve had the best tacos in Connecticut, I return to Nicolas and am amazed yet again. Their crunchy tacos are not just filled with meat; they are a flavor explosion. Everything from the fresh pico de gallo to the perfectly seasoned meats makes each bite a delight. It truly captures the essence of authentic Mexican cuisine. I've also tried their burritos, and while they are certainly large and filling, it's their tacos that steal the show. I could eat here every week, and I have recommended it to all my friends who are tired of the usual taco chains. If you find yourself in the Newington area, this spot is a must-visit. Just don’t forget to ask for the salsa verde on the side; it’s to die for! " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally got around to trying the Mexican side of Nicolas, and I have to say I was impressed. The authenticity of the flavors really hit home with me. Their tacos packed a punch, and every bite was enjoyable! The only drawback was a slight delay in service—it was busy when I got there. I’d suggest going during off-peak times if you’re impatient, but the food is worth the wait. The burritos are next on my list! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Nicolas for the second time recently and while the tacos were still quite good, I was disappointed with the service again. The girl taking the orders seemed overwhelmed, and there was a long wait before anyone acknowledged me. I understand that busy times can get hectic but some smiles and recognition would go a long way. I love the food, but I might just take it to go next time to bypass the atmosphere. The portions are excellent though, I never leave feeling hungry! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! I stumbled upon Nicolas during a night out with friends, and we decided to give it a shot. The place is quite small but cozy, just a typical hole-in-the-wall type, which somehow made it feel more authentic. I tried the steak burrito and it was succulent, perfectly wrapped, and genuinely delicious. The service, however, could use some improvement—it felt a bit rushed. But I’ll definitely be back for the food alone! I could rave about that burrito forever, and I can’t wait to try their pizza next time. Do yourself a favor and grab a bite here - you won’t regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" So I originally came here just for a quick meal but ended up falling in love with the tacos! They serve up flavorful, authentic dishes that take me back to my days in Mexico. Each taco is stuffed with fresh ingredients, and though I've tried their burritos too, nothing compares to the tacos. My only complaint would be the inconsistent service. I can be greeted warmly one day and met with indifference the next. Still, when the food is this good, I can overlook that. The ambiance is more take-out than dine-in, but it just adds to the charm of this place. Overall, it’s a solid spot that I highly recommend. " (*Curated Review*)

" Nicolas has certainly won my heart with their burritos. They are massive, which is perfect for someone like me who hates being hungry an hour after eating. I love how they prepare them with fresh produce and the right amount of seasoning. I have tried a number of different burritos, and they have all been loaded and flavorful. Even with takeout, the quality has remained consistent, which I appreciate. The service, however, definitely needs to be worked on. Each time I go, I feel like I have to break the ice with the workers, which can be a bit uncomfortable. Still, it's worth it for the burritos, which are really just incredible. I suggest you try them! " (*Curated Review*)
