" I love how NIDO's blends fun decor with authentic food. Their blue corn tortillas were excellent! The staff was very accommodating, and I enjoyed their unique mezcal cocktails too. This place makes for a great hangout with friends; I can’t think of a better spot for an afternoon get-together or a casual dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" NIDO's features an ambiance that feels young and fresh. I loved the outdoor area and the festive vibe. However, I was disappointed in the quality of the food. While the drinks were strong, the tacos left much to be desired in terms of seasoning. Should give it another go, but I hope the kitchen steps up. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance is really what stands out at NIDO's. I felt very comfortable there, but the food didn't quite live up to the hype. The guacamole served tasted rather plain. The service was decent, but not as attentive as I would have liked. I’ve had better experiences; maybe I’d give it another try at some point. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely brunch experience at NIDO's BadKyard recently. The chilaquiles were fantastic, packed with flavor! The atmosphere is vibrant, perfect for a sunny day. I also appreciated the many vegan options. My friends and I enjoyed every dish we ordered, and I can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited NIDO's with the family over the weekend. The kids loved the outdoor games nearby. The service was prompt, and we appreciated the kid-friendly menu. I enjoyed my tacos al carbon, but I feel other menu items could use a flavor boost. Overall, a fun place but maybe stick to the classics for dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" NIDO's is such a vibrant space, perfect for gatherings! The outdoor setting makes for a festive atmosphere. I ordered a few different small plates to share, and while they were fine, I was hoping for more authentic flavors. Drinks were a highlight, carefully crafted and refreshing. Overall, a nice spot that's enjoyable but room for improvement in some dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" One of my favorite places in Oakland! The food is consistently good, and the drinks are even better. The outdoor setting makes it a perfect stop during summer afternoons. The service is usually pretty attentive, but I have experienced some delays during busy hours. Overall, it’s a fantastic restaurant that I always look forward to visiting! " (*Curated Review*)
