" I must say, NIDO's has a charming setting with its outdoor decor. However, on my last visit, the food was not at the expected level of quality. The fish tacos were a big disappointment, lacking that authentic flavor punch. On the plus side, their drinks are strong, and the atmosphere is still worth experiencing. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is a lovely venue! I attended a wedding reception there, and it was truly memorable. The food was delicious, especially the duck enchiladas, and everything was beautifully decorated for the event. Service was attentive and friendly. I'm definitely considering it for future events I host myself! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited NIDO's Backyard after hearing about it from friends, and it met my expectations! The ambiance is festive, and the service was friendly. I ordered the papas pasadas and was truly impressed; however, some of the other dishes my friends had were lackluster. Nonetheless, I would recommend it for a group outing or a fun afternoon. " (*Curated Review*)

" NIDO's has a great outdoor vibe, making it a lovely spot for an afternoon meal. However, my experience with the food was inconsistent. I tried the quesadilla, which sounded good, but it arrived a bit bland compared to what I was expecting. The drinks, again, saved the day for me. They really know how to mix a mean cocktail! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a hidden gem! I had a family reunion here, and it couldn't have gone better. The service was attentive, and everyone was treated so well. We ordered a ton of dishes to share family-style, and everything was delicious—especially the enchiladas! The vibrant decor and festive vibe made it so enjoyable. Definitely coming back!

" 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*)
