Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Sat outside on patio and shared steak and shrimp fajitas !! Amazing waitstaff !! Amazing food ! Chips and hot sauce was fresh and great ! No complaints ! We come every time we come to town . We always drink tea --- so have never tried the margaritas ...

Best frozen margaritas downtown. Their service is usually pretty good, especially since they usually have a lot of drunk people coming in off the street. Their food is okay. It is reasonably priced, but it's not the best Mexican food in town. Their cheese has something off about it in my opinion. However, they're in a great location!

This place is hard to rate. On food alone I'd probably put it at 3 stars. Service can be mixed with great to OK depending on who you catch in there. But the margaritas are fantastic, strong, and cheap. I keep coming back so I guess I gotta go with "Yey! I'm a fan" (4 stars). I've been coming to Shreveport for work for 16 years now. Discovered Nicky's about 5 years ago or so. The food here is OK. Not out of the park or anything but it's not bad. Tonight, I ordered the Queso Flameado due to the comments from another yelper. It was definitely better than what I've had here before and will order it again next time. Very good. What keeps me coming back is those damned strong margaritas they have during happy hour. Have two and you better damn well be walking to where you need to go or have a ride! They serve them in a large styrofoam cup. The happy hour deal is suppose to be two for one but it gets confusing from there as it seems not everyone here is treating the 'two for one' the same way. Some say you're getting two in one cup (it is big). Others servers say each is it's own. I quit asking what rules we're playing by since the bill aways ends up about the same anyway. I think the ones saying you're getting two in one large cup are charging $3 x 2 and the ones saying it's all one are charging $6 for each 'one' but I'm not in there often enough to compare notes really... just that the total bill seems about the same from one visit to the next. I love the fact they offer wifi by the way. Traveling alone, it's really nice to have that option available to pass the time. Things they could do better: Get everyone on the same page. It was at first frusterating to me to find the happy hour rules differed from one night to the next depending on employee... until I realized it didn't matter. I'm not a fan of the salsa. It's passable, sortof, but dump that recipe and start over from scratch and this place would be better off. Get rid of the out dated iddy biddy TVs or replace them with modern decent sized ones people will actually watch.

The place smelled of sewage when I walked in. It was very unappetizing. However, the service was good and they had a very good selection of Mexican beers on tap. The food came out quickly and it was your typical Mexican cuisine. It was pretty good, but the smell just kind of ruined it for me.

I knew something was wrong when the place was deserted at 7pm. The DosXX draft was flat, not even a hint of Co2. The food was beyond bad, it was downright horrible. The salsa was tasteless red mush. Not e single person in my party enjoyed their meal. The bathrooms were filthy and reeked of urine. Avoid this place, and hit up Superior instead.

We love 2 for 1 enchiladas on Mondays & Tuesdays! Great margaritas and fajitas. Always have the same lady wait on us and she's super sweet.

We went to this place on a recommendation from a friend. My favorite place to eat, Superiors, was packed so we looked for plan B. It's hard to find since it's kind of off the road, however we found it. Initially nervous in the restaurant, after being nervous outside the restaurant due to the area under the bridge, because we were there on a Saturday evening and only two tables were taken but the restaurant smelled good so we went on in. I had the sour cream chicken enchiladas....they were ok. Nothing special. I did enjoy the beans and rice. The beans were a little different, which was nice. My kids had the burrito which tasted good and a nice portion for a kid's entree. My wife picked the best option for dinner...the Queso Flameado. Luckily it was too much food for her so she gave me her leftovers...how romantic :) I would come back just for this! Wow! it was good!! So, if you go to Nicky's, no need to look at the menu....just order the Queso Flameado. You won't be disappointed.

Terrible service @ lunch, our server isn't even trying to do a good job, slow and inattentive, she'll probably complain about the tiny tip....she earned it. Food is so-so or maybe bad service tainted the taste.

This is the only Nicky's I ever frequent. I usually hit this place up, if I've got something else planned in the area (like going to an event at the Barnwell (the Christmas laser show, yeah!), something at the Riverview Theatre, or just peddling through on my bicycle on an afternoon and stop by for a 'rita and some chips 'n salsa with some of the other riders in the area. It's been a real testament to the dedication and loyalty of the owners to keep this place open in this location, to where as nothing from the original "Red River District" has really survived, this and maybe Fatty Arbuckles are the only two constants at this locale. Remember, this used to be "Chit's"? Which, I didn't think was all that bad of a place, just super-busy and overwhelmed at first as all places were in that hotspot of the moment. Ultimately, the whole area was mishandled and now you have what you see...a lot of empty spaces long since vacant with nothing new on the horizon. Back to Nicky's though, the food here is a good as it is at any Nicky's. Which is to say that it's good, and good Mexican food , for me, makes any day a good day. I love Mexican food and Nicky's is decent Mexican food. When it comes to Mexican food here locally, I rank them like this: 1.) Superior Bar and Grill 2.) Cantina Laredo 3.) El Compadre 4.) Tacomania and 5.) (Tie) Trejo's and Nicky's...Trejo's and Nicky's are both good restaurants, but in my mind, they are interchangeable. They are about the same. There is absolutely nothing wrong with either one of them! I would eat at any of these restaurants right at this very moment, right now, it's just that there's too many good-to-great Mexican restaurants here locally and we are truly blessed for that. (I'd put Pepe's in the mix, but they're more on the fringe, being in Haughton, Minden and Benton-I don't really count them as local, though they are good) Nicky's also has that orangey-tangy-creamy dressing that girls seem to just go nuts over, but it is good. I know that others have that dressing now, that usually goes with salads, but Nicky's as I know it, was the first to offer it. I know people that order it separately (and pay for it) just to dip their chips into it. (It's kind of like the Green Goddess dressing that they used to offer at the Old Murrell's, not similar in taste whatsoever, but similar in the sense that the dressing has developed a sort of cult-like following, all its' own and people just love it!) When I eat at Nicky's, I always order the same thing, the Queso Flameado with fajita beef. It is very good. Well-seasoned and tasty strips of beef served on a sizzling iron skillet, mixed with melting cheeses, with crisp, fresh peppers and onions. They also bring you flour tortillas, which I just rip apart and eat like slices of bread. I eat the Flameado with a fork, and it is yummy! The chips and salsa are also very good. I like to sit near a window in this restaurant, or out on the patio if it's not too hot, and just people-watch as I devour my delicious entree. In what's left of the Red River District, you can watch a many passers-by. Tasty Queso, good margaritas, that orangey-stuff, and an interesting environment in which to consume these things, makes Nicky's downtown, my Nicky's of choice.
