This was the worst Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. The salsa tasted and looked like it came from a jar. The chips were vastly undersalted. The rice was bland. The supremo sauce tasted like something you'd find on pasta, not a burrito. I've never seen a margarita so tiny. The sangria did not taste like it was freshly made. The service here left much to be desired. I had good memories of going here as a kid but I was incredibly disappointed coming back as an adult. Maybe we're just spoiled by all of the authentic, tasty Mexican around us. read more

This was the worst Mexican Food I've ever had. The service was ok, the ambiance was ok. I'm not sure how or why this place is always busy. They serve chips from a bag, salsa from a jar and the Queso was from a GFS can or from Gehl's cheese for a dispenser. I ordered a Botana and the chips were stale, they tried to cover it up with the beans and cheese. It had sliced pickles on it too. Have you ever had sliced pickles on a botana?! It was bizarre. It was terrible. A real waste of money. I'm still in shock as I write this review. Also, the refried beans were from a can as well. Never again! read more

Good restaurant, service was good, portion sizes are good. The food is quite tasty, it is however not Mexican, nor is it TexMex. The food is a midwestern version of Mexican food. Very mild spice levels, if you like more authentic spice content then you will likely be disappointed. The hottest item they have is Jalapeños. However, the flavors of what they do make is great. Particularly impressed by the broccoli burrito. read more

Disappointed. Been coming to El Nibble Nook for nearly 50 years! Don't get there much anymore since we've moved. Food is still fresh and excellent tasting, but portions were smaller this time. All Mexican food has always been large portions, it's expected! I'm not saying your meal should be gigantic to be good or worth it, but when my husband had a Mariachi's Caliente Grande and a California Style Burrito and was still hungry when we got home, it's obvious that portions were downsized considerably! Not a good value. Service was too attentive. We hadn't seen our friends in over a year and had a lot of catching up to do.... the waitress came every two minutes asking if we were ready to order, we hadn't even opened the menus! Felt as though we were rushed through dinner. It's not as though it was crowded and people were waiting to be seated. Somewhat quiet atmosphere, but cold in temp. read more

Have to start with.... If you're dining somewhere they should keep the kitchen open for dessert and after drinks or at least give you a heads up and ask. Restaurant was dead when we came in so you would think that service would be up to par. Madison our server was friendly and prompt on getting our food and refills. The good was also good. Same standards as I've always had here, which is why I gave them 3 stars, until we tried to order dessert and after dinner drinks. We were told sorry the kitchen is closed. It is unacceptable! It was only 9:10. We weren't told there was a last call or asked if we would be wanting to order dessert before they closed. Very poor customer service! *Quick update - The manager overheard my husband and I speaking on the way out and apologized. He also extended a free to dessert to us next time to make up for things. read more

I had low expectations going in knowing that this isn't a real Mexican restaurant. We start out with zucchini fries which are undercooked but it's ok since it's veggies. No seasoning that I can tell and the ranch dressing doesn't add much. I figure I will go with something that is difficult to screw up so I go with the beef fajitas. Supposedly filet Mignon which is unusual to say the least. I ask it to be cooked medium but it comes out over cooked. The presentation is disappointing, it doesn't come on a skillet but on a plate with a mixture of overcooked and undercooked food like the bell peppers and onions. The flour tortillas look and taste store bought and comes folded on the same plate. This was by far the worst fajitas I've had in my entire life. The only upside is that the service was pretty good and I didn't end up with any stomach problems afterwards what a relief! read more

History

Established in 1946.

El Nibble Nook was established in 1946 by John and Elizabeth Stephenson. Then called simply "The Nibble Nook", it was a small little place where diners could enjoy great home cooked meals for low prices. The Stephensons would often close the restaurant in the dead of winter and retreat to Acapulco, Mexico for some rest and relaxation in the Mexican sun. It was here that they developed a long-lasting relationship with a local Mexican Family that operated a small little retreat called "Motel Gloria". The delicious Mexican foods that Gloria would prepare gave them inspiration to do the same style of cooking North of the border. One year upon their return from their Mexican migration the Stephensons decided to make Tuesdays "Mexican Day". The overwhelming success fueled by authentic recipes from Acapulco, imported Mexican cooks, and the development of a truly fantastic Marguerita, soon made Tuesdays the busiest night of the week. The changing of the name to "El Nibble Nook" and the rest

I gave them another try today because I randomly wanted some Mexican (and I totally forgot it was May 5th). So I came here with my family and should have stayed home. This was thee worst Mexican I have ever had in my life. My corn tortillas were turn into crispy shells because they were cooked too long and not soft (pan heated). My carnitas had no flavor. My horchata was so sour tasting and smelling. It was also thick and very curdy. I sent it back. The rice might have been the worst part. There was no flavor. The rice is what I remember 12 years ago. It tastes like minute rice. The only things good were the chips and salsa. The waitress was nice, but she was new. Nothing was her fault. I unfortunately was very unhappy with this place. Definitely can say I'll never return.

Wait line.

See all

Fabulous experience here for Mother's Day! Chips and salsa served quickly, and we ordered…read moreguacamole, which was delicious. Small was a perfect amount for two of us to share. They also had Happy Hour (even on a SUNDAY!), so the drinks were a steal. About $5 each for a medium margarita and for a 22 oz beer! We shared chicken fajitas, which were delicious and a great portion. Everyone was friendly. The booth was big and cozy. We will definitely be back!

The Quasabirria was a disaster. Soggy and very difficult to pick up and enjoy…read more Will not be returning.
