Nicks is a local spot that I have craved ever since I moved out of town. It is a must stop any time I'm in town. Their chorizo breakfast burritos are amazing but they also have great sandwiches, burritos and tacos. Make sure to bring cash, it is cash only! read more

The wife and I have been coming here since we first met 23 years ago. The quality of the food hasn't changed. This is for sure a locals spot as you sit and watch the various people coming in and out to eat. The spot is small, with maybe 8 tables inside and 3 tables out in front on the sidewalk. The menu has a variety of breakfast burritos and sandwiches, among other things. My fam ALWAYS gets the chorizo breakfast burritos, loaded with chorizo, eggs, potatoes, and cheese. You can add avocado, sour cream, etc on request. They can also make them as spicy or mild as you wish. I decided to go off script and get the mole high pastrami on rye, with the side of mac salad. It was delicious and I would definitely order it again. The service here always friendly but quick as they are usually very busy. It might not look like much from the outside, but this place is a definite golden spot. We will be back as often as we can. You need to try this place at least once. IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE!!! When you come here, they are a CASH ONLY business. There are ATMs in the immediate area if you need money. read more

Breakfast burritos to die for!!! Service is amazing everyone in the restaurant is welcoming and very genuine. 10/10 recommend!!

Best breakfast burritos in beach cities! Guys are great and you can call in orders. We have gone there for years

Easily the best breakfast burrito and sandwich shop I've ever been to! It's a nice little spot you could easily miss. The service is old school. Take a number and wait for the call. Sidewalk tables and delicious food! What more could you ask for? Just read some of the other reviews. Definitely a go to spot. read more

The OG nicks - but parking couldn't be more difficult on a Saturday morning if they tried - love this location though. Great people and breakfast burritos read more

This video went viral in SoCal from the local KTLA TV. I'm close to the area so I was finally able to check it out. Here was my experience on a Sunday afternoon. AMBIANCE: Parking: There's parking in the strip but that can get pretty packed. However there's parking perpendicular to the strip some timed and some not. Seating: Enough room for about 50 people. All mainly inside,some patio seating and very few outside. Feels: Think about Huntington or Newport Beach but smaller. It's a charming strip with eatery, art, or clothing shops. Not too far away is Seal Beach. As for Nick's Dli itself, it's your typical spacious deli shop with a tv and a plantation next door. It's family friend and great for everyone: tourists, date nights, and all that jazz. FOOD: Breakfast Burrito (Recommend) Yes yes yes. Served hot and fresh in a fairly reasonable size. What's unique is the well-chopped mix of bacon, eggs, sour cream, chorizo, and cheese. It's not too overloaded with cheese and the sour cream blended deliciously well to it. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Friendly. We were greeted and received our orders at an appropriate time. TL; DR OVERALL: 4 Stars. Excellent, a good old local eatery with plenty of selections and at a reasonable price. I enjoyed the vibes and the food. A definite gem for Seal Beach. TIPS: * Their chips are not your usual brand. * There's more to pick from than the breakfast burrito * They do tapatio here * http://ktla.com/2014/06/08/burrous-bites-nicks-deli/ * CASH ONLY read more

Nick's Deli - The famous breakfast burrito - Delis Near Me - Seal Beach, California

CASH ONLY!!! Craving a breakfast burrito, was in the area, and stopped by here to satisfy my cravings with my best friend. Small and intimate deli/ restaurant with minimal seats available inside. Line starts at the register and normally goes out the door. This deli serves various burritos and countless types of sandwiches as well as breakfast plates. Once you order they give you a number where you wait to be called. Once you're called to claim your order that is when you pay for your order. Went with the ITALIANO BURRITO $6.95 which consists of eggs, potatoes, cheese, and sausage. I added avocado for an additional $1.50 and jalapeños for another $0.50. Every burrito comes with a side of their special hot sauce which is just ok in my opinion. Rather have had salsa to be honest. Burritos are pretty big for the price and is kinda on the bland side. Can't quite comment on the service because I didn't get to experience any besides ordering and paying for my burritos. Overall an ok experience and I can't say I'd be back any time soon, maybe if I was in the area read more

Nick's Deli - Delis Near Me - Seal Beach, California

This is the place to go for breakfast burritos. Plus, I absolutely love weekends in seal beach! We ordered the regular BT real fast burrito, make it spicy and grill it. Eggs, cheese, chorizo, potatoes and bacon inside. My hubby added avocado inside. Salsa makes it even better. Small dining area. No fountain drinks but every flavor of Arizona Tea in a can, ice cold. Lots of options of canned soda. Love this place!! read more

All the people I know who grew up in seal beach or losal agree that nicks has the best breakfast burritos. Don't believe me? Guess you'll have to try it yourself. If you go to seal beach, bring cash. Losal accepts credit cards. It'll be a little chaotic in there most of the time, but you can call your order in if you want to grab and go. Have a picnic on the grass by the pier! read more

I hear the breakfast burritos are the best ever, but I'm not a big egg and potato lover, so I go for the all meat pork green chili burrito. It's the bomb. Add chopped green chilis to give it a little kick! read more

I was charged $96.40 for 6 breakfast burritos, sure it's my fault for using the tap feature on my phone and not paying attention. But after speaking to Nick the "owner" dude was implying that I was lying about the transaction and kept asking me the same questions over and over, he requested that I meet him at the deli to discuss the details further. It was a difference of about $35, I don't have the time to meet in person for a mistake your employee made. I'll simply not go back, the food is average and over hyped. It's just crazy to me that I had to call 4 times, continuously promised someone would call back, and then have the owner imply that I'm lying... comical read more

DELICIOUS breakfast burritos at a reasonable price. Lately, it seems that you have to wait a long time to be seated at most of the restaurants on Main Street. As I always looking for a restaurant that did not involve waiting a long time, I found this place and noticed the customers enjoying their food in the patio so I decided to try it. Best decision ever! I look forward to going back soon. read more

Great service and food. Best breakfast burritos around. So delicious! Highly recommended.

Used to be good. Don't know what happened. But I'll pass on a burrito coming out of the microwave.

Always consistent! Great breakfast burritos. Came all the way from Arizona just to have one.

Been coming here for years hands down the best breakfast burritos I have ever tasted we continue to order breakfast burritos to this day always perfect ready within ten minutes out of all the years I've been coming here I don't have a single complaint shout out to the chefs and the entire team if you haven't tried these order yourself one with some mild sauce get a chocolate milk and be prepared for your tastebuds for greatness! read more

The breakfast burritos can not be beat! The service is fast the prices are affordable and a great selection on the menu. Great local spot.

Nick's on Main St. is an awesome place to get a sandwich or burrito. Very small inside, they do have a few tables to sit and eat there, but by far most people are getting the sandwiches to go. Every sandwich I've had is really good. Big portions, very fair prices for what you get, fresh rolls and bread, good quality ingredients. My two favorites are the meatball and cheese, and the pastrami. The pastrami comes on rye and is super moist and flavorful, just the right amount of fat to flavor the meat, but not so much that the pastrami is greasy. And not too lean (I can't stand super lean pastrami...so dry and flavorless.) The meatballs in the MB and cheese sandwich are nice and big, subtle sauce that doesn't overwhelm the meatballs and cheese, on a nice soft roll. As other reviewers have noted, be aware Nick's is a CASH-ONLY business. If you forgot or don't have cash, there are ATM's across the road and a half-block towards the pier, at the B of A. Great place to get a sandwich, and a long time part of the Seal Beach Main St. scene. read more

**CASH ONLY, GREAT PRICES** Delicious sandwich! I had a bacon avocado sandwich and they were not shy about the avocado! Bacon was crispy and delicious! Choose from a variety of breads. Definitely going again to try other sandwiches. read more

Unpopular opinion... their breakfast burritos are not good. I mean, they're fine, not horrible, but certainly not what I was expecting given how so many people recommend Nick's. I've tried several times to see if it's just me, its not, it's the burrito. I don't know that I've ever had a more bland, no taste burrito with chorizo. I have never had chorizo that just has no flavor. How does it exist? Even Soyrizo has better flavor. But I guess it's on par with so many restaurants in Seal Beach ... just boring, unflavored food; no need to eat here again. read more

This is a 5 star place through and through, it's a local spot that will forever be here because everything they make is bomb! The breakfast burrito is my favorite! All hail nicks! read more

Super friendly service, highly recommend the breakfast burrito with hot salsa. Never disappoints and a local favorite. Highly recommend calling ahead and make sure it's this local! read more

This has been my go to place for machaca burritos since I was in high school (LHS Class of '05)! I recently branched out and tried a sandwich... it was bomb!! If you're in Seal Beach looking for a quick but delicious bite, this is the place!! Just remember, it's cash only! read more

Nick's Deli - Delis Near Me - Seal Beach, California

Came here after seeing some hype about it on the r/FoodLosAngeles subreddit. The breakfast burritos were pretty good, but not as great as the best in LA in my opinion: Lucky Boy. My main complaint with Nick's breakfast burrito was the lack of seasoning on the potatoes. Salsa has good flavor but lacks heat. Reasonably priced, pretty quick service although I think they should just take your payment when you order rather than ordering, then having to get back in line to pay as your order gets cold in the window. read more

Locals legend. Best breakfast burrito but also great sandwiches. Can't go wrong with Nick's

A solid 4.5 stars for this good ol' beachtown fave. - ATMOSPHERE It's old and run down, and I love every bit of it. There's something really nostalgic about it. The old deli fridge in the front, the old school cash register, the view of the kitchen when you're ordering... I love it all. There's plenty of seating. CUSTOMER SERVICE Aside from sit-down restaurants, there are no more places around town where you pay AFTER you receive your food. Actually, I picked up my food, and the guy goes, "Pay whenever. Now or after you eat, it doesn't matter." I dig it. They're super accommodating and are willing to answer any questions you may have about the menu items. FOOD I've gotten their BREAKFAST BURRITO before and it's amazing, but this time around I ordered the CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH. I loved it. It's made with white meat chicken, which I happen to appreciate. Mixed in is mayo, egg, a little bit of celery, and salt and pepper. Classic, basic, but really tasty. I got it on toasted wheat bread with lettuce and tomatoes on the sandwich and the pickles on the side. I ate the pickles sorta like chips. Yummy! I would definitely order this sandwich again. They give you a generous serving of chicken salad, so I was only able to eat half of the sandwich. I saved the rest of it and ate it for lunch. - OVERALL I ride to Seal Beach often especially during the summer. I will absolutely be back! read more

I was just on the freeway looking for a quick bite to eat. Found Nicks deli and was so happy I did. Delicious sandwiches, lots of options with the salad bar, and free ice cream at the end. I can't wait to go back and try a different sandwich. read more

I've been going there since high school which I'm sad to say has been 25 years and we just went back when we came back to visit and it's still delicious. read more

Great Food and service is great always busy but they are very well organized so not to bad of a wait

Somehow I only gave 4 stars in my original review. Nothing has changed. Still the best in the business for the breakfast burrito game.

All I can say is they have the greatest corn beef sandwiches ever. Rye bread and lean but absolutely melts in your mouth. The place in Seal Beach is small but still cozy. I usually just do take out. If you want a terrific afternoon then pick one up and head over to a bench near the pier. I'll have to try some other sandwiches but just can't seem to get past the corn beef. read more

Love Nick's Deli, I can't say enough about their food or the service. Everyone there is friendly and the food is delicious, unique and affordable. Thanks Nick for always making it a good experience! read more

Love Nick's Deli! Have been going for a very long time, also friendly group, especially Nick! My daughter arrived from Australia and the first think she request was a burrito from Nick's, breakfast burrito grilled , sauce in side Hava chips and a can of Coke! She was the happiest girl! I called for 5 burritos and they were ready within minutes! Always fresh and yummy! read more

Pretty good breakfast burritos. Would not recommend the italian sausage one though. I like the bacon one best.

Been eating Nicks breakfast burritos for YEARS! They are the best I've ever had. After moving, I've tried to recreate them at other restaurants, but no luck. So, we visit twice a year and eat as many breakfast burritos as we can! So what's my order? Junior breakfast burrito, mild, toasted! My husband loves his with avocado. The sauce they give you is so delicious. Of course, don't forget your cash and definitely call in your order first so it's ready when you go to pick up. You may end up waiting awhile! Bottom line: The best breakfast burrito I've ever had and will ever have! read more

Best tuna I've had in a while!! Was my first time eating at Nick's! 50 years of greatness!

Burritos are always perfect here. There are many things in the menu but I prefer the breakfast burrito with chorizó. It's absolutely yummmy. Pretty good price. I would suggest you call in your order because there is always a line. Btw, their staff is the friendliest group of guys ever. So tip them well. read more
