    Breakfast burrito
    Vesta B.

    Every time I get the chance I am in seal beach I HAVE to come here and get a breakfast burrito and I don't just get one breakfast burrito, I get two because they are just that delicious and so is their mild/hot sauce! Omg they are so tasty! Honestly I am craving one right now lol I also tried their meat ball sandwich and that was good too. Honestly you can't go wrong with anything you get there. The service is great, they do get busy and there is a line every time you go in there but it moves really fast. They give you a number, and they will call it when your food is ready (which is a great and easy system). If you don't want to wait I recommend calling in your order and picking it up. The employees that work there are super nice and if you have any questions about the menu they give excellent recommendations. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. They have plenty of parking on the street. If you haven't been here yet you definitely need to check it out!

    I mean, it is a breakfast burrito. The main thing I was impressed by was that for being in a city as wealthy as Seal Beach, the burrito was very reasonably priced at $9.95. Amazing you can get a decent breakfast item with eggs in it at that price after tariffs, bird flu, inflation and everything else that has been happening in the economy lately, and they are making rent for a restaurant on main street Seal Beach with it. Amazing! The burrito itself was not bad but not the unicorn breakfast burrito that I have seen at the top of lists for THE BEST breakfast burrito in OC. It was not even close. There are four breakfast burritos just in Long Beach that I can think of right off the top of my head that were better than this one. I was really expecting a lot. It had chorizo, eggs, cheese, potatoes and a nice balance of each ingredient. The tortilla was dry and the "hot" salsa that came with it was not spicy and tasted super weird, like an odd cross between spaghetti sauce and pickled jalapeños. Not enjoyable or memorable in any way. After a few attempts I just threw the "salsa" away and continued with a dry burrito. It was a Saturday morning, so the line was long but they did get us through very quickly considering. Props to them for that. Service is friendly and professional even though they were slammed. Great employees! Fast and efficient. Parking sucks. All in all, not bad; however, the breakfast burrito itself was not worth the hype from all the top 10 lists from food influencers and KTLA news articles. They have a bunch of other sandwiches and menu offerings, so I plan to come back and try something else.

    Staff are super friendly and quick. Was a good option on a hit day to grab a sandwich and sit by the water. Sandwich was Ok but nothing spectacular. Bacon was too hard had to take some of it out. Otherwise pretty standard deli.

    Submarine sandwich

    This deli is so good the sandwich's were a good price, good size and the nicest staff. I definitely recommend the submarine sandwich but the best part about this deli is they have a diabetic friendly meal which is so hard to find at I was so happy that they had a meal my mom could eat definitely recommend this place!!

    Everyone raves about Nick's breakfast burritos, so I finally decided to give them a try. I got there at 10:30 on a Tuesday and the small seating areas inside and out were pretty full, perhaps because it's the start of summer. I had called in my order ahead of time, and it was ready when I arrived. There were two people in line ahead of me. The breakfast burrito has chorizo, bacon, potatoes, egg, cheese and their special sauce wrapped in a flour tortilla. You can get it mild or hot. The burrito was good but nothing out of this world. I would have liked more cheese and couldn't taste the bacon.

    *** Accepts credit cards but 3.99% processing fee will be added to the bill *** Nick's Deli is a long standing deli located in Seal Beach's Main Street since 1984. This is the flagship location with another location in Los Alamitos. [Parking]: Fairly easy parking in Old Town Seal Beach on not-so-busy weekdays. [Menu]: Not exactly the easiest menu to navigate with overwhelming sandwich selection, but this spot is known for its signature breakfast burrito. *** Breakfast Burrito (eggs, chorizo, bacon, potatoes, and cheese + special sauce; mild - $9.95): Customer can order mild or spicy special sauce. Burrito was pretty solid with just the right portion and right meat-to-cheese-to-potato ratio. Mild special sauce definitely made the burrito taste better. Also a bonus point on not having rice which is actually my personal preference. *** While it was not the best breakfast burrito I have ever had, I can actually see myself as a frequent visitor if I actually live close to this spot as (1) price is reasonable and (2) burrito is still above-average.

    Nicks has epic breakfast burrito (& salsa) I wanted to go in the morning and get a breakfast burrito burrito, but by the time I was able to get down, there was lunchtime so I ended up having a submarine sandwich which I've never had before. Delicious., fresh bread., same great service!

    Very nice presentation. Off to a promising start.

    Eating here was a long awaited occasion. Having heard great things from multiple people had our hopes up high. We came specifically for the Breakfast burritos. We were sadly disappointed, mostly with the "Breakfast Burrito." It claims to have chorizo and bacon along with potatoes, eggs, and cheese. They should list potatoes as the first ingredient because that is basically what dominated the burrito. I literally had to unroll it to try and find any bacon, of which I found the tiniest pieces. The chorizo was indistinguishable and I would have thought they forgot to add that too based on flavors. We also got the machaca burrito which was better but not worth returning for. The service was quick and the place was kept clean by very friendly staff who want you to enjoy your food, but I would not return for the breakfast burritos.

    Probably the best deal for a Reuben sandwich and I'm a huge Reuben fan. Have I had better? Yes, but this one is in my top five. As you can see in in pic, the sandwich is loaded with corned beef, plenty of kraut and swiss cheese, pickles and mustaard. Perfect for only $13.95! Nick's, known for the epic breakfast burritos, but come for lunch and get a sandwich, you won't be disappointed. The man who took my order (owner) helped me navigate the extensive sandwich board and was most helpful, and he keeps his place very clean. So, to sum it up; great prices, even better sandwiches and a clean and welcoming environment. Go get you some!

    First 3 star review in my life, got a Denver omelette. Eggs weren't whipped, shells in the egg, bacon/ham tasted like crispy cardboard. Also got another soft scrambled veggie burrito for my partner, that one she said she liked, it was better than last time! Decent value for food ($24 for both things) + Awful omelette + above average burrito = 3 stars Second chance for this place, 3rd time won't be the charm and won't happen again...

A nominal wait, the meat were freshly sliced, and assembling the sandwich with plump & crisp vegetables, it was worth every minute of delay. The cashier was friendly & a pleasure to deal with, too.
