Mighty flavor for the small tacos...they really did a good job packing in all the meat and other goodies they could without it overwhelming the tortilla. On a Saturday night after 10PM, it was a good meal and more filling than one would imagine for street tacos not sold by a street vendor. Very flavorful for a brick and mortar shop! I have to thank whoever brotha was working that night (had tattoos). The 7-Eleven next door is very rude in terms of who can park near their shop and oddly have been "allowed" by whoever to designate one singular parking spot as their own (with barely visible, small printed white paint on the ground saying "7-11 Only"). As me and my friends had planned to dine-in, the brotha at Nikos came out and asked, seemingly quite flustered, if I could move my car. He was clear it was not him asking, but due to 7-Eleven and also offered a free soda to apologize for any inconvenience as me and my party had then decided to just order take out instead (there was no other parking). As I was about to move my car, one of the workers from 7-Eleven had came outside which, once again, the brotha working at Nikos told him that I was "okay" and was moving my car. Whoever is instructing their 7-Eleven employees to be bouncers of their storefront parking needs to do better...especially when people were parked outside your store eating in their cars saying, "These are the best quesadillas I've ever had." Needless to say, Nikos Tacos=5 Stars 7-Eleven Next Door=1 Star. I'll plan to go back to Nikos if able to in the near future. Especially since it seemed like such great energy on the inside. read more

Nikos Tacos - Chicken Tacos - Tacos Near Me - Roseville Ca, California

The last time I was at Nikos was when they were in West sac. It was prygood but out of the way for us so we never went back, but I noticed they moved to Roseville, we are in Roseville often so we immediately decided to check out the new location. So glad we did! Their zip tacos are on another level! With food prices being high every day, a $5 taco often disappoints, nut not at Nikos they are worth every discontinued penny, crispy, cheese everywhere, and packed with meat. And now that it's a better location for us we are going to add this to our rotation. Also this is a night and day location change, the one is west sac was a little rough, it added to the ambiance but seemed a little sketchy. This new spot is bright and clean, only thing I would change is to have free chips and salsa, that's a big deciding factor for a lot of people read more

The food was delicious; however, the prices are far too high for Roseville, especially for such a small hole-in-the-wall establishment. Unfortunately, what truly ruined the experience was the customer service. Treating customers with respect and appreciation is what brings people back, and this place completely missed the mark. The staff came across as dismissive and unprofessional, making us feel more like an inconvenience than paying customers. No matter how good the food may be, poor service leaves a lasting impression and not a good one. Based on the experience alone, I would not return or recommend this establishment. *The main reason I decided not to post the pictures of our food! read more

Tacos so good we went back the next day. And the Horchata was nice and cinnamony. Lady at the counter was nice and friendly. And the order didn't take long. The inside area is a little small, but they have several tables you could eat at. We usually wait at a table and take our food to go. read more

IG Style Burrito [Roseville CA] I have been meaning to visit Niko's Tacos since seeing the sign go up. It was previously occupied by a takeout-only Chinese restaurant. I finally made it here on National Burrito Day! Naturally I had to order a burrito! LoL! I ordered the steak burrito "IG Style" ($0.55 extra) and dined in. First of all the burrito was huge! Presentation was pretty and quality was great! The IG Style is where they embellish your burrito with Cotija cheese and crema drizzle. Well, that burrito lasted me for lunch and dinner... delicious and flavorful. Friendly customer service too! They are open late until midnight from Tues to Sat so when you are having late night cravings don't get your tacos at Taco Bell, come here for tacos instead where the challenge you'll be asking yourself is "Street tacos or Zip tacos?" Parking is very limited. Niko's is next to 7-11 on Cirby Way. Review #4009 read more

Highly recommend getting tacos from here if you're in Roseville. Get them to go. I personally liked the street tacos more than the zip tacos. I got all 3 meat options. Shrimp was my favorite, followed by chicken then the steak. The street tacos are small though (4in) so you might need to order at least 4. read more

Well, at first you taco stand right next to 7-Eleven, which is a bad sign. Secondly, the lady taking the order was kind of mean. Third, this is gotta be by far the best tacos I and my wife have ever had. Not gonna lie, it was so good we had seconds to go. I had street tacos and my wife had regular tacos. bomb.com we will be going back for sure! read more

Well I've been hearing about the taco shop in Roseville that has been getting a lot of hype on Yelp-in fact they are ranked #9 nationally for taco shops on Yelp,which is just wild to think we have a taco spot so well regarded,so was feeling tacos so my daughter and I headed straight for Nikos Taco shop in Roseville. Driving there I almost drove past it,was truly a blink and you will miss it spot,located in a shared parking lot with 7-11,my advice,once u see 7-11,pull up-u have arrived.Its a smaller parking lot but we did find a spot right away so parking was no issue for us. When we walked in,it truly was a bare bones minimalist experience,they aren't trying to knock your socks off with over the top decor or elaborate shiny objects all over the walls-this place stands on its food quality and I'm here for it-I will take my restaurants focusing 98% on food quality and 2% on decor all day everyday-it's great. This spot has a walk up counter to order food right when u walk in-they have a pretty straightforward menu display right at the counter-all pretty simple.The woman taking the orders could not have been more pleasant-asking us if this was our 1st time there and then going on to explain the menu to us,she was very nice. This place is known for their "Zip Tacos" which are basically tacos with a cheese skirt on the outside,coated in cotija cheese then draped with sour cream-sounded amazing-I had to try it. We decided to go with a few items,though I'm a sucker for any place that offers Shrimp and Steak combo for tacos and burritos ,so once I saw that I was all in.I ordered 3 Zip Tacos ($5.95/each) and a Burrito($16.00) with "IG Style" which cost an additional ($0.55) which basically gave it the cotija/sour cream treatment. I don't consider myself a hype guy,a lot of places I find are very good at making social media reels and really hyping up their spot.I also consider myself a crazy over the top taco snob,even more so a burrito snob,based on my previous life before Yelp I spent time as a Sacramento burrito reviewer,I will even admit walking in I was ready to scoff and call this place all hype-I was ready for that-but darn them if they didn't pull this off,these tacos they got here were out of this world excellent.The flavors,the seasonings,the freshness of the ingredients,straight perfection.That 1st bite threw so many flavors at me,it was overwhelmingly good-I truly love their tacos. Burrito was pretty great as well-the Shrimp Mix with Steak was so tasty and so filling I had to bring half of that home,which the wife destroyed and immediately told me I have to take her to Nikos asap-she enjoyed it that much and that was just leftovers. My daughter had the horchata,which she immediately proclaimed was the best horchata she ever had,but she may have been a victim of the moment because she declared the tacos the best she has ever had as well, she went to college in SoCal,so she knows a thing or 2 about tacos-so I took that as very high praise. In closing,I must say I'm so happy I made it out to Nikos Tacos and can honestly say they have earned every bit of their 4.8/5.0 rating on Yelp-they have found a unique taco offering in a crowded market and I'm so happy to have this place in my immediate area-I plan to go back to Nikos as soon as I can-can't wait. PS... A special thanks to "Belinda C"-a fellow Yelp Elite Squad member who left an amazing thorough review of this place before I did and mentioned the availability of grilled onions on these tacos-that was a great tip and one I recommend-added a great flavor boost to an already flavorful item-thanks Belinda C. read more

Nikos Tacos is known for its Zip Tacos. Zip is the name of the kind restaurant owner who let Niko use his grill to set up a pop-up kitchen. Meat Choices: * Chicken * Steak * Shrimp * Shrimp Mix (with Chicken or Steak) Street Tacos use 4" tortillas. Zip Tacos use 6" tortillas. Monterey Jack cheese is fried up on the inside edge of each taco, like a cheese skirt. IG Style means the outside top of the tortilla is sprinkled with Cotija cheese and drizzled with sour cream. All menu items, except the burrito and breakfast jack burrito, come IG Style already. Because burritos are handheld items, the default is not to put stuff on the outside, so there is an upgrade fee for IG Style. Toppings include: * Cilantro * Onions (default is raw, but you can request grilled) * Salsa, Green or Red * Monterey Jack shredded cheese * Cotija cheese * Sour Cream I heard Niko confirming several orders for 4 to 6 tacos, likely street tacos, but if you have a big appetite, maybe zip tacos. I probably would order 3 zip tacos or 5 street tacos. Shrimp is my favorite, but Steak and Chicken are more popular. The first time I visited late at night, Chicken was sold out. I preferred tacos with a single meat over the Shrimp Mix with Steak, which had more steak than shrimp. Two types of salsa: * Mild green salsa (tomatillo, cilantro) * Spicy red salsa (serrano peppers) I prefer the milder salsa. I heard one longtime customer wishing for mango salsa to return, but Niko needs to develop his own recipe. I recently watched Season 36, Episode 7 of "Beat Bobby Flay" where the Food Network chef made a mango salsa. It had similar ingredients to Chef Rick Bayless' recipe: https://www.rickbayless.com/recipe/mango-avocado-salsa/ Niko is a friendly, personable, and motivated guy. He originally drove a food truck out to Atlanta, Georgia to start a new life, but the pandemic put a damper on his plans. To show he understood or anticipated what the customer wanted, I kept hearing him say, "I got you." Small restaurant with a few tables. It can be a bit chilly and windy by the front door. One handicap accessible restroom. Niko's opens early at 9 am and closes late at midnight Tue to Sat. Closed Sun and Mon. It's located on Cirby Way in the same plaza with 7-11. Small shared parking lot. I think there is street parking on the nearest cross street. read more

The wife and I stopped by today for lunch off of a friend's recommendation. My friend suggested the Zip tacos. Great recommendation. These were so delicious. I ordered 3 but I seriously could have eaten 3 more. The wife got the state tacos. She said these were really good as well. Well seasoned. She also got a side of Mexican rice. Very delicious. Prices are very affordable. We will definitely be back. read more

We tried Nikos Tacos in Roseville after seeing a lot of hype on social media. Overall, it was an average experience -- not bad, but nothing especially memorable. We also visited on a day when it wasn't busy, so service was quick and easy. It's a decent spot if you're looking for something fast and convenient to grab and go. The food was okay, but it didn't really stand out compared to all the attention it gets online. Worth trying once to see for yourself, but it didn't fully live up to the hype for us. read more

We stopped to place a to-go order, to enjoy a nice dinner before sunset! We ordered the following, Chips & Salsa, Horchata, Zip Tacos with Steak & Chicken, Zip Tacos Shrimp Mix and Street Tacos Shrimp Mix. Cheese dusted tacos are bae and these were flavorful! Our family of 4 enjoyed the horchatas and tacos, nice dinner at the park! My favorite were their Street Tacos, perfect size and I really love the corn tortillas!! This popular Mexican restaurant was rated #9 on Yelp, so you should definitely check it out! Busy, but great service! This small business sells the local Cookies by Uriah here too! I'd recommend the Strawberry and Vanilla Salted Caramel! SYOY! :-) *Song Credit: La Decisión by Federico y Los Pájaros read more

Nikos Tacos - Horchata~ Homemade daily and delicious, we got 2! - Tacos Near Me - Roseville Ca, California

Not to be confused with Nixtaco down the street- Nikos taco with their simple menu and space is an outstanding option for a quick dinner, lunch or post club late night stop. In our post Covid world I feel like business hours have hugely decreased- this place is open late so that's a huge plus in my book- Last Friday night we were home late from a football game and just hadn't been satisfied by the snack bar. We did a late night date night and headed to Nikos about 11pm for some tacos. There were about 3 other parties there but we were helped right away- they explained the questions we had about the menu and were fast and polite- Food came out at a reasonable rate and we sat and the car and people watched while we passed the time. At 11pm on a Friday night, it was like dinner and a show- very entertaining. This spot is a winner for sure read more

Nikos tacos is said be on the top 100 list for best tacos on yelp. I wanted to see a spot that warranted such a claim. We got the following: asada/chorizo zip tacos, asada street taco, and asada quesadilla. I never had a zip taco before, so it was an interesting setup. I think the items overall are good flavor wise, they don't skip out on the protein that's for sure. However, I didn't get wow factor. The side salas were solid, not spicy. I think overall Niko's is a good spot, I would for sure go back. read more

Customer service: 5/5 Food: 4/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Overall: 4.5/5 The service was great. Niko is a really nice guy and very kind and polite. I got the Steak & Shrimp Tacos which were delish!! Probably the best tacos in that area. The green salsa goes crazy!! Put that on everything. The beans and rice were cool, I do think those could be a little better, but I also normally get cheese on mine and this time around, I was with someone who doesn't do cheese, so that may have been the reason. But nonetheless, will I doubleback?? Yess indeed! read more

Yum! I had a class out in Roseville so I wanted to try a local spot for lunch and stumbled upon this spot. Don't let the location fool you... it's in a tiny little parking lot next to a 711 but the place is spotless! Super clean, and worth looking for a parking spot! I ordered 3 zip tacos... the gal at the counter loved the chicken but said the beef was super popular so I had to try both. Wow! These were so tasty! The beef was my favorite, super flavorful... it was seasoned perfectly! The chicken was good too! Also seasoned well but Ry beef was a tad better. The host was very kind everything was made quickly. It was a great experience all around! read more

I'm a fan of simple places that make you feel welcome & feed you well. This out-of-the-way spot is located next to a 7-Eleven. It's a small, modest space with 4 tables, but not cramped. The dining area was clean & well-maintained. Festive music played in the background. At the time, the restroom was out of order. We came on a Friday around noon before business started to pick up. The lady who helped us was so amiable & sweet! She was patient with our menu questions & we felt her hospitality throughout our dine-in stay. Our eats-- Shrimp Mix (with Steak) Burrito with customizations, IG Style Shrimp Mix (with Steak) Zip Tacos Chicken Zip Tacos 1/2 Rice, 1/2 Bean side We also picked up a no bake peanut butter cookie (oowee goowee s'mores flavor) on a side display for $3.50. NOTES: "IG Style" means getting sour cream & cheese topping like on the Zip Tacos "Shrimp Mix" is getting shrimp with either a steak or chicken combination The proteins were tender & flavorful. The steak had a zingy acidity. The Zip Tacos had both melty cheese pull & crispy cheese bits. The onion was very mild & added a nice crunch. The rice & beans weren't impactful in taste, but were still homey & comforting. The salsas were appetizing. The red had a yummy spice kick, while the green was bright & fruity. These were some good, hearty eats that we happily stuffed our faces with. The whole experience left us nicely satisfied & looking forward to returning. read more

Small menu at the cashier. Clean basic room with just a few tables and chairs. And the food is muy sabrosa! (Delicious). Met the man himself tonight. He was super busy writing down the phone orders for to-go customers. Welcoming attitude. Bambie and I ate Zip Tacos of steak and shrimp. I have the big steak burrito bowl. Chips and two small cups of pico de gallo cost just $1.99. Sure why not. I drank a bottle of guava Jarritos soda. Perfect choice for the meal. This is cheap eats of very high quality. Stuffed to the gills and still brought home 1/2 of the burrito bowl and the pico de gallo. Looking forward to finishing them for breakfast. read more

Delicous food and friendly service. Hubby and i have been here 2 times now. First time was on a saturday night, and second time was sunday early afternoon. We love tacos and burritos and eat them often. We were excited to try this place based on the yelp reviews. We ordered: - Steak burrito - Cali steak burrito (not on their menu but the guy at the front was SO nice and accommodated my request of adding french fries to my steak burrito). - Zip taco (steak). Holy cow! EVERYTHING was delicious. And the best part - the burritos are BIG. The steak is savory and tender, the rice and beans are added at a good balance. Also, i am a BIG fan of their zip taco. It was crispy and fresh, with lettuce and sourcream on top, and crispy cheese inside. Their red and green salsas are pretty good too. I firmly believe we'll be back some more. Thanks for making such delicious food. read more

Great food! We got three tacos a piece, and they were fresh and tasty. They were pretty tiny, lol, almost like samples. But, they tasted good!

I had a concerning experience with this business. I placed an order and waited while a group ahead of me was ordering. To avoid my food getting cold, I politely asked if I could pay since my order was already prepared, and I completed payment without issue. The following day, I received multiple calls from the owner accusing me of stealing and speaking to me in an aggressive and inappropriate manner, including using profanity before hanging up on me. He then text me twice after! I was genuinely surprised by the escalation, especially since the situation had already been resolved in-store. Based on this interaction, I would be cautious about how customer concerns are handled here. read more

Hands down the best tacos in Roseville! The steak Zip tacos are out of this world -- easily the best tacos I've ever had. The chicken street tacos are packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and taste incredibly fresh. Every ingredient feels like it was just prepped minutes before serving. My homie got the combo burrito IG-style and it was a total showstopper -- huge, loaded, and absolutely delicious. The shrimp mix quesadilla was another winner -- cheesy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The food always comes out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. You can really tell that Niko, the owner, takes pride in every single creation. He's super cool, welcoming, and you can feel the positive energy the moment you walk in.

Weird location. I would have never known it was a restaurant as it is next to 7-11 and seems like a laundromat should be there. We walked in and we were the only ones there. The place was immaculate. We ordered zip tacos. All the different meat types. We also ordered chips and pico (pico does not come with the chips and you have to pay for them both, which is not typical for any Mexican restaurant or taqueria I have been to). We received our food quickly and were offered extra salsa if needed. They were quick to help. In all the tacos all tasted the same. You couldn't really tell the difference even with the different proteins. They were good, but not sure I would go back read more

5 stars Yelp? ...Really? Nah. I found this spot on here a while back & decided to finally stop by. Walked in, and smelled...nothing. For a place that sells these "amazing" tacos, there was zero aroma. Anyway, I ordered the steak & shrimp zip taco, and a horchata to go. Food was ready shortly after, and once I got home, I opened the box and noticed there was no salsa provided (even though he had asked me if I wanted mild or spicy). Food wasn't bad necessarily, just very okay. A bit bland & a bit soggy. Horchata was good. Also, I noticed on my receipt that there was an 'admin' fee. Not sure what that is, but I'm wondering if this a way to discourage cards & steer towards cash? Overall, not sure I would return, and if I'm in that area of Roseville again, I'd rather go to Nixtaco down the street. read more
