Nick's is owned by several Nicks. Nick Nolte, Nic Cage, Nick Kruschev and Nick Elodeon. Mr. Elodeon…read moresays that kids love Nicks because of all the cartoons. I have no idea what that means, but they have good sandwiches. What to get: A Prosciutto sandwich with Fresh Mozzarella added, maybe What else: Expect an upcharge to add Fresh Mozz How to improve: Don't upcharge so much for Fresh Mozz (sigh) Nick's is a little run-down grocery store which sort-of feels like walking into a check-cashing shop or an urban convenience store that just happens to have a wonderful old-school NY-NJ style Italian deli inside. The deli itself is great, and makes a lot of awesome sandwiches for decent prices. As I said, I don't like the weird upcharges for certain ingredients, but so be it. It makes the prices of a sandwich soar from decent to ridiculous. The sandwiches aren't altogether authentic Italian NY-NJ style, but they are very good. I loved the parts of it that I had fresh, however when I had the rest of the sandwich a little later it had gotten extremely squidgy and soggy because they use a regular loaf of bread rather than anythng hard or Italian. Again, makes it less authentic but still very tasty. Despite these remarks, I haven't had a sandwich this good in the Richmond area before, so you should give it a try. And if it were Niche Produce, then they'd only sell unusual and hard to get hipster vegetables and sandwiches. Whereas if it wer Nix Produce, it would close down soon. And if it were Knickers Produce then I would have torn them down a lot more quickly and intensely than I did in this review.

The inside alone is worth the trip. Europa Food Market is the kind of place where the shelves are…read moreloaded with enough product to feel like a real store -- food from around the world, pristine and organized -- but not so much that you feel like you're navigating a Sam's Club. It's curated without being precious. I came for lunch and got a pastrami sandwich that I'm still thinking about. Thick like a textbook, moist, flavorful. I don't think I've ever actually had real pastrami until that sandwich. My only real critique is the location. It sits along Broad Street near Willow Lawn and it's one of those places you drive past a dozen times without ever stopping. Slightly hard to access, easy to overlook. That's a shame because this isn't a casual grab-and-go -- it's a destination, even if the vibe is completely unpretentious. A friend suggested it and it made my day. The Greek radio station playing nothing but 80s and 90s covers of songs I grew up with didn't hurt either. Next time I'm not trying to make just one meal of it.

Came for ajvar, a pepper spread that's absolute gem with crackers and cheese. Normally I get it on…read moreAmazon but wanted o shop local instead. It was surprisingly easy to find out that Europa offers them. The ajvar here has a slight kick. According to the store they put it on their bagels and people love it too. I don't prefer spicy food but it was tolerable. Europa is a no nonsense kind of place. If they have the stuff I need, it's perfect for me.

Taco stop #3…read more Located almost across the street from Taqueria Panchito & certainly walking distance to one of Richmond's fav strip joint is Latinos Unidos. Please note, when u pull into the strip, if your looking for the restaurant, its @ the far left of center... the big place @ right is only a bodega. As typical of all taco stops reviewed thus far... the staff are very welcoming & seems to have 1 person on staff who speaks very good English. Tacos are very good looking, with white corn tortillas. Fixings that come with are a good Verde salsa & a Pico de galo. The beef is seasoned/ marinated nicely & not too greasy. The meat is then mixed with roasted to perfection sweet onion... & mind you I really loath onions other than as seasoning ... for most I'm sure these onions will really make the taco The menu, like the joint down the street, is extensive & has lots of things I'm sure to try at some other point... but for now... you guessed it, its gonna be Carne Asada tacos (beef strips). This place is a bit different than others I've visited in that it appears to possibly have a bar/late night crowd. Complete with flat screens hanging from angle iron strips (I guess they didn't know there is such thing as a TV mount), a projection video system & live sound PA... I'm sure this is as close as RVA is getting to a seedy Mexican Canteena. Loaded with pictures of the dishes & drink options, you might 1st think you wandered into a Chinese food joint but I can assure you their skin is brown. So as for the taco scale, gotta say, this place is close to the top but with only checking out 3 dumps thus far... I'm still reserving opinion. The only thing I'll give you is they are much better tasting (based on 1 visit) than Taqueria Panchito across the street... The fact you don't have to cross 6 lanes of dangerous traffic to get the the strip joint also adds a point to the score.

Give them a try...you won't be disappointed!
