Great choice for lunch or dinner. Variety of interesting cocktails. Chips are served with salsas and bean dip. Nice salad mains and the duo of enchiladas with mole and green sauce are delicious.

This is not the first time that we have been at “South of Nick‘s” and it won’t be the last… Each time we go it gets better and better! Our family loves going there. This time we took friends and there were four of us. All of us loved our food so much, and we each got a different meal… also, we always enjoy the take on just plain chips and salsa served whereas they have two different kinds of salsa and black beans dip they serve you at the table. So yummy. If you were looking for a good taco salad, that’s also different from what you’ve experienced before, I highly suggest that as that’s what I (Patti) had. We have never had a bad meal there. Also, the drinks were great, The butter cake was awesome!

The food is ok, we were seated outside which is pretty mundane and ordinary. Food came fast and in general we felt rushed. The bottomline here is portions are very small relative to price, the for was ok, but the value is poor. It's pricey for average food. You will leave hungry.

Food was great. A little loud because we were sat next to large party. I ordered the 2 enchilada plate. I wanted to substitute the cheese enchilada for a chicken enchilada but they wouldn't. And on top of that the cheese in my enchilada wasn't melted.
