Great tequila selection! We never make reservations and always get sat pretty quickly. Even if it’s busy. Love the vibe here. The bar is great. The food is super tasty. It’s all outdoors which is awesome and different. Parking kinda sucks across the way in a dirt lot but at least there’s security watching the cars. I’ve been here a handful of times. Never disappointed! Staff is great too!!

The food, drinks and atmosphere here are amazing. If you come here on a sunny day, you’re in for a great time. The customer service here usually is not the highlight. However, today a guy by the name of Craig was helping me and damn it was some of the best service/help I’ve had in a long time. Dude was attentive yet knew how to give space and allow you to enjoy the nice atmosphere. I highly suggest you come here and request him. Super cool down to earth dude and he made my time here enjoyable and relaxing. Will be back soon THANK YOU CRAIG

If there’s one thing Nido’s Backyard excels in, it’s their backyard, where all of the dining tables are spread across a sprawling area shaded from the Cali sun by all sorts and sizes of umbrellas. It’s a colorful outdoor environment that encourages you to enjoy the warm weather as you wait for your meal and linger in the cool evening long after you’ve finished your food. The service was excellent—our waiter was friendly and helpful in terms of providing a wealth of information about the dishes and their ingredients. My wife and I started with the Papas Pasadas from the ‘Small Bites’ section of the menu. These were lightly fried Yukon potatoes that packed a flavorful, smokey punch each time you bit into one. Knowing that I was plant-based, our waiter offered to swap out the kefir crema for cashew crema. This dish was definitely addictive. For entrees, I had the vegan version of the Quesadilla de Calabacitas y Flor de Calabaza—a lightly cooked corn tortilla folded over a mixture of seasonal veggies and served with a side of a zesty, salsa roja. I also had the Verduras Rostizatas taco plate—two uncooked corn tortillas filled with roasted veggies, including beats and eggplant, each topped with a generous slice of avocado and a sprinkling of fresh pumpkin seeds, with a side of refried black beans and rice. My wife had the Carne Asada taco plate—grilled steak, pico de Gallo, and caramelized onions—which she enjoyed. Although not the quality of truly authentic Mexican cuisine, Nido’s offerings were innovative and tasty.

Delicious food and drinks. We got the Carajillo and Torementas Tropicales during happy which we both super unique and strong. For food we tried the esquite for an appetizer, and the quesabirria and Baja California fish tacos. Everything was 10/10. Super tasty and super authentic. I would come again.

The quesabirria really hit. And the iced horchata coffee was amazing! The space is really amazing too. The desserts could use some work.

Our party had a great experience at NIDO’s. We were celebrating a special occasion and the staff went above and beyond to make it feel extra special.
The food was also delicious. We all shared several dishes. My favorites were the quesabirria and the chicken with their mole sauce. That mole was amazing!
Thank you to the entire NIDO staff!

Our group really enjoyed this lunch spot! Really cute vibes, friendly staff, and great food. The cold brew horchata and agua Fresca were refreshing and the quesabirria and fish tacos were delicious. I will definitely be going here again next time I’m in the area!

We recently hosted my husband’s 40th and our daughter’s 1st birthday celebration at Nido’s Backyard, and it was nothing short of exceptional! From start to finish, the entire team went above and beyond to make our event seamless and memorable.
The customer service was outstanding—every staff member was warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in ensuring our celebration was perfect. The event coordinator was incredibly helpful and detail-oriented, guiding us through the planning process with ease, while our servers provided impeccable, personalized service the entire evening.
The food was phenomenal—beautifully presented, perfectly portioned, and absolutely delicious. Every dish exceeded our expectations, both in flavor and quality.
Our private dining space was stunning—elegant, comfortable, and perfectly set up for an intimate yet festive celebration. The ambiance added a touch of magic to an already special occasion.
We can’t thank the staff enough for their professionalism, kindness, and care. They helped us create memories our family will cherish forever. We highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to host a special event—you will not be disappointed!

nido’s has always been our go-to spot for dinner, drinks, brunch, and a good time. we were stoked when we found out they did weddings and fell in love with the private event space “la plaza” within the colorful, festive, spacious outdoor patio venue we enjoy visiting regularly. we had our ceremony at roberts regional park, and then went to nido’s for the reception. from the luscious plants decorating the space to the high quality food/drink service, we couldn’t have asked for more. jenny – nido’s event coordinator – was communicative and transparent about pricing throughout, and very responsive to all our questions. they even let us use their some of their older chairs that we preferred–the restaurant had switched out older chairs with new ones due to quality concerns but they met some of our guests needs’ better (fat folks – wider seats). all our vendors were also pleased with the collaboration and had what they needed to succeed (dj tech stuff, table, etc). for an all inclusive bar, dinner, apps, cocktail hour, late night snack, and desserts, nido’s was a great value! highly recommend.

Ordered the steak and fish tacos. They were both delicious but the fish was much bigger than expected. I also got the habanero sauce on the side and it paired well with everything! The drinks are very strong so take it easy
