What an absolute gem! Cute little cafe that packs a punch of flavor in their food! I had the opportunity to try the honey chili taco and let me tell you: I’m still DREAMING of this masterpiece. The pork had a nice crust on it, but it also was so tender it melted in your mouth. It was a little spicy, but the honey gave it some nice notes to finish out the bite.

Service was great and the woman at the register gave me good feedback on a couple tacos I was in limbo with. It was also served quickly.

My only regret is not getting a second or a dozen to bring home with me. 5/5!

First time in Paonia after going to Black Canyon and found this gem. When I told the owner it was my first time he was genuinely excited to help and was very welcoming. The food was the freshest I’ve ever had and his recommendations were so delicious I savored every bite. Do yourself a favor and get the nectarine pie after some tacos!

What a unique spin on some classic Mexican dishes! Absolutely amazing quality combined with some amazing flavor combinations. Everything I've tried is delicious, it's definitely one of those places that you want to eventually try everything on the menu. They also sell great soda pops, the birch beer is quite similar to root beer, but quite possibly better.

Top is the rabbit rangoons, they were hot and fresh and oozing with flavor. Not like your average rangoon. To the right, the special agua fresca, non alcoholic and not too sweet but so refreshing. The tacos are the bubblegum plum carnitas and honey chili pork. I loved the bubblegum plum carnitas, crispy carnitas with the bright plum sauce. I enjoyed the honey chili with their pear salsa. All the salsas are worth a taste just beware of the yellow one, it tried to burn a hole through my tongue! Haha I finished with an apple/apple butter palleta and it cooled my tongue off and was so fresh and tasty. The service was friendly and the options a plenty! I hope to get to eat here again someday. I would recommend!

Love this place! Super yummy. Best chicken Quesadilla ever and the sauce with it is amazing.

This place redefines gourmet tacos with fresh ingredients. The fact that it does so in such a groovy small town is even more impressive. This was the first time we found nido’s open and we came in for lunch/pre-game margaritas before catching a show at big b’s. All of the food, hospitality, and vibrant polychromatic atmosphere rocked our socks off.

Sometimes when you wake up, the sky is dreary, and you wonder why you continue the routine of work, home, sleep, and repeat...

Nido has changed these existential questions in my life. I used to wonder if it would be some terrible sandwich or cold leftover I would be placing in my mouth to merely press my jaw together and swallow the mush into nothingness.

Nido has me saying "NO MORE!". Their tacos have been life-altering!

Now, when the doldrums occur I dream of chimichurri beef or their jerk chicken tacos. I am quickly snapped out of my funk back into the joy of existing in Paonia.

Clearly, thinking about their menu puts me on a positive path, but eating it brings me near nirvana. I've been visiting weekly and I've never had a bad item on the menu; it is all amazing!

From the tamales to the tacos to the desserts, everything tastes flavorful and fresh. You cannot go wrong. The jerk chicken, bubblegum carnitas, it's all stellar! The beverage selection is phenomenal, and it feels great to support local growers and producers.

Thank you for making the greatest, comforting Mexican food in Western Colorado :)

So delicious! We got the rabbit rangoons & tacos. Everything was perfect!

Visiting from dc and these are the absolute BEST tacos and tamales I’ve ever had. Service was fast, friendly and very helpful with making decisions. She was also very helpful with pointing out cool things to see in the area during our stay.

Visiting from Chicago and it's so hard to find great places to eat. This place checks ALL the boxes. Fun atmosphere, great service and the food is Ahhhhmazing. Had cauliflower and zucchini tacos which had creative complex flavors. We also had the rice balls which had a beautiful sauce and pickled slaw. The portions are a good size and you will feel like you are eating one of the best tacos in your life. I wish I lived here I would go every week.

Some of the best food in the area. Atmosphere is beautiful put together. Love all the bright colors of the setting and the food.
Staff is very helpful and friendly.

Gem! I've been a Nido fan for many years. Everything is scrumptious. There's much attention to detail on flavors, and meats taste like they've been carefully spiced and slow cooked. My favorites: bubblegum plum carnitas tacos, pineapple pork tamales, rabbit rangoon, honey chili pork tacos. But you can't go wrong with other options.

Was in town for a couple of weeks, and ended up eating here several times. The tacos are amazing, the sandwich I had was just as good. The staff is great as well!
Also, don't miss the peach / cherry pie!

Stopped for two different vegetable tacos. They were amazing. Cute, authentic Mexican!

Fantastic taco fusion! Ordered the jerk chicken, chimichurri tacos and the adobo tamale and all had excellent taste combinations. Highly recommend

Great tacos, good veggie selection (and meat). Kat on the counter was very accommodating to our needs!

Creative Mexican fare, with traditional flavors and local ingredients. Love the tortas!

great tacos with a unique flair. plus all sauces are made in house!

fun vibe and a great spot that has local ingredients:)

I hope this restaurant can make it here. Truly one of the few spots I can recommend here in Paonia.

Stopped by on a motorcycle trip for tacos. Best tacos ever. Also served with beans and potatoes that were a delight. Great service and the chief stopped by to make sure everything was to our liking. Highly recommend.

I really love this place, food was amazing, is quite different than regular Mexican food, you must try, good flavor and service
