    Trip tip sandwich YUM! Delicious.
    T B.

    Wow that tri tip is absolutely delicious- perfectly cooked, very flavorful and everything was cooked fresh. We enjoyed watching Pilates of the Caribbean while we waited for our beautiful fresh food. This place has such a homey feel. Malek was incredibly friendly and hospitable. We enjoyed getting to know him. The juice place there was a nice treat. Thanks! We can't wait to come back! :)

    Very easy to read and understand!!  Wish I had pictures of my daughters tri tip sandwiches but they never gave me a chance

    Always hard to find a good BBQ joint when not In the south. Let me tell you about this hidden gem!!! Small business but Big time service and mouth watering food. I swear my daughters didn't even chew lol . It was two deep breaths and their tri tip sandwiches were gone. Flavor was just right portion was extremely generous just as I was told by the many people whom ate there multiple times. Tri tip is smoked fresh every day and all the meat is halal #1 . Best tri tip sandwich west of the Mississippi.

    The tri-tip fries weren't bad but, again, very little meat.

    He said the order would be :15-:20. Once we paid he said it would be :30. It took :51. We understand he's working alone and there was one person in front of us, but that was frustrating since we still had to drive all the way home before we could eat. Take out only. But the most unfortunate part was that it was not the best tri-tip. We all got tri-tip - fries, tacos, plate and sandwich. All were too salty. Only three of the sides were available out of six. Also, there is no option for meat only. Two of us didn't want any sides. No discount. It's $7.50 for mozzarella sticks but he won't take $1 off if we don't get them. Lastly, portions were rather small for the price. He should've put the "plate" in a smaller container. I rarely give negative reviews because everyone has an off day, but it felt deeper than that here.

    Sandwich was so burnt.

    We really wanted to love this place because good barbecue places are hard to find, but the sandwich was so burnt even the tri-tip tasted burnt. Maybe it was just a one off or a bad day, but still super disappointing when you're so excited to try a new place. We couldn't even eat the sandwich because it was so bad, we had to throw it away. It also took a pretty long time and seemed unorganized. But like I said maybe we just caught em on a bad day.

    Tri-Tip Sandwich yum!!

    What a hidden gem! We had the tri tip sandwich and everything was delicious - the meat, the fries and even the bun. Great pricing too. It can be hard to find but we found out it's in the prep kitchen so mostly food to go with limited seating. They also had mashed potatoes and gravy which was also sublime. Highly recommend this family owned business!

    Baba's BBQ is that hidden gem spot where the portions are legitimately huge -- you will not leave hungry, trust me. I went in expecting solid BBQ, but the tri-tip blew me away. It's smoked perfectly, super tender and juicy, with that classic California tri-tip flavor. Pair it with their chimichurri, and it's next-level -- fresh, herby, garlicky. I could eat that combo every day. The vibe inside is super homey and welcoming -- nothing fancy, just cozy, laid-back, and feels like you're eating at a friend's place. Shoutout to the owner Malik -- he's genuinely one of the nicest guys running a spot like this. Super friendly, chats with everyone, and you can tell he takes pride in what he's putting out. Also try the Bang Bang sauce!

    IG Style Burrito [Roseville CA]…read more 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

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.
