    Half of Nickos Favorite
    Diane R.

    We were recommended to try this food truck it is a food truck parked in front of an Altadena drive up dairy. The food truck is tiny but the sandwiches are large! One sandwich is enough to feed to two people or one person over several meals. The bread and ingredients are fresh and tasty.These are great sandwiches. We had a turkey pesto and Nico's special both were excellent. Usually turkey sandwiches are bland but this turkey pesto was very flavorful but messy. We called in our order at opening and the sandwiches were ready as promised.

    This review is easy! This was THE BEST Italian sub I have ever had!!!!! How does so much deliciousness come out of a tiny food truck? And the kindest guys ever working inside!!!!

    Big Philly Roll

    I always passed by this spot! I finally decided to check it out when I was craving for a Philly cheesesteak sandwich. The Philly role was their version. It was awesome, had a lot of meat, and special sauce that they gave me on the side just enhanced its flavor. Only quip was that I wish it wasn't so expensive. But then again, what isn't these days? I can't wait to come back and check out the other sandwiches!

    The veggie sandwich is sooooo good!!!

    The veggie sandwich is sooooo good!!! Nicki's catered one of our events and the presentation was beautiful and ooooh the veggie sandwich is ahhhmazing.

    Half a Nickos Favorite!

    Interestingly enough, I've never been to Nicko's. A friend on the west side told my wife she was bringing over the best sandwich ever and we had Nickos favorite dropped off for us 40 minutes later. Now considering this was made in a food truck, driven 40 minutes, and sat in a bag smelling up the foyer while we exchanged pleasantries and gifts, it's pretty incredible that this still ended being my wife's favorite cold cut sandwich period. I can't say anything about service or ambiance since I've never seen this mythical truck, but the sandwich is fantastic. So quick thoughts... Nickos Favorite - Really well balanced sandwich that's tastes really fresh for a deli meat sandwich. My wife says it reminds her of a Caprese in sandwich form, and the combination of pesto, ricotta, mayo and balsamic combine perfectly. The meat is much less salty than I would expect of deli meats in general and it works with the other ingredients. Both of us loved the bread. Thin, crispy, works really well here. The pistachio shavings were also a great touch. Now the prices may not look cheap, but they actually give you a lot of sandwich. The picture i took here is only half of the order since my wife destroyed the other half while making happy noises. We're actively looking for excuses to begin the area now so i can try new things and she can keep eating this one. Definitely worth a try if you haven't already.

    hmmm was actually very excited about this sandwich but it wasn't as good as i thought it was going to be. we only ordered one sandwich but the guy ended up making two, so we felt obligated to buy both but no biggy. as far as the sandwich goes, the bread was hard and almost stale-like. but the ingredients inside were nice and fresh. i especially liked the sweet, white cheesy spread that was smothered on one of the breads. each sandwich was also kinda pricey coming out to $18

    Philly Roll
    Lisa T.

    Wow! This place is legit and deserves the almost perfect star rating. Nickos Sandwiches is a food truck located in a liquor store parking lot. I'm not sure if you can park where the liquor store is but we parked on the street! We decided to share a Philly roll and Nicko's favorite. We decided on one sandwich off the cold and one off the hot sandwiches section. We received the Philly first and it was terrific! I wanted to gobble the whole thing. I love the bread, meats, veggies, and cheese in this sandwich. It was great but didn't feel heavy like other Philly sandwiches. The meat they used was ribeye and the cheese melted well with it. Next, I took a couple of bites of the Nicko, it felt more on the lighter side and refreshing after the Philly! There was a lot going on but I like it. The bread wasn't thick and the ratio of ingredients was the right amount. This sandwich was big! I also love that they wrap the sandwich in two so it was perfect to share. Note: I would call and put in your order because we were quoted 20-30 minutes wait but it was only around 10-15 minutes. Overall, if you're craving a good sandwich come check this place out.

    Turkey Pesto
    Atineh N.

    Hands down THE best sandwiches ever!! I had guests over last night and told them I was going to order from Nickos (through door dash) ahead of time and let me tell you, they were in awe when they took the first bite lol they loved it!! I've had it before a couple of months ago and loved it from the get go!! My fav is the Turkey Pesto (no cheese) and my hubbies is the Mortadella. I have a picture from my left over from last night that I have taken a few bites of, because they all grubbed so fast, we didn't get a chance to take any decent photos lol If you haven't tried their sandwiches, you should give it a go, you won't be disappointed, I'm telling you, they are fire!!! And customer service is on point and the staff is so nice!! Thank you guys for the amazing sandwiches :)

    Good sandwich, huge serving. Service was fine, they need to change their gloves more often (shouldn't be grabbing boxes of food to bring into the truck and then cooking food without changing gloves).

    The ideal sandwich
    Danielle R.

    Wow! What a perfectly portioned explosion of flavor! I'm not a huge sandwich girly, but I could not pass up this beauty. Nikos was recently at an event I went to and it has surpassed any sandwich expectation I ever had. I chose Nikos favorite and the combo of flavors was absolute perfection. I think I had a half sandwich which honestly was the ideal amount to fill you up and not get that afternoon crash. The bread was next level and every ingredient tasted fresh and crisp! Drooling just thinking about it

The Black Cow Cafe has been part of my life since my college years, so when I came here now, it was always filled with nostalgia and a slowed pace over a calming meal. Opened in 1994 by a father and son, they embodied the community's "Main Street USA" vibe with a neighborhood diner where everyone knew each other, and you were served a soothing homemade meal during breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Did this cafe leave me with warm memories of the past, or did I cower from time's inevitable changes!? PURCHASE(S) Green Milan 16floz Drink ($7.95): My body needed something "green" and this sounded interesting. I thought it would be one of those health smoothies back in the 80s, but instead a frothy hazy light drink with a light grassy aroma and a middling leafy flavor. I didn't dislike it, but I wouldn't order it again. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=Uo_FrA9ezkxhIn4VnwEVtQ Vegetarian Omelette w/Country Potatoes & Sourdough Toast ($18.95): Made with avocado, cheddar cheese, mushrooms, Ortega chiles, pico de gallo, salsa ranchera, spinach, and topped with sour cream, an omelette was also on my eating bingo card. This smallish portion on the healthier side was packed with fresh goodness and fluffy eggs. The country potatoes were plentiful, nicely seasoned, but lacked the outer crisp I liked. The large sourdough toast with creamy butter and preserves rounded out the meal well. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=vDf51dNgOCoyIaPX_AOvrw Fish & Chips w/Coleslaw & Muffin ($17.95): Made with tempura fried Icelandic cod served with jalapeno tartar sauce, and Hawaiian coleslaw, the three fish pieces were crunchy, hot, and thick but needed more seasoning so the tarter sauce came in handy (no vinegar!). The coleslaw lacked much flavor and moisture, and the muffin was moist and warm. This one could've been better. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=dsLbeFauDvvnvXiA6IZhBA [ONION RINGS/STRAWS/STRINGS ALERT - 4.0 of 5.0 STARS] Substitute Onion Rings ($3.95): I replaced the french fries with these, a good side portion with many rings of different sizes, these were hot, dark golden browned, crunchy, and had a tendency to crumble when bitten into while the onion ring (not sweet Maui) pulled out at times. Although they were somewhat oily, they were good, and dipping sauce wasn't needed. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=hBUiwmcGa-pKcL8pRPQipg German Chocolate Cake Slice ($5.95): Solid, thick, and a rich chocolatey flavor, the coconut maple frosting was outstanding! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=WracW1NRal1uz_2MeLeqlw Peach Cobbler Pie Slice ($5.95) + Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ($1.25): A flat-looking thing with a ton of fresh peaches that bursted with cinnamon and spices, but the crust was lifeless. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=iBVwJ4BeHE_DcX1FHAP7qA SERVICE We were greeted by friendly young hosts, seated immediately, given menus, and shortly afterwards our orders were placed. Everything arrived within ten minutes, and we were checked on periodically. All was good - thank you! PARKING (Varied: FREE this instance): I found a spot in the large public lot directly above the restaurant off of Florencita Dr. Otherwise, there were metered spots along the main drag of Honolulu Ave. and all surrounding side streets- 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A packed layout filled with tables inside and along the front sidewalk, the decor was as if grandmothers united and gave it a country farm house appeal https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=HWq31BkepPCR8uWcUf4Gtw with odds-and-ends and knickknacks. There was a coffee bar and dessert counter https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=xA7i9XBuwKW-6sfh0n-vUQ with more space. A minimal amount of natural lighting came in through the front glass windows and doors while a mix of recessed and track electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs nor could I recall any background music over all of the loud conversations. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL It was nice to revisit The Black Cow Cafe, and hoped to return soon. The menu was packed, the food was good, the prices were comparable, and the service was busy but manageable. Plus, I always preferred to support small local mom & pop businesses. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $69.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

We finally had the opportunity to go there for lunch yesterday and it was indeed fantastic! Such a lovely little place!!

The food and service were both great. I ordered the Chicken Caesar Wrap and my husband had the LA Cheesesteak Sandwich. Both were delicious. The wrap was different because it was made with balsamic dressing rather than ranch and had croutons inside which gave it a crunch. The cheesesteak sandwich had nice flavor kick to it.

(My husband had the steak and mushroom penne, friends had the Chimchurri steak and the wedge salad) The negatives: I had the shrimp risotto and found it blah. The serving was very small - i feel like American portions are often obscenely large (and don't like that), but this was much smaller than average and I was still hungry after eating it. The flavor was ok, but nothing to write home about. And the shrimp were very small - what my husband and I call "bait" shrimp. Not the large shrimp you usually get at a nice restaurant. Since i was still hungry, I ordered a cobbler. It was fine, but not great. Texture was a bit strange - not traditional. Probably won't come back. The food is just not that interesting. It's like the kind of food you'd eat at a Midwestern buffet restaurant.

We thought he was a new employee because he had no clue what he was doing. He had NO personality no interest in general. When he first came to our table he didn't say hello or offer us appetizers or a cocktail. He asked for our dinner order. We ordered the fajita quesadilla and a combo plate. Daniel brought me the wrong taco; the taco was mostly lettuce and cheese very little meat ~ I was surprised because when I ordered this in the past it was excellent and done right (Not his fault tho he did write down my taco order incorrectly). He never came back to our table to check on us. When we were done we asked for a box because we had a lot of food left. He looked at it and brought us a tiny box. What was he thinking?? We asked the bus boy for another and he brought us the correct size. It was hard to get Daniels attention; we tried a few times to flag him down but he wasn't looking at us. We watched him a few different times throughout our time there, to see how he was with the other tables. We came to the conclusion that he looked like a fish out of water. Maybe he was overwhelmed even though the restaurant was a little more than half full last night at 5:30. Then he brought us our check while we were still eating! I told him I wanted to order dessert. Again, he had no clue what he was doing. I suggest the management take a look at this review and address this issue with him. Our experiences here have always been great, been coming for years. We love this place but we would never have Daniel as our server again.
