This sushi restaurant is family owned and has been around since the seventies and the building looks like it too! DO NOT let that fool you. Niki's has the best and freshest sushi and Japanese food around. It is very traditional and you will not find any cream cheese rolls here. They are only open for dinner Tue-Thur 5:30-10:30 and Fri & Sat 5:30-11:30.

This Tex-Mex restaurant is a hole in the wall. I have been eating here since I was a child. Although, since I have been an adult, not as much! If you want comfort Tex-Mex, this is the place for you. I recommend the homemade flour tortillas and the enchiladas.
