The Story of Little SON

It started with a love story—one that began at South of Nick’s, where bold flavors and warm hospitality met the golden coast of Southern California. In that sunlit space, the team (literally) behind Nick’s Newport Beach found inspiration to create something new—something a little quicker, a little brighter, and just as full of heart as the original.

Little SON was born from that spark. A love letter to the everyday—early mornings, busy breaks, and quick bites shared between moments. It’s where Mexican flavors meet California ease, where your burrito feels handmade just for you, and every bite carries the same heart and craftsmanship you’d expect from the Nick’s family—only faster.

From our house-made grab and go salsas to our signature tacos and family dinner inspired quick service, Little SON celebrates simple done beautifully.

Welcome to Little SON, we look forward to serving you soon.
