I enjoyed dinner at Nico's the other night. The same as I remember it from a couple years back! The service was great, everyone was so attentive and nice. The food was great, big portions. I got the Chimigorda with fajita chicken and sour cream sauce on top. My friend got chicken fajitas and the chicken was tender and juicy, it fell apart when she ate it. I ate only half and could not move. The location is nice and cozy, perfect for a midweek dinner date with some friends. read more

Cute local Tex mex place. We sat on the patio which is nice and shaded and has cute fountains for ambiance. Server greeted us promptly and we were brought chips and salsa. I ordered a top shelf margarita- loved it. For an appetizer we had BOBs 4 layer dip- didn't look good when it came out but it was delicious. For my meal I had the sour cream FAJITA chicken enchiladas, I've never had fajita chicken in an enchilada and wow it was soooo good!!! Everything was delicious and we will be back! read more

I order takeout or delivery from here from time to time. The order is always correct, food is tasty, and always nicely packaged! The fact that they took the time to carefully arrange my food in a box was amazing. Love this place! read more

While the food isn't bad (let's be honest...you can throw a stick and find decent Tex-Mex in DFW), and many of the menu options are unique and flavorful, the service here is consistently disappointing. From the mediocre bar service to the inattentive wait staff, I'm not sure why we kept frequenting this establishment. Regardless, the last time we tried to eat here (on their patio), we were immediately turned off by a couple at the bar who traveled to the patio area to smoke. Literally at a table next to us. When we asked the staff about it, they told us that patrons could smoke on that side of the patio (despite the fact that this concept is in direct violation of the Richardson City ordinance: https://www.cor.net/departments/health-department/environmental-health/household-hazardous-waste-information/smoking-ordinance). We left without ordering and have not been back. So if you love some good old fashioned lung cancer with your chips and queso, I guess this place would be right up your alley. read more

Came in early to pick up my order. Cadence was very friendly and helpful while I waited. Will come back!

Food tastes great. Best chile relleno I've had! Drinks also were top notch. Service was pleasant. Our server, Mario, recommended dishes and was very attentive. There's also a nice covered patio where we sat. Definitely will be a regular here. read more

Food and service are great! I enjoy meeting our family members there! Always an enjoyable experience!

I honestly don't know where to start. When I got to the bar I asked for a green tea shot, to which the waiter replied " we don't have that in stock". I was completely dumbfounded simply because I'm looking behind him and I see everything he needs to make it. I decided to just get a Jameson shot instead. I eventually ordered the enchiladas ( 1 chicken and 1 beef). I can't tell if it was the tortillas or the actual meat but it was absolutely nasty. The rice and beans were not much better. I now understand why I walked into a completely empty restaurant at 4:00 on a Sunday. Will never be back. I normally don't write reviews but I had to this time to prevent anyone else from wasting their money or time. read more

See all

Love the service staff, but the quality of the food is going down while their prices are going up. They screwed up the kids meal chicken strips and refused to replace it. Their answer was they cans do any better. Later the story changed to they are out of chicken read more

Like the food, but hate they don't play Mexican music in the background. Each time we have eaten there, some rock music is playing and it tends to be very loud. read more

We are frequent flyers at Nico's. Why? It's not the food but it's where everybody knows my name and we have become family. If you want suggestions, I would like healthier options, senior menus, real queso, and let's stop the canned chicken. It's too easy to boil chicken for the tortilla soup. I would love options like the black bean dip at Gloria's or even the jalapeño dip at Chuy's. How about some family recipes or maybe tamales... We love our Nicos family and pray that they can make changes. Thank you Jack, Roberto, Pepe and Sidney...y'all rock... ALSO...can we have ceiling fans on the patio? read more

We eat here at least 1-2 per week. We usually have a great experience. The only reason I'm giving a 3 is because of the server. He was kind, helpful and attentive. Bar drinks took forever. Restaurant was not busy. Food came out wrong. Took forever to remake. Zucchini came out hard the second time and the avocado was not ripe. Such a bummer because it's usually good. Tried to reach out to the restaurant owner, but no contact info on the website. read more

Horrible place, waited 15 min, no waiter in sight. Asked for a shot of tequila. He didn't know how to make it. I didn't tip. He added a $10 tip. That is stealing. Just a horrible *&^^*(F&! experience. Never go back. STAY AWAY! This was on Thursday Jan 25th 2024. STAY AWAY! read more

We were looking for a family dinner spot for a rather big group and Nico's was able to accommodate us! Pepe and Ilene were so awesome and very attentive to us, making sure our food and drinks were on point and constantly checking to see if we needed anything. Top shelf margaritas were so good and the beef fajitas super tasty. We will definitely be back! read more

Others have written about the service here. They are not exaggerating. I've also read the drinks are nice and strong. They are. Chips and salsa were also enjoyable. Service: if it weren't for Jack & Janet, I would have given them 1 star all together. The first two waiters walked right past me. I flagged them for help. They never showed up again. Janet and Jack both recognized me and assisted at their earliest. They were swamped with no busboys. After these two got me seated, one of the first two waiters that had initially walked by me came to the table repeatedly asking me about my service dog. (Spanish guy, and only one wearing a mask.) And if I understood him, he asked if I had a card for him. Someone should let him know that ADA discrimination is a federal offense and a lawsuit. I saw Janet hustling all night for other tables. Being so gracious and kind. Jack, I cannot say enough about his level of service. I wish I could take Jack with me everywhere. Maybe he could train others on how to make guests dining experience an awesome one -- even when the food is not hitting the mark. That kind of service is a dying breed. YHANK YOU JACK My tacos were ok. (I had the chicken which I will not recommend.) Mango margarita did its job without even finishing the glass. Prices are reasonable but based on my experience and others seen here, service is a crap shoot. read more

Went here today for father day and they had an amazing breakfast/lunch buffet! We asked them how often they do their buffet and our server said every Sunday but since customers don't know come that early they might stop doing them. But their food consisted of a taco bar, omelet bar, dessert section, rice/beans, enchiladas (red&verde) , migas, potatoes. Everything was GOOD! Even our waiter was so kind and funny. The restaurant itself was very clean and very nice. read more

I went here last weekend with my family and the bartender cursed like a sailor and the servers argued like school children. Not a family environment. Food was so/so. Never go there again. read more

Nico's is a very nice Mexican spot with a touch of luxe in the inside! I didn't expect it to be so nice but it was very pretty and modern in the inside. The service here was amazing and the good was pretty tasty. The drinks are so strong so if you're looking for a cool spot to get some tasty Tex Mex, drink some bomb margs & have a nice scenery then this is your spot. read more

We go here often...but the wait staff seems burned out... no good eye contact...little communication and certainly no enthusiasm when describing plates and entrees... Roberto is our favorite server here but I won't say the name of the server who poorly served us this past Friday evening Feb 17th. Food always tastes better with an exceptional welcoming staff. read more

Ilene was absolutely amazing . She is the hostess but kept coming to the table and checking on me what a wonderful staff !! Thank you Ilene :) read more

Enjoyed Sunday Bunch, with preteen daughter. 1. Food - Reasonable selection of foods and deserts. The quality of every dish was good. 2. Service - professional and courteous 3. Location - nice decor and kept clean. read more

Good food and service. It wasn't very busy for a Friday night. The margaritas were good. We had the cucumber and Nico's.

To owner: Jessie Romo. Wouldn't call it going well .... We are at your restaurant several times a week. It seems we are WRONG in our thinking that your regulars are appreciated. Do you and your staff dislike us? It is Sat night, hours posted on door show Sat closing time 10pm. We were told to leave the bar at 9:20pm tonight before finishing our drink. Why would we ever want to return? There were other customers forced to leave before us. Ourselves and lots of our friends have been customers of yours for 20 years. Again, why should any of us return? Do you care that we are disappointed? There are other area restaurants and bars do you care if we return or not? In my opinion, unfriendlyness, hours, rising prices and unflavored food will keep causing a decline in business. We don't eat there as often as previously because the food is not GREAT. But the margaritas are ok not as strong as before. Been noticing less and less people at Nico's. Last week, I posted on a FB group page that your cocktail prices and margaritas were good and the large number of comments that followed were NOT positve. You should go visit other restaurants in area Example: Gloria's and Fernando's (standing room only at bar many nights). read more

Nico nico no! We came here for an early dinner and sadly did not enjoy our food. The decor was nice and the service was decent. However, the only food that we found to our liking was the Chips and Salsa. It was very nice that the waiter checked on us and refilled our chips and salsa without a fuss. However when the food came out, it became an unenjoyable experience. Wife had the tacos pastor plate, and she did not enjoy it. The tacos were packed with some kind of super melted cheese, seemed like mozzarella, and she basically was unable to eat it. It also had pineapple, which wasn't the worst thing, but far from a class tacos pastor I had the Nico Special (nico nico niiii!), and overall it was lackluster. The tamale and enchilada were "fine", but the chile relleno seemed undercooked and also was stuffed with this thicc mozzarella cheese that chewed like bubblegum. We didn't want to take the food home so we kind of had to just finish what we could. Sorry, but I don't think we'll be giving the place another shot. 2 stars for the good service and the chips/salsa tho! read more

Waiter named Jack and waiter/sometimes manager Roberto were very unprofessional, rude, and insulting to me over an issue with portion size problem. read more

Had a great service great food. I will be back. The service was excellent, very friendly when I placed my order over the phone. The atmosphere was very chill. I ordered the Bobs Dip it was delicious. I also ordered the taco plate it came with beans and rice. The tacos were delicious there salsa was yummy. You get a nice portion of food for the price. I love this place and it's a small business. read more

I came here for a dinner with the girls on a Friday night in hopes of having an amazing rita and good food. They deliver on some fronts but not both. We started with queso which arrived cold and was sent back. The queso has sour cream and beef inside and the waiter opted to nuke it in the microwave which makes sour cream pretty nasty. The manager passed by so we asked him to get us a fresh one and he delivered. The margarita special during happy hour was discounted but the Ritas lacked enough alcohol to be memorable and tasted like lemonade. I ordered the ribeye for dinner and it came with rice and beans. The steak was marinated well and very juicy. It was prepared medium as I requested and the rice and beans were really good. The beans were borracho style rich I prefer to refried beans. I'd come back for that steak for sure. read more

Great spot! They have daily specials and a great Sunday brunch. Very friendly staff too.

Zucchini stuffed with chicken was wonderful! Service was vert good. Parking. Can be challenging at peak dining times.

I've been twice and both times the wait staff seem untrained. They did not come back to check if everything was well with food or if wanted a 2nd drink. Both times it did not feel welcoming. Waiters Need to work on table Etiquette. One said, What did you say and handed me my drink instead of putting it on the table. Felt like bad service from a small town sadly. When we asked for something he looked up and walked away. Tacos needs vegetable sides. Margaritas was a light pour but ok. Just strange waiters. read more

Like most other Tex-Mex places in DFW, you can't go wrong with this one. But I would like to give special mention to their pico and guacamole - both of which were incredible! read more

Had the taco salad it is wonderful I highly recommend this establishment staff was friendly and the food was perfect

So this was my first time came out with my husband and wanted to give it a try i ordered the dinner enchiladas with beef and unfortunately the ground beef was raw which was very disappointing being the first time here my husband got the chicken flautas which he said was good. The margaritas are not that bad for 3 bucks on wed. It's big disappointment that the food was not cooked. I don't think I will come back. In my opinion first impressions are a big thing. read more

Always always always.... Way too packed for the space they have and always always always, they are out of 2-3 items in the Buffett...this place is a waste of your time I do not recommend this place. Go somewhere else that can accommodate your group. I Won't be back! I've given them the benefit of the doubt on more than one occasion and they have let me down each and every time! Ridiculous to say the least!! Good luck with your business you fucksticks. The whole place can fuck off!! read more

I went here for dinner with some friends on a Friday night. Their chips and salsa were good, the salsa had a nice kick but not to spicy. I started with their Queso Bowl $6.25 but this was just terrible, flavorless and soupy. I got the Beef Fajitas $14.50 for my entree which was perfectly cooked and very tender and juicy. The rice and beans were also bland as well. The server seemed to be in a rush trying to get us to order before we were ready and bringing us our checks a little after the entrees came out. I was thinking about dessert but oh well. Overall I would not recommend this place with so many better Tex-Mex places around. read more

Good good, however, disappointed in the management and lack of concern over an issue we had with a side item. There was a rock in my beans and the manager did not seem to care about me as a customer. We had been there quite a few times after we started eating there, but we won't return. read more

Went there for lunch with coworkers and will not go back. Our waitress was just rude, I don't know why I left a tip. We hsd to ask for everything and she made faces every time. The food was absolutely mediocre, worst taco salad I have ever had. It had flavorless chicken and a tiny scoop of tasteless guac. read more

We always judge a place immediately by their salsa. It was very good. We had the fajitas for 2. They were tasty and tender. They could improve on their tortillas but they were fine and just like any other Tex mex that doesn't have homemade tortillas. The margaritas were great and you only needed one. They were not watered down. The restaurant seemed slow for a Saturday night but service was good. We will be back. read more

This is not a good place to have if you're really in the mood for Tex Mex. our family and friends ate there last Thursday and the overall food experience was poor. For an appetizer we ordered the queso dip which you could totally tell it was basically a knock down version of Processed cheese. I ordered the shrimp cocktail which is described to be six jumbo size shrimp in a spicy sauce but what I got was mini salad shrimp that you could tell was frozen for a long time defrosted and placed in their sauce. My daughter ordered the chicken fingers with french fries. The chicken fingers were frozen and reheated and tasted very old. My wife ordered the brisket tacos and it was very dry. Not sure what my friends ordered but they didn't seem to be pleased either. Would definitely not recommend this place at all. read more
