Walking into Don Nico's Mexican Restaurant was like entering a fun family home. It was warm and…read moreinviting with music playing subtly in the background. I was promptly greeted by the hostess and, upon being seated, the friendly waitress. The waitress was great the entire time! Attentive, helpful, and quick with her service. I ordered the enchilada dinner with 2 cheese & onion enchiladas - one with verde sauce and the other with the sour cream sauce. This came with beans and rice. While the plate was hot, the green enchilada was cold - both the sauce and the unmelted, grated cheese. I probably should have asked to have it heated; but I was so hungry that I just ate it. The flavor of the green sauce was spectacular with just the right amount of spice -- and when it started to have a bit too much of a kick I simply took a bite of the sour cream sauce enchilada. All in all I will return when I am in town.

My first visit was Aug 20th 2026. I had been looking for a good Mexican food restaurant for quite a…read morelong time and was unable to find one where the food was actually flavorful and made correctly based on the name of this place. I figured they had a Trompo and sure enough they did. I was super excited. I ordere the asada, pastor and tasted the chicken. All were Fantastic. I finally found a really great Mexican food resturant. Each dish has Flavor. The pastor taco had a pineapple sauce that was outstanding and it went well with the green sauce. The Asada was tender and had a really nice beef flavor and the chicken was a delicate flavor and a green sauce. I am forever, a new customer because not only where is the lady behind the counter super wonderful and friendly and nice. Her food was amazing and for me it's all about the food. My tacos were hot not lukewarm not cold hot the salsa were homemade and each was flavorful and different. The meats all had a unique and different flavor was just all around a good place and I'm excited to go back.

When I was in Mexico, My grandpa would make the yummiest menudo but making it so spicy , that my mouth was so numb after eating. This menudo not only had a hint of that, but had the most softest meat i've ever tasted. To top it all off, the kindness the staffed showed me remind me so much of my kind grandpa. 5 Stars isn't enough to describe this authentic mexican restaurant.

We were in town to visit our kids. When folks started getting hungry, we started discussing where…read moreto eat. My daughter suggested this place as it was one of her favs. Everything in Stephenville is nearby, so it took less than 10 minutes to get to the restaurant, The parking lot was packed, but we found a place in back. We were met quickly after entering the front door and escorted to our table. The restaurant is shaped like a big rail car, but it is much bigger. They have cozy booths that go all the way from front to back on both walls. In between them, in the middle, they have tables that stretch the entire distance. I guess this allows them to get the most people inside, and they need the space based on how busy it was. Service was slow and somewhat haphazard. After getting chips, salsa, and water, our waiter took our orders and then brought our appetizers. The meals were prepared and served very quickly. We were starving, so that was awesome. Everyone's meals were just as ordered and were served piping hot. All the meals were flavorful, spicy, and looked really good. Some of the meals were large enough that we took them home for another meal later in the week. Will I return? Definitely.

Meaning it's all pretty basic places to eat out here. Well here's the good news. Don Nico's was damn good. Outside of the building looks pretty drab. Inside is festive, reminds me of Market Square San Antonio. Maybe a little too festive. lol Customer service was great, fast and friendly. We had combination number 1. Two enchiladas, a taco and a cheese taco. It was great. I'm super picky about my enchiladas and they were exactly the style I love. Salsa was actually super spicy and I liked that, chips seemed to be house made were decent. They were not served hot, but that's ok. I'm not saying I would go for the fajitas as they didn't look up to my standards. Might try em later. But I do love these enchiladas!

I don't understand how the awards on the wall were won. Someone should really investigate those plaques. Looks colorful inside but I would never eat there again.

The people here are rude and or don't understand customer service. Not attentive or woking at any pace whatsoever. I probably won't come back. I will say I saw others order burritos and bowls and they were huge and a good price. I don't know I just didn't feel welcomed or taken care of so left feeling a bit mixed on this review.
