“ Don Nico's was great! The atmosphere slaps you in the face with Hispanic culture. The music, decor, colors, table designs, chairs, and pretty much everything else adds to the great atmosphere of Don Nico's. The red salsa is chunky with good flavor and a little bit of spice. The green chile is also good. It's not chunky at all and is a little more spicy than the red. They're actually pretty good mixed together. I ordered the lunch special chimichanga. It's a great size for lunch. It's filled with ground beef, fried in a burrito and topped with chili and cheese. It comes with a side of rice and beans. It is very delicious! My waitress was fantastic! She was extremely attentive, delivered my food quickly, and never let my drink go empty. It was a little busy during lunch time but not too busy. There were more than enough tables for you to walk in and eat right away. My advice is give it a try! I will be back! ”
“ Great food, served promptly, with great service. ”
“ We have been looking. For a good Tex-Mex/Mexican restaurant in the area without any luck. Then we stu.bled on Don Nico's... I was pleasantly surprised that their salsa actually had spice/heat (unlike every other place we have tried in this area). Wend for a basic burrito, just to check out the flavors... It was excellent! And, although they don't have cremosa, they did have a spicy green sauce that is very similar to it. I think we may have found our new regular place... Can't wait to try their breakfast next. ”
“ We had some time before our Campus Visit just down the street at Tarleton State University! The restaurant vibe is very colorful and energetic. Everyone was very attentive and polite. There is a lunch menu and a larger regular menu - something for everyone. We split a single order of chicken fajitas - they were really good, and we couldn't finish them. I'll mention that they have a lot of pieces (not quite shredded). My daughter doesn't even the veggies - picks the chicken - so it makes it hard to do that - but it's fine for an adult ;) We also had enchiladas, flan, and sopapilla. Loved the homemade chips!! We were SO full - we should have eaten here AFTER the campus tour ;) We would eat here again if we were in the area!! ”
“ Always great food and service here. Better ambiance than the South Loop location. ”
“ Excellent food and great service every time regardless of the time. ”
“ Love love all about this place Excellent fresh food at 3:00 in the afternoon, sweet sweet waitress. Delicious, great price ”
“ A favorite of locals. Don Nico's is always on point with friendly service & excellent food preparation. They have a wide selection of delicious dishes including kid friendly and vegetarian options & lunch specials. They do also serve some alcohol but this is a family restaurant not a bar. Atmosphere is perfect for a nice meal with family or friends, when busy it's lively but not overly loud. ”
