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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 JACKMy 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.

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?

We enjoy meeting friends and enjoying food and drinks at Nico's. We really like BLACK BEAN DIP. We eat it at Gloria's sometimes. Would you please add it to your menu? We are excited to be able to enjoy it at Nico's soon. Thank you.DJS
