Restaurante Nicos, nestled in the heart of Santiago de Queretaro, is a gem for anyone craving authentic Mexican cuisine. Customers rave about the home-cooked flavor of the dishes, which are often drawn from unique family recipes. The restaurant boasts a warm yet simple ambiance, with well-dressed staff providing exceptional service. Many diners highlight the delightful live piano music that enhances the dining experience, particularly during breakfast hours.
The breakfast menu is notably popular, often leading to a 20-minute wait post-9 AM, showcasing the restaurant's appeal. Although reservations are not accepted for breakfast, visiting at other times allows for more flexibility. Customers appreciate the stall value, with quality dishes prepared fresh to order. Feedback consistently emphasizes the excellent prices for the caliber of food offered, making it a worthwhile culinary destination.
From the perspective of a food enthusiast, Restaurante Nicos stands out not only for its regional specialties but also for its ability to deliver a consistent and satisfying dining experience. It’s a place I’d recommend to anyone exploring the vibrant food scene of Queretaro.

Excellent food with a home cooked touch. Simple, scant decor, but an air of refinement from the well dressed waiters and excellent service. Lovely live piano at times. Delicious breakfasts that are very popular and command 20 minute wait times after 0900. Not possible to make reservations for breakfast, but at other times if day yes. Great value. Valet parking is convenient. WC could use a facelift.

I had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant one evening while touring Queretaro. The meal was delicious and the unique family recipes made this dining experience a true experience. The owner is wonderful and her quality and care is exceptional.

This is my fourth time here, in my opinion this is one of the best restaurants in the city, some dishes are the same than the Nicos of Mexico City, here is not busy in labour days, booking is recommended in weekends. This restaurant is specialized in regional food, a must in Mexico!!!!

Their menu is perfect. Last time I had the Sopa Azteca and Chamorro tacos and both were delicious. They offer valet parking and it's nice there is a pianist playing while you enjoy your meal. I seriously love this place. Thanks.
