About NICO'S COCINA

NICO's Cocina was founded in the Spring of 2006. Our restaurant is named after Joaquin Espinoza’s father, Nicholas. As a little boy, Joaquin remembers spending most of his time over a hot stove cooking with his father. Nico’s passion for creating beautiful mouth watering authentic Mexican cuisine inspired Joaquin ’s interest in opening a restaurant and sharing all those great family recipes.

Just like many Mexican Americans, Joaquin came to America at a very young age to fulfill the American dream. He has worked in restaurants most of his life. His experience, wisdom, and nose for the catering and restaurant business brought him to Carrollton, Texas..

Here they started to talk about food and family. The concept of food, family, and fun was such a great idea, the two friends decided to start Nico’s Cocina. Decor plans were made and permits completed. The result is immediately obvious when you enter the restaurant. Spacious roomy tables with just the right lighting. The back patio is a favorite and adjacent to a full size playground area for the kids.

We hope you enjoy every dining experience at Nico's Cocina!
