Niko Paleteria — Restaurant in Rowlett

I have been coming for years. Highly recommend for a friendly and delicious experience. I stopped visiting because of a quality concern but it has since been rectified and I’ve enjoyed this place once again.

It’s great to support a local, family owned business. The snacks are perfect treats for any day (closed on Tuesdays). I especially like their elotes. As a corn fanatic, I know the idea of it not being cut fresh off the cob is off putting but let me tell you- it tastes amazing and I sometimes crave it more than fresh cut elotes.

The flans our unbelievable. This is the best flan I’ve had and it so RICH and velvety. The chocoflan which is half cake half flan is one of my favorite desserts of ALL time. I highly recommend. Other desserts are mini lemon cakes with light frosting (the perfect baby smash cake size if you ask me). They also have tres leche and cheesecakes. Im not the biggest fan of the cheesecake but the tres leches looks really good.

I’ve also tried their nachos, elote on the cob, and agua fresco which are all great!

There is available seating inside to enjoy ice cream, fresh fruit, and all of their great snacks. Downside to this place is that they charge extra if you use a credit card but otherwise - great to...

Ok. Ok. Ok. Let me save every one scrolling through the reviews some time and energy. This place is a MUST VISIT.

Shrimp ceviche is on point. It's spicy but flavorful. The shrimp is fresh and bountiful. They don't skimp on portions here. Other places will skimp on the portion but here, the ceviche is the star...not the garnish. Not overpowering, but definitely present and potent.

Shrimp cocktail is very very very filling. Fresh purple onion diced with cilantro and tomatoes set against the smooth avocado chunks give this shrimp cocktail the feel that you're in a coastal Mexican town enjoying this on the beach.

The elote...oh the elote...rich and creamy...spicy and sweet...all come together in the cup of heavenly goodness that is the corn dish.

I love this place. It's family owned and operated. They put their heart and soul into every dish and I could taste it.

Oh yeah, they have freshly squeezed juices...

Ordered 2 large elotes ($6.50 each) the cup was pretty small for a large, the chile tasted very sour and it was so watery. I was offered a refund but thought the problem was the chile so I asked if he could remake without it. Unfortunately, it just made everything taste very bland and it was still super watery. I could not taste anything but corn water. The cheese was different, not sure the type used but it tasted bland and did not melt at all. I appreciate they remade the elotes first, but the food quality was just very poor. I would never try the elotes again. This pic I only took one bite, the Large cup that was already small was only filled about 3/4 of the way. My daughter did get a watermelon paleta and she really...
