“ There is a reason El Nicho is always buzzing. I’ve been eating breakfast here for years and it never disappoints. I order the Benny Palta way too often but it’s so good! Today my partner had the raja omelette and he’s still talking about it. Serves with the perfectly cooked potatoes and lovely little salad, you can’t go wrong. Our server Ian was top notch. His English is perfect and he was just so friendly and attentive. One of my favorite spots in Puerto Morelos. ”
“ The place is great, and the location is very comfortable. We had a breakfast there. Food was delicious and portions are big enough. Very cozy atmosphere was there. However, there is one fact you need to know - they will include 20 percents of your bill as tips. Even though you have a choice and tell them to include 10 or 15 %, they will include 20 % and you will pay more than expected. Be ready for that. In all other aspects a very nice restaurant. ”
“ Once again El Nicho did not disappoint. We had the Benny Palta Waffle and a Ham & Cheese omelette. Lots of food, amazing taste, great service and staff. Highly recommended! ”
“ To start off, our stay was 7 days. We had El Nicho for 4/7 days. That just shows how good of a spot this is. The waiters are friendly, and they accommodate as much as they can! I recommend the Belgian waffles and their house potatoes as well as the guava azul! If you like eggs and hollandaise, definitely get the Benny. It was very delicious. ”
“ The best coffee and omelette with sauteed onion and panela cheese, great service, pleasant atmosphere. Though we didn’t have anything from the bakery, it all looked delicious and many others were enjoying baked goods. Definitely recommend and would return if back in PM. ”
“ Beautiful atmosphere and even more beautiful food. We had great service and really enjoyed our breakfast. ”
“ I had brunch at El Nicho with my mom. We sat in the garden area, which is beautiful with colorful murals and some plants. There was a live musician playing, and it really added to the atmosphere. Some items on the menu weren’t available, which was a bit of a letdown, but the food we ordered was delicious and well worth it. The service was friendly too, which made the experience even better. ”
“ We always eat breakfast here when we visit Puerto Morelos. Really good high quality breakfasts along with atmosphere and friendly service. The organic coffee is one the best I had in the Yucatan. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of food - we paid less than 500 pesos for 2 breakfast with coffee and a juice. English spoken and credit cards accepted. Don't miss this place! ”
