The only downside is that they don't take reservations and parking is very limited. Since this spot is so popular, the wait for a table can easily be an hour or more. It's definitely worth the wait, but sometimes spending an hour waiting for a table just isn't ideal. I ordered the carne asada tacos, and they were delicious! We also ordered the churro ice cream cake, which was huge and definitely big enough to share with the whole table. Can't wait to come back!

We were really hoping for a great meal, but unfortunately, the experience fell well short of…read moreexpectations. To start, the chips brought to the table were stale and completely lacked that fresh, crispy crunch you expect at a Mexican restaurant. The complimentary table salsa didn't make up for it either--the flavor was underwhelming, and it had huge, unchopped pieces of cilantro tossed in that were way too large to enjoy with a chip. As for the main meals, the food was just okay--nothing special, lacking flavor, and certainly not memorable enough to redeem the start of the meal. Overall, it was a pretty disappointing visit, and I don't see us coming back.

Been years since I've been here, and now I'm kicking myself for waiting so long!…read more Mi Nidito is a Tucson legend, famous for the celebrity photos of notable celebrities who have visited through the years and of course for the food that brought them here. It's colorful, and welcoming. The service was quick and friendly. Of course the chips and homemade salsa were on the table as we sat down. Our waitress was happy to take our order and she was able to make helpful suggestions about the menu. I had the Burro Deluxe and I was overwhelmed by the size of it. The burro was covered in cheese sauce and it was literally bigger than my shoes! The photo doesn't do it justice. I managed to eat 1/3 of it and the waitstaff graciously provided to go boxes to allow me to eat it for the rest of the week!!! It was great fun looking at the celebrity photos and watching all the massive food plates being delivered. Truly a great experience and glad I returned to Mi Nidito! I will be back soon.

I was not impressed by the lack of flavor in the salsa that came with their "chips and salsa." It just tasted like watered down tomato.

Breakfas Stop is our favorite restaurant for breakfast and lunch. Their prices are great. Go to Jack in the Box; you spend $16.00 for their "special". Yuck! At Breakfast Stop $16.00 gets you a plate of deliciousness. All that AND the beautiful, family reception. Hang around and they'll remember YOU! A nice warm feeling! The cook has been there a long time. He knows all the dishes and cooks them to perfection. You're gonna' love it there! "I guarantee it!" Lolol! read more

The food was just OK. But not for the price in my opinion. Everything tasted descent, their little special menu was very limited but does the job. I ordered a breakfast burrito... Just the burrito with nothing else was about $10... I'd go if I wanted a fast $5 plate of eggs and toast but that's about it. read more

Adults had 1) Denver omelette minus bell pepper 2) mushroom/swiss omelette 3) corned beef hash & egg 4) chorizo & eggs. Everyone enjoyed their breakfast and sides - there were a LOT of sides...bacon, biscuits, gravy, tortillas, toast... One kid had the Pansan and boy are those pancakes huge! The other made his own special of 1 pancake, 1/2 order of french toast and bacon. They devoured their food so obviously it was good stuff. Personally I am always a little leery of getting chorizo at restaurants since most places serve a mild version but Franks did NOT disappoint. The chorizo is spicy and perfect.

It's probably older than most of us. What I got was good, but I think I ordered the wrong things. I got a steak breakfast special no eggs. I added a side of gravy for my biscuit. Most of the breakfast menu has egg dishes. The staff were super helpful and friendly. I thought about doing a piecemeal breakfast to get a nice breakfast I could eat, but that didn't work out. The breakfast steak I wouldn't get again, but it wasn't bad. They tended to under season the food for my preferences. The white gravy was excellent and I will get the biscuits and gravy next time. Definitely a low key breakfast spot to check out.

I wouldn't say that it is top of the line cooking, but it is very delicious and definitely worth a visit this side of town. Parking can be a little challenging, they do share a parking lot with other businesses, but close in, there are not that many spots. Service is always friendly and makes you feel comfortable. Interesting atmosphere with flamingos galore and other things decorating the inside. Gives it somewhat of a party and fun feel. Food comes out in a timely manner even when they are very busy. Prices are reasonable. Give it a try, I think you'll like it. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!
