Our week has been chaos. We had been traveling for 16 hours across the country by connecting flights that began long before dawn. The ChicjeNuevo sign called to Lady Matilda as we drove to the hotel. The place was not busy, but none of the eateries on that stretch were busy. It looked like fast food but Lady Matilda ordered a plate of chicken, refried beans, and rice that she took her time savoring. 16 hours of road stress and exhaustion melted away. The staff was friendly and warm. The price was fair. The dining room was clean. Highly recommended.

My only gripe is its inconsistent. I always order the plate with corn tortillas. Almost always its flour. The salad is sometimes just some wilted lettuce, onion and a wedge of tomato that has the core still intact. There might be dressing...might not. The pinto beans are fine. The chicken is usually pretty good. Often it seems like its been sitting out for awhile or in a warmer as the skin gets wrinkley . Other times its hot and fresh and moist. Overall its meh. Typical for most places these days. Its fine. Oh also the lime situation needs some serious help.

In 1999 while working at a local Tucson business in the early morning hours, the boss bought…read more breakfast burritos for us all. When he said Nico's, everyone got excited and when is Al's I had never had it, they told me I was in for a treat. They were right. I can still remember that burrito, as big as my forearm, stuffed with egg, potato, bacon and cheese. It was delicious to the last bite. I became a Nico's devotee from that moment forward. As I travelled the world, whenever I returned home to the Old Pueblo, stopping at Nico's became a ritual for me and my family. That's why this review is difficult to write. While the food is still tasty and the portions are sizable, the customer service was dreadful. Apparently my first mistake was to ask about the "Flying Saucer" which is the Thursday special. I was told that it's basically a chimichanga with an open tortilla. It comes in chicken or beef machaca. I asked which the employee prefers, and received a smart Alec response that their tastes are different from mine. My wife ordered a carne asada chimichanga, I ordered the chicken spaceship, my son ordered the chicken tacos. Our friendly attendant forgot to take the taco order and we had to pay for that separately. Apparently Nico's has adopted a pricing scheme where the displayed price is only for cash payment. A different price is charged for credit cards. This policy is explained with a small sign by the register. Nowhere does it explain the difference. Apparently credit cards negate the special. The attendant told me that Filiberto's does the same thing, when I asked about the difference in price of what was charged from what was on the menu. The funny thing is that I don't mind the surcharge. I resent the lack of transparency, and the rude behavior from the attendant. So, thanks for the memories. I don't need the attitude.

The citrus pollo burrito was dry, rice was plain, and even experienced a bone. The birria plate was okay, birria and the warm tortilla were the only highlights.
