I ate the best lengua burrito in my life here. Need I say more? As someone who is regularly upcharged for Mexican food in Southern California, and contrary to what other reviewers are saying, I would pay more than what was charged to enjoy this burrito on a regular basis. The lengua was so moist and tender and thankfully cut in thick cubes, perfect with the red salsa, which is a bit spicy. Tacos are also good looking and great tasting. Threw some avocado onto everything at home for a great time. read more

Stopped here for breakfast burritos and were not disappointed. The basic potato egg cheese was fantastic, and the potato egg cheese with bacon was delicious too. Would eat here again anytime we're in Tucson. read more

My favorite Mexican spot. The food is always FANTASTIC. Doesn't matter what you order it's gonna be good. Beyond the food, it's also family owned and operated so you are always greeted by warm smiling faces who remember you and provide amazing service! Can't recommend them enough. read more

Maico - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This place is great! If it weren't for the price keep goin up we would give it a five! It's a small whole in the wall place that is attached to someone's house! Burritos are nice & fat! One is definitely enough to share. No seating inside altho they do have a few tables outside. Only thing about that is that sometimes they have homeless ppl sittin there stinkin up the place. We alwaya get it to go now because of this. Otherwise it's great food & definitely worth a try! read more

I definitely love the prices here 5 tacos, quesadilla, and 2 drinks were less than $25. Double corn tortillas with a healthy amount of carne asada street taco style. Great service, outside seating area. read more

This place is very yummy! I was shocked by the prices , you would think it was a sit inside restaurant.. I mainly go for take out. There are seats for waiting and seats if you would like to eat there... The person at the window did well with my special prep orders. We ordered 5 breakfast burritos and was mad when I asked for more salsa... read more

We were in the area and decided to check out this unassuming little place. You order at the window and can get food to go, or can sit down in their outdoor dining area, which we decided to do. I ordered the veggie burrito, which was tasty and as expected, with beans, rice, guacamole etc. It was good and did the trick. The service was great, prompt and friendly. The little patio, despite being on noisy 22nd, had lovely music playing and festive lights. The tables were clean and monitored. We enjoyed our experience and hope to be back soon. read more

Price was way too high and portion very small. Not sure what happened to them. They used to be a good value. I can't imagine their overhead is huge. They don't seem to want to compete. There at 5:30 pm. Only one there. read more

Best Mexican food in Tucson! Nicest people family owned business. If you are looking for Mexican food this is the place to go.

I really like this place. Until this morning. The lady was not very friendly but that's not even the issue. I just almost broke my tooth on this big bone that was in my california burrito. read more

Maico - This is the bone. I'd actually be more understanding if the lady hadn't been so rude. $12 bucks for a burrito I'd love to not break off my t - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Oh so good darn good relleno Fun old fashioned- old order at the window, super sweet and friendly service, I couldn't decide what to drink and she suggested a very tasty option. Loved sitting on the covered patio, complete with festive lights and other classic Mexican decorations. read more

Maicos is the best stop by Mexican restaurant for anyone, burrito specialist for sure breakfast and dinner they do it best I personally enjoy the california or chimichangas with more including carne asada fries also good gauc is awesome will only issue is there not open later. read more

absolutely delicious!! we randomly found Maico and was not disappointed! Went back the very next day, too.

This place has been in business for many years and I can see why. The prices have gone up, along with everything else of course, but the food is still very good and it's still a favorite place to go. They have a new coffee type menu that I have yet to try but I plan to soon. The food is always consistently good and is made to order. I particularly like their rolled tacos and quesadillas. I don't really enjoy dining outside there, since it is right by 22nd street, but that's easily avoided by doing takeout. read more

We just landed at the TUS airport and the first thing on our mind was breakfast. We stopped by this hole in the wall neighborhood joint and ordered two different breakfast burritos with the hottest chili. The cashier is very friendly and throws in a few jokes. We sat at the outdoor tables and he was kind enough to bring the food out instead having to go back to the order window. The burritos are big and one of the two tasted better than the other. The chili is not super hot like we enjoy it but overall a good choice for inexpensive fast food. read more

Maico - Lunchtime JAN2025 - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Starving after visit to the Zoo, saw this spot on way home and decided Mexican sounds good. Glad we did, super friendly greeting and service as we walked up, clear menu with wide selection, and a nice seating area with plenty of tables in the shade. Our food came out quick, hot and delicious. My Mom saw my taco salad and I thought I was going to have to fight her - "You only wanted a taco Mom" I did share (a little). My taco salad (beef) was fresh on the inside, full of flavor with a crispy shell on the outside - perfect. Wife & Mom loved the taco plate, and completely clean plates will show u better than I can tell u that it was delicious. Reasonable prices, great taste and the future exploring of the menu will bring us back. Last, but not least - Ice Cold Coke in a bottle- it tasted so good after a morning at the Zoo. read more

Since it's within walking distance from our bnb we took a chance and were we happy. Food was cooked to order, the horchatas were delish! Service was with a smile. Definitely go back for breakfast burritos and coffee. read more

This was my first visit. My meal was actually quite good. My dining experience not so much. I stopped by here late Sunday afternoon, after a 10-mile walk along the Santa Cruz river walk. I was tired and hungry and so was my dog. She was resting in my truck while I walked up to the service window. I ordered a chicken enchilada combination platter with a medium Diet Coke (Diet Pepsi is what they have;I really don't care). The woman taking my order said their diet soda was not working (huh? That means all the sodas weren't working) so I opted not to have anything to drink as I don't like the overly-sweet Mexican drinks. This was the first ding. I intended to sit outside as the weather was nice. But I was tired, hungry and now thirsty and decided I'd use the bathroom. Wrong. The unisex room is kept locked and one must ask for the key. Keeping the door locked prevents the vagrants who hang out at the convenience store next door from using and abusing this room. This was the second ding. Asking for a bathroom key from the same person who is busy taking orders is frustrating for both the employee and the person needing to pee and wash her hands after sweating for four hours. My third disappointment was being told that I couldn't have my dog on the patio. I had taken her out of the truck so that she could relax on the cool cement while I waited for my food. The same woman who took my order came up to me and politely told me that dogs were not allowed. I asked her where it was posted. "On the website!" was her retort. Well, who's always online reading websites? I happened to drive by and was impressed with the warm layout and wanted to try this place out. I knew nothing about Maico and don't (and won't) follow them on Facebook. There were no signs posted saying no dogs allowed. THAT was my gripe. Any kind of ban should be posted at the establishment and not just on the website. Some of us really don't follow websites or have 24/7 access to them while traveling. The woman said an offleash dog attacked another dog and that's why there's a ban on dogs. Why not just ban the felonous dog and its owner instead? I'm ok with my dog staying in my truck while I'm eating and the weather is cooperative but I like to know ahead of time if dogs are banned as so many other diners with patios allow friendly dogs. Those are the places I will frequent first. There was only one other table used on the patio while I was there and my dog was too tired to care. My chicken enchilada combo was quite tasty so that made my visit OK. And I would stop by here again, but will park next door as the eight-car lot up front is too tight for pick-ups and this way my hungry and tired dog can bark away at the vagrants next door. read more

Delicioussssssss. I absolutely loved the food here. My group got a variety of burritos, tacos, enchiladas, and more. We all enjoyed our food and the pricing is reasonable. The staff were really friendly and helped us make decisions. I will definitely be back for cheap, quality food. They have lots of seating too if you want to eat there. read more

Maico - Chorizo Cheese Potatoes and Egg Burrito and Carnitas Taco - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Insofar as connecting the burrito dots here in The Old Pueblo Maico is one of the primary spots. The menu has some interesting options. Huevos Rancheros, and Chile relleno burritos. The potato taco plate, standout. This is a review for the vegetarian option- The Huevos Rancheros Burrito. We opted out of the beans because they're cooked with lard. The burrito was still pretty awesome sans beans and the potatoes made up for it. Tortilla had a good texture and the Huevos Rancheros ingredients were fresh, tasty, and there was some kick. Definitely worth checking out. The total lack of ambiance is the ambiance here. It's to go or outdoors seating. I can imagine parking being annoying if it's busy. It's a tight parking lot which is a breeze if you're there when it's not a rush. The service is super friendly and helpful. It's a busy road and comes up quick so be mindful if it's your first time going. read more

Wanted to try this place based on all the amazing reviews but it didn't quite meet my expectation, however, it was still pretty good. Pros: - convenient location with plenty of parking - super fast (order of 3 burritos was ready in 10 minutes) - friendly and helpful staff - lots of choices on the menu so you will definitely find something for everyone. The only con is that everything we got (breakfast, fish and steak burritos) was lacking flavor but maybe it was an off day so I am willing to try it again if I am in Tucson again! read more

Stopped by to get my chorizo breakfast burrito. Still fantastic and tasty. I almost can't eat it all. Well almost :) If you're looking for some sort of sit down place where they're going to serve you, this is not it. It's a hole in the wall with the tables outside. It's a family owned place right off of 22nd and park. If you're near here and are looking to get a quick bite, this is a place to stop. read more

Maico - Chorizo Burrito almost fills the plate. So good - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Ordered 2 Carne Asada Burritos and it's was one of the best we've ever had. The burrito is simple, meat, pico de gallo and beans. Don't mess with their recipe, it's freakin amazing. The service was fast and friendly. Less then $20 for both burritos, so very reasonable. Will def come back!!!!!! read more

This establishment is overpriced and the service is not up to par. It's quite small with not much business. I highly doubt their food is fresh. read more

Don't pass the little brick building with Christmas lights near the corner of Park & 22nd or you'll miss Maico. The service was friendly as we ordered our food and was brought out to us. There were tables you can eat outside. There was limited parking, but you can also park by the 7-Eleven on the side of the restaurant. We ordered the rolled tacos combo (yum), chips & salsa which could've been nachos, chicken torta, and beef torta. The food was really good as we ate it that night. We were already planning trying their burritos next time as we were eating. The only reason I gave it 3-stars was that my husband threw up all night after eating the beef torta. He was the only one that got sick. I'm still willing to try Maico again, but I'm not sure my hubby is.... read more

Had not been here in a while and have mixed feelings on some changes. The chicken on the Tejano is no longer slow roasted shredded and removed the sour cream and cheese. The carne asada also changed but does taste better now but they also removed the guacamole and sour cream in the Cali burrito (which defeats the purpose of a California style burrito!). So all that is left is two meat and potato burritos with a bit of pico de gallo. Also they did hike up the price a bit but the portions did go up as well. Overall, still good food but just different than what it used to be and not so better in everyway. Service and ambience was about the same as before which is still good for a fast casual spot. read more

Delicious breakfast burritos. They've increased their prices quite a bit though so I don't go as often. Love their red salsa and chorizo!

I have been going here since I was little on sundays. Their food is amazing and prices are too! My favorite is the potato tacos. Perfectly crispy with a smooth inside. And their fish tacos are to die for! read more

Fish taco is stellar. Sonoran dog is a 10/10. Birria great flavor. Wish it was soaked. Tad dry but that's my only wish. read more

We're from Oakland visiting in laws here and no restaurants were open early except this one as we left Tucson. Also noticed that folks dont use Yelp as much as folks in Cali. This place just based on their breakfast burrito was soooo damn good! The tortilla was bomb and as someone who doesnt like beans...these beans are hella good!! Definitely one of those spots that feels like a Mexican grandma with a hanging elbow making something so simple tastes amazing. Also the man who took my order was hilarious and kind. Thanks Maico! Cant wait to visit Tucson again for this. read more

I went and picked up chicken tacos for lunch yesterday, and potato tacos today - I may have a problem, and this place is way too close to work for me! The food comes out fast, and it's delicious! Perfectly refried beans with cheese melted on top. The chicken tacos were well-marinated, and so were the potato tacos! Taco shells perfectly crunchy and toasted! Both combos came with a spicy sauce. They offer Mexican drinks like Jamaica and Horchata. They have an extensive breakfast burrito menu, which I'll have to try next! They have an outside seating area that is currently closed due to Covid with misters, so for now it's pick up only! read more

I have this new thing, where the hubs and I try a restaurant/dining establishment we have not tried every other week. We are successful... sometimes and recently so when we drove into town to try Maico. I had it bookmarked... can't remember why but I know I wanted to try it. Ordered a few different items - ALL excellent. Sonoran Dog, Rolled Tacos, Carne Asada Taco combo plate and a Chile Relleno burrito. The guy in the window where we ordered was incredibly nice and friendly, he actually brought us our food. It was over 100 out, and they have outdoor seating only. BUT, they have misters which makes all the difference and we were comfortable. The place was very clean, food came out delicious and hot. We enjoyed it a lot. Even though I am obsessed with finding the worlds best chilaquiles... I have a side project in sampling the worlds Chile Rellano burritos. Maico's was impressive, give it a try if you find yourself here! read more

Lengua (beef tongue) taco is very good, tender, juicy. Cabeza taco is good too. Not that many places has Lengua and Cabeza, I really appreciate that. Fish taco is okay, kinda small. Fries is freshly fried but the oil doesn't taste as fresh, not recommended. Tortillas tasted bought from store instead of homemade, not as soft. It's double layered. Customer service is very friendly. read more
