We were driving through Arizona and we decided to stop for some food. I start looking for restaurants and found this place, I glance through the images of food items and noticed their refried beans has queso fresco on top so I knew they were legit! Walked in right as they were opening and immediately I felt like I was walking into a relatives home, cheerful greetings, that whole, "My casa es su casa" vibe. I ordered a margarita and chilaquiles breakfast, my husband ordered the enchiladas breakfast. Let me tell you, that first bite was heaven. Best Mexican food I've ever tasted! Oh and that salsa had just the right amount of spicy. The potatoes were perfectly crisp, the beans were buttery and rich. The chilaquiles sauce had love. I could taste the love! If we're ever back in the area this will be our spot. They will not disappoint. read more

We have been going to Nanas for approximately 10 years or more. Generally speaking weekly. We have never been let down by the food, service or the abundance of top quality spirits. This family owned and operated home cooking mexican food has lots of love from Nana! We are welcomed as family every time we are there, sometimes we even stop in for chips and salsa and a killer margarita, when we need to feel the homey love Of the family. read more

Came across the place online while driving thru Tucson. What a find. Great food and good service to boot. Tacos were excellent. Wouldn't mind making an afternoon drive from Gilbert just for lunch. Cant wait to return. read more

Excellent menu and alcohol selection. Great atmosphere that is friendly and feels like family. The space is a little small but plenty of tables!! read more

Food was great in restaurant but take out was sub par. Wine was overpriced so order a beer.

So Good! If you are passing this by you are missing out. The barbacoa, pollo en Molé poblano were the best. The caddilac margaritas were killer. Finished off with the churros and rolling our snake bellies out of here. Will definitely be back to Nana's. read more

Nana's Kitchen - Bar area at Nana's. Omgosh, killer margaritas, pollé en Molé poblano was very yummy, and the barbacoa was delishas. - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I dig this place. My husband is notorious for ordering huevos rancheros everywhere he goes. He said that it is quite traditional. Their potatoes is very good as well. Just make sure you go early on Sunday. They close at 2pm. I ordered white menudo. Comes with cilantro, lemon and bread. So delicious. I'm glad I ordered the large bowl. Ordered two bloody Mary's because you know it's Sunday. It's pretty big for the price which is always nice. read more

Nice little Mexican restaurant offering up good food at great prices. Will be back to experience more of this off the beaten path gem. Thank you! read more

I learned about Nana's when we first moved to the Tucson area. Nana and her family make this place the most welcoming restaurant that I have ever been! The kitchen makes Nana's (Yes, there is a Nana) mother's recipes from their old home in Mexico. This is not a Taco Bell but great food and atmosphere. I also have found that Nana's sons, Marco and Javier, to be great friends who go out of their way in educating, selecting and trying Tequilas as they mix the best margaritas in town. It is priced right but the family make it a hidden gem! read more

Tried it for the first time. Over priced food disorganized staff. Either hire more servers or take less customers. Female server had her mask constantly hanging off her nose. Food is very disappointing. No favor what so ever. I been in restaurant business for 45 years and they need to organize service. read more

This would definitely be Zero Stars if there was an option! HORRIBLE customer service and the waitress was very rude! My husband and I got up and walked out! read more

The place was packed when we walked in. We had a high hope that this would be an awesome place since it's so busy. Nobody came took our order after we had been sitting for more than 15 minutes. It took another 10 mins for the chips and salsa were served. It's great that they brought two types of salsa; one is mild and one is spicy. The salsa were great. After 30 minutes later, the food was finally served. I had the shrimp and my husband had chicken. They were both way too salty. So was the Spanish rice. read more

Nana's Kitchen - Shrimp in green chili sauce - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

See all

SALT content of food so overwhelming no other flavor tasty. We told our server, the owner's son, he asked us to come back & give them a second chance. No discount, no coupons. I will not be going back! read more

Visiting Marana from PHX. Nana's is next door to the tap room I was visiting. The menu has so many delicious options. I tried both Salsas mild and spicy and their spicy red chili enchilada sauce and they were all on point and full of flavor. I ordered their Nana's taco plate. There are not many spots that put potatoes in their tacos, which I love. My nana put potatoes in her tacos all the time. The food was delish and I wish they Nana's had a location in PHX. I almost felt like I made this food in my own kitchen it's so close to my own style of cooking. read more

OMG!! This food is outstanding! And it really is made by Nana! Genuine authentic Sonoran Mexican Food. I would've ordered more if I wasn't full. Extremely friendly. The manager is her son. I highly recommend visiting here. Amazing food! read more

Nana's Kitchen - Chile Relleno - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Nana's kitchen. Features many Nana's Special recipes (tacos, tostadas, etc.) I didn't realize that you can actually meet Nana, it's not just the name of the restaurant. She's nice, as is everyone else at the restaurant. Nana's Special *blank* is ground beef with potatoes. I don't like ground beef tacos/tostadas/etc, but Nana's Special beef is abso-freaking-lutely delicious! Chile Relleno is a bit bready for my taste, but I keep ordering it and enjoying it, soooo..... They offer a mild/mediumish salsa, and a hot salsa. One of them is not served cold, which is fine, except I like my salsa cold. Service, while extremely friendly, can be a bit slowish, so I don't eat there if I have somewhere to be. I eat there when I feel like chilling for a bit and reading the news on my phone. Glad I found this place, irritated that it took me so long, and hope they do well for years! read more

Great Sororan Mexican food. Friendly staff. You can tell they care about the quality of their food.

Let's talk about the customer service, yes!! It was amazing!! We just got home from having an amazing time at this place. Javier was amazing, welcoming and quite helpful. Chips and salsa, OMGEEEEE, yes, again!! We were there as a very large group, took a hot minute to get orders in and food out, but, it was worth it! The amount of food was perfect, the taste was delicious, and pretty average on our dinner ticket. Nothing weird in food, no bay leaves floating around, which is what we have encountered in many Mexican restaurants we've eaten at here in Tucson! Good job and congrats on being amazing!!! Definitely will be back. read more

Food was absolutely amazing super tasty and so yummy ! Family business and great service. PLEASE COME AND TRY IT OUT ! U won't regret it :) read more

Nana's Kitchen - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

When I came here for breakfast with a couple others, everything was super amazing and delicious. Portions were generous and price was fair. I ended up trying the pancakes...I know that's not very Mexican and I actually would never order pancakes from an American breakfast restaurant, but I've had them in China once where they were delicious, so I figured why not try the Mexican spin on them. Well, they came out nice and with a crisp top layer just how I like them and not undercooked like the usual American breakfast places and I was thoroughly satisfied. Tonight I went back with a craving for menudo (yes, I'm cheating on my vegetarian diet), but it was not worth it. Probably 95% hominy no joke and any tripe in it was the size of a quarter. So yeah...guess that's what I get for not sticking to my diet! Bf's flautas were also nothing special. We'll be back, but probably sticking to breakfast next time. Not to say we wouldn't try the dinner menu again, but for now breakfast is where it's at in our opinion. read more

Yummy food and a casual atmosphere! Staff was super friendly and funny! Will go again when I'm Tucson! Thank you read more

We always go to Nana's for the true tastes of Mexico. We always start with their wonderful chips and salsa. make sure you get plenty of guacamole. There are so many choices on the menu but I always seem to end up with the flautas which are delicious. The cheese is very high quality. I like to end my work week with a nice stiff margarita, which is perfectly crafted by the bartender. This family knows Mexican food, and they know it well. We lived there for 10 years and we recently took a trip back home. Service is second to none..... read more

I am struggling to even give this restaurant one star. The food is horrible, tacos were bland, the queso looked like cottage chees and the quesadilla had a weird flavor and both were dripping oil. Everyone on shift was as the bar drinking for the majority of our visit. To make things worse my friend had to go to the bathroom to throw up and I personally threw up in the parking lot. PLEASE do not waste your money on this over priced garbage!!! read more

Nana's Kitchen - Oil pooling - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Always tasty. Always friendly service. The atmosphere is great for families or friends getting together for margaritas!

My mother and I agree; this restaurant is great! Spacious interior with table service. Speaking of service, they are very attentive and friendly. The food was great. The cheese enchiladas are especially scrumptious; order "The Bandera!" read more

Nana's Kitchen - Beans and Rice - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Lots of hard surfaces and minimal decor...so go expecting a lot of noise. Table next to us was filled with family (the owner's family) and they were exceptionally loud and close to drunk. Food was decent -- not exceptional but decent. Beans and rice and salsa were all good, and that's one way to judge good Mexican food. Portions were large. Tea was old but once I mentioned it she took it away and said we wouldn't be charged. Not a very pleasant meal. Food was good but the noise level ruined everything. Service can only be described as fair. read more

Nana's Kitchen - Shredded beef chimichanga. - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Decided to stop for a T-shirt because the Nana thing is super cool and many folks call their Grandma "Nana", but no t-shirts here. So lunch it was. We tell Marcos were from San Diego so he hooks us up with a pint of Barrio Rojo Brew. YAY then on to lunch. The Chile Relleno was good, the beef Birria tacos delightful and Sonoran style Chipotle chicken enchilada was an interesting twist to enchiladas Swisas, but.... go for spicy on the salsa! No messing around here. This stuff was supper spice with much flavor. Loved it! Marcos went off menu to give us some of the client favorites. The queso fundido was awesome as an appetizer. After our meal Maria "Nana" came out to visit with us. What a delightful woman. Told her we wanted to practice our Spanish so we went back and forth. Love this family restaurant. Will be back soon and recommend you do as well. Hope your experience is as good as mine. read more

Nana's Kitchen - Loved the family style interaction and food. - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

We drove 30 minutes for this dinner because of its name with our "nana", and it did not disappoint! From the salsa, to the perfectly baked taco shells to the presentation of each meal, it was amazing. The staff was personable, the establishment is clean and you can feel the love they have in serving their community good, quality food. read more

We love Nana's. Great food, great liquor selection and great people. They really treat you like family. We have had them cater many family events in addition to having dinner there. Be sure to know that they have two red enchilada sauces; one very mild and one spicier and more traditional to me. The spicy one is kind of off menu, so if you prefer a Sonoran red sauce, order the spicy one. read more

They knocked it out of the park! We ordered the tacos birria style (shredded beef stewed in beer) and the Barbacoa (bbq) taco salad for a late lunch Monday afternoon after running errands. The tacos birria are delicious! The flavor of beer and of the spices used in the beef is amazing! The taco salad - it was the best taco salad I've ever had in my life. The beans, beef, cheese, guacamole, lettuce and tomatoes were mixed and seasoned so well - a super delicious flavor cruise. We're so glad we stopped in at Nanas to have lunch. We will be back soon and often. read more

Nana's Kitchen - Nana's beautiful Christmas tree. - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Great service and great food. If we were in the area again we would definitely eat there. We had Chile Relleno and enchiladas.

Tried this place after craving homemade shredded beef tacos & Nana's Kitchen did not disappoint! Ordered the combination plate with an extra taco instead of a chile relleno. Tacos, rice & beans were delicious & had an authentic taste. Accidentally got mole for my enchilada sauce which I was not of fan of - but have since had their red chile & it tastes just like my Nanas. Will be back! read more

Nana's Kitchen - Shredded beef taco & enchilada - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Best Chile rellenos I've ever had. Nana's tacos have potatoes and ground beef, really good. Chipotle chicken enchiladas are my wife's favorite. Javier improved the refried bean recipe and now they are the bomb as well. You have to get a "Marco margarita " as long as you are not driving home. Love this family and their food! read more

Been a customer at Nanas for the last 15 years, Family own, family run, fresh made food to order. Once you become a customer you become part of the family. read more

We had an amazing meal! The restaurant was very busy, but the staff went out of their way to keep us informed about our meals. We had chips and salsa and some yummy guacamole while we waited for our entrees. We ordered a burrito and a steak entree. Everything was hot and delicious! The margaritas were fabulous. This is a family run restaurant and their care for their customers is really evident. They were knowledgeable about gluten free options and cross contamination concerns. Great job! read more

I have been to Nana's kitchen several times and the food and cocktails are always spot on. Today was no difference except for our host Javier. Javier was such a pleasure to talk with. He was attentive and explained the menu, explaining options to my special needs son. He saw that my sons eye lit up when he knew they had horchata, and brought him the biggest glass ever!!! The food was fantastic. My son had a calabacitas burrito, I had the tortilla soup and my daughter had a cheese quesadilla. All had the perfect seasoning and we didn't have to wait long at all. Quite honestly, I wouldn't have minded, as Javier was the perfect host and so genuine. It is obvious that COVID has hit the business hard. We were there early afternoon, and there was only one other family having lunch. If you get a chance, go have breakfast (on Saturdays only right now), or lunch/dinner. You won't be disappointed. BTW Covid practices are in place!!! read more

If I could this will be a no star. First time here getting food to go. Unorganized and unprofessional. I ordered red menudo to go that's yet. She had to ask me 4 times what I wanted after already taken my payment and order. Charged me more for what it costs in the menu and the size portion is smaller than 16 oz of beer. After I got home there are no onions and gave me lemon instead of lime and when I go eat there we're only 2 pieces of menudo about the size of a nickel. Lots of hominy but no meat. If you want good menudo that's double the size triple the flavor and half the price check out taqueria Juanito. Won't be coming here again. Even the menudo that comes in a can taste better and have more meat than this. That's just sad. read more

Ordered kids meals with vegetable aside. Chicken tacos came with vegetables in the tacos. I asked waitress why vegetables were in tacos and her response was " it is written on the menu". I told her why I asked to put vege aside. Her response was "our chicken is already mixed with vegetables. We do not have just plain chicken meats". WTH. So you already prepare meat before people order foods. Foods were EXTREMELY SALTY! Asked to speak with the owner and he/she didn't even come. I had only one bite of my birria and the owner told the waitress that I had to pay full price for everything. Did not give me a receipt and when I asked, I could see "female owner" tossing the receipt to the waitress. Bad service and bad foods. Do not understand how this place got the good reviews!!! read more

Amazing, amazing, amazing. Great food and love to support this family owned local business. Have been eating here since they opened a must try if you love Mexican food. read more

Can't rate food since I never ate here. But did wait over 10 mins until I left. Never came to take my order. Sucks cuz I really wanted to try this place out. read more
