My dinner last night was the Carne Asada Chimichanga with rice and beans. When it was brought out to me it was piping hot from the fryer. When I cut the Chimichanga open it was packed with 1/2 inch cubes of grilled steak. The guacamole, sour cream, lettuce and tomato on top was fresh and tasty. The rice and beans are also excellent. I usually put my rice in my beans so it is easier to scoop up! It was such a big meal that I only ate half. I finished off the rest for lunch today. The portion size is ideal for sharing. It has a very family friendly atmosphere, but the adults can also enjoy a beer or margarita as well. Restrooms are clean and odorless and the staff treats you like family. read more

Overpriced!!! Terrible quality food-albóndigas soup tasted like 5 lb of lemons was squeezed in a single cup. Awful service with waitress forgetting to put our appetizer in. All hype about this place is absolutely not worth it. All around terrible experience! read more

An old favorite. I especially love the taquitos which go with a margarita perfectly x

I felt like Nana's met my needs, but I also felt like I need to visit at least one more time to give an accurate review. Based on my ONE visit, I will say the food was good and the pricing was fair. The building is a small strip mall area and the floor of the restaurant is facing a bar area. I was present for lunch which was half full or less and the services were timely. Only issue with the food was the refried beans seemed a little burnt but I did not have any other issues with the food. The menu is pretty average for Tucson Mexican food which we can be a little snobby about because Tucson has some of the BEST Mexican food in the US. So this does not take away from the quality. It is worth trying out and experiencing. Very casual, not very intimate, no dress up required. read more

Don't come here unless you want the worst overpriced Mexican food ever with a big side of terrible service. I'd rather go to Taco Bell for better food read more

This food here is excellent authentic Mexican food Tucson style probably influenced by Sonora style cooking that being said the chile was pure New México very tasty delicious highly recommend!! Great service friendly waitress!! read more

This restaurant was my 1st introduction to Birria. It was so good I needed to make it so I searched for recipes and found the one. It's from a couple of guys in New Jersey of all places. I've made it at least 4x's now and it's literally the best Birrira I've ever had. read more

Ordered thru Grubhub recieved- no silverware, napkins, tortillas that came with my entree and NO SALSA with the order. I called and explained I dine in occasionally but had not ordered takeout from them for the last year because I had a disappointing experience prior. I asked them to explain why none of this was included in my order and was going to ask if I could just drive over and pick it up myself. I was first speaking to a woman but then had a man take the phone from her to tell me that this wasn't their problem "it was a Grubhub problem" -to call them. In addition.... The food is mediocre and the guacamole tasted only of smashed of avocado. Don't waste your money when there are plenty of amazing Mexican food places on the Northwest side that may treat you like a valuable, paying customer... the new Guadalajara opens soon right around the corner. read more

The food is always good and the service is always friendly. Our daughter and grand kids are here visiting and we took them to Nana's for lunch. They also really enjoyed it. read more

The entire staff makes this scratch Mexican restaurant a must visit. The food is incredible and they are very flexible with dietary restrictions. The bar section is one of the best I've ever experienced! Marco is an amazing mixologist making so many varieties of margaritas. The liquor selection is what you'd expect at a 5 star restaurant. Javier and Nana are welcoming and always greet you with a smile and kind words. Sandra is my favorite server always making sure you have everything you desire. The ambiance is what you'd expect of an authentic Mexican restaurant. After a couple of visits it's like waking into Cheers where everybody knows your name. Must try, and I guarantee you'll be back often!! read more

The food and service are amazing. We have been a customer since they've opened and always recommend Nana's to anyone looking for great food. Great food, and a great family that always make us feel welcome and treat us like one of their own. The bar has amazing mixed drinks and an outstanding bourbon collection. read more

Our favorite place to go. The owners and staff are amazing and treat everyone like family. The food is amazing and the drink selection is equally amazing. You won't be disappointed!! read more

The food was delicious and the service was top notch. We left feeling like family. This is on our list of places to visit again next n our next trip. read more

I ordered Fajitas Half Steak Half Shrimp. Let me say, save your money. I would not call what was delivered to me Fajitas in any way form or fashion. The steak and shrimp was not hot. The steak strips looked like left-overs. There were three small strips of steak and four baby shrimp. They spread this out over half of the plate to fill the plate. But there is no filling the plate when most of the plate is bare white. The sides, beans and rice tasted like they were dumped straight out of a can. The sides occupied the other half of the plate. I sure wished I would have taken a picture, because this is still hard for me to believe. But I was so stunned by what was brought to me especially since it is one of the more expensive meals. One of the other individuals at my table asked what it was they brought him. He said he did not order what he received and they argued that he did. He ordered a dish with chicken on it and was served some sort of a vegetarian corn dish. The waiter did not write down our order for a party of six so I am not surprised how much our order was messed up. The place was very loud. It looked like they operate like a bar. read more

Came in for breakfast this morning, but they were out of eggs, so we were going to go elsewhere, but I was so hungry and uncaffeinated that I needed something and there were waits at everywhere else in the vicinity. So I ended up ordering a coffee and the sopapillas and my mom ordered their mexican shrimp cocktail. The coffee was surprisingly good and strong and the sopapillas were absolutely fantastic! The dough was perfect (crispy on the outside and soft and airy in the middle) with a generous amount of powdered sugar and honey! There were six to an order and I could only finish four (trust that the other two came home with me). They were literally "finger-licking good" and my mom scolded me for licking my fingers in public, but I told her to wipe my hands on the napkin would have been a waste of sopapilla! She was in love with her shrimp cocktail and said it was so filling and flavorful, so there you go and she is a woman who loves her shrimp cocktails! The staff is so sweet here and I liked the decor, especially the painted mural. I will definitley be back during my out of town visit to Tucson to sample their lunch fare as they seem like a truly authentic mexican restaurant! read more

The biggest reason for my group's visit in early April 2019 was the gluten-free options the restaurant offered. My group consisted of five people, one of whom has a diagnosed gluten sensitivity. Overall, we had a good experience. The food had great flavor and was prepared well. Put server wasn't terribly friendly, but in credit that to our arrival of half an hour prior to closing. read more

Nana's Kitchen - Carne Asada Chimichanga - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Awesome family owned restaurant. Authentic Mexican food at its best. Best house made micheladas in town.

Literally the best Mexican food around Tucson. If you like birria please make the trip. Good as an enchilada, taco, taco salad. Cheese crisp is light and crisp, as it should be. But.... The margaritas. Oh. My. Goodness. They are strong, amazing and full of flavor. I can not say enough good things about this place. read more

Did a Yelp while near Marana and up came Nana's. Nice and tidy restaurant with a very friendly and attentive server. Chips and salsa were very fine. My cheese enchildadas with mole sauce were divine. I really enjoyed them. We got the lunch plates which means a better price but servings that were a little smaller than the norm. I see that as a win-win, saving money for all and cutting down on food having to be tossed. Our server told us he hoped we would come back. How often do you hear that? A nice dining experience with good Mexican food. read more

Nana's Kitchen - I was a bit surprised to see Nana's celebrating Columbus's New World voyages. - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

There's a lot of potential walking in but it's missed when the food gets there. Mediocre options with highest prices. Literally the whitest Mexican restaurant. The owner I guess was friendly and visited every table in the restaurant when it's slammed but hospitality does not outweigh the prices and quality read more

We love Nana's Kitchen! We found this place when we were living in Picture Rocks for a couple of months when new to town and ate there frequently. Now we live on the NE side but will still drive 45 minutes each way to eat here because the food is that good and the family that owns this place is so lovely. Very personable, the epitome of a small, family owned local business and one we should all support. The food is so good, I didn't like mole until I ate theirs and now I'm an addict. Thank you Nana's! read more

Definately it could have been much better. We have voted Nana's quite often, but tonight it was not good at all. We arrived a little past 7 and immediately sat down. Yes they were a little busy but it was normal on a Friday night. After finally ordering our meal 7:11 we sat and waited. We had to run down out waitress to ask for more chips and salsa (she only brought us salsa no chips). We finally received our food at 8:05. We had only ordered a Quesadilla and Taco Salad. The Quesadilla was horrible. Our waitress never came back to ask how our food was or if we needed anything or even apologized for the wait. We were extremely disappointed in the experience. It will be quite a while before or if we return to Nana's Kitchen. read more

I have eaten here several times and I would have given it 4 stars had the consistency been steady. Some times the food is amazing and some times the food is just so-so. The service can be hit or miss too. The chimichangas are very good - the tortilla is so light and crispy it's almost like it's puff pastry. I don't know how to explain it but we really like the chimichangas. I have also tried the cheese enchiladas with the hot red sauce and thoroughly enjoyed them as well. read more

Always had good food and great service Will return to this establishment The only thing I would like is hotter chili read more

Great food and better company. The two brothers are some crazy fun dudes. I loved my food and the company. The gave me a great new Tequila, and made me laugh the whole time. read more

This place is AWESOME! I dont generally like eating Mexican food out, but we go here regularly now. I've recommended it to friends and the ALL LOVED IT! It's a MOM and SON's joint GREAT HOME COOKED FOOD ... read more

Amazing Mexican food! The food is very authentic and the salsa is truly fresh. I would highly recommend this place to eat with family and friends. The taco salad was amazing and served homemade in a homemade shell which is enough for two. The cheese enchiladas were great and you get a choice of mild medium or hot salsa. I always get the sopa de tortilla which is very good I would highly recommend anything off the menu. Reasonable prices. Homemade authentic food! read more

Not good in anyway! Nobody greets you as you walk in! Interior is loud...mural on the wall is childish...understaffed...the two brothers more interested in talking to people about bourbon...was excited to try one of their award winning margaritas (passion fruit). Except they do not have it...received a margarita that was premixed and poured out of a plastic container with a shake?...cheese crisp has horrible and burnt... chimichanga was burnt and oily... over all experience was the worst I have had. read more

Great food and service. The bourbon section is great and extremely reasonable. We will go back and visit every time we are in town. If you're or bourbon or tequila drinker, TRY THIER BARREL PICKS! read more

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

Thanks to our archnemesis Covid19 Nanas has a great deal they're calling the Virus special for $35 or 45. They feed a family of 4. Pretty standard Mexican fare and flavors. read more

Just went today and we decided that, since moving to Tucson 2 years ago, this has been our favorite Mexican restaurant. My carne asada chimichanga, rice, and beans were fabulous. My husband's enchiladas with green sauce (and rice and beans) were quite good, but we agreed the chimi was better. . Took the lettuce off the top and the crust stayed crispy through the whole eating experience. Beans were smooth and tasty; salsa was delicious. We were there at 1220, so it was a bit busy and we had to wait a while for our food, but it was worth waiting for! read more

Food Drink and service amazing! Been looking for amazing Mexican food this is it!!! Salsa is kick ass! TY Nana!!

I did a $140 GrubHub order from this place and HALF of the food didn't arrive. My kids didn't get their food. I called the restaurant and the lady who answered didn't care and told me to call GrubHub. No empathy was expressed whatsoever! She wouldn't event review the order with me. Bye they don't start making it until your driver gets there, and that took an hour. ON TOP OF THAT, the food we got was rancid. The Masa for the green corn tamales was rotten and stank so bad we had to light a candle. My husband even tried it to give them the benefit of the doubt that it was just stinky cheese, and it was rotten and he spit it out. I have been to this place before, and this is not the same quality at all. The chimichanga was brown and the oil was heavy tasting. We will not order from here again. read more

We have seen this place many times wondering if it was any good. OHHHHH MY LORD!!!!! It is FABULO....... estupenda Take my advice..... if you like long island ice tea the way iiii do......... it is a must. The BEST ever! Food is top rate nom nom nommmmmmmm..... my kids know that there is somewhere we have PREVIOUSLY gone whenever we say 'let's go out to eat.... it was__________os No more my friends. Not to say there were not GREAT family meals shared there; but I have to tell you that this place....... happily surmised us with the best friend.... most perfectly mixed drinks....... the pièce de ré·sis·tance is the service.... the pride they take in what they are doing and how personal they are. Oh myyyy.... I'm telling you that there is NOOOOOO exaggeration here. woooooooooo....... you really need to experience what we have EVERY time that we have come here. We 'WONDER' no more....we KNOW (You will find two brothers Javier and Marcos always making you feel as you were a guest in their home.) Running restaurants for 27 years myself..... this is my highest praise possible. read more

PHENOMENAL!! from the moment we walked through the door the service was top notch and extremely hospitable...exactly what my southern soul needed!! The food is even better! My mother, new born and I stopped in on our way to Texas and being from Texas we have different expectations of Mexican food. The portions were generous, the food was extremely flavorful and the drinks were strong! I am already planning to stop in on our way back to AZ! The only downside is the parking situation because of all the other establishments in the same area, but just call and they will let you know if they have availability! (: read more

We have visited Nana's Kitchen many times because of the locations proximity to our house. Each time our visit is hit or miss with service and quality of food. When we arrived on this occasion, there was a little bit of a wait. We didn't mind waiting, as many of the tables looked as though they might be getting up soon. We probably waited about 15 minutes before we were seated which wasn't bad considering it was a busy night in Tucson due to the rodeo. After we were seated we were promptly asked what we wanted to drink. Our service at this point was great considering how busy they were. When our waiter came back with our drinks he also brought fresh salsa on two dishes, one mild and the other hot. We ended up ordering a cheese quesadilla, cheese enchiladas, and I ordered the veggie tostadas that came with guacamole, rice, lettuce, and cheese. Since they put animal fat into the Redford beans and we are vegetarians, we couldn't order anything with beans (which was a little disappointing.) The food came out promptly and was really good. The reason for the three stars? The service after our food was sent to the table. After we were done eating we needed boxes and our check. We waited 20 minutes for this. At this point, the restaurant has begun to clear out so being extremely busy wasn't an issue. I will definitely give Nana's another try. The food was great, just some minor service issues to work through. read more
