    Bean and cheese burrito
    Chelsea J.

    Stopped in for a bean and cheese burrito. It was good, not great. It was a little stingy for being over $5, however the tortilla was really good. They had a serve yourself salsa area with green or red salsa. The red salsa was more like spicy red water, the green was decent. If you have a big appetite, the burrito alone isn't going to cut it. The couple working was friendly and the inside was clean.

    Nico's is a local family operated Mexican restaurant that has surprisingly really tasty food. They're nachos supreme are delicious and filling. You should really try their bean and cheese wet burrito. They don't use lard and it is really delicious. It is definitely a local go to Place.

    Burrito- Steak
    Kyle H.

    Nothing great. Nothing terrible. I ordered the steak, egg, and cheese burrito. Tortilla was a little dry which threw me off. Overall burrito was average at best. Nothing to complain about for the price. But not dying to come back.

    Breakfast egg and sausage burrito.

    A little dirty on the inside. There was a rag just hanging out by the self serve salsa bar. But the food is consistently decent.

From…read morethe moment you walk in, the service is warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming--it feels like a true local gem. The food is where they really shine. The tacos are some of the best I've had--perfectly seasoned, fresh, and packed with flavor. The carne asada is especially delicious, cooked just right and full of that rich, smoky taste you hope for. And let's not forget the carbs--everything from the tortillas to the sides is comforting, satisfying, and clearly made with care. Every dish has that homemade, local flavor that keeps you coming back. Great service, amazing food, and an overall experience that hits every time. Highly recommend!

A melt in your mouth feast and oh so flavorful.Husband's sampler platter was loaded with taco, mini chimichangas and almost every o much to eat. The margaritas had just the right amount of tequila and flavor.our waitress Carmen was the best and made the dining experience so much better.

    We originally planned to have dinner here but as it was on the main road from Tucson to Biosphere…read more2, we stopped in for lunch on the way back. The restaurant is located in a moderately-sized shopping plaza and has a large shared parking lot. It is a stand-alone structure separate from the other businesses. There is a partial patio that wraps around the building, with some sort of shade installed. It was still too warm for us, so we opted to eat inside. The interior is a large open dining room with a bar on the left side. They also had a semi-separate room to the right for (I guess) large parties that wanted a bit of privacy. The menu featured a variety of dishes, but did not include a set of standard Tex-Mex combos. I'm not complaining, just noting. Everyone in our party found something they wanted. A couple of us got the 2 taco plate. This featured your choice of bean style (black / pinto / refried) and Mexican rice. The tacos were quite large, so 2 was more than adequate. I don't recall what the 3rd person ordered. The tacos tased very fresh and were overflowing with added lettuce and greens. Their signature taco (served for about a century, they said) was basically a beef patty as the taco meat. The form didn't matter - it tasted like a beef taco. I assume the patty is likely for their convenience in prep? Two of us split a tres lechee cake, which was also good. If I were a Tucson resident, I'd consider coming back to one of their 3 locations.
