Best straight forward shredded beef tacos and green sauce in town. This is the only Nico's to trust for these tacos. Very consistent.

Staff was rude and charged me more than was listed on the menu. When I asked why I was being charged more, the staff shrugged their shoulders and walked away. My buisness will go elsewhere in the future. read more

It's safe to say that Nico's is probably the only place that I actually hate. That being said, my family eats at various Nicos all the time - I guess it's a hit or miss sort of thing. . For me it is a big MISS... I dislike the burritos with just bland meat and beans - and then they charge you extra for all of the lettuce, salsa, cheese, sour cream etc, (that should automatically come with the burrito wtf?). The guac is also a pretty foul runny sauce (forget trying to find a real chunk of avocado in that mess). The tacos are bland and greasy and pretty much taste the same no matter what flavor you get.

I ordered a carne asada burrito and it tasted like mush it looked like it was hamburger instead of carne asada I will not be going back to this place. read more

5 is the only number of stars this Nico's deserves. Okay Okay, it isn't in the same place where fights, public nudity, and first kisses used to happen, but the magic is still there people. This review is about more than just their food (which is obviously delicious), it is about what Nico's does for the community. This business is and always will be there for you - ESPECIALLY you students who need somewhere to eat after a long night of partying. Never take that for granted, because they certainly love you. I mean you can't deny the magical capabilities of this taco stand?! Cures hangovers faster than a speeding bullet, hot sauce more powerful than a locomotive, and the ability to send you to the bathroom in a single bound. I recommend any breakfast burrito. read more

Great breakfast burritos. Far better than those in the other fast food Mexican joints see around town.. read more

Nico's is strictly for tasty late night burritos for me, ridiculously beautiful creations known as "Super Fries" for friends and apparently some other things to other people. Having come from an almost life-time of Los Betos and Viva, Nico's blew me away. Everything I've had has been delicious. The bean and cheese burritos seem to have the perfect, awe-inspiring liquidy consistency, breakfast burritos have a certain flavor that betters others, the beef is succulent and greasy, the enchiladas are just as good as anywhere else. This review is actually just making me hungry. 24-hours made me try them and the food has made me come back over every other late night mexican food place, save Taco Shop. I give it four "mmms." While I'm at it, six and a half "om noms" too for anyone that hates people making up their own rating names. read more

Best California burrito of all the Nico's I have had. Best Breakfast burritos too no matter which one you get. And they don't skimp on the salsa unlike most other. And if you like cheese they load it in the food. Also 24/7 read more

I went here on a Sunday morning for a breakfast burrito, and it was the most mediocre burrito I have ever had. There was no flavor and the salsa they gave us was very spicy. The workers were also very rude to me, rolled there eyes and slammed the window multiple times. I do not recommend this place. read more

Definitely last time EVER going to this supposed "Mexican" fast food place, because as far as being a "restaurant"... it sucks! Tasteless food, watered down salsa, EXPENSIVE as all hell, part of the problem...once they and ALL places get clientele, they start giving you less than what they SHOULD make, CRAP! read more

In high school I used to be very fond of Nico's. True if you are looking for a place to eat at 3:00 in the morning Nico's might be a good bet. But as far as Mexican food goes why would you ever go to Nico's when any other real taco stand is not only cheaper but many time healthier and more delicious. Which brings me to ask why is it called "Nico's Taco Shop" when I don't even think they serve tacos. Nico's is a disgrace to Mexican food in the same way Whataburger is a disgrace to American food. If you are looking for something cheap go to El Guero Canelo or Nene's or Taco Fish or any other taco truck. Pros: Open 24 hrs, great place to meet drunk people Cons: The food read more

I've been told by a few U of A students that Nico's is a great alternative to other local fast Mexican food. The burrito was cold. Not just stuff that would have been cold that was put into the burrito. The meat in the burrito was cold. Not just luke warm. Cold like it had been in a refrigerator. What the ftp. read more

Absolutely awful. I have been going to this location for YEARS and use to be great. The last 2 years they have gone completely downhill. The prices are ridiculous, and they food is horrible. They mess my order up every time by simply just not listening or caring. I order a simple 3 rolled tacos with only cheese and every time it is covered in guacamole, meat is cold, and shell is not even cooked and is soft. When call, they tell you to bring the food back or will get right next time. I will no longer ever go to this location. read more

We ordered beef tacos but found the taco shell hard and cold. In other words, they had not been prepared fresh. We love Nico's and eat there often; however, if this happens again we we eat elsewhere. read more

In my opinion, Nico's carnitas burrito is one of the most emotionally satisfying foods that one can obtain in this city. It's extremely indulgent -- fatty, rich, and slathered in guacamole -- and reasonably priced at $5.39 after tax [UPDATE: Nico's raised the price of this burrito -- I'm not sure what it costs now, but it's presumably still worth it]. If you haven't had one, then you're seriously missing out. Besides that, though, the food I've gotten from there has been pretty average; not bad, but nothing I'd be really eager to recommend. read more

Been eating this place for years since I was a little boy ! I love there bean aNd cheese burrito ! It's so big and yummy!!!!! Love this perfect fast Mexican food. read more

Better than beto's, but if you can make it to the taco shop GO THERE! And if you're coming here during the daytime you are just nuts-- rubio's is better and nene's is a million times better. You should only go here if it's night and you are close. It's greasy, not-well-made, but it is good value so I won't go under three stars. read more

For Mexican food fast, that tastes good; this is the place!! I love the verde sauce on a breakfast burrito but the combo meals are great too! read more

I always love going to Nico's any time of day! My food is always excellent and I appreciate the swift and prompt service from the staff. My cashier was very to me, and friendly! Nico's is a go to for me! read more

Better than some 24 hour taco shops, but better options exist. Burritos are reliably huge. Chile Relleno burrito's have two chile's-- good. The sauce added to the burrito does it no favors. Hold the sauce and take extra salsa. Quality varies between visits. Fish tacos are acceptable. I'd be grateful to have a place like this in Florida. For Tucson, there are better options. read more

Extremely average tasting food that has recently seen a nose dive in quality and customer service. I'd recommend going to the tons and tons of other better tasting, higher quality and more affordable taquerias in town. read more

Being born and raised in Tucson, this is my favorite 24 hour taco shop! For me, it's far superior to Taco Shop and Los Betos and I will go the extra distance to go to THIS Nico's on Campbell. Their carne asada burritos are the objects of my dreams. Nothing is better after a night of drinking. Or just a night. Or a morning. Nico's forever. read more

Food was decent, definitely lacked seasoning. Service was what you'd expect, fast, efficient, succinct. Nico's Nachos... half the cheese was gloriously melty and the other, well, not so much. Meat definitely needed seasoning; the salsas helped but not much. Guacamole was pureed/creamy, big turn off. The chips were shockingly good and they did not skimp on the good stuff covering them!! Carne Asada burrito... missed the note that you have to add sour cream. Again, meat was blaaaaaand. This is carne asada!! Where are my spices, it's marinated right? Or at least add a little salt & pepper!! I know it literally means grilled beef but come on!! They're open late night, a plus. Not rushing back with so many other options closeby... Throw in a smile and a little seasoning in the food and 5 stars will be a no-brainer. read more

Lakers vs Celtics. Yankees vs. Red Sox. Nico's vs. Betos. Truly, these are rivalries for ours and all times. Where you stand on Nico's vs Betos may say more to people about yourself than your political or religious affiliation. It may even be a deal breaker in a relationship. Well screw relationships folks, we're bout to go deep here. Burrito for burrito, this particular Nico's has no peer. It's after you get to the combos and taco's that I feel Betos has just a little more quality on its bench. But let's talk burritos, baby. The Nico's carne asada burrito is beautiful. As long and hearty as a Subway footlong (so approximately 9inches), and usually as quality as you can expect from a 24hour hole-in-the-wall. Add the beans to any burrito and enjoy the early onset diabetes and hypertension because it's just so sinfully good. Don't even get me started on the breakfast burritos. Only 2 places in town can match them, and those places are closed when I'm drunk so even that's debatable. All and all, Nico's is rightfully a late night institution. And a lunchtime resolution to avoid. But you're gonna do it. You're gonna read more

Tucson, AZ - Campbell location No stars!!! They messed up my order completely and said they would replace the food because they do not give money back, advised that I was at work and could not return right away... they said come back in tomorrow and they would have my name written down.... now they want a receipt and said they never talked to me... BAD for business and extremely unhappy. read more

Absolute WORST service ever!! Lady in the drive-thru is total bitch. They took my order wrong, charged me to wrong amount and gave me the wrong damn order!!! Even AFTER i clarified the error. I phone to speak to the owner/manager and get told "He's not here. Don't know when he will be here. Can't take a message. You can just call back whenever you want and hope he is here." UNBELIEVEABLE!!! I will never again allow this nasty establishment to earn another single dollar from me!! The absolute WORST service EVER!! read more

There was recently an attack on Nico's by an out of control vehicle on Campbell. Say what you will about it, Nico's is Too Tough to Die and now all is well. As a vegetarian, you might not think there is a lot to eat at Nico's, but you'd be wrong. Today I had a most decadent Chile Relleno burrito and I couldn't have asked for more. The beans, tortillas, and pretty much everything on the menu is to die for. If you're trying to decide which Nico's to visit, the one on Campbell is the original (and best). It can get quite packed in there, but it's well worth the wait. If you don't like crowds, go at 4am -- they are open and it's generally pretty chill by then. read more

This Nico's is my fave fast Mexican place for carnitas tacos and breakfast burritos. Their business has slowed a bit since city road construction forced them to move from the corner of Ft Lowell and Campbell, two blocks south to Blacklidge and Campbell (2965 N Campbell). So go visit. Ask for lime if you get the carnitas tacos! They still have a Drive-Thru window, it's just not as obvious as it was at the old location. read more

Nico's Tacos looks like your average Mexican fast food place from the outside. From the inside it doesn't look all that spectacular either. The restaurant itself isn't that clean I would say it isn't dirty or filthy but pretty average. If it was cleaner it would probably get a 5 star from me. There is a pretty large abundance of tables as well, I've never had a problem finding tables or anything like that. They even have a few arcade machines to pass time while you're waiting but its usually not a long wait. Nothing satisfies my late night Mexican food craving like Nicos. It is easily my most favorite Mexican place after 10pm. The food here is made very well and you usually get a lot for your money. My absolute favorite meal here is the chimichanga with carne asada meat. Everyone in Tucson should give Nico's Tacos a shot, you definitely won't be disappointed. read more

So I love nicos...all locations around town are good....the only thing is it just depends on who's cooking at the time that you order....you can tell that they have no constancy in training....but all in all I always enjoy going to nicos....and if you are looking for great food after a night on 4th ave....nicos is the place to go!!! read more

I just tried Nicos on Broadway and Van Buren! I bought a carne asada burrito and I am hooked! I tried other locations and they do not compare! read more

In five days in Tucson, I ate at Nicos three times. Say what you want, but when it comes to chep, tasty, and fast eats Nicos fills the bill. Furthermore, if you are expecting perfection from a $3 burrito...you probably think you are pretty when you look in the mirror...stop deluding yourself and take what the $3/hr help serves you. NEW RULE: Be careful of what you expect, you will get it served to you at Nicos wrapped in a big tortilla! read more

It's quick, fast and cheap. Generally only get the bean and cheese burrito, or the pollo asado burrito. Beef tacos are good on occasion. Last visit, I had the al pastor which was sooooo salty. I think the swelling in my fingers just went down. Super Nachos and super fries are both appalling...especially the fries - just in theory though, I wouldn't order those...ever. read more

Nicos is the best place to get food when you're drunk. I rated this location because it is the closest one to the location that I originally came to love on ft lowell and campbell (I was sad they closed it down). Anyway when you are drunk and hungry getting a hold of a massive meat friendly burrito with extra guacamole is just what the doctor ordered. It seriously is so good when you're intoxicated. I have had it sober and it's not as good, not bad by any means but not as satisfying. I lived out of state and we're honestly lucky to be able to get a carne asada burrito without beans/rice/cheese, aka california style burritos. I'm a man, give me meat! I don't care where it came from at 3 am in the morning :D Did I mention it's really good when you're drunk? Also note their breakfast burritos are pretty good, the drunk rule need not apply to that one and if you have drunk friends who don't like to eat burritos get adventurous and get some super nachos and dominate them. The new place just doesn't have the same fun atmosphere of the old place btw. I miss the drunken banter. Nicos tastes better than Los Betos IMO as well. read more

Gourmet it is not. Quality ingredients it has not. But the flavor? Yes, it has the flavor. As a vegetarian for the animals' health and not my own I have to make special efforts to get enough saturated fats and cholesterol. So when I find something like Nico's super fries (hold the meat) it's as if the clouds part and a big cheese-colored sun shines down upon me. When my friend took me there for the first time he placed an order of super fries for each of us. "I'm kind of hungry," I said, "I don't think fries is gonna do it." He laughed in a knowing way and assured me that this day I would not go hungry. Sweet sour cream the man was right. Not only was it mountainous but as delicious as it was heavy. And so I give you photographic proof to the monstrosity that is Nico's super fries: http://xrl.us/okvse I give it four lipitors. read more

I'm a straight up fan of the original Nico's on Campbell near Ft. Lowell and have been there more times than I can count! This place has kept me coming back for more with their warm tortillas and all of the events that seem to transpire when you're there. For a case of the munchies, nothing beats the supreme nachos, machaca burrito or the carne asada burrito....guaranteed to be loaded with sour cream and guacamole! read more

Good Carne Asada burritos. Open late. Fairly quick. Sometimes the line is long but it's been moving when I was there. I'm good with that. read more

There are many "nico's" around, we drive past many of them on the way here. It's worth the drive! Better salsa verde, better breakfast burros, (where do they get that bacon?), better steak on the nachos, just over all, best we've had! read more

If you're looking for a cheap, super filling, super tasty, greasy meal in Tucson, Nico's is the place for you. Especially late night after a party or after a few drinks when you really crave some meat and cheese. I always get two things when I go here. 1) The Chicken Chimichanga - Succulent chicken in all the cheesy goodness wrapped in a perfectly fried burrito, served on a bed of lettuce with fresh guacamole and pico de gallo on the side. Lather it up in salsa verde (green sauce) and you are transported to heaven. 2) Nico's Super Nachos/Fries - The carne asada at Nico's is to die for and depending on my mood I get it strewn along with some melt in your mouth cheese on top of crispy nachos or fries. There are many other tasty items on the menu, but the Carne Asada and the Chimichanga stand out and are a must have to anyone visiting Tucson (If you live here, you probably have been to Nico's already and know what I'm talking about). Sonoran Mexican food is the best kind, and there is no place that is a better than the slightly cheap roadside takeout style establishment called Nico's. read more

The food here isn't what it used to be place needs to train their staff!!!! The workers don't seem to care about what they are serving customers!! read more
