Bean chimichanga
Mandi G.

We've been going here for years - hundreds of visits (my kids LOVE the food!) and it's always been consistently yummy, the service has been friendly, the dining area is very clean, and they've never once messed up our order! Definite 5 STARS from us! The rolled tacos with guacamole are great for a light meal or snack. The chimichangas are delicious and very filling (see photo!)

Bean Tostada and Cheese Enchilada Combo about $10
John M.

OK, simply put... Pacos has the best fast casual Mexican in Tucson! You can drive through or sit inside the small but spotless restaurant. Either way, you're gonna get great cooked to order Mex that is always yummy. Plus, the prices hover around the $10 mark for generous platters. Mexican cokes are also very fairly priced at around $2 a bottle. The only slight negative is the keyed outside restroom but hey, even the restroom is always spotless. Love me some Pacos!!

Carne Asada
Phillip B.

The food is great, but I don't understand why it looks like the bag was swung around after it's put inside. My wife has uh... sensitivities that caused her to curse, run into and slam the bathroom door shut, and sob when she saw this. I'm really tired of having to console her when we eat here, but she doesn't want me to ever go back anyway. This is the 2nd time in a row this has happened. All I do is take the bag from the gal at the window, put it in the passenger seat, and drive 5 minutes home.

Breakfast Carne Asada Burritos
Daniel A.

I was originally very skeptical because their breakfast burritos cost around 5 dollars but these burritos are absolutely worth that cost! Homemade tortillas with that necessary chewy factor. The burrito was absolutely chock full of flavor including perfectly braised potatoes and chorizo. Coming from San Antonio breakfast tacos, I can say I was still impressed at the taste and size of these burritos. Don't know about the rest of the food but I'll be sure to try out their lunch and dinner options at a later date!

Flavor was just ok and the burritos were surprisingly small? I didn't have the same experience many others had unfortunately.

I love the ground beef tacos and the bacon breakfast burrito. It's great they still have the same quality as they have for over 20 years.

Been years since I've been here, and now I'm kicking myself for waiting so long!…read more Mi Nidito is a Tucson legend, famous for the celebrity photos of notable celebrities who have visited through the years and of course for the food that brought them here. It's colorful, and welcoming. The service was quick and friendly. Of course the chips and homemade salsa were on the table as we sat down. Our waitress was happy to take our order and she was able to make helpful suggestions about the menu. I had the Burro Deluxe and I was overwhelmed by the size of it. The burro was covered in cheese sauce and it was literally bigger than my shoes! The photo doesn't do it justice. I managed to eat 1/3 of it and the waitstaff graciously provided to go boxes to allow me to eat it for the rest of the week!!! It was great fun looking at the celebrity photos and watching all the massive food plates being delivered. Truly a great experience and glad I returned to Mi Nidito! I will be back soon.

Food start with chips that were so bad I maybe ate 4 of them total. (Out of a bag?) The #3 combo…read morewas ok but nothing to slap yo gramma about. They only serve red sauce not really salsa at the table. Asked for some green sauce and was offered whatever they put on the green enchiladas. No thanks! Service was great all around. Ambiance is standard Tucson Mexican restaurant decor. Yelp on!

My favorite foods there: *Original "Charro Style" Tacos (like my Mexican friends' moms made them) *Seafood Enchiladas - con Rajas en Crema, a delicious white sauce *Green Corn Tamal - NOT your everyday tamal, but a finely ground masa, and great cheese and chiles; it was so fresh I asked if they were made to order So, to get two out of the three of these, order the Numero Cuatro Combinacion - with the Seafood Enchilada, a Shrimp Taco, and a Green Corn Tamal Oh, and they take reservations for two online - very accommodating.

They have people walking around just refilling chips and salsa. You can't go wrong. One person mentioned the salsa was spicy ketchup. Couldn't be further from the truth. It is a bare bones salsa but tastes nothing like ketchup. We got the chimichanga app. Very tasty. We shared some chicken tortilla soup and an air dried beef platter. The beef was interesting. It's the only place in the US that is allowed to do this. Very busy place! But they take great care of their customers.
