Not a hello or how can I help you. Just stood there. I was not sure if she was ready to take my order or what.
Daniel J.

Food is pretty good, but there is some poorly trained staff with little manners. Don't mind trying place out again, but this was poor experience.

Tacos

The tacos were good but then I picked up this lime that obviously didn't get washed well.

Now that is a chimi, but Fitos knows it is what is on the inside that counts.
Al S.

The chimi I was looking for tonight. Usually I am weary about something rated around three stars but after failing earlier at Pacos I knew anything could be better. Fitos took my expectations and double downed. I went with a long time customer (fanatic may be appropriate) who gets the two ground beef taco combo. She swears by it and with a taste I could agree, solid flavor, but my preference on tacos is more towards lengua and corn tortillas. My chimi was prepared to my pickiness - shredded beef, crispy, add potatoes and chicken. You also get enchalada sauce with cheese, lettuce, guac and salsa fresca. Even when i got home the steam was rising from the perfectly cooked filling and fried burrito. This had plenty of both meats and the potatoes were perfectly firm. All of the trims made this an awesome make up session from prior disappointment and I will return for another picky order as they are nothing but kind and accommodating.

The taco and enchilada dinner.

Do you ever just crave tasty, no frills comfort food that feels like a hug? If you desire crazy good shredded beef tacos that drip delightful juice down your hand, then head over to Fito's. The food is fresh, made to order goodness that will leave you full to the brim. I had the shredded beef taco and cheese enchilada dinner (served with refried beans and rice). The enchilada and taco swim in an insanely good enchilada sauce. That dark brown liquid would taste good on anything! I'm not kidding - I didn't lick the styrofoam, though. I showed restraint (yay me!). The lettuce and cheese are finely grated, which I love! The beans still had some that weren't mashed. Just good Mexican food. My husband had the two taco dinner, and they were great, but he didn't have that amazing enchilada sauce. Therefore, I had the better dinner. Just kidding - both dinners were complete winners. We also got chips and cheese with salsa. The salsa is super fresh, and the chips are crisp and covered with melted cheese. Yummy! Simple, good food fills the bill and the tummy!!!

Texas burrito with add one of rice, guacamole and pico best combo !!

Quick service with friendly faces always greeting. There good is delicious with lots of flavor and love put in it between there burritos to there fries they are amazing!

catapiller

We used to eat here probably 4 or 5 times a month, same order every time. Always respectful and sweet and I always leave a tip when I go in. Tonight we ordered our usual and this was sitting on my husbands paper, so I asked uhhh what is that, and him being a man thinking it was just an onion in the pico took it off his chip because it looked funny. I took a close look and realized what we have here is a crispy catapiller. I get it, things happen and not all things can be avoided, but in this case I'm really bummed. My husband called and just to let the guys know what had happened and before an apology we got excuses that they wash their veggies. Also fine, but my husband got frustrated because there was no apology given, once my husband asked the guy said he was "sorry" my husband got very frustrated because we were not even offered an apology let alone any compensation. The employee said " well if you use kind words man than I'm sorry and I could like idk refund your money" Terrible customer service. I get it. Things happen. But at the least you could say " im sorry" and maybe even offer a remake of the food that had the catapiller in it.

Filled to the top!

I can't believe how happy we were to find a neighborhood taco shop. Their stuff is fresh and their servings are abundant. Ate twice here and just tried it this week. Everything we've tried is really good and the beans seem authentic.

Jim S.

Really disappointed for the extra charge to "toast " my veggie burrito especially since I said no cheese or sour cream which are probably the two most expensive ingredients that I am saving them from putting on the burrito.....time to head to another place....bummer

Chile Relleno Burrutos!
Nick W.

What is a Nico's doing so deep on the NE side of Tucson? Who cares. It's Nico's: it's tasty, it's fast, and you know what you're getting. In this case it's not open very late and I think it's a little more expensive than other locations. Still, it's in the middle of nowhere (near my house) and that is enough to make me love it. (Edit: I also forgot to mention their special! If you like Chile Relleno Burritos, wait until your try out their special, a Chile Relleno Burruto!)

Which, you know, is kind of the whole point of a restaurant. The atmosphere was great, a little on the nose, but great none the less. It feels like a Mexican dinner or at least what I imagined a dinner in Mexico would look like. The staff where beyond amazing, especially the woman who made our complementary salsa right at the table. And the salsa was yummy but sadly that's the only part of the meal that I can say that about. The thing is, nothing was truly bad, but just about everything was incredibly bland. You'd have expected someone who puts raisins in potato salad to have served it, not an authentic Mexican restaurant. Though the positive is the lack of seasoning is really the only major problem. The food did not have any weird taste, it wasn't dry, the presentation was fine. It simply needs to be seasoned and this place goes to a solid 4/5 rather than a three.

Located in downtown Tucson, this iconic restaurant is full of character and beautifully decorated. We visited on a Saturday around 1 PM without a reservation and were told there would be a wait since the place was packed. They only have air conditioning in the indoor dining areas and basement, not on the outdoor patio. Luckily, we were seated in the basement, which turned out to be perfect. The service was commendable truly some of the sweetest and most attentive service we've experienced in a long time. We started with freshly made chips and salsa, which were an instant hit. For drinks, we ordered the El Tamarindo, Mangopeno, and Monica's Cafetini. For food, we chose the Vegan Jackfruit Taquitos Trio and the Fresh Corn Tamale Platter, which came with a side of squash. The drinks were excellent, with the Mangopeno being my favorite. But the real star of the meal was the tamale platter. Oh my goodness it was absolutely delicious! Everyone at the table kept digging in and couldn't get enough. Even the squash side was so flavorful that we ordered an extra serving. The vegan jackfruit taquitos were a bit too deep-fried for our liking and didn't quite compare to the incredible tamales. To finish, we shared a caramel flan, which was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. The pricing was very reasonable, the service was exceptional, and the food was memorable. We will definitely be back again if only for those amazing tamales!

She was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind, and she made our whole experience feel welcoming from start to finish. The hosts were kind too. There was plenty of seating, a dedicated bar, TVs, and nice lighting. The patio has misters, which is perfect for this time of year. They offer booth and table seating, and the tables aren't packed too close together. With party members who have different mobility challenges, the spacing was great and made everything comfortable. The food was delicious. The complimentary bottomless chips and salsa were fresh and generous. If you order the horchata, it comes with free refills too, which is such a nice touch. My husband ordered 2 birria tacos with caldo and loved them. My father in law ordered 2 ground beef enchiladas with red sauce, and my mother in law ordered 2 plain ground beef tacos. I shared the ceviche with my dad, which was fresh and flavorful, and we each ordered one Quesabirria. It was so good! Dessert was perfect. We tried the flan and the chocolate flan. The chocolate flan was a moist Bundt-style chocolate cake with flan on top. Both were creamy, delicious, and enjoyed by all of us. Great service, great food, and Alexa truly made our first visit special. We'll definitely be back!

Honestly, I wish I could give Yaquesita a little more, maybe half a star more, because this place definitely has potential. Their flavors are good, but compared to similar restaurants the menu feels a bit overpriced. For a party of three we ended up paying around $100, which felt like a bit much for what we got. The restaurant itself is pretty small with only about 3-4 tables inside, but the patio is a decent size and has a cute vibe. It's actually a nice option on cooler days if you don't mind sitting outside. Some items were better than others. The wet-style burrito was delicious and definitely a highlight. The quesabirrias were good, however the birria felt more like fancier shredded beef. It was missing that rich, spicy, slightly acidic, earthy flavor that usually sets birria apart from barbacoa or traditional shredded beef dishes. The bowl was just okay and had lots of lettuce. It felt more like a salad with a bit of meat, rice, and beans. Honestly, Chipotle does bowls better, and that says a lot considering the price. The nachos were good, but I've had better. Seis Kitchen has amazing nachos to share. That said, it's definitely a place I'd come back to mainly out of convenience, not because one particular item on the menu won my heart. I really do hope they continue refining the menu because the flavors are there and this place could easily become a standout spot. Personally I just think at the total price of my ticket other restaurants should not even have room in my mind during my meal. If you're in the area and looking for a safe bet where everyone will probably find something they like, it's worth giving them a try.
