We eat here a lot. Been coming here for quick food for at least 10 years. We were in the drive thru line one evening and were stopped about 3 cars back. We had a good view of the outside door facing the vehicle line (pretty sure it was the bathroom) and there was brown liquid seeping out from underneath the door onto the concrete sidewalk. It was not something that made you hungry for sure. An awful site. I would move that door or close it off. A dumb place for it. Other than that, it was fixed the next time we went. We have NEVER gotten sick here at Fito's Taco Shop. That's how I judge these places and will return until the day I do. Employees wash their hands well and keep clean kitchen area. On the other hand, their competitors (other Mexican mobile food vehicles ie: (roach coaches) parked between the tracks in the past) we did get sick. WE GOT REAL SICK, (like a virus sickness, horrible week of fever) the first time we went, and then stopped going to those mobile food vendors FOREVER after that. At Fito's Taco shop, their burritos have always been massive and delicious. If you take them apart, the tortillas are about 20 inch diameter or larger. Short wait times in their drive thru is what I like. Friendly people at the window that I have always tipped. So, 5 stars minus one star for that day something backed up but that wasn't really their fault was it? And, they apparantly called it in right? They get all 5 stars. Tip them well folks. read more

This spot is a fast food Mexican taco shop similar to Filiberto's. They have a drive through and small indoor area. We ordered to go and I was so pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes. Very large portions. Their burritos are hefty, their nachos were loaded with meat and toppings, and their tostado and quesadillas were large and full. Service was quick and friendly. I recommend if you're looking for some fast Mexican food. read more

This place is a favorite with the locals, but unfortunately, the food is below average. I did like the chips, but other than that, the meat was pretty low quality, and as you can see, they don't even use any authentic Mexican queso cheese. Shredded cheddar is not very authentic, but neither are nachos, one could argue. The atmosphere reminds me of a 1980's run down Taco Bell. Service was fine. I know there is not a lot of options in the area, I would just travel farther for better food. read more

Not bad, but just OK. Convenient location in Vail. Stopped here because it was lunchtime and the train was going and Colossal Cave Rd was backed up waiting for the train to pass. Had the shredded beef burrito. Reasonably quick, not a particularly good value, and service was matter-of-fact serious / not particularly friendly. An OK place if you just want a quick meal in Vail. read more

The food was great, staff were friendly, and service was fast. We come back here all the time. If you don't know what to get, the carne asada burrito and the super fries are both great. The vibes are good in here. read more

This is the quintessential local AZ taco shop! I have been coming here for a while and have never had a bad meal or service yet. The burritos are HEFTY, filling and go great with an ice cold horchata. Definitely recommend for anyone passing through looking for a quick bite. read more

We love Fito's. They are always friendly and we love the food. We hope they continue to be in Vail for many years to come!

Checked out the reviews after grabbing a breakfast burrito. For Vail, it's a 5. Overall for Tucson, a solid 4.5. The food is hot and flavorful. You can't go wrong with a burrito or a plate--and don't forget the glass Coke! This is the kind of taco shop you take your family to. Overall, an amazing stop for a bite to eat. read more

I've gotten food from Fitos for years. My family loves it! They are always friendly and prices are reasonable. One of my favorite go to food places. read more

I love Fito's. Great service and tasty food. Their carne asada burritos and nachos are great!

Don't read Andrea's review. I've lived here for 8+ years and this is the only GOOD Mexican food you can get in the vail area. I've never had issues, the service is always great and the food is always great. And bashing the way they styled their FAMILY OWNED restaurant is pretty low if you ask me. read more

Tried Fito's on a whim. I would normally avoid a 3-star'd restaurant, but we were passing by and have noticed long lines in recent months. First impression upon walking in was wow, they use alot of Fabuloso to clean the place! Not off to a good start, as it's not an inviting scent in a taco shop! I want to smell tacos, and the inviting scents of onion, garlic, salsas, & carne asada! Service was very friendly and helpful. I ordered their shredded beef taco plate, and our table ordered a side of chips & salsa. Every single dish was delicious! Tacos were perfectly crunchy and flavorful! All 3 salsas were delicious and flavorful! Beans and Mexican rice were also flavorful and perfectly cooked! Hubby had their carnitas and also gave thumbs up for those. We will definitely be returning to get our taco fix! read more

My favorite Friday night go to, their green chile tacos are delicious! Friendly owners, too.

Great local taco shop. Best refried beans and the rolled tacos are fresh and tasty. Friendly staff, I've never had an issue here. These guys are local. Support local. Always. Quick drive thru and food is always fresh. Thanks Fitos. read more

Excellent food and atmosphere. Small taco shop off the side of the road, we decided to go in one day and we will definitely be back!

Fito's in Vail never disappoints! I've always received delicious food from a very friendly staff!!

Best fast food in area. Machaca combo plate is my fav. Appears a little smaller than normal but still healthy portion. Fito's Machaca always fresh and great taste. Get the green sauce. Tortillas are huge!!! read more

Love all the food that they serve. Friendly staff and quick service too! I highly recommend this place!

Have gone there 3 times after going to the Post Office, to mail something as they are just across the street. The third time the person taking the order was not as friendly as the person the first and second time that I went there. The Restaurant was clean and the service was quick. All three times we went for take out. Have gotten the 2 Fish Taco combo meal, 2 Beef Taco combo, 2 Ground Beef Burrito combo, 2 Shredded Beef Burrito combo, and a Shredded Beef Chimichanga, Buenuelos and a large Jamaica without Ice as we took the food home. Each time we got a lot of food that filled us up with extra food left over. The Bunuelos were good as we dipped them in Ice Cream, and the large Jamaica Drink was Larger than a large drink at most places. The prices were comparable to many of the other restaurants that we have been to for the same amount of food. read more

I got a breakfast burrito and it was pretty darn good. I enjoyed it and would go back again

Been coming here for years. Food is good, but not amazing....we come here mainly out of convenience. Every time we come the burritos get smaller and smaller. Today was my last visit ever. Bought 5 burritos and you wouldn't believe how small these things were. Their prices keep going up up up and we receive less every time we go. Filiberto's every time from here on out. Better food and you're still not hungry after eating. I'll make the 13 minute trip to Filiberto's in Rita Ranch every time this point forward instead of getting ripped off here again. I kid you not these 5 burritos we ordered here today contain less egg/meat than 2 Filiberto's burritos. read more

Fito's Taco Shop - Smaller breakfast burrito you've ever seen - Mexican Near Me - Vail, Arizona

It was an average breakfast burrito, nothing too special however it was also definitely not a disappointment and hit the spot! It was a little greasier than I initially expected and required all of the napkins they gave us. We also waited quite a while in the drive thru for someone to acknowledge us which was a bit frustrating. Overall, I wouldn't mind eating here again, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it either. read more

Great vibe in this little place. Great service and real food for a fair price. Will definitely come back.

great food not cheap but definitely not expensive. pretty yummy too. I would recommend coming here for some quick and good Mexican.

Wow! Walk in the door and get smacked in the nostrils with the smell of sewage! No bueno, sorry but no matter what the food is like and it was just ok (breakfast burrito) it's hard to overlook the stench. Just saying and Yelp on! read more

After living in the area for 20 years I finally went to Fitos. Breakfast burrito #1 was fantastic!

The food quality is good and consistent. Fast, friendly customer service. The beans are excellent.

Stopped by here after a five-mike hike in nearby Colossal Cave Mtn Park. Several other hikers in the group I was with gave this place raves "You gotta try the chicken enchiladas!" said one gal. I took her advice and they were indeed delicious. Big chucks of white meat were wrapped in the corn shells. The enchilada sauce needed no extra kick. My friends ordered three chicken tacos and they were stuffed with meat, lettuce and cheese. The dine-in is still closed but the drive-thru is busy read more

Cute side of the road joint with an old drive thru. Great tacos and beans. Portions a little small for the price but food is fresh and yummy. read more

It finally happened. After years of eating at and enjoying Nico's/Fito's, I got an unwelcome ingredient in my food. So long delicios Ranchero burrito. Maybe we will meet again some other day when I forget about this. read more

Absolutely delicious!!! We have been looking for a good Mexican place out here, and this is it!!! It's just like being back in OC, CA!

Great Mexican food. Get off the freeway and get some really good authentic Mexican food.

We went on Sunday and got The carne asada tacos, which where extremely salty, and tasters off. My husband end up not eating all of his and felt weird. Service was fine not to complain about. And the place is small but nice. Was definitely enjoying this place but now won't be back. read more

The worst "Mexican" food I've ever had and I e eaten at Taco Bell. Expensive and the sauce was literally ketchup. The cheese enchiladas were packed shredded cheddar cheese and it wasn't even melted. It was inedible. And the prices are ridiculous. read more

Been coming here for years. Mad horchata por favor? ..NO! No horchata refills, which my husband has ALWAYS gotten....always. I was basically called a liar and told I can get a soda refill for $1. When soda refills are free. The food has been hit or miss lately and the service has gone downhill. We used to go to Fito's 2-3 times a week. So I'm bummed to have to find a new taco shop but I'm willing to drive farther, into Tuscon, for a new favorite. read more

Fito's Taco Shop - Yummy carne asada tacos for lunch - Mexican Near Me - Vail, Arizona

Went there tonight. The person taking my order was not friendly and pretty much ignored me. I had to tell him at the window what I wanted to drink again. Then he tried to short change me two dollars and when I caught it he gave me the two dollars back but gave me a dirty look like I took his money. I think I am done with this place. Not that great anyway. read more

Be it ever so humble, there's noplace like Nico's. Nico's gets 5 stars in the category of Quick Mexican Food. You owe it to yourself if you are passing exit 279 on the 10 a little ways south of Tuscon. I had a fish taco & a chicken taco. My wife had a carnitas platter. It was all fresh and wonderful. Some of the best Mexican home cookin' I've had. I will definitely be stopping here again. I might even drive down from Phoenix for some of this stuff. And the prices! Total: $13 and change. And the portions! We easily could have shared the carnitas platter and skipped the tacos. Not that I would have missed the tacos. Especially the fish taco. Gorgeous. read more
