Amazing food and amazing service, I would recommend this to anyone in the area! Definitely a must go to if you want great Mexican food in Marana. read more

Stopped by here after picacho peak hiking. This was probably one of the only restaurants nearby. For the price, the food is great. Not the biggest fan of cash only on the weekends and the fact that there's no restroom was a little weird also not the cleanest establishment. But other than that, overall it was a great experience! The service was good otherwise as well. read more

Nicos Mexican Food - Beef Taco and Enchilada Combo Plate - Mexican Near Me - Marana, Arizona

Fast service in absolutely phenomenal food the people are very polite I highly recommend this Niko's to anybody that is looking for a good Mexican food read more

In 1999 while working at a local Tucson business in the early morning hours, the boss bought breakfast burritos for us all. When he said Nico's, everyone got excited and when is Al's I had never had it, they told me I was in for a treat. They were right. I can still remember that burrito, as big as my forearm, stuffed with egg, potato, bacon and cheese. It was delicious to the last bite. I became a Nico's devotee from that moment forward. As I travelled the world, whenever I returned home to the Old Pueblo, stopping at Nico's became a ritual for me and my family. That's why this review is difficult to write. While the food is still tasty and the portions are sizable, the customer service was dreadful. Apparently my first mistake was to ask about the "Flying Saucer" which is the Thursday special. I was told that it's basically a chimichanga with an open tortilla. It comes in chicken or beef machaca. I asked which the employee prefers, and received a smart Alec response that their tastes are different from mine. My wife ordered a carne asada chimichanga, I ordered the chicken spaceship, my son ordered the chicken tacos. Our friendly attendant forgot to take the taco order and we had to pay for that separately. Apparently Nico's has adopted a pricing scheme where the displayed price is only for cash payment. A different price is charged for credit cards. This policy is explained with a small sign by the register. Nowhere does it explain the difference. Apparently credit cards negate the special. The attendant told me that Filiberto's does the same thing, when I asked about the difference in price of what was charged from what was on the menu. The funny thing is that I don't mind the surcharge. I resent the lack of transparency, and the rude behavior from the attendant. So, thanks for the memories. I don't need the attitude. read more

Delicious and fresh food, friendly service - I can't recommend them highly enough! They do prefer cash on the weekends, but do accept cards.

1000000 times over and over again I will recommend this specific Nico's. Is the best in town, customer service is great, food is absolutely amazing and flavorful, and the building is clean and it's quiet. Great spot and thankful for the workers. read more

I love the rolled tacos with guacamole and cheese. Breakfast burritos and chili Reno burrito are my favorites.

Really good food and family friendly with customer service Family and I come here every time we're on this side of town It's a lovely mom and pop shop read more

Was out at Pinal Air Park with crew and decided to stop in Marana for Mexican Food. Spotted Nico's off the Interchange and at first glance, it looked like a hole in the wall place. Some of my best finds have been hole in the wall places. Yelp reviews were good. Server said the steak chimichanga was one of the two best sellers. It was served with guacamole and pico. Steak was good. Hard to cut deep fried tortilla with a plastic knife so brought in my buck knife. Very tasty food and the salsa had a good kick. We all had free refills at the soda fountain. Other two people had combo plates and they were happy, but kept looking at my Chimi....Tab with tax was about $51. Quantity and quality were worth it. read more

I stopped by this location for the first time to fix my burrito craving. I got a mixed burrito (beef and bean). You can choose shredded beef with peppers/onions or ground beef. Shredded was the obvious choice. It easily weighed over a pound! The meat was lacking in seasoning and I wanted more beans but overall I enjoyed it and would get it again. I didn't like the red or green salsa, but luckily had salsa at home. The lady working was extremely nice and patient while I decided and the food was ready within 5 minutes. read more

There are several Nicos in the Tucson area. We were in Marana so that is where we ate. It's just a tiny little restaurant. Seating inside was comfortable. They offer is a large selection of Mexican dishes and options. You order at the counter and pick it up when it's done. We got a couple different combo plates and saw several people order the burritos..... I think that is the thing to get. They are very large and look delicious! The ladies behind the counter were very nice and helpful in suggestions on food. We got our order to go so we enjoyed our food at home. The food was tasty and plentiful . read more

Got a bacon breakfast burrito and it was probably the worst breakfast burrito I've ever had. Little bacon with tons of potato but the worst part is that it was saturated in grease and wasn't wrapped properly make it fall apart . Waste of $10 as I couldn't even finish it. But to be honest this seems to be a normal here in Arizona as not many taco shops can make a good burrito in my opinion. I would return to this place as it's a normal place to stop before work on my route but next times I'll just stick to rolled tacos or beef tacos as those are hard to mess up. read more

Nicos Mexican Food - Mexican Near Me - Marana, Arizona

one of the best Mexican shops in marana. the food is cheap but good. I would come back 1000000000 times

Food is awesome and service is always great! I recommend calling when you're headed there to expedite your service in the drive thru

The service is always really friendly and I enjoy going for the same thing which is the macacha breakfast plate. Even my toddler loves it. We've started ordering ahead and using the drive thru which is also really convenient read more

So ordered #11 and price was way more expensive when I got to the window and what was listed. Giving you a five star review, even though you deserve less. Please make sure you provide consistency to your customers. Your food was good so not going to ding you on that. But it's important that you do provide honest consistency. read more

Looks a little run down, on the side road with a dirt parking lot...but decent food and very pleasant staff. This is a fast food Mexican Restaurant, not a lot of interior or exterior seating. Standard Mexican food offerings, primarily burritos and tacos which you can get solo or on a plate with rice and refried beans. Good food and the staff were all friendly and patient. I got the Marana (California or Arizona) Burrito It was down perfect. We took to go and we did not stay long. The dirt parking lot had a swap meet going on and you will have to avoid pot holes. If you like fast food and local Mexican food, then this is a good place to stop other than all the corporate places that are springing up. Worth the try. read more

Great food, generous portions, friendly staff - glad their new location is so close to us. Still trying items on the menu, and so far everything has been great! read more

Food is good depending who is making it, you can get a large portion or a huge one that will last two meals. Extremely pricey since COVID.

Fantastic local hole in the wall Carne Asada Burritos! These guys are always super friendly, orders are prepared very quickly, and food is quality! Never disappointed! read more

For the price not worth it! We got two drinks and two carne asada burritos. All were bad the drinks were hot and not well mixed so they gave us another one thinking it would be better than the first two nope just as bad and the meat was not traditional carne, tasted way different from authentic idk if it was the seasoning or what but I couldn't even finish it. read more

Fast service for how busy it was when I went! And the food was very delicious per usual:)

Wow great authentic Mexican food! Fresh and hot!! What a great find! Great staff and great price. The place is clean too! read more

Yes! it's a dive. Yes, it's in the middle of nowhere. Yes, I really enjoyed my breakfast burrito! I'm one of those people who usually order off the menu. On my way out to West New Mexico(Tucson). I stopped off and ordered a Pork Chili Verde and eggs burrito. This is something I always ordered no matter where I go for breakfast. Something I grew up in the real Arizona(Phoenix Area) with my grandmother. Yes, she was from New Mexico! Nico's had no problem with the order. They were very nice, and prices were very decent. It's always a hit or miss with the Chili Verde, and Nico's was a hit. I like it with a nice kick, and theirs gave me a kick. I only went through the drive through, and it was pretty fast. When I come back in the area, I'll make sure I'll stop by again. read more

I stopped in for lunch to try this place out for the first time. Staff was friendly, and they recommended the Marana Burrito with carne asada. The burrito was HUGE. I placed a standard size napkin next to it for a size comparison. Although employee recommended french fries, instead of potatoes inside this burrito, I opted for the standard potatoes. It was delicious! The restaurant itself is kind of small with only about 10 tables inside, but there are a few tables outside to eat at if you prefer the outdoors. Nico's Mexican Food is a solid spot for good Mexican food. read more

Damn, I really like this place, we stop every time we come thru, but "one carne burrito, just meat and cheese, enchilada style" is now $17, so I guess I'll keep truckin. read more

OMG. We stopped here and we're not sure. Truly is a hole in the wall off the better path, but so worth it. We were going light, so just ordered the chicken quesadilla. Well it was not small , the three of us could have spilt one in our "going light". But boy was it delicious. Fresh thin tortillas, meat was tender and amazing taste. The pico de gallo was spot on. There was also an enchilada order in the group that was also amazing. Next time we are traveling down I10 I will stop here. read more

This is my second go-to Mexican food restaurant in the town of Marana. Whenever I do go here it is always packed around 12pm. They don't have an intercom ordering system so you have to decided what you want at their menu and drive up to their window to order. I like ordering the Bean Chimichanga Enchilada Style. The enchilada sauce they pour over the chimichanga is delicious. It has the right amount of spiciness. It's served with cheese and lettuce on the side and extra sauce. YUM! read more

Nicos Mexican Food - Bean chimichanga enchilada style - Mexican Near Me - Marana, Arizona

Don't be fooled by the outside of this restaurant. While it may look a bit sketchy the food is absolutely not. In fact it's some of the best Mexican food I have had since moving to the Tucson area. I ordered two chicken enchiladas and one carne asada taco. I also had the horchata drink. Everything was cooked perfectly and the carne asada taco had a wonderful flavor. The two chicken enchiladas were full of chicken and cheese and had a bunch of wonderful red sauce on top. I wish I had some chips to dip! The prices are decent and the food portions are large for what you pay. It's definitely worth the trip if you're in Tucson! I will certainly be back for more! read more

Whoa! ACROSS THE BOARD $$ INCREASE. I take my last review back! The prices, which were ok before are not okay anymore. I get that there's covid, but the price jump is too aggressive. Every price on the menu has a white piece of paper with the new cost. Example: the 5 ROLLED TACOS FOR $5 I mentioned on my 1st review are now $6.75. Sad face. I'll find another taco joint where I can afford it. read more

Nicos Mexican Food - Almost 4 bucks for this side of rice. Ridiculous :( - Mexican Near Me - Marana, Arizona

Came here for lunch. We were pressed for time and they got us in and out in a decent amount of time. We ordered at the counter and got our food in just a few moments. We ordered combo meals, which just mean rice and beans. The first thing I noticed was how much food was served. Next, the food was really good. We were so full, we were miserable. Going back to work or class, after this meal, was going to be tough staying awake in the afternoon. But it was worth it. The food was good. Service was good. Place was clean. People were coming in and at the drive thru. We missed the rush. I recommend. read more

Love this place! I'm usually always craving Mexican food and the fact that this is so close by and is open late helps when the cravings hit! The rolled tacos are my go too when ordering from here but the carne asada plate is a must! They are fast and delicious! read more

great customer service and best carne asada burrito I've ever had!! burritos are a good side and great flavor !

There's not much in this area of Marana, Arizona to eat at the moment. Hell ever, the area is growing. The crazy thing is when I was visiting there I had super nachos on my mind. I had no idea there was a Nico's down the street from where I was at, it's not visible from the freeway. I didn't want to go in because of covin so I used the drive-through. When thing you need to know about their drive-through is that it is semi operational. So when you pull up there is a number displayed on the back of the restaurant you will call to place your order. It took me a minute to figure out but once I did I drove up to the window to pay. Filling and delicious thank you nicos. read more

Excellent chimichanga - possibly the best I have had. It was also huge so we split and were very satisfied.

Amazing food. Love the breakfast burritos. Never eaten anything from here that wasn't great.

This is our "go to" for quick Mexican food. My husband loves the Taco and Cheese Enchilada special, or the Chicken Enchiladas special. They are two of his favorite dishes from this place. The food is Plentiful and the prices are good. read more

The worst Mexican food in town. The service was terrible. Everything was just reheated with no spice and the cashier was too busy on his phone to help anyone. A big zero. read more

This location is a hidden gem. But like, seriously. I live in the area and did not know it existed for the first two years. Oops.... Portion sizes are great, food is delish, customer service is friendly and speedy, and the drive thru is strangely cool. Love this place! read more

There's not many places to eat in Gladden Farms/Marana area. Other than the Nico's, there is a McDonald's and a pizza place. They are building more, but at the current time options are limited. Be that as it may, I'm definitely glad that Nicos is one of the options. I've ordered multiple items from the menu and they are all delicious. Some of the things I have ordered are the Chile Reallno, the Marana burrito, the breakfast burrito, the carne asada chips and the nachos. This location has the option of eating inside or going through the drive thru. You can also call ahead and order. Every time I have been to this location they have been very efficient in taking my order and making my food. I would definitely recommend this Nicos to anyone in the area. I'm not sure about any of the other locations, but this ones got it figured out. read more
