Delicious and fast drive through Mexican food! Pleasant service at the window. My burrito exceded expectations

They're always so nice to make my breakfast burrito "dietetic ", without the tortilla. I add extra onions and cheese and add a side of of sour cream and salsa verde. It's enough for two breakfasts honestly, if I could stop read more

Nico's is great. Had a cardiologist appt in Tucson and tried a Sports Bar down the street blasting rap drove us out of parking lot back on Broadway and saw Nico's sign, went inside as we do not eat in car and our trips to Tucson takes 3 1/2- 5 hrs. Will be stopping at Nico's from now on! Delicious nachos and enough to share. Quiet and clean. The most friendly staff. Now our fav lunch stop in Tucson! So good! I can see why it's a popular drive-thru in Tucson! It's our's now, too! read more

This is the place to go for tasty and affordable Mexican food. Prices are still lower here than at other places, and the portions are filling. We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon after another afternoon walking along the Loop with our dogs. I had a Flying Saucer and my friend ordered a Super Burrito. Both meals were under $11. Service was fast and friendly. My Saucer had plenty of chicken to compliment the refried beans. I ate it all, including the fried flour shell. I didn't need to eat anything else the rest of the day. This place has outdoor seating facing Broadway, but our dogs were happy resting in the truck in the shade read more

I've been craving a great breakfast burrito and Nico's is it. I've tried a couple around town and this is definitely my favorite so far, hands down. Chorizo & Eggs Burrito with potatoes was amazing. Quick and kind service, stuffed, and not too expensive. I will definitely be back! read more

This location absolutely sucks. They are NEVER open when they say they will be--whether you're looking at business hours online or the hours posted on the front door. There have been at least three separate occasions in the last two years when we have showed up during their posted business hours only to find no one there. The food? It's fine! Middle-of-the-road drive-thru Mexican: Better than Losbetos and Viva, but not as good as Filiberto's and certainly not as good as any food truck. But the prices are definitely higher than the quality of the food. That's always been my issue with Nico's. Two burritos will easily run you $20. Assuming they're even open to make them for you, that is. read more

I'm a big fan of the Steak, Eggs and cheese burritos and lately at other Nico's they have been skimping on steak and replacing it with potatoes but that isn't the case here. The burrito's are packed with steak and still under $10. read more

I walked by Nico's Mexican Food when I was out for a stroll while staying nearby. When I did I was interested and filed it in the back of my mind to possibly stop in. I'm certainly glad I did. The inside is very unassuming but it works well. You'll find a very extensive menu board posted overhead and a clean dining area. I quickly found what I wanted and ordered to go. I ordered two bean burritos without cheese. I'll put my disclaimer here if anyone is mostly plant based like I am, I don't know if the re fried beans contain lard. I didn't ask. Some places use lard in their re fried beans and if I would have thought of it at the time I would have asked. Anyway, my to go order came out very fast (less then 5 minutes) in the mean time I visited the salsa bar and got a few tasty looking salsas. I wish they were labeled but it's not a big deal. The burritos were huge! Truly large portions are served here. When I got back to my hotel I ate the burritos and they were very, very good. I was surprised at the flavors of such a simple dish but the tortilla was outstanding and the beans were on point. I added salsas to them and it just made the flavors more intense. I really enjoyed my meal and it was very reasonably priced. The service was very warm and kind. I will most definitely be back if I am in the area again. read more

Nico's Mexican Food - Beautiful bean cheese and rice burrito - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Nico's is a Tucson fast food institution! This chain of Mexican-inspired restaurants offers a simple menu of tacos, burritos, tostadas, enchiladas, chimichangas, quesadillas, tortas, and combo plates, all with a similar selection of proteins and all at ridiculously cheap prices! But I have to admit.. my first bite of Nico's was a sore disappointment. I started with the green chile taco, which came with chunks of pork in a chile verde salsa, topped with lettuce and shredded processed white and yellow cheese, all on two soft corn tortillas. The pork was disappointingly dry and the salsa was flavorless. On the side came two additional salsas (red and green), but both of these were watery and flavorless too. A slight improvement on the chile verde was the shredded beef taco, which came on a slightly crunchy (but pliable) tortilla shell along with the same generic lettuce/cheese toppings. The beef tasted better and was juicier than the pork, but overall, this taco was still a bit of a disappointment flavorwise. But then my eyes were opened. Nico's has a whole menu of breakfast burritos (served all day), and I ordered the machaca and eggs burrito. The machaca was a shredded dried beef, which had been rehydrated and then layered with scrambled egg and green chili pepper, all wrapped up inside a flour tortilla. The machaca was definitely the star of the burrito--it was super juicy and had a hearty, meaty flavor that went surprisingly well with the scrambled egg and the slight spice of the chili pepper. The flour tortilla that the burrito came on was unlike flour tortillas I've had elsewhere--it was super chewy and slightly gummy (in a good way) and even had some flavor all on its own! It was the perfect vessel for delivering the delicious fillings of the burrito! So while the tacos at Nico's were skippable, the burritos were a revelation, and the amount of meat that came inside was unbelievable given the price point! read more

Mexican food was delicious. Tasted like I was in Mexico. I had their beef taco and beef burrito combo. Also had a issue that they immediately took care of went above and beyond to be helpful and great solution. This was done as a delivery to my home and over the phone. I love going there for my Mexican food fix. read more

Not good burritos. If you like a giant flavorless Super Burrito this could be good for you but if you like flavor and juiciness and cheesiness move on. The carne asada looked old and boiled. It was chewy and not seasoned. The tortilla was barely cooked, we took it home and threw them on the stove to toast. The Fish Tacos was inedible. The fish itself was hard. It looks like they burned the fish and still decided to put it in the tacos. The Nachos Supreme was store bought chips with a spoon of the boiled beef thrown on top and cheese melted on top. The only good thing was the salsa. read more

I've come to the drive through a few times specifically for the rolled tacos. They are not like typical taco shops because the rolled tacos are twice as big and seem to have better quality. The only downside is that they put them in paper and then place a pile of cold cheese on them without heating it. Sort of hard to eat that way when you're on the run. But I'll def keep going back! read more

Seriously GOOD! I have tried all over Tucson to find a really good tasty, not greasy chorizo burrito, and I found it here, this is the only location that makes it perfect! everything we have tried here is delicious. You cannot go wrong.! read more

Not bad for fast Mexican. The drive-thru is the only option as dine in is closed. The service was pretty fast and the menudo was pretty good. It was a nice balance of hominy and tripe. I wish they had packed chiles and oregano, but got the other accompaniments like limes, onions, and cilantro. The menudo ran about $8 which seems to be reasonable price for the food. read more

Food is SO GOOD. We got the carne asada burrito and it is just as good as all the other reviews say it is. My boyfriend has had a ton of Mexican food before and called it the best burrito he's EVER had. Meat is very juicy and plentiful. Chicken enchiladas are also very good. Meat is also juicy and plentiful. Sauce is mild but good flavor. Beans are slightly chunky which I like. Fish tacos were okay. Slightly bland and taco fell apart because there was so much filling inside. Would probably recommend something else. Overall, food is super good and service is quick!! Also, make sure you check in here so that if you get a combo, you get a free medium drink! read more

I ordered a machaca & egg burrito this morning.15 minutes later I eat it & 1) it's NOT machaca (dried beef) its straight birria. I know what a machaca burrito is and they gave me birria! 2) They included all the birria JUICE when they plopped it in my tortilla which meant the tortilla was soggy & dripping enough juice that it filled their salsa container. I'm highly disappointed that they didn't give me what I asked for. If you didn't have machaca on hand then say so & I would have ordered something else. I was at work & unable to return the burrito. This was my second bad experience at this location & was hoping with alot of time passed they improved but apparently not. I'll stick to Nicos on Broadway & Kolb where they give you what you order, food is seasoned well, & fire it up as you order. Avoid this location!! read more

Me and my husband use to love going here I'm not to sure if it's just the new employees or what but we both got extremely sick after with food poisoning and not to mention we got super nachos and super burrito just for it to be not evenly proportioned so half the food was straight guacamole and sour cream and like no carne sada read more

Definitely the most excellent chorizo burrito I've eaten as of late. THEY HAVE REAL POTATOES HERE!!! YAY! Horchata is delish. Service is quick and pleasant. read more

Quick service at the drive thru, excellent price for an absolutely huge and delicious burrito! Will be back when I am in Tucson.

They use diced potatoes instead of Papas Fritas in their California Burrito. Both a surprise and a disappointment. California Burrito is supposed to have "street fries". Otherwise the quality is fine. read more

I was very happy with my order at this location. The 6 rolled tacos chicken is my favorite but what makes it better is the guys that work in the mornings I also seem to catch the crew that is always warm and welcoming and more appreciative of the business than you'd come to expect from a fast food Mexican spot. That makes the difference! Sometimes you can appreciate a friendly smile at the start of a hectic day when you just need a taco. I go the extra mile avoiding the other Nicos on Broadway (which is closer to me) only because of the service being much better and the food always on point and made to a higher standard. Thank you nIcos and thanks to the morning crew happy to help! They make the difference!! read more

Nico's is a Tucson institution that has been around for many years, and now boasts several locations in Southern Arizona. At first, they might seem to be a little expensive, but you get what you pay for, since they provide you with some massive quantities of food! I really love their bacon egg and cheese breakfast burritos, and was surprised to find that they now serve them 24 hours a day. For lunch I highly recommend their taco salad, which I wash down with a cup of horchata. read more

Quantity over quality. The burrito is huge but has no taste. The steak burrito tasted boiled, and the tortilla was raw and uncooked. Fish Taco had 3 rock hard stripes that looked like burnt fries. It was inedible and had to be throw out. All in - we wasted $60 on 4 burritos and nachos. Expensive. Will not return. read more

Ok... back today for lunch and I need a damn nap... that's right, Post Meal Sleepies (AKA PMS) or as some know it... puppy tummy is in full effect. On the menu for today, Carne Asada Burrito. Good lord... day two and another menu item that literally rivals any I've had elsewhere if not surpasses. Dead serious... The portions and required ingredients are generous, the fillers and nonsense are nonexistent. Just an absolutely fantastic meal. Staff: Courteous, happy, friendly, helpful and proficient. Seating area and kitchen: spotless and organized. Bathroom: Clean!!! All said, I'll be back and I'll recommend to any who ask. read more

The service is great, but the food is always undercooked. I've order multiple times now, and every time it is undercooked. The potatos are not done, which cause them to feel hard and not taste right. The cheese is never melted. The bacon is soft and chewy, when it's supposed to be crunchy. Things like this make a huge difference in the quality of the meal, and I'm not gonna come here anymore if my food is going to be undercooked every time. read more

So I'm in town because I had planned on something and it was a total fail. Now I'm hungry and what's around? Been hearing this place called nico in the tucson area. Fast mexican food. Kind of like out los favs in the phx valley only this particular location was incredible. Now I actually had something before this but my roommate was still hungry and wanted to check this place. I got the 3 rolled tacos with guac and cheese and she got the flying saucer. So heres my thing with rolled tacos. Not the greatest food pick. But if you get the right stuff in then boom I'm happy. Well it wasnt that great. Seriously is this only a AZ thing. Back in cali all the rolled tacos come with guac and cheese without having me to ask and on top shredded lettuce and sour cream. So yea. Kind of a bummer. My roommate offered some of her flying saucer. Just so I cant get a opinion on that. Wow. Wtf. Why didnt I order this (lol cause I was full that's why) this was great. This was much better than los favs and what made this better was the carne asada. It wasnt chewy and soft. Alot of fast food mexican joints tend to have really chewy asada. For me that's a game changer. Why. Because it's been cooked with flavor. Flavor is still in the meat. If its chewy you're not going to think about flavor. That's what you want when take your first bite. read more

I was at my wits end when I came here. Long day of hiking all day and dealing with a toddler that just would not go to bed. As soon as daddy tagged in (we were traveling) I was out the door! Literally, I don't even think I put on a bra. I sat my happy butt down with a giant plate of nachos and just let the nachos take all of my stress and anxiety away. After a very long day of hiking and exploring, this stuff plus a lime jarrito soda hit the SPOT! It's not fancy, most of the best fast mexican places aren't. My goal was to eat all the mexican food I could while I was in Arizona. This place was great, cheap, fast. read more

I ate so Nico's for three meals in a single day while I was in town (live in FL) for work. For breakfast I ordered the chorizo burrito but added potatoes and cheese. Bad choice. The potatoes were too but and were firmer than I like. I ended up picking them out. For lunch I had their super burrito which was amazing. And for dinner the plain chorizo burrito. If I could have I would have brought a couple dozen chorizo burritos with me back to FL. read more

Go! read more

I came here one or two times to try the California burrito because I heard this location was the same chain as the ones located around southern California and San Diego. I got the California burrito which came with carne asada, fries, cheese, pico, and I think sour cream (which is not the same as the one in SD). I was definitely a little disappointed probably because my expectations were too high but definitely think this is one of the better taco shops in Tucson. read more

A drive through visit for a breakfast burrito: a bit of a wait, but service was very friendly, ending with the question, red or green salsa? In the bag: enough little cups of salsa to fill a bathtub, fourteen napkins and a burrito the size of a newborn. Between the salsa and the grease from the chorizo laced through, what must have been four eggs, the fourteen napkins were barely enough. I'm a three-meal-a-day kind of guy and I didn't need lunch that day. The grease also stayed with me the rest of the day. If you live in Tucson and have never been to a Nico's or something ending in Bertos or Betos you are either a health nut or a hermit but this particular location is strictly about those breakfast burritos for me. Just keep the Tums bottle close after one. read more
