Restaurant was clean. Staff was friendly and most importantly food was excellent !! I had the small barbacoa burrito and my wife the carnita tacos. Generous portions and so flavorful. Would definitely recommend. read more

Nini's Taqueria - Burrito bowl with Barbacoa - Mexican Near Me - Durango, Colorado

Surprising find that was open on Christmas Day! Service was excellent and food was fast, hot and yummy!

Don't come here thinking you are getting a good Mexican meal. It's far from it. 3 tacos and drinks $53

Fine overall. Good for a quick bite. A little different than city street tacos. Staff is also fine, overall. Vibes like a solid four star.

The best meal that my family and I enjoyed during our one-week trip to Durango. Was a little worried walking in around lunchtime with such a large party, but the employees were very welcoming and accommodating. Going off one of the server's recommendations, I ordered the carnitas (shredded pork) burrito with sides of tomatillo and roasted Serrano salsas, which were mouthwateringly delicious. And I'll note that they didn't skimp on the meat. The food was served hot and fresh, it was extremely delicious and filling, and everyone loved what they ordered. Thanks to the few employees working at the time who stepped up and really made our experience a truly enjoyable one! read more

Cute place with nice people behind the counter making your food to order. I'm spoiled by street tacos in Los Angeles , so know that as you read on. Sadly, the chicken tacos are rather bland, even with the salsa verde trying to liven them up. The chicken wasn't warm enough to soften the shredded cheese, much less melt it. The flour tortilla was nice, but couldn't save the lack of anything interesting happening inside it. read more

I've been in Colorado for two weeks and have eaten a variety of places at varying price points and Nini's is bar far my favorite! Simple, yes! But wonderful flavors throughout. I got the barbacoa burrito with the chipotle purée and my wife got a veggie burrito with roasted Roma tomato. We were nearly slapping each other with glee, as our tastebuds were consumed with flavor! read more

SO. GOOD. My husband raved about this place when he lived in Durango, so we stopped in with my dad midmorning for an early lunch. I vaguely remembered my last time here but noticed that they started serving breakfast! I was excited to try something different and ordered their avocado toast. It was delicious! Be sure to read through the description of the dish as it's definitely not what I would've expected for an avo toast. The thick slices of toast are topped with creamy scrambled eggs, bacon, kale, and some balsamic. It was absolute perfection. The entire dish was delicious: I literally devoured the entire thing nearly instantly. My husband went for his usual quesadilla, which I had a bite of and was delicious as always. I'm glad I chose to venture out and try the avocado toast. I'd definitely order some other items from their breakfast menu. This is definitely a pretty casual spot: you walk up to order and grab any available seat. We were fortunate that the weather was pretty nice as most of their seating is on an outdoor patio. Everyone we encountered service-wise was pleasant and helpful. This has definitely become a Durango regular for us and I know we'll be stopping back during our next trip! read more

holy fuck it was awful and so expensive. Taco Bell is better. a plate of microwaved nachos with meat was $18?!!! and the use that minute made rice. idk. wish I could get my money back read more

Not sure if It's under new management, but it had a different feel to the whole restaurant. The menu was difficult to read. Ordered and paid. 2 items were quesadillas and needed to be grilled. We were told they would bring them to us. We went to the patio to sit. 10 - 15 minutes went by and our food did not arrive. Went to ask about it and it became a big issue. They gave our order to other customers! They finally put another order on the grill for us and I waited this time, but was told they would bring it to us. After about 5 minutes it arrived. It tasted good, but was disappointed in the service. They were not very busy. read more

Breakfast burrito had some of the freshest ingredients I've ever had. 5/5, might come back for lunch

Nini's now has breakfast! (Seriously, this is big news in our little town.) I was amazed by how delicious my breakfast burrito was. It is high protein and seemed to have quality ingredients. Came with a tasty green sauce. Many breakfast choices, including a salmon dish. I work nearby, so this is going to be my go-to spot for breakfast & coffee (a local roast) many mornings now. Still open for lunch and dinner, of course. Dog friendly. Very kind local owners, too. read more

I've been coming to Nini's for quite sometime now and it's amazing. The tacos are so good, I always get the chicken tacos with tomatillo salsa. I always recommend Nini's to anyone who's looking for something new and fresh. The staff is always so nice and super chill. The restaurant is in a nice location as well, they have outdoor dining as well. But I prefer to sit inside. read more

Delicious food and great service!! The barbacoa quesadilla was the best I've ever had and all the different salsa's were so good! We ate at the shaded patio outside and it was perfect. Will definitely come back. read more

Steamer broken so they weren't able to make burritos. Too bad they didn't know how to make a steamer with a few hotel pans. Staff nice but inexperienced. Food was Luke warm and tasteless . Where is the owner ? Very disappointed . read more

Really great food, bursting with flavors with the salsa choices. Highly recommend vegetable quesadillas for vegetarian lovers too ! Small Nachos plate was enough to share for 2 people and some to share too. read more

Excellent tacos, amd quesadillas and the mango got sauce is too die for, absolutely amazing. If you are in Durango it is a must to go there. read more

This is an amazing Mexican restaurant in Durango! I'm Mexican and this restaurant caught me by surprise since it's hard finding authentic Mexican food but Nini's tacos were delicious and very flavorful. I recommend any taco on corn tortilla's, you know it's good when their corn tortillas are so good! read more

New owners changed the recipes- mushrooms are not Mexican veggies ... Asian owners making it Asian style? yuck on mushrooms!!!! - squash corn onion those are Mexican Veggies! Also The mango salsa has HUGE chunks of mango- they used to chop it up..,,If u purchase a business- keep the same recipes! read more

In cold weather, fish chowder is the best with side of chips and guacamole! Plenty of seating inside and out back. All the salsas to choose from! So reasonably priced too. read more

You can't go wrong with any food at this restaurant. We got some tacos and a quesadilla - all of them were delicious and enough to feed a very hungry person :) It took a bit of time to get our food done, but it is worth the wait and we'll definitely come back. read more

It's just an expensive Taco Bell. Not even close to authentic mexican food. They make nachos with tostitos :(

"funky, casual Mexican"...Love their slogan. My friends and I needed a quick taco fix before heading back to Albuquerque. We had walked by the previous day and I loved the friendly and colorful feel (and I had major food envy after eyeballing someone's quesadilla...). I enjoyed the concept of a build-your-own taco bar and I was very pleased with the price (three different tacos of my choice for about ten bucks). Now, being from Albuquerque, we know our tacos, different levels of heat, and FLAVOR! The salsa menu - YAY for variety. I was hoping for a little more heat with the salsas I chose under their "medium" list, though. They were more of a "mild" standard from what I'm used to in Abq, but the flavors were good. I really liked the "hot" Mango Habanero. My meat choices (chicken, carnitas, barbacoa) were delicious and juicy. All-in-all, a fun choice for our last meal in Durango! read more

Nini's Taqueria - Nini's tacos, two barbacoa, one carnitas, topped with lettuce, cheese, sour cream, and roasted Serrano salsa - Mexican Near Me - Durango, Colorado

Food was amazing!! We tried fish tacos, beef quesadillas and beef nachos, they were equally delicious my children rated 10/10! Definitely coming back for more!! Everyone was so friendly and the ambiance felt like familiar backyard. read more

Such good food!! I ordered the guacamole with a side of chips. Delicious. It wasn't the best guacamole I've ever had, but it was up there. Price was good! I ordered the carnitas quesadilla. It was the best quesadilla I've ever had! They have so many different types of salsa, I added the roasted Serrano salsa. It had a lot of flavor with just enough kick to make it the right amount of spicy so that you still enjoyed your food! Everyone was really friendly, food was prepared quickly and good amount of seating. read more

visiting from arkansas, tried nini's because of the "funky mexican food" sign , how can you go wrong with that? great atmosphere, good happy cooks and crew. I had some of the best tacos ever. highly recommended. PS awesome margaritas!!!! read more

Staff was very good. But food was just so, so. Got the chili bomb nachos, and they were put together per order, they were good. Husband got a barbacoa burrito, which was huge, and he said tasted good, but after alittle less than half of food, we were both bloated and miserable. Outdoor area was nice, and pet friendly. read more

We love Nini's. We don't usually stray from our favorites - barbacoa quesadilla, fish soup, and tacos (chicken and porks, usually). The chips are ok but salsa is good - lots of variety. Their tortillas are spot on, too! read more

Always good food and good people. Drop in every time I'm in Durango. The Cookies are great too.

Nice staff. Food filling (e.g. burrito) was fine, but the tortillas are generic and not fresh, so it tastes really inauthentic. Sort of like having burritos at your white uncle's house. Homemade tortillas, or even store-bought but fresh, would go a long way. Sat outside, which was lovely. read more

My favorite place to eat in Durango. When I was in high school this was a weekly stop and now that I've moved away I make sure to go to Nini's every time I visit. read more

I got 3 tacos, phone order for pickup - first it was nice they were willing to customize each one. For instance, I got one each of chicken, carnitas, and barbacoa. Then they were willing to put a different salsa on each one (I didn't have them do that though because I'm not a primadonna). Most times I order tacos I get them and they end up being kind of tiny. These were not tiny, they were big and filled up! Taste was good, not amazing. Above average! read more

Love the southwestern fish chowder and the fish tacos. Nini's is one of our favorite places in Durango.

I love this place, the quesadillas are to die for! So yummy and awesome staff. strongly recommend

Ordered the bomb chili nachos. They were the bomb. Friendly staff. Beer options. What's not to like. I will be back.
