Always a tasty and friendly lunch. Carnitas tacos with spicy slaw are my favorite. The veggie tacos are also good. Great salsa selection. One star off because the line is sometimes longer than I'm willing to wait. read more

Amazing food and exceptional service! We ordered a variety of tacos and tried several salsas. He even made me a quesadilla using two meats! The margaritas hit the spot! The portion size is above average too & I highly recommend the mango habanero Sakai with the fish tacos. read more

This place was average in my opinion - definitely a lot of food for the price, which is a plus, and they have a ton of different salsa options which is kind of fun. The nachos easily would serve 3 people and they looked very hearty. My chicken tacos were a bit too spicy for my liking (even with the "mild" salsa) but everyone else seemed pleased with their food. Be advised, I am a chicken when it comes to heat, so that is definitely swaying my opinion. There was no seating on the back patio, so we sat in the front area which was tight but we did carve out some space for our group of 7. It definitely has a fun vibe, with quirky local art on the wall and friendly staff. I would try this place again, and maybe attempt to find something with less spice. Other than than the heat, this place is worth another shot. read more

Fast, Delicious, Lots of options. Nice staff, able to answer questions about ingredients, although we had prior knowledge of what to order. Soy-free/Vegan - order naked with beans, rice & salsa. Unfortunately the wraps were not safe (soy) for some in our party, and no Daiya available. However, for a fast meal it was delicious. There are so many salsa options to try. It is clean, and you can watch them make your food. I would visit again & highly recommend. read more

5 stars without a doubt! Friendliest service in town. Made a custom quesadilla that was to die for. Beef with cheese, beans, rice and pico inside. Then with a side of mango habanero and roasted tomato salsa. Wish it was a menu item!!! read more

This is a great place to get either take out or just sit around and enjoy, The service is very fast, the portions are big, and prepared before your eyes. read more

Nini's Taqueria - Mexican Near Me - Durango, Colorado

Super fresh, tasty burritos and delicious side dishes. The slaw was loaded with cilantro and my $4.50 margarita was surprisingly awesome. There's a patio out back, very quiet and a little hidden. read more

Nini's Taqueria - Patio! - Mexican Near Me - Durango, Colorado

Beautiful patio in the back! Outdoor seating in the front as well. Burritos quesadillas and nachos with 12 different salsas offered. Friendly staff they were clearly working hard through the lunch rush. Would recommend for a good faster food experience with nice ambience especially outback. read more

Food was excellent. We each had a quesadilla, one chicken and one pork. Our side was nachos, which were good but overpriced for melted cheese on chips. Next time will order the chips and salsa sampler. Highly suggest if craving fresh Mexican food. read more

This place is awesome. Cheery staff, good food, amazing portions. Only downside is that it maybe a little bit pricey, but I can never finish my meal Bc there is so much food, so you are buying dinner or a snack at the same time. One of my favorite spots. read more

What a wonderful casual Mexican restaurant in the city. Food is delicious the margaritas are out of this world and the owner and the staff are incredibly nice. Andy Shaw you really have a wonderful place also thank you so much for the special dinner recommendation of the boat house out on Electra lake. It was fantastic as you said it would be. read more

Great taqueria - with lots of salsa options, and large portions of their flavorful entrees. My husband and I stopped in for dinner - and I had just a chicken quesidilla - which was plenty large enough for a dinner entree! With a side of just their regular "pico" salsa - which was very fresh! - and a drink - I was stuffed, and happy. My husband decided to mix-and-match an order of three tacos with three different meat/salsa combinations. Three soft tacos was enough to fill him up for dinner (impressive!) - and the staff was very friendly and helpful in suggesting meat/salsa combinations to try. (He particularly liked the fish taco with the mango habanero salso - but warns, it's hot!) A great find - for a great casual meal at a great price. read more

Truthfully, when a place smells as good as Nini's, they don't need my Yelp review to help them. Honest to God, the smell literally drew us off the sidewalk and into the store. And as usual, following one's nose did not lead us wrong -- our burritos were delicious. But you know what's so great about Nini's? What places it, in my mind, above Chipotle? The choices. There are five burrito filling options (sauteed veggie through barbacoa), nine salsas, two rices, two beans, and two tortilla sizes (10-inch means no more painful burrito-baby belly!). They have great sodas (Durango soda company!) and hot sauces on hand (sadly, I'm still looking for the one from Arizona). read more

Authentic food, super well prepared. Very kid friendly, with lots of room. Cool ambiance - fantastic for lunch.

Tacos were great. Staff was cool, even when we walked in 20mins before closing. More food than we could eat, but I tried to finish it anyhow. Will come back for sure. read more

I guess I was hoping for too much after reading reviews, but it was a huge disappointment. I guess coming from the Denver Metro area, I expected more "authentic" food. I ordered online which was nice and easy and we were able to pick it up pretty quickly. Right off the bat checking the order in the car before we pulled off, I noticed they got my burrito order wrong, but I decided it wasn't worth the rest of my family eating cold food for them to remake mine. Well, it was pretty much downhill from there, quesadillas were soggy, grease bombs that were almost inedible. My daughter said the side of black beans had a weird aftertaste, the chips were a generic bulk tortilla chip that were stale and could barely be helped with guacamole. Lastly, my burrito was an overpriced version of a microwave burrito and their "hot" sauce might as well have been ketchup. The guacamole was the only thing that was decent, but at $3.50 for about a 1/4 of a cup, I would save your money all together and keep looking for better place to eat in town. read more

Excellent food.....Many, many options for burrito fillings, and if you're veggie or vegan, you can eat very well here. An extensive selection of (expensive) salsas to suit every taste and heat requirement. Odd to charge for salsa, but understandable, I suppose. Highly recommended. read more

Food was great and you were given large portions. The burritos were huge. My kids loved it, we had to eat there twice on our trip!

Excellent quality food and marguerita! Even ice is top quality. Would love to sample ALL the fresh salsas. Next time! Had fish quasadilla with tomatillo and cheese. Guacamole soooo good. Fresh! Don't miss out eating on the back patio! Will be back maybe tomorrow lunch. read more

This was bland, far-from-authentic Mexican food. I am pretty sure they use Mission tortillas out of a bag and don't bother to heat them up. I got the 3-taco order. The fish definitely tasted extremely fishy, probably frozen cod. I couldn't finish it. I also got the Barbacoa and the chicken. Zero flavor in either... They were pretty much indistinguishable from one another. I was excited to try the mango salsa, but it tasted like fruit out of a can. Another bust. The cheese dip is Velveeta style cheese, and the chips are some cheap, generic brand. The staff was extremely friendly and courteous, but the ordering process was weirdly slow. As each person orders their meal, the staff makes it in front of you. I suppose I am accustomed to placing everyone's order at the same time, taking a number, then waiting for it. Instead, we stood at the counter for a solid 10 minutes while it was all prepared. read more

I would say the "worlds best" margaritas is a bit of a stretch. The salsa was great and the outdoor seating was a nice atmosphere. I had the quesadilla with beef. I would go back the next time I'm in Durango. read more

Pros -Friendly staff -Reasonably sized portions -Tasty Margaritas -Decent carnitas Cons -Extremely pricey (especially for a food-counter establishment) -The corn tortillas were awful -The barbacoa was a bit bland read more

Sitting at Nini's taqueria in Durango with some delish veggie tacos (at last a vegetarian dish not full of mushrooms!) and a sublime gratitude margarita saying thanks to my angel hero Tom from Outlaw Tours who had a truck with a gas tank - real filling pump and everything who gave me a bit when I fortuitously (accidentally) ran out in their adventure parking lot 14 miles from Mancos and 13 miles from Durango!!! This idiot city girl was trying to get an uber to the rescue but strangely there were none available - imagine - a place where good people replace the need for on call strangers! Love this sweet Colorado corner... Ps The salsas are a great adventure on their own! read more

The decor is adorable, the staff awesome, meat is delicate and savory. The salsas, though... They are wonderful!! We live in Texas and go out of our way to stop by Nini's whenever we can. The variety of flavors-- sweet, hot, tangy... All delicious, all unusual, all addicting. Highly recommend! Be adventurous and try some new flavors-- you won't be sorry!!! read more

In Durango this seems like the locals place for a good burrito at an appropriate price!

Just had lunch here today and I was really impressed. I was tired after driving 5 hours and just wanted to eat something quickly. This place is situated right next to Starbucks (good call on location there) so I was able to hit both one after another. The decor (as someone else noted) is really cute. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the prices were actually really moderate in comparison to some places I have seen. The food was really great and well portioned. Would definitely go back. The guac and tomatillo salsa were excellent! read more

Great service. Great location. Fantastic food! So glad we went in and tried it! Add on a side of beans with your order, you won't be disappointed! read more

Best fish tacos with amazing hot sauce. Their margaritas are delicious and they don't skimp on ingredients. Give this place a shot.

Every time we come to Durango we eat at Nini's it's fast, reasonably priced, and tastes great. The outdoor patio in the back is a nice touch. The staff is always pleasant. read more

Awesome. Great fish tacos with mango salsa and habanero salsa. Had the mango margarita. It was outstanding.

I had high hopes for this place but the food was way too salty for my taste. I had the carnitas tacos and my boyfriend had the beef burrito. Both were so salty that I had to get sour cream to cut the taste. read more

I have been lucky enough to spend a portion of my summers near Durango for the past few years. This is the one "must go there" restaurant on my list every year, nay, every DAY that I'm in town! Tacos are fresh and tasty, I have tried several combinations of ingredients and haven't been disappointed yet. The staff has always been friendly and helpful when I have been there. I can't wait to get back to Nini's this Summer! read more

It's just ok. The burrito was like warm at best. Pricey for what you get. The service was less than friendly and we had to ask for a table to be cleared so we could sit down. read more

I go here every time I am in Durango. The nachos are loaded and delicious. If you have any room leftover try one of their delicious coconut chocolate cookie bars. Awesome place! read more

Cute little Mexican restaurant on the Main Street. They have so many options for salsa! I usually get a veggie burrito or nachos (to die for)! Best Mexican in Durango and not to pricey! Lovely service and nice little place inside! read more

I found that I enjoy Nini's just as much in the summer! I spent a great leisurely afternoon on their sunny back patio with some chicken and veggie tacos and a yummy local lager. Nothing beats small town living :) read more

I like this place and try to stop in when I am in Durango. Always fresh ingredients and if you are vegetarian, you can choose between black and pinto beans for your soft tacos. I prefer the chicken over the beef but that is me. Love their salsas, lots to choose from. My favorite is the chipotle. Ambiance is super casual, good for kids. read more

My husband and I had just arrived to Durango and were looking for a place to eat dinner, we walked around and decided to stop at Nini's! It was about 8pm and we were starving! My husband ordered a chicken quesadilla with guacamole and pico de Gallo and I ordered the nachos with black beans, sour cream, and their mango habanero salsa. The staff was very friendly and the gentleman told us about their patio out back and we decided to sit outside to enjoy the weather. He brought us our food and we were ready to dig in! My husband loved his quesadillas and he's a quesadilla connoisseur. My nachos were pretty good but I do wish they would have had more to them. They were kinda plain but that was my fault, I should have asked to have some onions, pico, to give them more flavor. The mango habanero salsa was not spicy like I figured it would be since it was under their hot selection. I definitely would have loved more of a kick but it was still good. We enjoyed our meal and the patio! As we were walking out we noticed they were cleaning and realized that they actually close at 8 pm but still served us! It was very gracious of them and we did feel really bad once we realized. If you're in Durango give them a try! read more

#2 burrito I've ever had (anna's in Boston still #1), many different salsas, carnitas was amazing.

OMG. LOVED this place. I've eaten at Chipotle (who hasn't) and have gotten a burrito and have been okay with it. I got a burrito at Nini's and was freaking content with it. Maybe it was the barbacoa that I got. Maybe it was the awesome selection of salsas (FYI the mango lime with the roasted serrano is BOMB!) to choose from. Maybe it was the best nachos I've ever had. Let's just say Nini's stole my heart while I was in Durango and one day I'll be back. read more
