I have been coming here for a few years now and as an az native this place absolutely demolishes every other taco spot, literally some of the best food I've ever had. The carne asada tacos, the quesabirria and the bottled coke is my go to every time and they've never once disappointed me. Quality is so consistent, flavor immaculate, don Nico I love you. read more

You might drive right past this place and not think twice about it. Classic strip mall, nothing flashy, easy to miss since it's in the cut. But if you do t try it once you're making a big mistake. These dogos are serious. We are talking Costco sized hot dogs wrapped in bacon, loaded up with everything. I got the Sonora, mayo, mustard, ketchup, white cheese, nacho cheese, beans, onion, tomato, avocado, jalapeño sauce. Every single bite was perfect. The bread was soft and seared just right on the outside. This is really the spot up in the cut. My only thing is I wish they had an all beef option. The beef and pork blend is good, don't get me wrong, but give me all beef and I might never leave. Just saying. My friend got the tacos and she was done for. Said they were great. They have a nice little salsa bar with a great selection where you serve yourself, which I appreciated. Service was fine but the food where it's at! First beer wasn't cold enough, second one was perfect. Honestly I almost don't want to tell anybody about this place. But here we are. Go find it before it gets too popular. read more

My daughter absolutely LOVES this place and I wanted to spend time with my daughter so off to Tacos & Dogos we went! It was a Friday evening about 6:30pm. The restaurant is small but has a huge patio with misters, which is nice but still not nice enough when it's 108 degrees so we opted to sit inside. The restaurant was clean and has lots of TVs so probably a great place to catch a game. Everyone we encountered was super nice. They even ran over to wipe down our table because a gentleman had just gotten up. My daughters go to order is the carne asada tacos. I ordered one taco Al pastor and an Asadog. They have a full taco fixings bar so the tacos come out just meat and tortilla. You dress how you like from the bar. We loaded our tacos up. I used both the verde and regular red sauce. Both were delicious but my taco really didn't need a lot of extra flavor. Their pastor is really good! I'm kind of a pastor snob which is why I order it places. If your pastor isnt good it's a no for me but they passed the test! The hot dog came loaded like a carne asada burrito with meat, guac, beans and pico. It was really tasty! I'm sure I'll be back, as I mentioned my daughter loves to come here and I sure won't mind. Oh! Also order their horchata!! read more

I have been on the hunt for a good authentic Sonoran Hot Dog. I'm glad I finally found one in my area. The bread, the toppings everything hit the mark for Sonoran dogs! read more

Love this taco and Mecican hot dog place!! They're so cute and there are plenty of parking spots. People here are so friendly as well :) We got to try Birria taco, grilled veggies- spring onions and serrano, and one of their hot dogs. Taco was so flavorful, though you'll need to order birria soup separate if you want! And I'm a huge fan of grilled veggies, their grilled spring onions and serrano were soooo good! It goes well with taco and hot dog. And the hot dog!! Omg the sauce on top was the bomb, im drooling while writing this haha. Can't wait to go back and try their other food! read more

Stopped in with some friends for a late night taco run. This place is located in a strip mall but the sign is easily seen from the road. We arrived 30min before they closed and they were decently busy. They didn't try and rush anyone out, they genuinely seemed like they were happy to feed everyone. I loved it! The store is small but has a rather large patio for outside seating. Not too loud inside and was perfect for friends to catch up and eat a plethora of taco! I got a Cabeza Taco, Asada Taco and a bean and cheese burrito. Everything tasted amazing, and they didn't skip out on the meat...the tacos were packed! The bean and cheese burrito was super good...a little pricey for just a bean burrito but I'd order it (everything) again. I didn't try the senora dogs but heard they were good as well from my friends. We loved this place and will be back! read more

Great hole in the wall taco place, they also have quesadillas, burritos, etc but of course we had the tacos. The birria was the best one, the shrimp were also pretty good but I didn't love the al pastor (dry). Strangely, they do not offer chicken. Prices were quite reasonable. read more

I got a carne asada burrito & it was bomb! Service was good & the lady at the front was super friendly. I was looking for champurrado but they didn't have any :( read more

Amazing tacos! I ordered the daily special 3 tacos, rice, beans, and a drink for $14. I had the carne asada, al pastor, and birria tacos. They were all delicious and some of the best overall tacos I have had in the Valley. The carne asada was definitely one of the best carne asada tacos I have had in a long time. The meat had a nice char but it was still moist and tender with no gristle. Give it a try if you love tacos read more

My friend had been here before and was craving it! Specifically she wanted the birria tacos that you dip. I also got a camaron taco and the asada fries. It was all delicious! I would totally come back! read more

Really really good. Counter service and then they bring you your food. Just had the steak tacos and birria tacos and both were really good. Full of meat and flavor. Definitely want to try the dogs next time read more

Don Nico has been my go to spot for tacos for the past few years. They initially started out as a food truck, before becoming brick & mortar, and are currently working on opening a new location. All their meats are incredibly flavorful & tacos are loaded with a lot of it too. Here you can find a variety of Sonoran style hotdogs, various meats for tacos, quesadillas, lorenzas and more. I have yet to try their seafood, so I can't say much about that. Head to the salsa bar for a selection of a salsas & various condiments. The red molcajete style salsa is amazing!! Service is great and workers are always so pleasant & cheerful. Hands down the BEST taco at this small hole in the wall that will be sure to leave you wanting more. read more

Food was great, but the music was way too loud and piercing. My ears are still ringing just from waiting for my order. The music was even louder on the patio. And this was on a Sunday afternoon. I guess they don't want their guests having a conversation with each other. read more

I just moved out here to Phoenix from Los Angeles and have been desperately looking for a legit taco spot and finally I found one! Wow. All I tried were the Carne Asada, Al Pastor with flour tortilla along with the Birria tacos dorrados.. Best I have ever had. All the tacos were super flavorfull, juicy, and this review is coming from a Los Angeles taco expert. Definitely the Sonoran style is the best. read more

The flavor of their Al Pastor and also their Barria is some of the best I've had! A good size, serving of meat in every taco. Friendly bi-lingual staff. Highly recommended ! read more

I have been searching high and low for a good carne asada burrito. This is peak burrito-dom.

10/10 recommend!! From the ceviche, tacos, hotdogs, and carne asada fries, it's all sooo good!

10/10 ! I highly recommend it. It's my go to taco place! I always enjoy the food. The service is also always amazing and super friendly

I love this place! Such great quality for crazy good prices. You can really feel the owners are confident and proud of their food. Every time I've been here I've gotten a Sonoran hotdog and the Lorenza. The meat on the Lorenza is always so good, its tender and you can taste the grill on it. It doesn't have that chewy and mealy texture that a lot of places have. It just falls apart in your mouth. The hotdogs are always so good too, nice variety of toppings that come together for great flavor. The lady at the counter was even nice enough to give my friend and I bottle water for free. There's also the food truck they have on broadway, its nice to sit out there and eat when it isn't too hot! read more

The dogs were good and the rolled tacos also. Small little place but I'd go back again!

The tacos were so good. Loved the carne asada and the pastor ones. The michelada was also nice and refreshing, I liked the chamoy and tajin on the rim. Our food came out fast and there were lots of tables inside. The staff were very nice too. Everything on the menu u was reasonably priced. Unfortunately I wasn't able to try the hot dog but that is their specialty so I will definitely try it next time. read more

The food overall was great. The portions were overall very reasonable for what you pay(the meat portions were great too). For instance, when I went with a few others, there was a meal special of 3 tacos w/ a side of beans & rice(and a can of soda) for 12.50 + tax(around 12.99 after tax). The service was great as well, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and hot when we got it, which was great. The quesadilla with guacamole and Pico de Gallo meshed well together, and each bite was great. The ambiance of the place was very nice, and it wasn't very busy when I went. The staff were overall attentive and happy to help. I'll definitely come back! read more

I ate here a while ago and I think I had tacos and liked them. I remember the service being very friendly and they were again this time but the food was kind of gross. The salsa both kids I tried were way too salty almost like Tabasco but not spicy. The quesadilla had beans guac inside but it just didn't do much for me. Fairly average my guess is that I should have gone with a dog instead read more

Literally love this place, the customer service the environment and diversity. Outside gives small but it packs a punch with a huge outside patio as well as plenty of seating inside. You're also able to add your own toppings to your tacos. I literally love it here. I come here after doing a little shopping in the area and can eat and chill. For the food 20/10 super authentic. I almost ate all the asada off my taco before even dressing it because the steak was sooooo flavorful! I always look forward to coming here for lunch! Keep up the great work read more

Most amazing tacos ever !! People there are so sweet and attentive, the space itself is also amazing!

Birria kingdom found! This hole in the wall found in a non-descriptive strip mall turned out to be solid gold when it comes to birria!! I knew at first sight it was a good place when I arrived about 40 minutes before closing on a random Tuesday night (9:50'ish) in an attempt to satisfy my hankering for tacos and found the place bustling with patrons. Cashier was very friendly and helpful when I was trying to pare down what to order. She recommended the quesabirria in addition to the carne and birria tacos I had already ordered. Everything was delicious but the quesabirria will have me going back again and again! And, again and again! Generous portions and they don't skimp on the meat portions. While the salsa and condiments bar was understandably low shortly before closing there was just enough to add some additional flare to the smorgasbord ordered. The salsas paired well with everything! I will definitely be back and wouldn't hesitate to drive out of my way to go here. read more

Great Sonoran dog and their al pastor burrito is soo good too. Can't go wrong, everything we have tried here has been so good

After a long day of community organizing, I was looking for a spot to chill and eat bomb tacos near my house. I found it. This little spot is new to my area and I am glad that I found it! The Birria taco Dorado was FANTASTIC! Crunchy y mojado con salsa. The carne Asada meat was smoky and in good sized chunks. The tortilla was not over cooked. The filidogo was perfect! The bun was grilled and buttery, covered in beans and sauces and the dog was wrapped in crunchy bacon. The young ladies at the register were fun, helpful and shared their opinions regarding their favorites. I think I found my local spot for hunger pang tacos! read more

The place is hands down the most authentic in flavor when it comes to carne asada. We became huge fans of the food truck from Broadway. The staff was kind enough let us know to find us at their restaurant on Country Club and I am so happy. The food is delicious and always consistent in quality. Our favorites are Carneasada on flour, Tacos Dorado de Birria and the Hawaiiano Dog! The cherry on top is the incredible salsas, very tasty and flavorful read more

Taco enthusiasts, your search ends here. Tacos y dogos is my go to and everyone that I've recommended it to understands. I have been coming to Tacos y dogos Don Nico since their taco stand days in the parking lot of a tire shop on Broadway ~5 years ago. (Which is still open, btw, cash only) I was so genuinely proud of the owner when he opened the restaurant ~year ago. Everything is PERFECT *chef's kiss* my personal favorite is the al pastor tacos, which alas, I did not get a picture of. The hawaiiano- a grilled hot dog with melty cheese, pineapple, ham, and Mayo, served on a buttery, toasted bun is the epitome of happiness. Skip overhyped taco spots (*cough* Backyard taco) and hit Tacos y Dogos Don Nico!!! read more

Hands down great service! Fresh meat aaaand they hooked up my tacos keto style! (Cheese shell) the owner even came out and said that he had never made but wondered how they were. They were so good that I asked for one more We got hella food! Two asadoro hot dogs, a carne asada quesadilla, two tacos de birria, carne asada nacho fries, 3 keto tacos and two aguas. Total came out to $55, which isn't too bad. Although I'm 40 minutes away I just may take the drive out here. The service was awesome as well. The two young ladies at the register were really sweet and worked very well together. I feel like energy goes into food and when people are nice it makes your food taste better!! if you are in the area this place is a definite must for some fresh carne asada, pastor and birria. read more

Did not love it. Is not super expensive but the chili hot dog tasted sweet. The topping bar is very limited and did not carry any decent salsa for a Sonoran hot dog. read more

We came in yesterday 6/17 for as quick bite and we where not disappointed one bit, the Al Pastor tacos are very very good and the carne Asada tacos are great as well meat is very juicy not dried out at all great little salsa bar but the best was for last the Sonoran hot dog is outstanding We have found our go to taco joint finally!! Thank you!! read more

Friendly staff, Tasty food, the chefs are Professional Ninjas. I just ate and want to order again!!! I'll be back tomorrow read more

Amazing comfort food. This little restaurant is located in a strip mall nestled in between some other stores, it is easy to miss but they have a large banner outside. The food was so delicious and left me wanting mire. I'm a vegetarian so I wanted something without meat or hotdogs. They ended up custom-making my sandwich and switched out the hotdog with beans instead. Pineapple, mayo, mozzarella come standard. It was the Hawaiian sandwich, on top I added items from the free toppings bar: hot chilies jalapeño peppers, sautéed onions and guacamole. One of the most delicious sandwiches I've tasted. read more

I love this place, they have kind staff and good food. Their tortillas, meat, and salsa are some of the best tasting in Az.

I was car shopping and the salesman recommended this place. They make a decent Sonoran Dog and pretty good Carne Asada tacos. Service was quick and friendly. I took my order to go. read more
