A truly wonderful small fast food joint only about half a mile from the Sabino Canyon recreation area in Tucson, AZ. A great stop post hike! The food is tasty and of ample proportion. The service is exemplary. Unpretentious but very neat and clean. Note: a single taco plate comes with two tacos and enough meat to make two rolls.

This is definitely one of the better Nico locations. The one located on Ina Rd is the best. Every time I order on the phone it feels rushed and like they aren’t listening to what I am saying. Never ask for a name, very unprofessional. The way they answer the phone is off putting and feels like I am bothering them. They say only “Nicos Burritos” then go “Ok” when you are done ordering and then hang up the call. No total provided or anything.

Frequently pick up orders To Go and have always been pleased! Really Good food, quick prep, courteous service! UNFORTUNATELY that wasn’t the case this evening. Service was good and food was prepped quickly, but when I got home, the green chili burrito had SO MANY CHUNKS of FAT!!!! Disgusting!!!! Took a pic and can provide if management is interested!?! WHAT happened??? HUGE CHUNKS OF WHITE PORK FAT! YUCK!!!!!!! Trim the shoulder, PLEASE!!!!
Tried to call the number on the receipt but the recording said the VM Box had NOT been set up!!! So I’m posting this review.

Customer service is the worst. I don’t know if they realize customers pay their paychecks. Maybe it’s a language barrier…..so go learn english…..or it could be their horrible attitude and lack of patience…..all I know is after being their just once, it’s not a repeat…..Taco bell is better because of customer service….. horrible customer service can sour everything…..

I’ve eaten here numerous times prior, all without incident, unfortunately that positive streak has quickly ended.
Immediately upon entry while attempting to read the menu board the older “gentleman” at the register was noticably annoyed that l didn’t have the menu committed to memory.
While attempting to read the menu board the entire staff is loudly speaking in Spanish directly behind the register, this interaction makes communication with the cashier difficult. Additionally one female employee is clearly visible, she’s eating a plate of food from the kitchen food prep area just inside the kitchen. No one is wearing food safety gloves.
I ordered the #3 plate, consisting of x2 shredded beef tacos, rice and beans. Additionally l clearly ordered a medium soft drink.
Upon review of the order the older guy leaves off my drink. When I correct him over it he becomes further annoyed with my presence on planet Earth. I found it extremely rude to continue having a conversation with other staff members in Spanish while attempting to take my order and then having an attitude when my order wasn’t taken correctly due entirely to his inability to multitask.
I paid with my debit card and had to ask for the receipt. The guy then without speaking simply points to the stack of cups indicating that self serve is truly self serve at this establishment. I fill my soda and the food is instantly presented. The tacos are deep fried and the lag time from ordering to presentation is incredibly short, as a result they are heavily oil soaked. They were clearly never allowed to drain.
All tables while bused were visibly dirty. Indicating that they were never wiped down.
I found my food good but beyond EXCESSIVELY grease soaked. I’m sensitive to grease and would later have stomach issues all day, left feeling uncomfortable and l attribute this to the excessive grease remaining within the tacos upon presentation.
Upon sitting at a table, l wiped down my own table removing dried lettuce from it. All of tables were clearly unclean. I tipped my tacos in the plate to facilitate frying oil drainage but it helped little. I found the rice good and the beans exceptionally delicious.
I found $18.44 out the door excessively high for what l received. I get cost have risen but there are serious GREED-FLATION factors obviously at play here. The food simply isn’t remotely worth what is charged.
In closing, l found this establishment overpriced and under performing. I found the staff dismissive and condescending. Clearly they have zero pride in themselves and their food, and zero shame in what they pawn off as acceptable. They operate as if little to no effort is above and beyond. I wasn’t expecting perfection but for $18.44 I did expect their best effort at which they clearly failed.
This is not an establishment that I’ll be returning to. It’s not a warm inviting atmosphere where I felt welcomed and I truly never felt valued as a guest.
This is not an establishment that I can ever recommend visiting.

Thanks for burning the chorizo and still serving it up! I usually enjoy the food here. This sucked. Like eating carpet.

This place could be absolutely amazing. The lady the front was super nice the food here is spectacular. The water from The soda machine fountain is probably going to kill someone. If you know anything about pools or chlorinated pools If you just smell the water I don’t even have to drink it it smells just like pool water like chlorinated pool water. They should absolutely shut this place down for it even being able to serve tha. Other than that it’s an amazing place

Great food that we called ahead for pickup. Huge lunch time line though, an indicator of how good it is.

Food was sooo good. Had Chicken Chimichanga (shown in photo) and Chicken Taco. The flavor of both was outstanding. The chimi was lightly fried and not crispy like I’ve had elsewhere but the flavor was so good I did not mind. Refried beans were delicious. I wish I knew how they cook the chicken for the tacos – each bite of chicken was a flavor bomb.
The style of Mexican was a bit different than I’m used to – that being Sonoran Mexican, with sour cream or cream cheese sauces. The one sauce they have here is red. But again I did not mind because it had such good flavor.
There are two tables outside and we enjoyed our dinner while enjoying the gorgeous scenery of the mountains, easily visible from our table.
I looked at a lot of reviews for ‘fancy’ restaurants before we decided upon going casual and coming here. Glad we did.
