Fantastic food, friendly staff, fun yet simple vibe. We get their breakfast burritos with sour cream all the time. I love their accompanying sauces too.

The food here is freshly made and delicious! The drive thru takes a minute but it's worth the wait!

Love their shredded beef tacos. Taco shells always cooked perfectly. Salsa at this location is my least favorite. Ina location is better for salsa, and I’ve decided to go other places sometimes on the salsa alone. Beans are decent, but would be better homemade. Service is always pleasant.

I've been eating here for many years and have never been remotely disappointed in the food. Hot, fresh and delicious food is the norm here along with OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE. The friendly caring staff is the real treat. Good people making great food. I'm especially fond of the carne asada taco plate with rice and beans. ???????????????????????? This Nico's proudly offers a military discount which is always appreciated. ???????? ???????? ???????? ************************************* You can reasonably expect to be AGGRESSIVELY PANHANDLED here as the general geographical surrounding area is in severe decline. I couldn't even get out of the car before l had one surrounding my car door. I felt as if l was being stalked. I found the intensity of the entire (in your face) parking lot encounter rather concerning and extremely alarming. I never felt unsafe, but the encounter was EXCESSIVELY aggressive and highly confrontational.

I like this place. Had lunch and ordered Carne Asada and Rolled Tacos. Nico’s had a diner vibe. It was a bit expensive but the portion was big. Paid $28 for the 2 dishes.

i been coming here for 8 years and this is the ONE. i’ve driven across town and even moved away and came back and had to stop here. food is ridiculous, seating is plenty, always find parking, facility is clean, super fresh ingredients, and you can always find a family member behind the counter. i always get the breakfast burrito and it slaps every time. the potatoes they put in there are always perfect. the tacos are crazy as well and they have bomb desserts. not to mention they’re always so fast. i’m in and out in 20 minutes and their drive thru is always quick as well. can’t say enough. will forever be a Tucson staple for me.
