Nico’s Taco Shop

They need to change their hours of business it says 7 but that’s false. If you say we open at 7 open the doors at 7. It’s burrito science not rocket science

Delicious Sonoran Mexican food. As authentic as you’re going to find, at great prices. I recommend either the shredded taco plate, the number one breakfast burrito, or if you like spicy — the red chili burrito or the carne asada burrito. Nico’s is my go-​to for delicious Mexican food!

Disgusting. Filthy restaurant, breakfast burritos were not fit to eat but unfortunately I didn’t find that out until I got them home. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!

There are plenty of Mexican eateries out there, but this is my favorite.
Okay, maybe not my 1 and only, but I would eat here 1 meal a day if I could (but I can’t, because what I order and add to my food is horribly unhealthy…)
Last year, I would grab 1 of their MASSIVE breakfast burritos every couple of months on my way to work, and those days were definitely my most memorable days working at that office job.
For starters, I remember the amazing flavors that these days brought me. Egg, steak, chorizo, cheese, bacon, potato, salsa, bea… wait… let me stop right there. Salsa. Yes, the ultimate burrito, taco and pretty much anything else condiment.
I LOVE salsa. I love Taco Bell sauce packets, I love Tapatío and I love Nico’s green & red salsa cups. Do I love them too much? Yes. Yes I do, because what I remember most about these days at work when I would pick up a massive breakfast burrito was the burning lunch hour…
It’s not Nico’s fault, trust me. Their food is amazing, and their salsa, well… I am proud to say it’s still my favorite. However, please, when you decide to add 12+ cups of their delectable devil spit to your meal, think twice. think 2 times. 2 times… number 2… the «flavor» is alot less enjoyable coming out than when it went it.
With all that said, my only regret is that I moved from Tucson. Otherwise you know where I would be! (at Nico’s, not the bathroom you freak.)

I absolutely love Nicos! I usually get the vegetarian burrito or a breakfast burrito. It’s the best thing in the world to have a Nicos burrito after a long hike or after working hard around the house/​yard.

No-​frills taco shop, short on ambiance but long on tasty food. The prices are low and everything is good, but the chips are SUPER greasy. Would probably be good hangover food!
My sis and I had a California burrito, a veggie burrito, a side of chips and guac and a baggie of pickled veggies. Total was around $ 20.
I would probably come here again.

I ordered steak egg and cheese burrito and asked for sliced jalapenos inside. Be careful what you ask for. It was overloaded with jalapenos. There were more jalapenos inside than steak or eggs. It was gross. I then started eating my rolled taco. Another failure. It was so dry with no flavor. Ive eaten at many nicos and like it a lot. But I will not be returning to this location. Total disappointment.

I’ve been here many times, I usually get the Carne Asada burrito. The burritos are huge. Delicious Mexican fast food.

One word: UNDERWHELMING. It was simply sustenance.

never go wrong with Nico’s. good food with decent prices. Easy spot to get dinner at the last minute.

Best breakfast burritos I can find. Easy. fast. convenient. Fun.
I like the bacon cheese patato breakfast burritos!
Who doesn’t crave Nico’s on the weekend mornings?

I couldn’t finish my enchiladas because they were absolutely drenched in enchilada sauce and cheese. The texture and taste of it was ruined by all the goop. Also could have done without the giant heap of lettuce on top – I had trouble finding my food underneath!

No Surprises here. Exactly what you would expect from this chain. Great place to get a breakfast burrito any time during the day if your in one of the hotels around here.

Had green chile burrito… in my lap. I guess my fault, but a chili burrito should come better wrapped. If hadn’t tasted so good, I would have been mad, but it was great chili verde.

Usually like Nico’s but this was my first time at this location. Staff not overly friendly ! Got a burrito and it was so salty we could hardly eat it. I’m sure I’ll try it again.

Our staff loves Nico’s. We treat ourselves at least twice a month to an affordable lunch that tastes great. Go Nico’s!

This is probably the cleanest nicos ive visited. The food was dependable, as i’ve come to expect from nicos. If they can just improve the quality control so that i get the same tasty food every time, I may never need to eat anywhere else.

This location tends to burn/​over fry their taco shells. Stick with the burritos and tacos. The enchiladas are not very good. Cheap, quick and better than going to Taco Bell. Inside always smells of disinfectant. So, yay it is clean. But, I could not eat inside due to the overwhelming odor (this is something I have noticed at multiple locations). Their shredded beef is always well seasoned and the service is good. Breakfast burritos are great, much better than Los Betos.

Potholes and Niccos, two things I am assured with every trip to tuscon.
Niccos has long been a symbol of Tuscon their attempt in Tempe was short lived.
Cleaner and brighter than your average Mexican fast food place. The menu contains all of the usual items burritos tacos chips etc.
this trip I tried the vegetarian burrito, which had just about every non meat item in it, rice, beans guacamole, lettuce, sour cream. ~4.50 ish It was pretty good.
We also got a side of chips with cheese a great deal and very tasty.
Hot sauce is available, and it is free for the taking but the thimbles of it is quite small so take many, I like the red but the green is good too.

Burros and prices that just can’t be beat anywhere that are served at unequalled speed! Fast food that doesn’t taste fast. Tasty. Some dishes, like cheese enchiladas, could be improved but overall this is a great place. Open early at 7am and late. 10 pm. One down side: the Cortaro store often uses a horrible bleach cleaner on the floors during serving hours. The smell gets so bad, we leave. The food tastes terrible with that smell in the air. No bueno! Get it go!
