About Nico's Taco Shop

Nico's Taco Shop is a Mexican restaurant on N Campbell Ave in Tucson, serving burritos and other counter-style Mexican fare with no formal table service. The California burrito comes with French fries alongside the carne asada meat, and the menu also runs through fish tacos, rolled tacos, and breakfast burritos among its fifteen dishes. Ala-carte orders can come with rice and beans included. Ordering is walk-in, and the shop opens daily with a late-night option on the menu for those eating outside typical hours. A drive-thru gives an alternative to going inside, and the shop is one of several Nico's locations around Tucson.

Customer Review Summary

Burritos draw the most attention, with reviewers repeatedly praising large portions, including a sausage breakfast burrito called large and delicious, a carne asada burrito described as good sized, and a chimichanga so massive one diner called it a great dinner, with rice and beans thrown in free. Fast, friendly drive-thru service and late-night hours (one reviewer ordered at 2 or 3 in the morning) come up close behind. But a real split emerges: several recent reviewers report declining quality, including a fish burrito with barely any fish, a California burrito with boiled meat and boiled potatoes instead of fries, cold meat on a fries order, and a machaca order that arrived with unwanted eggs mixed in despite no request. One reviewer also describes slow, sloppy service and difficulty getting a refund.

    “I used the drive-thru. The sausage breakfast burrito was large, delicious, and balanced flavor with every bite. The service was fast and friendly.”

    “Horrible !! Husband went thru drive thru about 45 minutes ago and ordered a very simple menu! Machacha, refried beans and a few tortillas. Simple ! Ha!! No mention of eggs, did not want eggs with the machacha! Guess what !!! They put eggs …”

    “I use to give it 5 stars 🌟, but this last time we went thru the drive thru and ordered a fish burrito 🌯 . She charged me $18.50 ,when I got home 🏡 I bit into the burrito 🌯 and there was hardly and fish mainly lettuce,tomatoes, and sauce. I was very disappointed 😞. I'll have to find another place to buy my fish burrito 🌯.”
  • Patrick Petteway
    “Went there 2 am and got me a carne asada burrito. The burrito was a good size and I enjoyed it. That meat could use some more flavor. I’d buy again.”
  • Anna K
    “BOYCOTT NICOS ENTIRELY TUCSON 🌵 Awful. Slow sloppy service. Over priced and lazy people here who are ruled by their emotions. They are also arrogant. I’d get a refund but they are so incompetent and slow they wouldn’t be able to do it.”
