Quick info
About Nicos Taco Shop
On W Ajo Hwy in Tucson, Nicos Taco Shop is a Mexican restaurant with a drive-thru, letting cars order without stepping inside. The menu runs 39 items, with a beef taco, a cheese enchilada, and a bean tostada among the offerings, alongside combo plates like two beef tacos and two cheese enchiladas. Orders are also taken on a walk-in basis, and the room itself is small. It opens daily. Parking sits off Ajo Highway for those who do go in, and lunchtime on weekends tends to bring a busier stretch tied to the RV and motorsport traffic passing through the area.

Customer Review Summary
Burritos draw the most mentions at Nicos Taco Shop, with reviewers praising the California and bean burritos, an al pastor wet burrito and a burrito platter that two people split. Close behind are the supreme quesadilla, which one reviewer calls one of the best from a drive thru, plus al pastor tacos, chorizo with excellent flavour, and French fries. Several describe massive portions and a spicy red salsa, and one calls the setting small and informal. Another notes it is one of very few quick spots in the area and gets busy at weekend lunch with the RV and motorsport crowd.

“Really expensive but at least you can taste the indifference. The salsa is watered down and the food is bland. I hate to be 100% negative but they’re way out here, the only place to eat and I quit eating there…”

“Chorizo had excellent flavour and the portions were massive!”

“ZERO stars if I could. The food here is always a disappointment. Then, to spend as much as $40 for two people and a few burnt churros! The food is sub par. Lived out here 6 years. The quality has gone down and the prices have gone up. Im …”

“Decent Mexican food at decent prices. Not fine dining, by any means, but one of very few quick food spots for a quick bite to eat in the area. It can get busy around lunchtime on the weekends with the RV and motorsport crowd.”

“Small and very informal setting, just the way we like it. My wife and I split the burrito platter, and it was plenty for the both of us. Quite tasty, I must say. The large, bottled coke for 2.00 was a good buy as well! Right off Ajo Highway, parking was sufficient. I'd have to say our lunch stop was excellent! 👍👍 …”
