Mi Nidito

Mi Nidito has been serving Tucson since 1952. It was then that a couple from Sonora made a decision that is still impacting the lives of their family three generations later. The decision was between opening a Mexican food restaurant or a tortilla factory...

Melinda Gerald

The chile rellno they make is the BEST! Always a waiting list, but it is worth your time!!! Good thing to know: Put in your name and order one of their MANY Margaritas ...(or 2) for the wait! Nummmmy!

Barry Bloom

Best Mexican food in the Southwest. My wife is Mexican and she says it’s incredibly authentic . We were there on Wednesday at 2:40 pm MT and there was a 20-minute wait. Tells you all you need to know.

The President’s Plate should come with a cigar and a handbag after my meal. Good Mexican at a good price.

Gary Voydanoff

Our waiter at the Marriott said this is the only place that makes better tamales than he does - and they were great! Cheese tostada with guacamole was a great starter.

EatMeDrinkMeNYC

The Birria dishes will rock your cabeça! Slow-cooked all day, this marinated seasoned beef will keep you coming back for more.

Jen Karr

Best chile rellno ever - hands down. The flat enchiladas are excellent too, but just know they are made w/masa so are thicker than "regular" enchiladas - but delicious!

Alicia Kissinger

The presidents plate is perfect so you don't have to chose you try everything. It is A LOT of food though.

sarah vergara

On a health kick? Try their "health" taco made with melted cheese , avocado , tomato , onion , sprouts.

denise bedoy

Love their tacos and Hot salsa . Lourdes (Lou Lou) is the BEST waitress ever.

John Munoz

The best carne seca EVER ! Not to be missed! Carne Seca chimichanga , enchilada style.

Tericka W

The chile rellino is awesome!! And be careful with the margaritas , they sneak up on you like a ninja, lol.

Maggie MacG

One of my favorites. Always great; generous portions .

Patrick Chamberlain

Order a half-and-half margarita if you can't decide which to get.

Jenifer Anseth

Chips and salsa were nothing special, but the chile relleno is fantastic. Anything with their shredded beef is also really good.

Elsa Valenzuela

Best waitress in town and at mi nidito "lulu" ask to get seated with her

I love this place. Everything is amazing

Reina Contreras

Try the President’s plate if it’s your first time in!

The presidential special was featured on man vs. food but I recommend the ground beef tacos !

wish i was able to eat my food hot (its my fault, not the restaurant ) but even cold, it was good

Demea Jamison

Best house made salsa and chips I've tastes so far!

Love the carne seca and chicken flautas ! Delicious

Stephanie Gaiter-Booher

Always come early and/or prepare to wait. But how ever long the wait... well worth it every time!!

Audrey Jensen

Great food! I love green chile !

Shane

Literally anything on the menu will be great, you can't go wrong here! But get a side of the jalepenos , so delicious!

Sherri Madrigal

Was expecting more considering the reviews I've read and heard but was not impressed..mild sauce tasted like canned tomato sauce and my taco had a burger patty in it?!?!? I will keep searching...

Brian Gordon

Please order the cheese crisp!

Cyn City

Best micheladas ever;)

John Gonzales

Solid Mexican food

Anna Durazo

Awesome food the best ever. Get the tortilla soup

FrecklesUSA

Just because Slick Willy ate here doesn't constitute it as top foods in Tucson.

Kevin Geiss

Green chile enchiladas are mind-blowing

Coolshades

Great birria and carne seca !

Walter Thurmond

Come early, there is always a line , opens at 11 am

Scott Hall

President's Plate

Jess Herrera

40 minute wait on a Wednesday...? Yeah, it's worth it.

Tiffany Garcia

Margaritas use to be the best so I didn't mind waiting one or two hours ... Not so much anymore Margaritas are just not good anymore !

Tang

Closed on Monday and Tuesday :(

Malcolm Woodyard

Food is okay. Service is crap. Came twice and wasn't impressed at all. Come once because of its history and that's enough.

Mason K

Best margaritas in Tucson.

Gorge Lopez

There’s always a wait and the food is overrated. Overpriced also.

Trudy Liu

My Little Nest...aww.... Let's see how the mexican food is here?!?!

Loved this place! Historic and very interesting... No tax in the gift shop (it's on an Ajo Indian Reservation)... the homemade flatbread vendor in the parking lot was well worth a stop! - Dan Mullen
