“ Food and service was excellent! The amount of flavor and effort on these dishes is fantastic. We had the enchiladas and my favorite the barrio tacos!! Highly recommend you give these a try! Mi Niidito never disappoints only delivers!! Love this place ”
“ While attending Tucson Navy Week, it was recommended that I visit Mi Nidito, and it did not disappoint. Typically reservations are not allowed, however, the restaurant went out of their way to make accommodations for my group at the request of an amazing colleague. The food was absolutely delicious! I enjoyed the chicken enchiladas with the green sauce. I would say that the only downside would be that I couldn't finish it all! Great service, great food, and an overall excellent experience here in Tucson! Highly recommend! ”
“ I love enchiladas. I live for it and it's my go to order and my benchmark as to whether the restaurant is good or not. I mean, the sauce, the tortilla - is it homemade, the chicken and cheese mix, is there salad? It's a delicate balance to get it all right and get it all delicious on a plate. Well I can tell you, I really really like the enchiladas here. It's almost perfect. If there was just more sauce it would be perfect. Parking is relatively easy but I was scared by the homeless man who approached me. I ended up giving him my leftovers, but scared nonetheless. ”
“ Rich in history going 72 years strong with the original family selling this cute place in February of 2024. The food was classic Mexican food with no frills here. You wont find many regional dishes here. Just the basics to keep it simple and good. Love the ambiance with lots of character and soul reflected through the years. The service was fast and efficient. Before a U of A game this is Wildcat country no doubt! I like it. But I didn't fall in love with the place. It's not you El Nidito it's me . But this is a place you owe yourself to visit just to know "Slick Willy" had a mucho hambre grande el presidente VIVA plató ! Si señor ! ”
“ This is a Tucson staple if this style of Mexican food is your jam. It is authentic for this area and their is a lot of history with this restaurant. The food was decent and the chips and salsa were good. Service was outstanding. If you are in the mood for Mexican while you are in Tucson this is a must stop. The nachos were drenched in sauce and not your traditional nachos, everything else was tasty. ”
“ Here in Tucson for a medical conference and this place was recommended by a friend as it was made famous by former President Bill Clinton's visit where one of their specialties bears his name on the menu. This place did no disappoint at all. Love the vibe of this place but the food was legit. Got the beef soup and it was homey and delicious. It tasted so good even in triple digit weather. Then I tried their birria tacos and was the bomb. For only about $14 you get 3 huge tacos that you can split up with someone coz it's really filling. Highly recommend this place. ”
“ My husband read about this place so we decided to drive down to Tucson to give it a try. The place was packed and we had a 30 minute wait. After we were seated our waitress was very prompt and professional. We split The President's Plate, which was huge!! It had a chicken enchilada, beef tamale, chile relleno, bean tostada and birria taco. It was delicious and very filling!! So glad we split. It wasn't quiet but it wasn't super loud either. ”
“ We came here on a Sunday at 2:30 hoping they'd be slow; that didn't happen. There was a very long wait and for good reason. The food here is amazing. I couldn't stop eating. I ate until I couldn't fit any more into my belly. The ambiance makes you feel like you're in Mexico. Server was very nice. If you want amazing Mexican food then look no further. ”
