What People Are Saying About Mi Nidito Cafe

The Scene – When Bill Clinton ate here in 1999, he was the first person in years who didn't have to wait for a table. Plenty of people have waited up to two hours to sit in this adobe with its dark tables, brick and tiled archways and colorful decorations. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more authentic Sonoran restaurant. – – The Food – The Burro Deluxe, a large flour tortilla wrapped around beans, green chili, avocado, cheese and tomato is just one of the reasons people are willing to wait. The chili rellenos are fresh, light and puffy, with just a little spicy bite…

Continues to be good food!
by gastel2
This continues to be one of my favorite restaurants in the Tucson area. The food is consistently good and the staff are efficient and friendly. My only regret is always the wait, but I do love how they are open late, so it's always worth it!
- Pros: tried and true authentic Mexican food!
- Cons: The wait

So This Is What Great Mexican Food Is Like
by huskyduck
I live in Seattle where it is commonly said there is "no good Mexican food". I happened to be in Tuscon recently and decided to have a late dinner at Mi Nidito. I was absolutely blown away. From the chips and salsa which were obviously made fresh in house to the chili rellenos, enchiladas, tacos and tostadas-I was given a lesson in what authentic Mexican food is supposed to be like. The Mexican food I have been eating for years does not even resemble the food I was served at Mi Nidito. I'm looking for a reason to go back to Tuscon just so I can eat at Mi Nidito again. One of the best meals of my life. The only downside to this meal was that it ruined eating Mexican food in my hometown forever.
- Pros: Best Mexican Food

Take your out of town visitors

First off Horchard who gave the place one star is an IDIOT! Velveta at a restaurant?! No wonder they looked at you like you were practically stupid. Chile con queso is not authentic Mexican food and if you think it is please take yourself back to your obviously midwest or eastern part of our United States, we dont really need your closed minded viewpoints here. The food is great, prices are right, security ( I think it was) in the parking lot is super. The staff is not necessiarly nice but that is much better than fake and phoney, and you dont go lacking for anything.
- Pros: food is soo good, served relatively fast
- Cons: yes you do have to wait. If you like your service to be coddled, not the best place
