Mi Nidito Cafe

A perennial favorite among locals (the wait is worth it), Mi Nidito—"my little nest"—has also hosted its share of visiting celebrities. Following President Clinton's lunch here, the rather hefty Presidential Plate (bean tostada, taco with barbecued meat, chiles rellenos, chicken enchilada, and beef tamale with rice and beans) was added to the menu. Top that off with the mango chimichangas for...

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… Read More

I read on another Trip Advisor review that Mi Nidito's rellenos were 5 star. They aren't, folks. They aren't even close.
I ordered a relleno plate. The pepper was somewhat meaty which was good compared to all of the others I've tried. The plate of food looked like a plate of slop. The beans were nothing special, the rice was...

We met friends here for lunch on their recommendation. The wait was 45 minutes, but the weather was nice enough to be outside comfortably. The menu is very Sonoran, with selections unfamiliar to us (Tex-Mex fans). I tried Carne Seca and my husband had a combo plate of some kind. The tortillas are the HUGE kind that you tear to...

Good neighborhood place with energetic service and huge crowds

Average Rating

We found out about Mi Nidito from a docent working at the art museum. A good neighborhood Tex-Mex on the south side, it draws huge crowds and usually requires a wait.

We had an early dinner at Mi Nidito. This restaurant is really popular and has great food. We got there about 4:30 in the afternoon and there was already a short wait.
I didn't feel I could handle Bill Clinton's famous President's Plate, so I settled on the Flat - Old Fashioned Handmade Enchiladas. They were great!
The décor is...

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. The restaurant won and that is how Mi Nidito was created.Mi Nidito was opened by Ernesto and Alicia Lopez on the corner of 4th Ave and 29th...
