Maico Restaurant Mexican Food — Restaurant in Tucson

My fiancé and I were driving down the road and decided to stop and try this place. I just came from Michigan, so I was really excited to try some authentic Mexican food. The prices were fair and the food was good quality. The employees were super welcoming and even educated me on a bug I’ve never seen before. I was really curious and they came out to tell me all about these beetles a come out during monsoon season. Super cool guys!

The only downside is that the menu isn’t very specific. Be sure to ask what all comes on/with the dish if you have allergies or...

I have this new thing, where the hubs and I try a restaurant/dining establishment we have not tried every other week. We are successful... sometimes and recently so when we drove into town to try Maico. I had it bookmarked... can't remember why but I know I wanted to try it.

Ordered a few different items - ALL excellent. Sonoran Dog, Rolled Tacos, Carne Asada Taco combo plate and a Chile Relleno burrito. The guy in the window where we ordered was incredibly nice and friendly, he actually brought us our food. It was over 100 out, and they have outdoor seating only. BUT, they have misters which makes all the difference and we were comfortable. The place was very clean, food came out delicious and hot. We enjoyed it a lot.

Even though I am obsessed with finding the worlds best chilaquiles... I have a side project in sampling the worlds Chile Rellano burritos. Maico's was impressive, give it a try if you find...

I have never met a Maico meal that I didn’t like. Best salsa verde I’ve ever had! (I often consider just ordering a tub to go.) You can seriously taste the love in their food.

I’m a vegetarian & I really appreciate that they have several very yummy veggie meals on their menu. They also have the option to make a number of their meal veggie friendly. The best part, they give you grief or act like a request to sub beans and/or rice instead of meat is wild or weird.

This is a family owned and operated place that always has a good vibe, great service, food that’s off the charts, dashes of humor (the father is hilarious!), and they treat everyone with kindness and respect. Not to mention the have very reasonable prices and are not at all stingy with their food.

Maico is hands down one of the best restaurants I’ve it is...
