For 24 years I lived in Tucson. I saw MiNidito grow from a small hole in the wall to a larger bustling restaurant. The reviewer before me just hasn't a clue that the food at MiNidito would never include Velveta for that is an anglicized dish he speaks of - not authentic. The food is Sonoran, and even more, it is the Mexican food style of Tucson at its very best. MiNidito food is NOT some Epcot version of generic Mexican food equal to the ""genuine"" American food experience of McDonald's! This is food like I ate in the homes of my Mexican friends. I've been gone now for 14 years as a permanent Tucson resident yet I can walk into MiNidito, work my way to the desk, and Jimmy will greet me as if I was there last week. I am greeted by name. But I get no favorite treatment - because everyone is treated the same to personal service and fabulous food AND it's good discipline to wait to get it! :) We found we just planned for the wait. A lot of good conversation on warm nights just whet the appetite for when we were seated. Slow down and savor the company and the food. You owe yourself that.
Pros: Authentic Sonoran Mexican food; consistency; kind and willing service
Cons: Parking
