Nico's

2965 N. Campbell Ave

If Nico's on Campbell ever closed down, I think it would make an awesome tiki bar! 

  • Ham, egg and cheese breakfast burrito, $5.49
  • Price per ounce: 33 cents 
  • Fork or hand burrito: hand
  • Tortilla quality: A- (a little dense) 
  • Here because: You've been eating Nico's for years, duh. 

People claim that Nico's has the biggest burritos in town, but my scale says otherwise: A solidly-average 1 pound and 5/8 ounces of golden scramble, with little cubes of ham and some melty yellow cheese. I picked out a couple tiny potato cubes without the skin, but you probably can't taste them unless you're — you know — sober. Overall, great showing. PS: Their green wins the award for spiciest salsa at a 24-hour joint. 

Hours of breakfast burrito availability: 24 hours, seven days a week for the drive-thru and lobby
