Tico's - Lincoln

I got the vegetarian burrito and I was super impressed. It tastes really fresh and flavorful. The cheese and Chile pico on top are great with a moderate amount of heat. I love it. Would definitely recommend. I ordered delivery through Seamless.

We ate here recently. It was not a new place for us, bu that been here only 1-2 times in many years. We enjoyed the chips and dip, although it certainly appeared they actually counted how many chips we were allowed. The ambiance is very good here the rooms are broken up so noise doesn 't spread. We both had chimichan 's. Hers was chicken and mine beef. I appreciated my food more than she did. As she started eating it, she noticed it looked more like a beef-filed one. She called the waitress over and showed her. The waitress agree it appeared the kitchen had made a mistake. A second one was ordered and came quickly. But as she was eating it once again the color and texture of the meat was not chicken, The manager finally came to the table. He left and went to the kitchen. Came back after 1-2 minutes later. He explained that it was indeed chicken, but the meat is a mixture of seasoned pork and chicken. My wife ate her food, but was upset because the name of the entree was 'chicken '. She didn 't enjoy it because she could taste the difference firstly but mostly because it was NOT what she wanted and it turned out ALL their chicken and beef are mixtures. My beef one it turned out was also a mixture. Why they did it we don 't know. As we let her comment to me was "I will never eat here again. Make sure when you write this up that you let others who might read it know what they are getting. . I am now doing it. Unfortunately for the restaurant, it appears many others are no longer fond of it because for a Saturday evening it was less than half full.

Such a neat place! I can't believe I'd never been to Tico's before last night. I've passed the building many times over the years. It's really impressive on the interior. We had friendly service and strong drinks. The spicy margarita was very spicy with intense flavor. If I went back I'd try the gold margarita. My date got a beer/Rita which was fun. The food was alright. Standard Tex-Mex. Their seasoned chips and fresh salsa were good. My favorite was the dessert. That fried ice cream was amazing! I'd go back sometime just for that. :D

Tico's is a Lincoln classic that has been around since the 70s. I don't know if they are as authentic as some other places I've tried in town, but there are a few items I really enjoy, like the grilled chicken cream cheese enchiladas and chile rellenos.Chips are visibly homemade and seasoned with tajin or something. I enjoy the original salsa they are served with, but since we are spice freaks, we always get the hotter one too. It is really thick but has a good kicky aftertaste. Prices are pretty reasonable and service has generally been good here. I love the asthetic inside, they are keeping it retro. I should explore the menu more, but generally stick with the combo choices each time.

Margarita was great! Food was bad. Got a chicken chimichanga. Would have expected the chicken to be shredded but it was cubed. Chimichanga was crispy which was the only positive, it lacked flavor and didn't have much interior at all. Service was slow. Sat for over 20 minutes before we got chips or were able to order drinks. Rice and beans were also underwhelming. There wasn't anything worthy of another visit. I would not recommend. I can't forget about the guacamole. Who doesn't love some fresh smashed guac? They don't : Somehow they even messed that up. I don't even think they have fresh avocados in the back, it tasted like the guac came out of a 5 gallon bag with no expiration date...
