Our first and not last time at Nixtaco The staff were amazingly friendly, fast service and outstanding food and beverage offerings I enjoyed starting off with the guacamole, chips and variety of four salsas, followed by two tacos. Nixtaco Combination Shrimp mazatlan-style, rajas con queso, chicharrón, micro cilantro and toasted chile, peanut chipotle and sesame seed oil. Carne Asada Grilled Harris Ranch Skirt Steak, Grilled Cheese, Caramelized Onions, Salsa Verde. Ended the meal with dessert Buñuelos Dessert pastry made from a crispy four tortilla, cinnamon, sugar and caramel drizzle

The guacamole was amazing , lots of fresh microgreens and really delicious. start was a little slow, but overall, it’s a Michelin-star-worthy taco spot with great vibes. The margaritas were on point. There were a few flies outside, but that didn’t take away from the overall great experience. Definitely recommend

Fantastic experience, it is usually busy so have the expectation that you'll likely wait if you don't have a reservation. But, the food is soooo worth the wait! Everything is delicious and you can tell it's prepared with care. My favorite is the Al Pastor...so good! 🤌🤌 Also, be sure to try some of their house cocktails!

This "farm to fork", Michelin bib gourmand place has amazing tacos! Not what you find at a traditional taqueria, but the flavors and ingredients are totally Mexican. Tortillas are hand made. Servers are considerate, sitting outside on a warm day is very pleasant. The atmosphere inside is very nice too.

Have not been disappointed! House made tortillas, friendly service. Chips and four different kinds of salsa brought out right away. A great house made margarita!! All of the tacos have been delicious

This place is over communicative in regards to allergens that may be in their food, which I can appreciate with a kid with a nut allergy. The house made chips are really good. I like that the salsa comes with multiple sauces. The menu is very wide and I believe that you will find something that you will really love. I think 3-4 tacos are probably the right amount. Plan on spending 20-30 per person. The kids menu is limited but they hit the classics.

On our way from SFO to Lake Tahoe, we decided to stop here—and I’m so glad we did! These might just be the best tacos I’ve ever had. When you sit down, you’re welcomed with four homemade salsas, each with its own unique heat and flavor profile. Even the spicier ones let you taste more than just heat, which I really appreciated. The homemade corn tortillas were perfect—just the right size and texture, giving the tacos a hearty, satisfying bite. We ordered six tacos, and every single one was amazing. My top picks were the octopus, which was incredibly tender, and the spicy shrimp, cooked to perfection. My husband loved the pork belly—rich and flavorful. Each taco was distinct, with so many layers of flavor. If you’re a fan of bold sauces and vibrant tastes, this place is a must-visit!

Outstanding upscale tacos. Even though we didn’t have a reservation we were seated rather promptly, highly recommend you get one if going during lunch hour or later in the evening. You definitely can’t go wrong with any of their tacos. Pulp taco is out of the ordinary but very good. Service is great and staff is very friendly, food took no more than ten minutes to arrive at the table. Highly recommended restaurant.

Nixtaco is a modern spin on tacos with quality ingredients and bold flavors. Every time I'm in the area, I make sure to stop by. Their handmade corn tortillas are fluffy and thick enough to hold all the toppings, but pliable and light. Octopus 5/5* The best out of all the tacos we tried over the years. The octopus was super tender and perfectly paired with the peanut chipotle sauce. They don't skimp on the octopus and you get nice meaty chunks as well as the charred tentacles. The serrano infused butter added richness, but also has some serious kick to it! This taco was just perfection in both textures and flavors. Pork Belly 5/5* Wow! That glazed pork belly slab is good enough to be its own dish. It was fork tender, juicy, with an even ratio of meat to fat. The refried beans tasted slightly sweet from the glaze, almost like a mole sauce. The flavors were so well balanced.. sweet and savory. Nixtaco Combination 4/5* The taco was loaded with a mound of plump shrimp and chicharrón. The sprouts added a nice refreshing taste to all that savoriness. Although tasty, it's really messy and saucy. I also thought the sesame seed oil was too much and made the taco really greasy. Pollo en Mole 3/5* Just what the name says. Compared to the others, it needed something extra, veggies or something to balance out the rich mole sauce and soft chicken texture. Spicy Shrimp 2/5* Wasn't very spicy and too plain. 4 shrimps with grilled cheese was underwhelming. You could barely taste the caramelized onion. Although pricey, the octopus and pork belly tacos are worth every penny. They combination of textures and flavors are on point and will leave you satisfied. Not to mention the complimentary chips with four different type of salsas. Every salsa was delicious in its own, my favorite being the chunky salsa verde.

Let me start by saying the food is really good tacos are creative and they taste good but the big problem is is they're not very big and the taco start off at $8 each and go up from there. Burritos are almost $20. Also the shells are not homemade they taste store-bought that's somewhere where they could really improve too especially since they're asking an absolute premium on their tacos. I get what they're trying to do but Mas Tacos is about half the price with a very similar menu and style. I do not believe this is a very good value so I probably won't be coming back.

The presentation looks great, and the food tastes decent, but paying over $100 for a few tacos and drinks doesn’t feel justified. In particular, the food felt as though it had cooled and was served close to room temperature, and the fact that items like lime were not provided is a downside. the servers were exceptionally friendly, which was very impressive. It seems the Bib Gourmand badge has pushed the prices higher for the quality.

This is the third time I’ve eaten here and feel like it was finally time to write a review. I get the same tacos everytime for the most part and will review them but first and foremost I’d like to say if you’re looking for a good vibe this is the place. They have indoor and outdoor seating and the main room is awesome to be in. If you have a bigger party, it may be less enjoyable. They have a room through the back which we had this last visit because we had 9 people and the vibes are totally not the same at all. It feels like they are putting you in a back room for a birthday party and just kinda ruined the excitement for myself personally. The service is top notch and I’ve never experienced anything less than great waitresses and waiters. They know the menu well and are happy to provide feedback on all menu items. Now for the important part, the food and drinks. The margaritas are excellent. If I had to choose my go to margarita it would be the Cadillac. The others are just okay, I’ve had the prickly pear and it’s good but not as good as the ones I’ve had down in Arizona or elsewhere. The tacos are awesome, however I was disappointed with the consistency this last visit. I always get the carne asada, the combo and the pork belly tacos and I’m sorry to say the pork belly taco was very very grisly and hard this last weekend. I had to cut though the fat of it with a knife and it got stuck in my teeth and honestly grossed me out. I probably won’t get that again as a result. The other tacos are awesome and we love the salsas.

Great service, very nice staff. Unfortunately the food was a bit underwhelming, the pork and adobada tasted a bit like barbecue, the smokiness overwhelmed the intensity of the taco. The rice tasted to much of tomato, I had clumps of mushy bits, which is normal but it was very intense. If you are looking for authentic it misses the spot but it’s a cute place that has the spirit. For the price I expected a bit more but nevertheless it was okay. The ambience of the place is very modern and simple.

Not sure how they have the rating they have with over 2500 reviews. This place was subpar at best. We tried 6 different tacos and all were either dry meat or overly greasy. Only one that was alright was the standard carne asada and that was bland as hell. Flavors weren’t good. Definitely gave hipster, try-hard atmosphere. $8 per taco wasn’t very appealing as well. Something was off about the chips Only thing I would say was good was the service. Waiter was nice and we were served quickly. To sum it up I’d rather go to jimboys up the street.

Okayyy… this place is NOT good. It’s someone’s idea of what fancy Mexican food should be and poorly executed at that. This was the first time trying a Bib Gourmand restaurant (which was recommended FOUR years ago and not since!!) and wow I was appalled. If you like authentic Mexican food, ANY taco stand on the street has this place beat. Let’s do the pros first: Pliny the Elder on tap. Good beer list and strong margaritas. Happy hour specials too! Good chips and salsa - complimentary. That’s about it for the pros. Now for the cons… 1. Everything was room temperature. A congealed mess of cheese, proteins and occasionally beans. Unpleasant mouthfeel and no char. 2. The al pastor and barbacoa were soaking wet with juice. Definitely pulled out of a slow cooker pot. That was pulled pork in two different sauces and it was not good. 3. The shrimp and pork belly were beyond salty. The salt overwhelmed the flavor of anything else. 4. The birria taco was so disappointing. Congealed & soggy with tasteless beef. The consommé legitimately tasted like Campbell’s tomato soup topped with cilantro and onion. 5. $$$$ holy cow, paying $7-9 a taco one should expect perfection and nothing short of it. Unfortunately it fell incredibly short. $14 for one avocados worth of guacamole is a JOKE. TLDR; good drinks, bad food. This place tried too hard to create something new it forgot the roots of what Mexican food should be.
