About Nixtaco

Nixtaco offers delicious, unique tacos and great service. The standout Birria taco is still praised for being flavorful and greasy, while the homemade corn tortillas provide a perfect size and texture for a hearty bite. Customers are welcomed with four homemade salsas, each offering its own unique heat and flavor profile, which enhances the overall experience. Despite the slightly higher prices, the food is considered worth it. The friendly and knowledgeable staff contribute to the positive atmosphere, making it a terrific spot to escape chain restaurants. The short rib taco has been described as absolutely divine, while other offerings like the octopus, spicy shrimp, and Nashville hot fried chicken taco have also received high praise. Many visitors mention that the food is amazing and that the octopus taco is the best they’ve had, with tender meat and perfect pairing with peanut chipotle sauce. The pork belly, glazed and tender, is also highly recommended, with flavors that are both sweet and savory. The combination taco with shrimp and chicharrón is flavorful but messy and greasy. The Pollo en Mole could use some extra ingredients to balance its richness, while the spicy shrimp taco was considered plain and not very spicy. Overall, the octopus and pork belly tacos are worth every penny, offering satisfying textures and bold flavors. The complimentary chips with four different salsas, especially the chunky salsa verde, add to the enjoyment. Many customers have found Nixtaco to be a place that makes pretty damn good mole, a rare find in the area, and a welcome surprise for mole lovers.
