I love Oro, Nixta's restaurant in Northeast Minneapolis, so when we decided to grab a quick dinner in the newly reconfigured Graze food hall, now managed by the Travail folks, getting food from Tixtli seemed like a no-brainer.
I ordered the quesabirria tacos, the pork belly taco, and a taco called the gobernador. The quesabirria tacos were great, complete with consomme, pickled veggies, and a nice salsa. Yum! The pork belly taco was also very good, with its pico de pina, avocado, and fresh cilantro toppings. The hit of the group for me was the gobernador taco. It was filled with lovely perfectly cooked shrimp and topped with quesillo, sofrito, onion, and chipotle mayo. Man, was this good!! The tacos were only $7 each, and were worth it! They do an agua del dia, and they had passion fruit that evening. Although a bit sweet for my taste, it was still refreshing and tasty.
They clearly make food there, because one of the cooks was peeling winter squash for the calabasa taco. I will have that veggie option next time.
The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and the service was fast. If you want a delicious and quick dinner, I highly recommend this place.
Wanted to check out Nixta but at less damage to finances (I am sure restaurant is worth it, I just can’t afford it). -It was excellent. Had shrimp ceviche and taco. I will be back to try their vegetarian taco. Nice food experience.

Loooove the tortillas. Way too much sauce on the shrimp taco- that’s all you taste. Would get it on the side next time.
