My wife and I went to Nixta last light for her birthday. We cannot say enough rave reviews! The atmosphere was romantic, chic and cozy. The food was EXCELLENT considering that I normally do not like Mexican food. The fish tacos and chicken tacos were superb. The tortilla chips were so good and the flan was the topping to a great night.

The reopened Nixta on Delmar is a delight! We enjoyed our guacamole app, hamachi aguachile, mixto ceviche, al pastor tacos, & carne asada tacos. Everything was tasty but the tacos were particularly outstanding. The sweet and savory balance from the al pastor tacos left us craving another helping. We cannot wait to return and try a few more dishes off the revamped menu. Bravo, Ben! This new location is sure to be a hit.

I don’t even know where to start with this review…. The restaurant is very hot, humid, and muggy. Not sure what the vibe and atmosphere was supposed to be? Mexican restaurant with beach decor? And good luck if you’re ordering salsa AND guacamole, you only get one basket of chips (not even filled up all the way) for $4 and $8 for guacamole. Couldn’t even finish them because we ran out of chips. The ceviche comes with ONE singular chip for the whole bowl. Just not a good experience at all. Especially at the price, I would skip this one.

Great food! Limited menu when I went as it was going to close and reopen somewhere next year, but the street corn, salsa, fish tacos and chicken mole were all wonderful! Can't wait to see this reopen!!!

We had an absolutely delightful experience dining at Nixta. It was quiet, cozy and very welcoming. The appetizers were delicious. The tacos were also very tasty so don’t fill up on chips. Staff was friendly and attentive. We will be back!!

We had an amazing experience at Nixta. Our waitress (Molly) was outstanding and everything she recommended was delicious. Unique and tasty choices (and for those staying otherwise, we had plenty of chips for our appetizers and were offered refills) We loved everything we ordered from drinks to desserts. We highly recommend it!

The ceviche was basically pico de gallo without the cilantro. The fish was barely there, less than an ounce. The mole was the worst I've ever tired. Basically spicy bbq sauce, mostly lack of flavor, bone in chicken legs WITH the skin on. The street corn was a can of corn in a water broth, with cheese sprinkled ontop. We picked at the food. I would never come back here. EXTREMELY overpriced, especially for not drinking our bill was over $100. Do better Nixta.

Restaurant smelled like sewage and left immediately. Dining room was empty and staff said nothing after we told them why we walked out.

Nixta, named after Nixtamalization (traditional Mexico and Central America method to process maize) is another of Bengelina hospitality group star modern Mexican restaurant. The bright wall colors, decor and seating space in patio as well as inside will feel like you are transported to a Mexican beach cantina. Friendly staff, great drinks, small menu of starters, sides and entrees and fast service adds to the value of this place. Reservation through Tock is recommended. We had Ben as our server who was great with recommendations for food and desert! The Escolar ceviche and vinaigrette of Antojito perfectly complements the warm Nachos. Crispy octopus was artistically served and Tamale as well as Tacos were great as well. Portion size is on smaller side so so add a side of green or red rice etc. Overall a great experience and unlike any regular Mexican place in the city.

Solid Mexican spot. Appetizers were great. Main courses were good. Definitely a nice spot for a date night, but the cocktails left something to be desired.
