Not worth the hype for me. Nixta has gotten lots of publicity, but unfortunately the plate portions seemed too small for me.

It’s a nice quiet place for a date or night with friends specially during the week. The food menu is quite small, but the alcohol menu has a lot to offer including...
Good food, but not for the budget conscious, at all. My $17 taco which I mistakenly assumed would be a couple tacos and maybe at least one side, turned out to be just one taco. It's extra for the chips and salsa which I'm used to at a lot of places now but which usually includes more and better salsas. It was pretty decent, but not by any means of value.

I love all things unique to Austin, and owned locally. Unfortunately I feel offended by Michelin’s nod to Nixta.
While I wanted to love Nixta, I found the stand in line service tedious. The lack of a real bar annoying, and the prices stupid. One taco for $xx dollars, no sides, no service, and confused orders. I’ve been here for 45 years and I advise you to pass. The duck at El Alma is tastier & less greasy The cauliflower at Peached Tortilla is superior...
