"In a city teeming with taquerias, there’s a high bar for Mexican fare in a formal setting, but Nixtaco, situated in a Roseville strip mall just off the shoulder of Interstate 80, has proven its ability to deliver homey flavors in a full-service restaurant setting. As dietary inclusivity becomes the norm, this Michelin-recognized “farm to taco” outpost, as co-owners Patricio Wise and Cinthia Martinez describe on their website, takes that obligation a step further on its menu. There are six vegan tacos (go for the fried avocado taco with chipotle-peanut aioli and micro arugula, or the meaty cremini mushroom), as well as corn and flour tortillas, both made in-house." - Tamerra Griffin
