"Nixta isn’t the place you come when you want to scarf down half a dozen small, street-style tacos. It’s where you go when you want to experience unique, rich Mexican flavors that just happen to arrive on a nixtamalized corn tortilla. It’s unstuffy and unpretentious, but seasonal ingredients and a great list of natural wines make it equally suited for special occasions and random Tuesday nights (but you can also just get a Modelo). In many ways, Nixta is pretty representative of Austin—it’s fancy food that you don’t have to dress fancy for." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, raphael brion
