The 23 Best Restaurants On Austin's East Side - Austin - The Infatuation

"Nixta Taqueria is the kind of place that could only exist in Austin. It’s a lo-fi spot, with colorful corn murals, fluorescent lighting, and a golden disco ball—the restaurant version of an independent film on a shoestring budget. The food here treads a line between the super-traditional (they make their own masa) and the unconventional (you don’t see many taquerias where duck confit stands in for carnitas). They also have a massive patio out back, with its own bar serving natural wines from Texas, France, and Mexico." - nicolai mccrary, adele hazan, raphael brion
