I had the Migas taco and the La Reyna taco. Both were excellent. I loved the veggies combination on the La Reyna taco. I would want to stop in and eat these every week if I lived in Austin. And the hot sauce was on point, both the green and the red. My husband had the Grilled Fish taco and the Grilled Steak taco. He couldn't decide which he liked better, but mentioned that the steak itself had amazing flavor. Do yourself a favor: free up two hours on your day off; order some tacos; order a Desnudo coffee or matcha or hibiscus tea and enjoy the tree-shaded outdoor dining area while you wait for some truly outstanding tacos.

The shrimp is sautéed in this extremely flavorful and spicy chili paste and it is an explosion of flavor in your mouth. The fish taco is also absolutely amazing. For the vegetarians, their cauliflower taco is great. And for the meat lovers, they're steak and Barbacoa taco is off the charts. Their beverages and juices freshly made in house are also always hit.

I've been on a hunt for a great taco spot, and I think I finally found it…read more It wasn't busy when we got there, and our food came out pretty quickly. I ordered an al pastor, lengua, and asada taco, and honestly, they were all so good. The asada was my favorite, but the other two were right behind it. The meat was flavorful, and the salsas had some heat to them, which I appreciated!!! My boyfriend ordered the chicken burrito, and it was just okay. The chicken was shredded and could've used a little more seasoning for my taste. I'm also not a huge fan of lettuce in a burrito, so that may have played a part in it not being my favorite. That being said, I'm definitely coming back because those tacos were SO good. Next time, I want to give the burrito another shot and order it my way. If it's anything like the tacos, I have a feeling it'll be a winner.

Al pastor is on the more firm side rather than fatty soft pieces, I think it's a decent balance although would've liked a bit more soft (personal preference). I would come back if I was in this part of Austin again, and was really craving some reliable tacos. It's not impressive enough for me to go out of my way to eat, but it's a really good choice if you're passing through already. They're also very quick to get the food out, and the seating area is outdoors but has fans in some spots.

Once you're inside, though, the whole operation runs with impressive efficiency. You order at the register, take your receipt, and hand it off to one of the taco guys behind the counter. As the sign says, "No Ticket, No Taco!" so don't lose it. Seating is limited and the line can get long, but they move fast. And don't come expecting cheese or sour cream -- the only add‑ons here are cilantro, onions, salsa, and guacamole. It's a stripped‑down menu, and they stick to it. The tacos are solid. The beef isn't anything remarkable, but the chicken is tender, moist, and genuinely flavorful. The quesadilla is the sleeper hit; the baked cheese gives it a deep, savory punch that outshines the tacos. And if you're hungry or just want the best value, the burritos are enormous -- stuffed right up to the tortilla's structural limit. A hidden little alley spot that delivers quick service, simple options, and reliably good food once you manage to find the door.

The onions and cilantro greatly balance each bite, while the salsa and guacamole are necessary and fundamental to tying the flavors together..

For me, the Chilaquil is the clear winner. Crunchy and soft, spicy and cool, just a masterpiece of balance. It seemed like special occasion food. The Machaca was a savory taco. Seasoned well, it also stands up very well to the hot red sauce. Migas was hard for me to recommend because I like much more salt in my scrambled eggs than Austin's norm. The tacos were overstuffed. It was difficult to keep the ingredients inside while holding them to eat. And the wait on a Saturday at 9:30a is at least 15 minutes once your order is in. People tended to order a lot at once! Completely worth the brief excursion away from downtown.

We loved each of them and the two salsas were highly complimentary. We washed them all down with cold bottled Coke.

Looking forward to checking that out in the future!! The star of the evening was the masa custard dessert. Wow. I've never tried something like this before and the pairing between textures and other flavors (caramel, cacao nibs, creme Fraiche)...literally melted in my mouth with each bite.

Little did I know that this dining experience would be one of the best I've ever had - comparable to NYC and Santa Fe. Ambiance was quiet and peaceful inside; outside seemed a bit more East Austin typical. Service was top notch. Suggestions for ordering, menu explanations, and informative explanation of their tortilla process was given to me by the gentleman who sat me. Not rushed with a "I gotta do this" tone. I could tell that he really loved being and working there. The food and drinks were absolutely amazing. I got an appetizer that was on their daily tastings, and two tacos off of the regular menu. The chef brought out all of my food and explained to me how each one was made and what ingredients were in each dish. I'm not sure how much I comprehended because what I was seeing with my eyes was so totally stunning. I was distracted. Beautiful! My eyes did not deceive me as the taste of the food was just as exceptional. I cannot wait to have another special event that I must attend in Austin so I can go back to Nixta Taqueria. It wasn't until I got home and looked up the restaurant that I found all of it's allocates. This was a great lesson to me that I should stop at places just as I'm driving by.

I ordered 2 steak tacos and horchata, both very delicious. The horchata is milky and sweet but not crazy sweet, and topped off with cinnamon. The steak tacos came out pretty hot, fresh from the grill. I got them on corn tortillas and I'm glad I did: idk if they make them in house but somebody in some house is making these because they definitely aren't store bought, and if they are I want to know where! I tried the orange habanero and creamy serrano salsas. The habanero was spicy off the bat, while the serrano had more of a lingering burn. Both paired well with the steak. They have a little bar, too, though I did not imbibe this time. Seems like they have a decent selection of agave spirits, and even Campari behind the bar (iykyk). Give them a shot, and thank the ladies in the kitchen.
