Nixta Taqueria celebrates its 7th anniversary and launches its new cookbook Tacos to Tahdig on October 6, with a book panel followed by a guest chef pachanga featuring Turkey and the Wolf, Atomic Workshop, Roya, and Mercado Sin Nombre.
Duck confit gets reworked as carnitas, and the masa is made from scratch using heirloom corn nixtamalized in-house. The tuna tostada (citrus-cured yellowfin with furikake on a handmade crispy base) is the dish people end up planning return visits around. Walk up for counter tacos any day, or book ahead for the indoor tasting menu when you want the full experience.
