The presentation looks great, and the food tastes decent, but paying over $100 for a few tacos and drinks doesn’t feel justified. In particular, the food felt as though it had cooled and was served close to room temperature, and the fact that items like lime were not provided is a downside. the servers were exceptionally friendly, which was very impressive. It seems the Bib Gourmand badge has pushed the prices higher for the quality.

I’m rarely in Roseville, so the first chance I had, I decided to grab tacos at Nixtaco. I totally understand the hype and Michelin recognition. They have a really diverse taco menu. Personally I love all sorts of savory, meaty tacos, but I love to be wowed by flavorful vegetarian options. I went with a combination taco so I could try a bit of the raja con queso as well as their shrimp mazatian. I had the short rib barbacoa and pork al pastor tacos as well. I think my favorite was the al pastor as it was perfect as is. I didn’t add any salsa for heat or flavor – although the flight of salsa and chips was delicious on its own.
The service deserves a standalone paragraph. I didn’t catch the hostess’s name but she greeted me quickly and told me about the happy hour specials as I was there at 3:30 on a Wednesday. My server’s name was Christina and she had great recommendations. She checked in moments after each item arrived. The food came out incredibly quickly while looking fresh and tasting great.
Thanks for the late lunch!

Nixtaco is a modern spin on tacos with quality ingredients and bold flavors. Every time I’m in the area, I make sure to stop by. Their handmade corn tortillas are fluffy and thick enough to hold all the toppings, but pliable and light.
Octopus 5/5*
The best out of all the tacos we tried over the years. The octopus was super tender and perfectly paired with the peanut chipotle sauce. They don’t skimp on the octopus and you get nice meaty chunks as well as the charred tentacles. The serrano infused butter added richness, but also has some serious kick to it! This taco was just perfection in both textures and flavors.
Pork Belly 5/5*
Wow! That glazed pork belly slab is good enough to be its own dish. It was fork tender, juicy, with an even ratio of meat to fat. The refried beans tasted slightly sweet from the glaze, almost like a mole sauce. The flavors were so well balanced.. sweet and savory.
Nixtaco Combination 4/5*
The taco was loaded with a mound of plump shrimp and chicharrón. The sprouts added a nice refreshing taste to all that savoriness. Although tasty, it’s really messy and saucy. I also thought the sesame seed oil was too much and made the taco really greasy.
Pollo en Mole 3/5*
Just what the name says. Compared to the others, it needed something extra, veggies or something to balance out the rich mole sauce and soft chicken texture.
Spicy Shrimp 2/5*
Wasn’t very spicy and too plain. 4 shrimps with grilled cheese was underwhelming. You could barely taste the caramelized onion.
Although pricey, the octopus and pork belly tacos are worth every penny. They combination of textures and flavors are on point and will leave you satisfied. Not to mention the complimentary chips with four different type of salsas. Every salsa was delicious in its own, my favorite being the chunky salsa verde.

Let me start by saying the food is really good tacos are creative and they taste good but the big problem is is they’re not very big and the taco start off at $8 each and go up from there. Burritos are almost $20. Also the shells are not homemade they taste store-bought that’s somewhere where they could really improve too especially since they’re asking an absolute premium on their tacos. I get what they’re trying to do but Mas Tacos is about half the price with a very similar menu and style. I do not believe this is a very good value so I probably won’t be coming back.

This is the third time I’ve eaten here and feel like it was finally time to write a review. I get the same tacos everytime for the most part and will review them but first and foremost I’d like to say if you’re looking for a good vibe this is the place. They have indoor and outdoor seating and the main room is awesome to be in. If you have a bigger party, it may be less enjoyable. They have a room through the back which we had this last visit because we had 9 people and the vibes are totally not the same at all. It feels like they are putting you in a back room for a birthday party and just kinda ruined the excitement for myself personally. The service is top notch and I’ve never experienced anything less than great waitresses and waiters. They know the menu well and are happy to provide feedback on all menu items.
Now for the important part, the food and drinks.
The margaritas are excellent. If I had to choose my go to margarita it would be the Cadillac. The others are just okay, I’ve had the prickly pear and it’s good but not as good as the ones I’ve had down in Arizona or elsewhere.
The tacos are awesome, however I was disappointed with the consistency this last visit. I always get the carne asada, the combo and the pork belly tacos and I’m sorry to say the pork belly taco was very very grisly and hard this last weekend. I had to cut though the fat of it with a knife and it got stuck in my teeth and honestly grossed me out. I probably won’t get that again as a result. The other tacos are awesome and we love the salsas.

One of the best authentic taco places in Roseville. Clean, modern and beautiful interior. Friendly staff and very delicious tacos! Wide variety of combinations! Their salsas are also very good!
Reasonably priced! Gets busy, plan accordingly.

Superb food as always from Nixtaco! Went to the original location a few years back and totally forgot about the Folsom location until I had a family member out visiting. Its hard to recommend things because every single thing I’ve tried has been delicious so I don’t think anything would be a let down. The birria was delicious, which a lot of other places fail at out here, so definitely try that if you’re on the fence. Carnitas are amazing, al pastor was amazing, spicy shrimp was so tasty and the spicy potatos were so buttery and full of flavor. The free salsa flight is an awesome touch as well, got me to try a couple flavors I wouldn’t normally order myself – salsa with peanuts?!? Dont knock it til you try it! Can’t wait to go back 🙂

It was a nice establishment with attentive service although I’m not sure I liked the food style. The food quality and taste was actually good but I guess I was looking for the traditional Mexican food I’m used to. This was a completely different taste albeit very good. My wife loved her dish and she said it reminded her of the taste of Yucatan. She’s Mexican and knows many of the different food regions of Mexico. To me it was a trendy restaurant with a different vibe. It definitely seems very popular.

Nixtaco was amazing. We sat at the bar and it was so cool being able to watch the tortillas made fresh right in front of us. You can really taste the difference, they were easily some of the best tortillas I’ve had.
I had the house margarita, which was excellent, and they even had Pliny the Younger on tap, which my boyfriend was very excited about.
We ordered the Pork Belly Taco (the Bacon Fest winner), Mushroom Taco, Rajas con Queso Taco, and Fried Chicken Taco, and every single one was incredible. The chips and four salsas were also a highlight, especially the peanut salsa, which was so unique and delicious.
Service was excellent, food came out quickly, and the overall vibe was really chill and welcoming.

Debuted in 2015 by Patricio Wise and Cinthia Martinez Sacramento’s most acclaimed Mexican eatery is tucked away in a Roseville Strip-mall, the corner slot adjacent a church continuing to draw Michelin Bib Gourmand acclaim each year since the guide expanded past Napa Valley.
Unassuming from the outside, an outdoor patio giving way to booths and tables stretched along the open kitchen, light music plays while guests peruse a menu of Tacos and Burritos rooted in tradition but unafraid to have fun.
Natives of Monterrey, but not afraid to riff on the Capitol’s “farm to fork” ethos by calling their concept “Farm to Tacos,” all tables begin with complimentary housemade Chips alongside four Salsas ranging from mild green to smoky Peanut and fiery Habanero Carrot.
Proud of their process, educated servers discussing everything from nixtamalization to the slow-cooked Proteins, options run the gamut from Esquites done the right way to Birria de Res complete with a sidecar of Consommé.
Priced $6 to $9 per Taco, pricey but justified by the quality of each bite, Chicken Mole skips sweetness in favor of earthy aromatics complimented by Crema while Fried Chicken and the signature “Nixtaco Combination” are busy but tasty while nearly overwhelming the faultless Handmade Tortillas.
Faced with tough decisions for Dessert, though staff suggests Flan over Churros, a $10 square arrives oversized and soaked with Caramel atop density and creaminess that features no air pockets but rather a texture akin to French Crème Caramel but better.
