For this Nixta Review we’ll now share the dishes consumed over lunch this day, from the superb Nixta Menu.
What did we eat today off the Nixta Menu?
We consumed a total of seven dishes today off the Nixta Menu, and every single one was just off-the-charts delicious. Flavour explosions, textural pops, and food candy for the eyes galore. What an incredible experience dining here was, and to prove it we’ll be sharing a heap of Nixta Mexican Grill & Bar Photos
Nixta Mexican Grill and Bar: Blue tortillas and homemade Mexican Mole.
Nixta Mexican Grill and Bar Guacamole Nixta
@ $26
Haas avocadoes, grilled tomato, serrano, lime, white onion, and feta.
Oh man, this was just incredible. Yeah, it’s just nachos, right? But the guacamole is something I have never tasted before in all the Tex-Mex locales I have visited. This was seriously unique and has put this up on the pedestal as the very best I have eaten. You get flavour pops going off in your mouth from sour, sweet, savoury, and more. Exceptional!!! Must-try here.
Nixta Mexican Grill and Bar Bang Bang Potatoes
@ $24
Duck fat fingerlings, salsa verde, pecorino, hot sauce, raw garlic, and white sauce.
These were great, and the cheese was grate. So much cheese haha. This plopped on the table and BOOM the cheese aroma hit your nostrils. It’s a thing of beauty. The flavour combos of the about were perfect together. So this has the holy trinity of hitting us in the eyes first, then the nose, and finally the mouth. My only ‘moan’, I think the spuds could have been cooked a little longer, but is that a Mexican way to have them underdone? I don’t know… My bad.
Nixta Mexican Grill and Bar Quesadilla Oaxaca
@ $26
Red chorizo, crushed avocado, and fried potato.
WOOF!!! Again taking the heady heights here of some of the best Mexican versions of a food type are these. Great job Nixta, these were stunning. Because we had a veggie with us they had kindly deconstructed these, so I added back in that AMAZING red chorizo, avocado, and some of their black Habanero hot sauce.
Heavenly is all I can use as a word. Heavenly. My Jude Jude will go mad for these when we visit as a family, which won’t be too long in the future believe me. WOOF!!!
Nixta Mexican Grill and Bar Duck Barbacoa Taco
@ $17 each
Slow-roasted duck in hoja santa leaf, onion, tomatillo salsa, lime, and cilantro.
Quite punchy at $17 each, BUT!!! Off-the-bat this is some of the most incredible Mexican fare I have ever eaten. Stunning to look at when they pop the plate on the table. Squeeze some of the lime and dig in. You can’t help but start making those stupid noises we make when we like a taste. ALL FIVE OF US did this in unison, so powerful was the effect of this dish. Ignore the $17 and get a plate of these, you will not be disappointed. WOW!!!
Nixta Mexican Grill and Bar Tlayuda de la Casa
@ $29
Roasted corn, epazote, queso fresco, and herb oil.
Nixta surely is the gift that keeps giving. Our server was incredible this day for making recommendation after recommendation that was simply the best Mexican cuisine I have tried. She is a legend in my eyes and will be a cause of my return with my family.
She also recommended this dish, and boy did she get it right again. This is coined a Mexican pizza. It’s got the lot, and it is vegetarian people. It has the looks, the aroma, the taste, and the textures. My Jude Jude would eat this whole thing (me too). It really is just one of the very best pizza-style dishes ever to cross these hairy lips.
Nixta Signature Spit & Herb-Roasted Chicken
@ $40 (half portion)
Epazote, grilled garlic, and roasted jalapeño.
Up last was this bad boy. If you order the whole chicken you have to give 24-hour notice as this is cooked low and slow, just how I love to cook. Touch this chicken and it will fall apart, so very tender and juicy beyond juicy. This really was so delicious, but so very very HUGE. We could not consume this, that’s 5 adults. So Darren did tapow for his dinner this day.
I need to call out what made this Nixta Mexican Grill and Bar dish extra special for me. Read my Beer Bum Chicken Recipe. In that recipe, I put seasoned butter under the skin before roasting. These guys put a paste made from Epazote, grilled garlic, and roasted jalapeño under the skin. Can you see the green tint to the crispy skin in the photo? This will be up there in the heavens as the holiest on high chicken skin-eating ‘moments’. I might ask for a plate of seasoned Nixta Mexican Grill and Bar chicken skin next time… it’s divine.
What does Nixta Mexican Grill and Bar have to say about itself?
Nixta Mexican Grill and Bar is the culmination of Chef Travis Masiero’s intense reverence and respect for Mexican culture and cooking. Our philosophy is not rooted in authenticity but in the pleasure of intention and deliciousness that defines Mexican cooking. We are especially proud to be nixtamalizing and grinding non-GMO corn from small Mexican farm holds. This is the cornerstone of our experience. A wood-fired rotisserie anchors the open kitchen and provides the soul to many of our dishes while our Molcajete Bar is a link to the ancient traditions of Mexico’s past.

What's on the Nixta Mexican Grill and Bar booze menu...?
They have chosen one of the top-drawer Mezcal, a known favourite of a certain Mexican Ambassador who shall remain nameless.
Derived from agave plants aged between 9 and 10 years, Mezcal Dulce Infierno delivers a taste that is both smooth and enduring.
These agave plants are found flourishing in the wilderness of the Dios mountains in Durango, Mexico, where they grow naturally, without the aid of any chemical fertilisers. This eco-friendly approach allows the soil to preserve its nutrients, enabling the growth of top-quality agave. Each plant is handpicked to ensure the finest selection.
A step back in time, the agave’s hearts, also known as ‘pinas’, undergo a unique cooking process, reminiscent of ancient times. They are slowly cooked for six whole days in a traditional pre-Hispanic underground oven, using fiery volcanic stones and wood. This historic method instills the Mezcal Dulce Infierno with a taste that is truly one of a kind
