Sorry, not a fan of this place. They have a nice bar with a lot of tequila selections. But the price for the tacos in my opinion are way off base. The quality is fine the service is fine , just the quantity per each item cost is way off. read more

This place was Plenty of options for us herbivores The food was fresh, the guacamole slammin, nice ambiance, and fantastic service. read more

Nixtaco - Tacos, drinks and my niece! - Mexican Near Me - Folsom, California

Nixtaco - Mexican Near Me - Folsom, California

I tried the Spicy Shrimp, Quesabirria, and Roadkill tacos. Unfortunately, the Roadkill was the only one that really delivered on flavor. The consomé could definitely be more flavorful.   That said, I really appreciate that everything is made from scratch, as shown in the video--that effort does not go unnoticed.I'm a big Triple D (Diners, Drive‑Ins and Dives) fan and love traveling to different cities to try places featured on the show, so this stop was a must.   I'll definitely be back to try the Fried Chicken and Octopus taco. The Roseville indoor seating is quite dark and could really benefit from better lighting. I'll also be checking out the Folsom location next time.   Service was great, which made the experience better overall. read more

We wanted to check it out for a while. Ambiance was nice and clean. The waiter that waited on us was super nice and friendly. Food was okay. Pricey. When we left no body acknowledge us leaving, not even a thank you or have a nice day. Wierd. read more

Great food, amazing service - the staff is very knowledge and I love the free. Hips and salsas. It's a fun place to go!

Vegan friendly restaurant ! Section of vegan tacos and they are great! Excellent service, good selection and busy spot with great drinks. My granny who only likes crispy tacos loved her street tacos and this was a win for the whole family! read more

Nixtaco - 3 of the 4 vegan tacos - Mexican Near Me - Folsom, California

If you usually prefer authentic Mexican vendors, this is definitely more of a splurge - but it is a nice treat if there is an occasion! I like their pork belly, roadkill and combination tacos. Their cocktails are also enjoyable. I haven't been to their Roseville location but the Folsom one is a bit smaller inside but very cozy. read more

Friendly staff. Kid didn't care for the blue corn tortilla with his taco but he likes the steak. Would be nice to have a yellow or white corn shell for kids. Husband didn't touch his barbacoa. The quesabirria was very oily and salty. Not our favorite. The second salsa with peanuts was odd. Other 3 salsas are good. Seemed clean and quick to serve. read more

Really tasty food. Good flavors. Fast service. Super friendly staff. Walked in with a party of 14 people who all didn't really know Mexican food very well. So .... Lotsa questions. The server was super patient and kind and welcoming. She answered questions and helped many members of our group find something they'd enjoy in the menu. I had a little of everything and enjoyed it all. I don't live here but I'll come back here if I'm in the area. read more

I'm not sure that this place is my vibe. The tacos were definitely "American" Mexican flavors and unfortunately very soggy and oily. I get that tacos can be messy, but it was just way too messy in my opinion. The drinks were pretty fabulous though and well-priced. So, it's more of a place for a nice happy hour with some okay-ish bites. The ambiance was nice -- I mean crowded for sure, but the decor was nice and everyone appeared friendly for the most part. We got sat at a table with other people (shared/community high top table) and I felt like we were just way too close to the other couple, so it took away from the intimacy of a girls' night I was hoping for. Either way, I'd visit again.. but it's not a place I'm rushing to get back to. read more

The potato taco at Nixtaco was INSANE. I tried a variety of tacos (including the cauliflower taco, chicken taco, shrimp taco, octopus taco, avo taco, and the potato taco). The potato taco was out of this dang world. The service was insanely fast. Especially given how busy the restaurant was. The vibes and ambiance was great. We ate outside and it was perfect weather. The staff was on top of water and ensuring we had everything we needed. Overall, fantastic experience. LOOK AT THOSE TACOS IN THE PHOTOS. Aren't they gorgeous?! Thank you Nixtaco for the lovely dining experience!! I will be back. read more

Love this other location of nixtaco! Same great food and a larger location. Good, friendly service and same amazing food. Definitely give this place a try! read more

Uninspiring, overpriced. Not terrible, but right up next to terrible. Come on, $ 7.00 for a mini street taco?? No rice or beans included thats extra,$ 5.00 for a diet coke in a can, which means no re- fills. Don't waste your money. This place will be gone when their lease is up. read more

Definitely a spot to check out if you're in the area! This cute restaurant is located in a small complex with plenty of parking. Walking up to the restaurant you'll notice outside seating available. When you go in, you're welcomed with a nice traditional and modern ambience. The dim lights and the linen curtains creates that extra warmth. The hostess was right at the front and greeted me. Reservations were set so she directed me to where to meet my party. As I sat down, the server was very attentive and welcome to me as well. To start off, I was looking for a spicy margarita. It wasn't on the menu, but he was kind enough to make one for me with no hesitation. I appreciated that he checked on our table often enough to make sure we were OK. I ordered the spicy shrimp tacos (I ordered it with no spice), and the Quesabirra tacos. The shrimp tacos were absolutely delicious! It had a good balance in flavors. I had a juicy first bite! The shrimp was cooked perfectly, and I loved the hint of lime. Definitely a taco I would order again. The Quesabirra taco came with the Birria dipping sauce. The taco was OK. Although it was not short of the beef, it could have used some onions and/ or cilantro to create more texture and in the taco. Overall, I'm excited to come back to bring the family and try the different tacos available. Great service, nice ambience, and a great place to check out ! read more

What is there not to love about Nixtaco?! I was sad to see Cantina Pedragal go, but if anything had to replace it, I am over the moon that it was Nixtaco. I met a friend here recently for lunch on a Friday afternoon. I love that they provide you with a sampler of their various salsas and their deliciously crunchy fresh tortilla chips. We also ordered some guacamole, which was superb. For my tacos, I got one birria taco and one goat taco. My friend had never eaten at Nixtaco before so I encouraged her to try the goat and she thoroughly enjoyed it. She also ordered an octopus taco. To wash everything down, we both ordered Arnold Palmer's made with their in-house lemonade. They were delicious and refreshing. And to finish off our meal, our waiter talked us into an order of the churros. They were crispy and perfectly coated in cinnamon sugar, and drizzled with caramel. You definitely cannot go wrong with anything on the menu at Nixtaco. read more

We came in on a whim after having our to go order canceled at another taqueria, and honestly it was the perfect accident finding Nixtaco. The husband was getting hangry and we couldn't have that, so I got on Yelp and found a new place. We stopped in and were pleasantly surprised by the relaxing ambiance, full bar, somewhat hipster vibe, excellent cocktail selection, and the food. I had myself a nice little house margarita and the pour was generous and the salt rim elevated the flavor exquisitely. Our server offered some excellent recommendations. We started with some drinks, salsas and guacamole . I tried the Octopus tacos and the elote'. Both were excellent. The guacamole was very fresh and featured a garnishment of fresh cilantro micro greens and red picked onions, served with blue corn tortillas. The octopus tacos were also quite good with a smoky salsa. The elote' featured yellow corn on the cob, char grilled, with cotija cheese sprinkles and just a touch too much salt, but I still devoured it, and honestly I think I'd order it again. My husband tried the carne asada tacos, Birria tacos, and pork belly. Naturally, my favorite was his carne asada tacos. I'm definitely getting those next time, in a burrito, and trying a michelada and a churro. Do try. read more

I've ordered food to go here over ten times easily. Excellent tacos. My favorite is the combo taco with a variety of meats. You can taste money being thrown at the taco to ensure a unique taste and high quality ingredients. Pricey for sure but worth it for a special taco experience. I've only had the tacos here but plan to try more of their options. Service has always been friendly and the wait time never long for to go orders. Highly recommend. read more

Service was good. Food was mediocre. Billing was all messed up and still messed up on credit card bill even after we asked the wait staff to correct it. read more

We tried majority of the tacos and we loved all of them. Each taco has their own unique flavor. I love that their tacos hold the meat and toppings very well which makes it easy to pick up and eat without being messy. (They also charge $2 for extra salsa) The fried chicken taco was the only one that I wish was a little bit bigger (chicken) to fill out the taco but other than that it was good. The service from staff was nice but they are persistent... at least it comes to ordering lol idk if it's because it was our first time and we just needed a moment a few times. They have tv's by the bar and the inside has a nice theme. The space is a little crammed on the inside but they make it work. The bathrooms are different from your "normal" men and women can go in the same direction but there are individual doors idk if that makes sense but that was a little different. I rate it 4/5 for overall experience but my BF rates it 5/5 (he's just there for the food). We will go back to try more items. read more

On the pricier side but these tacos are delicious!! I've tried the spicy shrimp (my favorite), birria, asada, pork belly, and roadkill. Everything I've tried has been great. Service is always fast and everyone is super nice and welcoming. We also tried some margaritas, I had the Strawberry and my partner got the Cadillac, both were delicious! So far have been in twice and would definitely come back! read more

Legitimate taqueria! A bit expensive and eccentric but great guac and a variety of house salsas and sauces. Pliny was on tap and they had some topo chicos to go! What's not to like? Will be trying more of the large taco variety hopefully in the near future. read more

Are you a fan of cauliflower? It's such a versatile vegetable. You can add to your tacos. I know, it's unique and never heard of, right? Nixtaco's have the best cauliflower tacos and drinks. I wasn't a fan of their chicken taco. You can mix and match the tacos. I will try other items from the menu. Perfect vibe spot for lunch during summer. Thanks to the server, I'm going back for happy hour. She shared the happy hour deals. How can I miss the good deal. read more

Best Seat in the House is at the Bar -- From the moment I walked in, the service was top-notch -- the bartender and wait staff were attentive, genuine, and made the whole experience feel effortless. The bar has an incredible selection of tequila -- we're talking a wall full of bottles that'll have you scanning for a while. That's when I spotted Fortaleza Reposado and knew I had to try it. Fortaleza is one of those rare, small-batch tequilas still made the traditional way -- tahona-crushed agave, brick ovens, wooden fermentation tanks -- at a distillery that's been in the same family for generations in Tequila, Jalisco. Aged in American oak, the reposado hits with notes of vanilla, caramel, and roasted agave. It's the kind of pour that makes you slow down and savor it. For tacos, I went with the Carne Asada, the Octopus, and the "Roadkill" pork belly -- all three delivered. The Roadkill especially lived up to its name. During happy hour (3-5 PM), the value is unbeatable. Grab a seat at the bar if you can. Just note -- the Folsom location doesn't have the same vibrant decor as Roseville. read more

Service was pleasant. Food arrived in no time. Salsa selection provided upon seating was below average; each had a unique flavor but not a single one is a must try. Ordered three of the four 'House Tacos' from the menu. Absolutely stuffed with meat. However, every single one tasted like a salt bomb had gone off in the kitchen, none more so than the Chicharrones. Prepare yourself and stay hydrated. Beer from the tap was delicious (Negro Modelo). Perfectly chilled with just the right amount of carbonation. Tap lines were clean, too. Very refreshing. Atmosphere felt like Chipotle Chic. Hard surfaces everywhere. No reflected ceiling (open to the underside of the structure), polished concrete and of course, non-stop music, making it loud AF in this place. In other words, a 'cantina' perfect for the Folsom / EDH crowd, just not for me. read more

The tacos were absolutely delicious and felt high-quality. I loved the homemade tortillas and the salsa flight that came with crunchy, not-too-oily chips. The tacos were so good I had to order three more! My favorites was the shrimp and quesabirra -- the shrimp was perfectly cooked, not overdone. Everyone was so friendly, and even the small details stood out -- the napkins were high quality, and I appreciated that the crayons weren't made in China. read more

Thought the food was very greasy and very small portions for what you're paying. The service was great the restaurant was very clean but just didn't have that wow we were looking for. read more

The tacos here are so freakin delicious! My favorite was the roadkill taco which tasted like a down south, smoky, Texas BBQ pork inside of a homeade blue corn tortilla,,, I ordered 2 of these to go because they were my favorite. Best fried chicken taco I have ever had. The lamb was savory and rich and very good, it just needed a tad more sauce. They bring chips and The service was stellar. This chef could move down to LA and compete with some of the best upscale taco shops I have tried. This is a must every time I visit family in Nor Cal. read more

So delicious! I loved that they give you a salsa flight and the tacos were great. You can tell they put a lot of thought into the menu and flavors. Wish I had a chance to try their cocktails, they probably would've been just as good. read more

Went to Nixtaco last weekend. We saw it on Triple D and were a little disappointed. We got a table right away but had to wait a bit for the server. When he came to the table he was very friendly and nice. He got our drinks and some chips and the samplers of the salsas. Chips were light and crispy. My wife ordered two vegan tacos, which is nice to see on a menu, and I ordered tacos the Guy had on the show ( the road kill, the fried chicken and i also got the short rib taco. The best one of all was the road kill. I really enjoyed it. The short rib taco was not very flavorful and the fried chicken was over cooked and dry. My wife enjoyed her vegan tacos but I thought they needed some freshness to them. They weren't that special to me. I may try Nixtaco again to try other tacos if I'm in the area. read more

I'd honestly give this more 2.5 than a 3. It was generally underwhelming. The food was just ok and wildly overpriced. $8-9 for one taco, just an average taco, I expected them to be amazing at that price. Chips and salsa are over complicated and also below average. Chips tasted like they were from a bulk bag and one of the four salsas was decent. The churros were good, that was a highlight. One of the worst margaritas I've had too. The service was great. Overall you're better off going to Mas Taco or Zocalo for higher quality food at reasonable prices and better atmosphere too. read more

Super friendly people working there. Smiling and helpful. Delicious food, if you're into tacos! 3 vegan tacos and a kids menu. We had the carne asada, combination, pork belly and octopus tacos. Our favorite was the carne asada, which is interesting because I don't care for beef in restaurants that is not a steak or a hamburger. However, it was delicious. A great new restaurant for Folsom. Will be back next week to continue working our way through the menu. read more

Nixtaco - Carne asada, pork belly, combination and octopus. A great combination plate. - Mexican Near Me - Folsom, California

Great higher end tacos that push up on the price boundaries for what you get. Better than Mas Taco Bar for sure but $7-9 for that sized taco is the expectation. Octopus taco had really good flavor and the meat was soft unlike other places I had octopus. The pork belly had nice texture and flavor. Carnitas felt like an average carnitas taco though. read more

Having travelled to Roseville several times to enjoy delicious tacos, the opening of a location in Folsom is a godsend. One suggestion for the management to consider, please give customers the option to request the type of salsa provided with the complimentary nacho chips, and provide enough of the same for a group without an additional charge (instead of a dollop of all four salsas). read more

This place is trash! Calling yourself a Michelin restaurant hiding behind pay to play awards, maybe stop worrying about chef dinners and focus on fixing your restaurant. Everything was just boring! The menu descriptions were great but the actual food was so lackluster in flavor. Everyone needs to get off this hype of this place, it's not good. read more

Pork belly (my fav) and the combination taco which has shrimp, cheese, and some other kind of meat. I've been ordering it for so long that I forget. The pork belly taco is simple with lots of flavor. Savory, sweet, and I add salsa so it's spicy as well! The service is always good here. The drinks are consistent and yummy! Not too sweet. It's a little bit of a darker vibe inside, I really like the outdoor area when it's not 105 degrees out. :) read more

Ahhh this is refreshing... Finally a local Mexican restaurant with some authenticity, flavor, and service! The chips and salsa right off the bat hit the spot. Best in the area and it comes with a variety of 4. The Peanut Chipotle Aioli and Roasted Carrot & Habanero are my favorite. Had the Combination taco & Roadkill taco. The flavor was amazing. Definitely coming back, and bringing a gang with me. Well done NixTaco! read more
