1. Nixta Taqueria

    Mexican

    At this scrappy East Austin taqueria, Edgar Rico and Sara Mardanbigi grind heirloom corn each morning for tortillas that anchor duck carnitas and tuna tostadas alike—ancient technique meeting duck fat refried beans in a menu that rewards early arrival with quiet mastery.
