Nixtaco
Mexican
A strip-mall taqueria in Roseville with a salsa bar serious enough to slow you down before you even order. The nixtamalized tortillas are made in-house, warm and pliable, and the fillings run from shrimp with serrano and lime to a short rib barbacoa topped with avocado and black sesame. The Michelin Guide gave it a Bib Gourmand, and the Los Angeles Times put it on its California 101 list, both of which the parking lot does nothing to suggest.
Two honors, in evidence:
The record strongest first
- Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand
- Los Angeles Times The 101 Best Restaurants in California
