1. Nixtaco

    Mexican

    A strip-mall taqueria where nixtamalized tortillas cradle slow-braised chicken, sautéed shrimp, and short-rib barbacoa with equal care. The salsa bar—smoky peanut chipotle, bright verde—matters as much as the fillings. Nixtaco trades precious real estate for precision, turning humble ingredients into something that tastes like it took longer to make than it did.
