You Have One Week to Try Nixta’s Tex-Mex Menu

Award-winning taqueria Nixta Taqueria is changing its menu to “sci-fi Tex-Mex” this week, from Tuesday, February 14 to Sunday, February 19. Director of Masa Fermentation Andrés Garza is taking the reins to create Tex-Mex classics with a Nixta twist like tricolor masa bowls filled with sopa de fideo with a fire-roasted tomato broth or chili with heirloom beans; wagyu beef fajitas; enchiladas with beef, duck, or squash; and a crispy dog with a beef frankfurter, American cheese, ketchup, mustard, and tomatillo pico de gallo. For dessert, there’s payasos or orange cake. According to a statement from Nixta, the sci-fi aspect is to reimagine what Tex-Mex would look like “in an alternate universe, with honor for indigenous traditions.” The menu will be a la carte for lunch and dinner will be a prix fixe for $55. Check out the full menu below.

The church’s priest, Billy Tweedie, is a fan of the coffeeshop and hopes to redo buildings on the property to house Genuine Joe and nonprofit community cafe. Genuine Joe owner Josh Brown hopes to have a coffee truck on-site at the church starting in April. Genuine Joe opened at 2001 West Anderson Lane in 2005.
