The only thing I would suggest is perhaps expanding the dessert menu—I wanted to try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Oro by Nixta deserves all the hype. The dishes were masterfully crafted with authentic ingredients that told a story of Mexican culture. I particularly enjoyed the quesabirria tacos which were packed with flavor and served hot. The decor added to the overall dining experience, featuring vibrant colors and beautiful art. The only slight downside was the wait time for a table, but once seated, it was clear why they are so popular! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! Oro by Nixta offers a tantalizing mix of authentic Mexican flavors with a charm that's hard to find. From the moment we stepped in, the decor set a warm and welcoming tone. My favorites were the tacos and the mole; they were bursting with taste! The service was attentive and personal. I did note we had to wait a bit longer for our food than anticipated on a busy night, so factor that in. However, it was worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)
