Oro by Nixta is an amazing restaurant in Minneapolis that offers an unforgettable dining experience. The warm welcome from the owner/operators sets the tone for a great meal in a well-designed dining room. The beet salad is bursting with flavor, and the tacos (lengua, cauliflower, and soft shell crab) are insanely good, especially with artisan tortillas. The customer service is exemplary, with a specific take-out menu to ensure the food travels well. While the focus is on corn in each dish, the food is good but not exceptional. The hospitality may feel forced, but the staff knows the menu well and the presentation is excellent. The cocktails are a highlight, with creative flavors like El Cantarito and Sin Cara. The restaurant's 4-year-old mole is used in dishes like the Enmoladas de Pato, but while intriguing, the taste is not remarkable. Overall, Oro by Nixta is worth a try for its chef-driven interpretations of classic dishes, but it may not sit in the top tier of Twin Cities restaurants. With a pleasant atmosphere and delicious food, it is a place to visit for a unique dining experience.
