Between its James Beard nomination for Best New Restaurant and spot on Bon Appétit's own year-end list, Oro by Nixta hit the ground running in 2024. Chefs Gustavo and Kate Romero first launched their business as a love letter to masa during the pandemic — one that was expressed through pop-ups, weekly takeout dinners and some of the country's most complex heirloom corn tortillas. That mission now carries on over to a dine-in menu that's meant to be shared and devoured.

Or as fellow acclaimed chef Diane Moua put it in her international food guide, "Don’t go by yourself, or as a table for two; you need to go with a group of four and try everything."
