Nixtamal is a traditional maiz process that has been a staple for Mexican food since the Mesoamerican cultures. Born in San Antonio, Texas, Nixtamali Molino + Comedor is a unique Mexican culinary experience bringing flavors from different regions of Mexico like: Mexico City, Yucatan, Oaxaca among other Northern regions of Mexico.

Over the years, the value of corn has deteriorated, and our main objective is to revive and maintain this value in Mexican gastronomy. Nixtamali Molino Comedor is an authentic and regional Mexican cuisine in the United States. More than a restaurant, we offer an experience that takes you to Mexico with its flavors and, with the nixtamal process, to pre-Hispanic times.

    We enjoyed eating a unique cuisine that was beautifully presented and delicious. The pork belly with green mole was extremely good with only a little fat that was very flavorful.

    We had a wonderful experience at Nixtamali! From the moment we walked in we were welcomed by friendly staff and were frequently checked on throughout our meal. Everything we ordered was flavorful and delicious including 2 queso’s guacamole and bar drinks. Everyone in our group ordered a different entree and unanimously agreed that it was all delicious! Our server was kind, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and explained the various dishes very well. We will definitely return!

    Food was good but not great especially when you consider the price. Service is friendly but very slow. Atmosphere is good. The restaurant is nice and clean.

    Due the Valentine’s Day the crew were dealing with too much workload. The food was amazing but the speed for getting the plates to the table a little bit delayed and confused.
