Nissi bills itself as Austin's first fully plant-based Mexican restaurant, set in a strip center on Research Boulevard in the Wooten neighborhood. The menu takes on familiar Mexican dishes — tacos, plates, burritos — built entirely from vegan ingredients, with an emphasis on sourcing things locally.
Birria tacos have become the dish regulars point to first, showing up again and again in conversations about the place, alongside a taco plate and a burrito filled with vegan carne asada. The format stays casual, a straightforward menu aimed at vegans and at meat-eaters curious about a plant-based take on the genre.
