Nissi VegMex serves twist on Mexican food With no prior experience, Sergio and Karen Tamez opened Nissi VegMex with three touch- stones: passion for vegan eating, faith in God and love for classic Mexican food. Sergio Tamez said he became vegan around 2016 but longed to savor the authentic Mexican staples from his childhood. What’s on the menu? Nissi’s o ers a variety of Mexican food favorites that skip the meat without skipping the authentic taste, Sergio Tamez said. “If you are visiting for the rst time, you must try the birria plate, AKA the dipping tacos,” Sergio Tamez said. In his own words “It is very satisfying to see someone come in and eat our food, and tell us they enjoyed every single bite,” Sergio Tamez said.
The gluten-free Ramen Birria ($9-$13) comes with rice noodles, radishes and chili sauce.
