Shukran Sessions #007 with Nixta Taqueria

Nixta Taqueria at La’ Shukran

Shukran Sessions #007: Nixta Taqueria with Edgar Rico & Sara Mardanbigi is a guest chef dining event at La’ Shukran in Washington DC. Nixta Taqueria is the participating restaurant, and La’ Shukran is the host venue. The event brings Edgar Rico and Sara Mardanbigi from Nixta Taqueria in Austin into a Shukran Sessions format built around a specific culinary collaboration rather than a standard restaurant service.

The host venue is La’ Shukran, listed as a restaurant at Alley Entrance, 417 Morse St NE 2nd Floor, Washington, DC 20002. The event is also described as a reservation session, so the practical shape is an evening dining event connected to the restaurant rather than a lecture, tasting class, or open-ended reception.

Program focus

The food focus is an exploration of Mexican, Persian, and Levantine flavors. That pairing is the clearest reason this session is distinct: Nixta Taqueria is identified with Edgar Rico and Sara Mardanbigi, while La’ Shukran is the Washington DC host connected to the Levantine side of the program. The description does not name individual dishes, courses, beverages, or a menu format, so the useful planning detail is the stated flavor frame and the guest-chef collaboration.

Featured participants

Edgar Rico is identified as chef and co-owner of Nixta Taqueria. Sara Mardanbigi is identified as co-owner of Nixta Taqueria. Together, they are the named guest participants for this session, with Nixta Taqueria listed as the Austin participating restaurant and taqueria.
