Nutty delicious

Vegetarian burgers in restaurants can be hit or miss. While Sacramento boasts some great options (Tower Cafe’s Earth Burger and Mother’s carrot nut burger, for starters), too often, they’re bland, thawed-from-a-package slabs. Or, they’re flavorful but mushy. Nido’s housemade nut burger ($12), however, is an all-around winner. Served on a doughy bun with oven-dried tomato and thick pickles, slathered in mustard and a flavorful chickpea aioli, the burger holds its shape and yields a satisfying crunch with each bite. Order it with cheese ($2) to add a gooey layer of yum. 1409 R Street, Suite 102; www.hellonido.com.
