Expendio de Maíz
Expendio de Maíz treats masa as Mexico City’s main event rather than a supporting act. Its small communal-table format, chef Jesús Salas Tornés’s corn-led cooking, Michelin recognition, and repeated Opinionated About Dining placements put it in the city’s serious casual tier, closer to a study of tortilla craft than a conventional restaurant script.
