Expendio de Maiz
Mexico City, Mexico
The read// why locals go
Expendio de Maiz builds everything from heritage Mexican corn, nixtamalised on site, ground daily and pressed to order behind a small counter on Alvaro Obregon in Roma Norte. There is no fixed menu. The kitchen decides what corn becomes that day and keeps sending plates until you stop it, which turns a meal into a sequence rather than a choice. Dishes land at around MXN 180, the room seats very few, and the appeal is narrow and deliberate: one native ingredient, treated as the whole subject rather than the base for something else.
