Maizajo

"Maizajo’s conception began eight years ago when chef Santiago Muñoz began focusing on the recovery of maíz criollo, which for years had been losing the battle against the industrialization of tortillas. After opening a tortillería in Mexico City’s Roma neighborhood, he moved to Condesa to open this three-in-one restaurant. Downstairs, fresh tortillas are sold daily, made with 100% nixtamalized corn, either by hand or with special equipment, and always highlighting different regional varieties.Upstairs, a completely Mexican menu features street food with a boost, including wedding tamal and glazed tongue with salsa verde, and longaniza (pork sausage) tacos paired with either fried shrimp or rib eye." - Paula Móvil
