"Masala y Maiz is an acclaimed restaurant owned by Norma Listman and Saqib Keval, who have Mexican and Indian roots. The restaurant focuses on the harmonious blending of Mexican and Indian cuisines, with dishes like a samosa stuffed with suadero. They emphasize 'mestizaje' as a means of survival and combating colonialism, distinguishing their approach from others." - Ashok Selvam
