Tucked between two other establishments with no visible sign, Expendio de Maíz invites diners to take a seat at one of four long tables arranged under the covered sidewalk. While there are no reservations, there are a number of seatings, with guests placing their name on the list for the next round. This novel concept offers no food menu; instead, each course is presented as a surprise, one-by-one, until you confirm that you have had your fill.
Heirloom corn is nixtamalized in house and seen in every one of the savory dishes from tortillas to huaraches, and while dishes change, expect delicious offerings like a huitlacoche sope over a bed of refried beans. A sourdough concha topped with a layer of cream and accompanied by honey and a cup of cafe de olla makes for a nostalgic finale.
