Masala y Maíz
Centro, Cuauhtémoc, Mexico
Norma Listman and Saqib Keval explore the connections between Mexican, South Asian and East African foodways at Masala y Maíz. The result is personal cooking grounded in research and family histories, rather than a casual mixture of fashionable ingredients. Its current downtown setting gives an itinerary another reason to spend time beyond Roma and Polanco. Arrive curious, ask about unfamiliar preparations and follow the restaurant’s own reservation link to confirm the location and current dining format.
