FINE DINING

Expendio de Maiz

$$$ (< $50pp)LocalClosed

Michelin-starred, no-menu, cash-only sidewalk maize temple in Roma Norte.

Expendio de Maíz Sin Nombre is a Michelin-starred restaurant with no sign, no menu, no reservations, and no servers—just Chef Jesús Salas Tornés transforming nixtamalized heirloom corn into extraordinary dishes at four communal sidewalk tables. You sit, specify dietary needs, and eat what arrives: think fried corn kernels in coconut butter with hoja santa and edible flowers. It earned a Michelin star in 2025 after a Bib Gourmand the year prior. Cash only, first-come-first-served, and expect a wait—but this is one of the most singular dining experiences in the city.
