Expendio de Maiz · Restaurant · Mexico City
Michelin star masa counter, no sign, no menu
Expendio de Maiz Sin Nombre is the Roma Norte masa counter that won a Michelin star in 2025 and holds it in the current Mexico guide. There is no sign on Avenida Yucatan, no printed menu and no reservation book. The whole operation is organized around nixtamalized corn from small producers, ground and cooked to order a few feet from where you sit.
Ordering is a conversation rather than a transaction. The cooks say what came in that morning, then send out a rolling sequence of tlacoyos, quesadillas, tetelas, memelas and whatever vegetable, mushroom or braise is running, and they keep going until you tell them to stop. Portions are small and paced, the salsas change daily, and the bill lands as a running tally at the end.
The room is barely a room: an open storefront with about four commun
