Visited here yesterday for lunch and boy was it worth it! There's no menu, so you get what you're given! Trust it! They tell you before they serve you and we had a few veggie dishes which were sooo delicious. They do cater for some dietary requirements. I've attached my pictures of the meals we had. I love the open kitchen and buzzing vibe. It's cash only which is something I wish we knew beforehand and they only have seating at certain times but we showed up spontaneously and got a spot in the next slot 30mins later.

Prepare for a culinary adventure as we delve into the breakfast scene at Expendio de Maíz in Mexico City! This establishment has garnered widespread acclaim, and let me assure you – it absolutely lives up to the hype.
Imagine stepping into an open kitchen where the chef takes center stage, with no menu in sight! That's right – at Expendio de Maíz, the chef crafts his culinary creations based on the freshest ingredients sourced daily from the market. It's an ever-evolving culinary journey with each visit.

Here's how it works: upon arrival, guests are greeted with a warm cinnamon water, setting the tone for a cozy experience. Then, the snacks begin to arrive, followed by a personal visit from the chef to discuss the day's offerings. From there, guests are treated to 5-6 courses of pure deliciousness, with the flexibility to customize their dining experience according to their preferences.

What truly sets this place apart is its welcoming vibe – reminiscent of enjoying a homemade meal cooked with love. It's a no-frills, no-fuss environment where honest-to-goodness food reigns supreme.

The food was good and followed by interesting explanations about the dish and its roots. Not knowing what comes next is at the same time exciting and frustrating - there were dishes I wish I had skipped. The open kitchen gives the environment a good and casual atmosphere. The main issue: the restaurant does not accept cash, which I wish that was mentioned in their introduction, as we had to run to a closest ATM.
It was the most expensive meal we had in Mexico (~700 pesos per person)

There is nowhere in the world I enjoy and look forward to eating more than Expendio de Maiz Sin Nombre. First thing I do after booking my flights is check to see if they’re open when I land / depart. Securing a seat might look different depending on time of day, so if you’re allergic to waiting show up before they open to put your name down. There are plenty of coffee shops, stores etc to check out while you wait. If you relate to the negative reviews, do us all a favor and keep those vibes away. This place is not a fit for the entitled tourists. If you’re open and enjoy culinary adventures you will love and crave the food as much as I do. There is no menu but they do accommodate vegans / vegetarians. I’ve visited on consecutive days and they were kind enough to send out dishes that I didn’t try previously. Feels like coming home or a Grandmother’s kitchen. I look forward to many returns.

Such a fun experience: the food was thoughtful, creative, delicious! I really appreciate effort made to be allergy friendly (I’m gluten and dairy free) as well as the stories behind each dish. For a table for 2 at noon seating we came by at 10 but our neighbours came at 11:30 and got a spot as well.

So so great I would recommend it to anyone. The owner has a beautiful way of storytelling to explain the dishes. Makes it an authentic and connected experience. The food was great and has great unique flavors. 10/10 would be back

Nice spot for lunch or dinner, no menu so you eat whatever they cook that day. Food was mostly pretty good. The only downside was that each dish was form of taco so after 3 or 4 you’re tired of tortilla. 1,500 for 2 people

It's kinda pricey for the actual food you get but the experience might be worth for some. Food is good and it feels good to be surprised with what's next but you can eat probably just as good in most street stands. This is upscaled Mexican street food and might not be liked by some.
