Maizajo, KiwiFav of the Week

Maizajo is one of the few places dedicated to producing masa, tortillas, tostadas, totopos, pinole, corn flour and Mexican snacks with heirloom corn. Additionally, it preserves techniques inherited from our ancestors, without which Mexican cuisine would not be the same. This is undoubtedly the best way to pay homage to the rich culinary tradition of Mexico. Although it may seem like a common tortilla shop, Maizajo is much more than that, as this space is also dedicated to research, production and marketing of heirloom corn products. To top it off, it isa place that has taken on the responsibility of preserving the ancient technique of nixtamalization with quicklime, which has allowed us to enjoy dishes made from corn for hundreds of years.   On the other hand, this space located in Mexico City is concerned about the small producersof corn, who receive fair treatment and a fair price in exchange for their products. It is worth noting that Maizajo buys heirloom corn directly from producers and not through intermediaries.  The talented entrepreneurs behind this incredible project focused on corn are Santiago Muñoz Moctezuma, Daniela Moreno Aragón, and the famous chef Gerardo Vázquez Lugo, who leads Nicos.   If you want to try the most delicious and fresh tortillas in the city, do not hesitate to visit Maizajo at Av. Soledad 556, El Jaguey. Azcapotzalco. CDMX. Although you can also buy all their products through their online store. These delicious tortillas will be the ideal complement for all your recipes, as you can prepare tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas, and many more things.
