This bakery is huge! I decided to stop by on my last day to pick up some sweets for my son and my…read morecoworkers. They have four sections: bakery, cookies, cakes, and gelatins. You select what you want, pay, and then pick up your order. Their cookie selection is immense, and they sell them by the pound. I ordered two boxes at half a pound each. The cookies are delicious (think Whole Foods cookies, but better). For sweet bread, I only chose six pieces since they don't travel well on a plane, but wow... the quality was outstanding and the variety is incredible. Service is quick and cordial. The place itself is an old bakery with amazing lighting and original floors from the 1930s. If you're in CDMX, this is a must stop.

You're supposed to grab a tray and tongs then take what you want to the cashier. The place was so large that I didn't bother grabbing a tray because I just wanted to look at everything first. I ended up getting a corn muffin my friends grabbed a few things they didn't really know what they were, just grabbed what looked good. My corn muffin was ok., it was moist, dense, and had real pieces of corn in it. I tried some of my friend's raspberry baguette it was also pretty good. Dense baguette and tasty dried raspberry's and some nuts maybe walnuts? My other friend got some bread thing with sugar on top. It was a bit dry and not very buttery. I didn't care for that one. There was a whole gambit of baked goods to choose from, donuts, bread, cakes, pastries, even sandwiches. We tried asking what they were known for, no one seemed to know. So I guess there's no specialty. Prices were very reasonable around 15-22 pesos maybe some were more depending on what you chose. I found it to be a good Mexican bakery but not as refined as a French bakery. I guess you gotta find what's good and what you like. Unfortunately I didn't find that item yet.

The service here was outstanding. Our waiter was very helpful in giving recommendations and very…read morefriendly. All our food was also quite tasty. We started with samosas and then had a shrimp dish, mussels, and a chicken dish. The shrimp was my favorite. A unique flavor. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the accompying sauce was rich and flavorful. Ambiance was nice but the music was a bit too loud at times. Overall an excellent restaurant. Glad we were able to come here during our visit of CDMX.

I had high expectations for Masala y Maíz, especially because I love both Indian and Mexican…read morecuisines! We'd made a reservation in advance and were seated right away when we arrived on a Friday afternoon. The space itself was surprisingly plain and industrial - grey walls, almost no decor. For a place with a menu with so much personality, I was surprised that the interior had almost none. For drinks, I ordered a glass of natural white wine, which was very good. The 3 of us ordered a bunch of items to share family-style, starting with the Samosas, Paratha Quesadilla, Ceviche, and Camarones Pa'pelar. These were by far the most impressive items of the night! The texture of the Samosas was absolutely perfect, and it was hard to decide if the beef or potato ones were more delicious. The Paratha Quesadilla was such satisfying comfort food and the Ceviche was incredibly fresh and tasty. The Camarones Pa'pelar were super flavorful and the dipping sauce truly blew my mind. However after this, things went a little downhill for me. The Kuku Poussin was tasty but not as innovative as the appetizer dishes. And unfortunately I just wasn't a fan of the Whole Red Snapper. We also tried two desserts - the Tamal de Chocolate and Chai Tres Leches - but neither one blew me away. The concept of a Chai Tres Leches sounded so good but although the texture was nice, I felt like it was missing some sweetness. Overall though, we still enjoyed our meal and highly recommend trying the small plates!
