    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!

    Excuse me Masala y Maiz, I was unfamiliar with your game!…read more So many people recommended this restaurant to me, but I wasn't thrilled about it at all! Mexican and Indian food? Big whoop. Especially since the fusion restaurant near me is mediocre. Boy was I stand corrected? We had a rather later reservation at 2:30pm for lunch. It was the only reservation I could get with the amount of people I had. We were running late, but luckily still made it just in time even with the 15 minute grace period. The ambiance is gray concrete and it just seemed very modern and structure. There was also an upstairs for extra dining room. The bathroom was so neat! The music was a mix of Bollywood with a Mexican twist. Although, there were so much chatter could barely hear it unless in the bathroom. It was kind of an open kitchen layout so could see the food being made, but our table was tucked away in a little corner. Our server asked if he should just pick out the dishes for us and my party agreed. Not only did he manage to pick out the dishes that were top notch, he also explained the history behind each dish. Some surprising shoutouts- Samosas 5/5 - I really thought it would be a basic potato samosa with chutney on the side. We ordered 2 vegetarian samosas and 3 beef samosas. First of all, presentation points! The chutney drizzled on top of the samosa looked so chic. This samosa was probably one of the best samosas I've ever had in my life. And trust me, I've had plenty! Paratha quesadilla 10/5 - I legit wouldn't stop raving about this. This was probably the best dish I had the whole trip. I really did underestimate this place, because whatever paratha they used and cheese, just wow! Along with the salsa and salad. This dish was amazing! The drinks were okay. The Rooh- Afza was not potent enough for our liking. Same with the Chaas Colada. Chai borracha was also okay. Definitely a must go to place!

    Pretty disappointing, inauthentic Mexican spot catering to tourists who are too scared of authentic…read moreMexican cuisine. The food is alright, but massively overpriced and lacking flavour depth. We stopped in for dinner and were greeted by a very friendly, English-speaking server. I ordered the lentil soup (110 pesos) to start -- pretty tasty, but overpriced given what you get. My wife & I also shared the huitlacoche dumplings (150 pesos), which comes with 4 dumplings filled with a sort of corn-like filling and topped with a peanuty sauce -- tasty, but a rip-off for 4 pieces. For our mains, I got the protein bowl (280 pesos) and added some chickpea chorizon (25 pesos). Fairly boring but healthy bowl. Nothing really stood out. The tofu was not plentiful enough, nor prepared all that well. Satisyfing enough, but again, overpriced. My wife got the Enfrijoladas (265 pesos), a dish with pink tortillas filled with plantains, coconut cheese and almonds, all sitting in a black bean sauce. The tastes I had were pretty solid, but lacked flavour depth and needed some spices to amp it up. All in all, not worth the hype, especially if you're looking for authentic vegan Mexican. There are many other places worth prioritizing in town.

    Believe the hype. Outrageously priced but worth it (to me) as this is vegan food you won't find…read moreoutside Mexico City. One note: if charging USA prices you really have to try to reach USA service expectations. 45 minute wait for tacos. I had to go find my own napkins and flatware. Again, the food is worth it but this was the most expensive meal we ate in Mexico.
