This colorful counter-serve eatery transforms heirloom corn from Mexico into fresh tortillas through the ancient process of nixtamalization, soaking kernels overnight before grinding them into dough 12 hours later. Each tortilla is hand-shaped and filled with creative ingredients like duck confit and roasted cauliflower. For Rico and Mardanbigi, this is more than just food—it’s a tribute to sacred Mesoamerican techniques. Pair your meal with a freshly made agua fresca, and don’t skip the seasonal, sprinkle-covered paleta.
