Expendio de Maíz, alternatively known as Expendio de Maíz Sin Nombre, is a Mexican restaurant in Mexico City. It was founded in 2018 by the chef Jesús Salas Tornés in Colonia Roma, in the Cuauhtémoc borough.
The restaurant offers a casual, communal dining experience centered on Mexican street food and maize-based dishes. With no set menu, no reservations, no servers, and cash-only payments, guests are seated at one of four shared tables. In the open kitchen, cooks prepare surprise dishes tailored to each diner's preferences and dietary needs, checking in to offer more food until patrons are satisfied.
In 2024, Expendio de Maíz received a Bib Gourmand distinction in the first Michelin Guide covering restaurants in Mexico. The following year, it was awarded its first Michelin star.
