This unmarked, reservation-only spot in a crumbling Centro building is one of the most singular dining experiences in the city — a set menu of ancient corn preparations cooked over wood fire by a family collective. There is no sign, no printed menu, and no phone; reservations are made via Instagram DM. It's not for everyone, but for those who seek it out, it's a profound encounter with pre-Hispanic Mexican foodways.
