American rapper Kanye West’s visit to a taco restaurant in Mexico City sparked curiosity about the prices and dining experience offered by this place specializing in native corn
Kanye West’s presence in Mexico City not only drew attention for his concerts at the Monumental Plaza de Toros, but also for his culinary choice: he was seen eating at Maizajo, a contemporary taco bar located in the Condesa neighborhood that stands out for reinterpreting traditional Mexican cuisine with ingredients such as Creole corn and artisanal techniques.
What is ‘Maizajo’?
Maizajo is a restaurant with gastronomic proposals that go beyond the traditional taqueria. Its menu includes specialties such as duck barbecue tacos, quelites mole, zarandeado fish, wedding tamale, and octopus in smoked chili mojo, among other dishes made with high-quality ingredients. It also offers drinks such as aguas frescas, craft beers, and a selection of wines that complement the experience.
This place has stood out on social networks and media for its attention to corn as a culinary base and for elevating the taco-eating experience to a more sophisticated level, which explains the interest when an international figure like Kanye West visits it.
How much does it cost to eat at ‘Maizajo’?
Eating at Maizajo isn’t as cheap as at a street taqueria, but many diners find the experience worth it. The approximate prices they handle are adjusted to the type of dishes and drinks chosen:
- Individual tacos from around 60 pesos each.
- Average expenditure per person: between 300 and 400 Mexican pesos if a combination of tacos and drinks such as water, beer, or soft drinks is included.
- More elaborate dishes or specialty drinks can raise the total cost of food.
This range allows you to customize the visit according to the budget, although due to its contemporary proposal and quality of ingredients, it is above the cost of a typical traditional taco meal.
Do you want to visit ‘Maizajo’?
Due to its popularity, the restaurant is usually in high demand, which can generate queues, especially during weekends. It is recommended to visit during the week if you want to avoid long waits.
The style of the place combines artisanal techniques with traditional Mexican ingredients, making it ideal for those looking for a different culinary experience within the gastronomic offer of Mexico City.
