The 20 Best New Restaurants of 2025 | Bon Appétit

"At Komal’s counter inside Mercado La Paloma I watched Fátima Juárez nixtamalize and blend multiple masa varieties to create marbled tetelas and other masa-based wonders—she offers delicate, masa-forward dishes like ayocote-bean–filled sheaths that spotlight nuanced corn flavors and textures, elevating what might be a simple lunch into a revelatory lesson in corn." - ByThe Bon Appétit Staff
