How Gentrification Continues to Change Mexico City—and What Comes Next | Condé Nast Traveler

"I note that since opening in 2018 Masala y Maiz—named one of TIME’s Top 100 Greatest Places—has aimed to bridge worlds by presenting a fusion of East African, Mexican, and Indian dishes that highlights the Global South; chef-owners Saqib Keval and Norma Listman center the restaurant on cultural sustainability, community, fair wages, and workers' rights, they acknowledge benefiting from tourism while also being affected by the city’s changes, and Listman stresses “this isn’t new,” arguing that gentrification predated recent foreign arrivals and that the protests reflect frustration at being priced out of the city." - Alan Chazaro
