"Puerto Vallarta isn’t known for heirloom masa-centric menus, but that is slowly changing thanks to restaurants like Milpa Fonda Bistro, located in the El Pitillal neighborhood about 20 minutes from El Centro. Expect gorditas de chicharrón, cappuccinos made with pinole (toasted corn), multicolor quesadillas made with two or more types of heirloom corn, sweet corn cheesecakes, and more seasonal dishes that recognize corn’s role as the foundation of Mexican gastronomy." - Paola Briseño-González
