A Return to Indigenous Mexican Cooking in New York City
"Kuxé, a restaurant in Greenwich Village opened by chef Julian Medina, focuses on honoring Indigenous recipes by using pre-Hispanic ingredients like corn, moles, chiles, and nopales. The restaurant prepares Indigenous ingredients in familiar ways to help guests understand them better, making masa for tortillas and other dishes using a traditional molino and nixtamalization. Kuxé's menu highlights village cooking and recipes from the team members, showcasing the depth of Indigenous Mexican cuisine." - Marisel Salazar
