"This Oaxacan cafe and restaurant in Williamsburg and has a solid corn masa program. “Their menu includes an array of corn dishes—tacos, tamales, tlayudas, sopes,” says Golip. They source their heirloom corn, coffee, and chocolate directly from local producers in Mexico, helping to promote these products and preserving endangered corn varieties. “I love the chilaquiles in salsa roja, the mushroom empanadas, and the sopes,” says Golip. “On Sundays, they also make carnitas Michoacán style—always a hit. The chocolate conchas are great with coffee, and every time I go, I try to buy some fresh masa to go.”" - Ugonna Ora Owoh
