Flavors and inspiration

The recipes we create at Masa Madre reflect who we are — a blend of our different experiences growing up in Mexico City, the flavors we love, and the recipes passed down from our grandmothers who taught us how to cook.

Some flavors are inspired by our families, others by our travels — but all of them are made with intention, using the highest quality ingredients and artisanal techniques.

We focus on thoughtful sourcing, honoring tradition while creating something new — and always making sure it tastes as good as it looks.
