The food is great, the ambiance is amazing and the feel for the texture of the food is awesome. Try the mole. You won't regret it.

Food and service were outstanding. Unfortunately on a Thursday night there was a DJ playing music so loud it was impossible to enjoy a conversation. I mean bass so loud it was distorting. If I was in a club..yes, in a restaurant… no.

Amazing food
We got the steak tacos and chicken tacos (off menu) and they were both very impressive. Tortillas were perfect and the flavors/sauces were bursting with flavor.
The service was fairly slow, hoping it was just an unusual evening for them.
Great place to sit outside and enjoy the sunset off the beach.

Flor de Maiz is a beautiful spot with an upscale, eclectic twist on Mexican cuisine--definitely not your standard fare. We came with a party of 10, and across the board, everyone loved their food. The only hiccup: dishes didn't all come out together, and my husband's entrée lagged more than 10 minutes after the rest of the table.

Highlights:
* Empanada - Perfectly done and flavorful.
* Tortilla Soup - Loved the tableside pour-over of the broth; rich and full of flavor.
* Ceviche - Generous portion and well-balanced acidity. A touch heavy on the pineapple, but otherwise delicious.
* Risotto (Seafood & Steak/Mushroom) - Both were great, but the seafood option edged out as the favorite.
* Shrimp Tacos - A must-try!
* Lamb & New York Strip - Both cooked beautifully and full of flavor.

Skip:
* Side of Baby Carrots - Served plain and steamed with no seasoning or sauce--definitely underwhelming compared to everything else.

Overall, a gorgeous venue with creative dishes and great flavors. Just hope the timing in the kitchen improves because the food itself is worth coming back for. And service was spotty

1st time here and would definitely come here again. The food is very well made and delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive. There is indoor seating on 2 levels,plus outdoor seating as well. Parking is on the street, and paid public parking across the street. Good views as well. Definitely worth a try!!!
