Some of the best food in Maine. Everything is made from scratch and…they grow their own corn! Highly recommend.

We visited this restaurant to celebrate a colleague’s birthday and were excited to treat her to lunch. We arrived just before opening at 11:59 AM and were among the first in line, which we took as a good sign. Our party of three placed our order promptly, and my colleague and I received our meals about 20 minutes later. However, the birthday guest’s order was delayed significantly, despite reassurances from the staff that it was on its way.
Out of courtesy, we waited to eat until her meal arrived, but during that time, we noticed several other tables—who had ordered after us and had larger groups—receiving their food in full. After an additional 15 minutes, her dish finally came out.
To be fair, the food was delicious and well-prepared, and the space was clean, though a bit cramped with limited seating. Unfortunately, the inconsistent pacing of service took away from the overall experience, especially considering we spent nearly $100 including tip. While I appreciate the quality of the food, I hope the team can improve order timing to ensure all guests feel equally valued.

Maitake mushroom arepa is incredible. They have vegan cheese to sub in anything!

Lovely arepas- good vegan options. We had a delicious meal here. Nothing fancy - plain canteen, lovely staff, just good food. Lovely juices as well and good value. Great for a gluten free diet - my coeliac daughter ate here with no issues.

Super fresh arepas. Chorizo and cheese totally amazing. Tasty, great use of pickled/sour/spicy flavors in the salsas. (Don’t worry - not super hot). Passion fruit juice was great, too.

Stumbled upon this restaurant while traveling in the Portland area and looking for some gluten-free food as I have celiac. People rated it highly not only for being gluten free, but having amazing food. Everything is made to order and from scratch. I absolutely love all of the arepas and if I have room to spare I like to get some some of the plantains with melted cheese on top. Can be busy at times, but the kitchen is very organized and smoothly goes through even the longest lines. I make it a point to go here every summer when we're in the area.

This place is amazing! I have both gluten and dairy restrictions and this place is perfect for someone like me. Whether eating an arepa or a rice bowl or both, there's always something available for me to eat. Lots of options and I always leave feeling satisfied!
All around great, very friendly service and the food was incredible
Thank you! Will be back soon!

After a long drive, we stopped at Maiz for their gluten-free cuisine, and it was amazing! The cheesy bread, empanadas, and arepas were all fantastic. Plus, the owner, Martha, is awesome! Highly recommend!

I don’t want to sound mean, but the mushroom arepa I had was flavorless. Prior to this, I had not yet experienced a flavorless arepa. And for $20. Nice ambiance though?
