Food and drinks were very good. One of the items on our order was missed and came after we were nearly finished dining. We would go again.

I’m not saying I would consider relocating to Cincinnati for the empanadas at Maize, but I’m also not not saying it. As a Canadian, I now know what true heartbreak feels like—knowing these empanadas are a whole country away. Top five foods I’ve ever eaten. If you’re in Cincinnati, do yourself a favour and try them. And if you’re from Ontario like me, prepare for a lifetime of delicious regret.

I give it a 10/10
The food was incredible, the service was exceptionable, and the drinks were so good

The service, atmosphere and dumplings were awesome- 10/10 no complaints. The drinks (while tasty) were expensive and I couldn’t taste any alcohol. The paella was a huge disappointment as it wasn’t cooked like traditional paella that gets crispy when actually cooked in the proper cast iron pot. This dish seemed like rice made regularly with meats/seafood added in later and then it was all added to a cast iron pot for show. Not worth it at that price point.

Amazing vibe! The staff was very helpful with answering questions about the menu. Beautiful decor. I had the Paella Caribena. The rice was a little dry, but the sea food and vegetables were cooked perfectly. My friends had the Pabellon Criollo and Empanadas. They said it was delicious and flavorful. The Sangria was different from what I've usually had, a little sweeter than like, but the cinnamon stick in it was a good mixure of flavor for it. Parking was had to find. Street parking or parking garage nearby. If FC Cincinnati games are home, better go early or get reservations. A must try awesome Venezuelan food.

My friends and I enjoyed the food and our server Haley was great! What tarnished the experience was the owner and his friends smoking cigars by the open windows in the front of the restaurant the entire time we were there (1 hr 30 min), filling the entire front room of the restaurant with a strong smell. I will not return until this issue is resolved.

I was impressed. First Venezuelan related restaurant in USA that I have visited where a reservation was needed. Food was good and the environment was great.

I had a mezcal marg and then had a fantastic piña colada. Finished it off with a glass of Torrontes. I come here and just have a blast; the drinks, the food, the music. Spot on! The ceviche was delicious, served with fresh plantain chips. And then we split the Pollo Asado. Really good drinks, really good food. We had fun! Thank you!
