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.

Dietary restrictions: Many gluten free options!

Beyond 5 stars

I give it a 10/10

The food was incredible, the service was exceptionable, and the drinks were so good

I was there last Saturday with a friend for the first time and I was blown away I can’t wait to go back

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.
