Stopped by as part of the LORD of the PIES quest to find the #BestPizzaRI. Unfortunately, this visit missed the mark. Our waitress mentioned we’d be the last customers in because they were closing soon — which honestly, I wish she’d just said they were closing and we could’ve come back another night. We felt rushed from the start.
I ordered the tinga chicken pizza — it was okay, but nothing special. The constant reminders that they were about to close didn’t exactly help the experience. My partner and I had each ordered a pizza, but only mine arrived. After a while, he checked on his and was told it was still coming, only for someone else to later say the oven was faulty and they couldn’t make it. They offered a burrito instead. It really felt like they’d just forgotten his order — and if that was the case, I wish they’d been upfront about it right away.

Our second stop on our Saturday Taco crawl took us to Maiz, the Wayland Square location.The shop was decked out for the Halloween season. Inside the place reminds you of a Mexican cantina. Brightly colored flags adorning the ceiling contrasted the sand colored wall.
Our server was very nice, letting us know what our options were for the fight. I chose to upgrade mine to pastor tacos as they are my favorite type. My friends got a Birria taco, a shrimp taco and the carnitas taco.
It didn't take long before our food arrived. Fresh and hot, we quickly dived in. The pastor was flavorful, a slight char taste that made the whole thing sing a symphony for my taste buds. The shrimp taco was particularly good as well. The shrimp was succulent and the addition of the pineapple took it to the next level. The Birria meat was tender and juicy. The carnitas was a solid choice as well. Their homemade hot sauce, mild or spicy, on the side. All washed down with ice cold Mexican coke.
Another taco spot in the books as a place to return. We only live 9 minutes away so it's a sure thing for us!

We had read some reviews and wanted to try this since it is close to home and we like supporting our community. It was early on a Friday, 5:30pm and not busy. we ordered fish burritos. After a while the server came back and said they were out of fish. We decided on something else and we were happy with the food, nothing special. I finished my food and my partner was still eating when the server came and took the plates. They came right away with the check without asking if we wanted another drink or dessert. It also didn’t have AC and it was hot inside. Probably not going back.

Friendly staff but generally clueless. Drinks came way after the food. And the food was just bad. Friday night and there were 7 total customers. Dead inside. And the AC didn’t work.

Delighted to have a good Mexican restaurant in the neighborhood. The rice and beans that came with my pork enchiladas were good, not an afterthought, and the mole sauce was exceptional.

The menu is limited. While Tacos are tasty (not amazing) they are super expensive. We spent $100 for 4 tacos, 2 margaritas, 1 kids pizza and chips and salsa. This is the most expensive taco dinner I have ever had. Overall ambience was nice and the service was below average. I am giving 2 stars for the overall review b/c the place is incredible expensive for a taco place.
They also added 3% kitchens appreciation fee and when asked that the server said that it was some kind of tax and he didn’t know what it was. The server was a bit clueless and checked out. I will not be coming back here.
