About Maximo

Maximo is a cozy restaurant with a great patio that remains cool and airy, offering an inviting atmosphere. The service is quick and attentive, ensuring that every guest feels welcome. The food is delicious, featuring highlights such as the snapper special, power bowl, and taco plate with interchangeable tacos. Recent reviews have praised the Molotes de Suadero as an amazing appetizer and the blue fin tostada for its perfect spicy taste from the chili crisp. Although the sides are on the smaller side, they are tasty, with the fresh fruit and tomatillo chimichurri receiving special mentions. While the ribs may not be fall-off-the-bone tender, they are still perfect for carnivores. The chips & guac are a great start, and the cocktails are generous and impressive, with the Maxi Tini being particularly noted for its pickle brine.

The Al pastor and barbacoa tacos are larger than usual, made with quality tortillas that many consider to be the best in the city. The lentils serve as a delicious substitute for refried beans. Maximo's atmosphere is casual and cool, enhanced by great music and a beautiful patio. Parking can be a challenge, but it’s worth the short walk to experience the relaxed vibe and lively energy that keep visitors returning. Guests enjoy interesting twists on traditional Mexican cuisine, and the staff, especially Brianna and Adrian, contribute to the overall positive experience. Diners have noted that every dish is full of flavor and thoughtfully prepared, making Maximo one of the best dining experiences in Houston.
