About maíz

Maíz is a charming restaurant known for its authentic Mexican cuisine, lively atmosphere, and friendly service. The fresh corn tortillas, tlacoyos, tamales, and corn-heavy dishes like tamales and esquites are highlights, with expertly prepared ingredients and generous portions that delight customers. The corn tortillas are freshly made in house, adding to the authentic flavor. The esquites are especially popular and considered a life-changing dish by some visitors. The restaurant offers gluten-free options, with most food free of gluten except for pastries in the counter bin. Despite high prices, the fresh masa makes every dish delicious, especially the corn-based ones. Customers often recommend trying the al pastor and Carnitas tacos, which are flavorful and satisfying. The place has a cozy vibe, especially when it’s chilly, with some guests suggesting a fireplace could make it even better. Visitors also enjoy the friendly staff and sometimes visit for quick bites or to escape the busy street outside. The restaurant’s unique drinks, like the iced horchata latte made with horchata and espresso, receive high praise for their quality and flavor. Overall, Maíz is a must-visit for those seeking authentic Mexican flavors and a warm, welcoming environment.
