" Flor De Maiz provides an exquisite selection of authentic Mexican cuisine. My visit was a feast for the senses! I ordered the octopus tacos, and it was sensational! The flavors packed a punch, and you could taste the freshness in every bite. The cocktails were just as impressive; I tried the hibiscus margarita, and it was one of the best I’ve had. Although it was busy, the servers maintained a cheerful demeanor. Can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Flor De Maiz was a pleasant surprise! My friend and I decided to try it spur of the moment, and we were not disappointed. The ambiance is lively and fun. I ordered the shrimp tacos, and while they were tasty, they could've used a bit more seasoning. My friend had the steak, which was perfectly cooked to her liking. Our server was lovely, very attentive throughout our meal. I think the wait time was a bit long for the food to arrive, but it was worth it for the delicious flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, this place blew me away! The authenticity of the food here is remarkable. I tried the mole negro, which was reminiscent of the traditional recipes my grandmother used to make. Each bite was rich and complex. My friends ordered the seafood dishes, and they could not stop raving about the freshness. The margaritas were delicious, and you can even see them being prepared at your table. Just an overall fantastic dining experience. I wish I lived closer so I could come more often! " (*Curated Review*)

" Flor De Maiz has truly become one of my favorite dining spots! The atmosphere is lively, filled with colors and warmth. I tried the enchiladas with green sauce, and they were divine. The distinct flavors reflect authentic Mexican cuisine. The only disappointment was a wait for food that was a little longer than usual, but it was worth every minute once I took the first bite. " (*Curated Review*)

" When looking for a place to grab dinner, we stumbled upon Flor De Maiz, and it was a happy accident! The environment is filled with lively decor and warm tones. Our server was incredibly welcoming and recommended several dishes. We chose the rib eye steak and couldn't have been more satisfied! The meat was cooked exactly as requested. Although the wait was longer than what I would like, the food made up for it. I’d definitely recommend it to friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was hands down the best Mexican dining experience I've had in Santa Barbara! The seafood tacos were to die for! The ingredients tasted so fresh, and you can easily tell that they care about quality. Our server was also friendly and gave great recommendations. I would recommend Flor De Maiz to anyone looking for authentic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Flor De Maiz is a gem! The dishes here remind me of my travels through Mexico. We ordered a variety of plates for the table and I was enamored by the freshness and the depth of flavors in every dish. The octopus was particularly noteworthy, and I can say it was cooked to perfection. Drinks were tasty too but quite heavy-handed. Definitely a place I’d bring visitors to showcase authentic Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)
