" This is a genuine oasis for Mexican cuisine lovers! I had the pleasure of dining here last week, and I was blown away by the flavors. The ceviche was out of this world! The fish was so fresh, and the marination was just right. I also tried the enchiladas with green sauce – pure bliss! Our server was very attentive without being intrusive, which added to the pleasant atmosphere. You could truly tell they care about their customers’ experiences here. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Flor De Maiz and was left quite impressed. The portions were reasonable, and the flavors were outstanding. I ended my meal with dessert, and the churros were a delicious way to finish. The staff went out of their way to ensure we were taken care of and even made great recommendations. While the food was reasonable in price, the quality and service definitely made it worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Flor De Maiz felt like a mini-vacation! The view of the beach paired with delicious food made for a lovely evening. I had the grilled octopus as an appetizer which was out of this world – smoky and tender! For my main dish, I opted for the mole enchiladas, and they didn’t disappoint! The staff were lovely, always checking in to ensure we had everything we needed. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Flor De Maiz was delightful! The unique dishes were well prepared and plated beautifully. I had the chicken mole for my main course and it was rich and satisfying without being overwhelming. The ambiance is casual yet stylish, perfect for a laid-back dinner with friends. The only reason I didn’t give it top marks was the slight wait time for food to arrive. Nonetheless, I would return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here during a family visit and was told it was a great spot. While the service was friendly and quick, I found the food a bit underwhelming for a Mexican restaurant. The tacos were decent but lacked that homemade feel that you would expect. I appreciate the effort in ambiance but overall I don't think I would return given how many other amazing places are in Santa Barbara. " (*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*)
