" El Maiz is amazing! Delicious guacamole just like I remember from my travels in Mexico. The service was top-notch, and the environment was perfect for a relaxed family night. We had a range of dishes—quesadillas, burritos, and tacos. My only complaint might be that the burrito was a bit too large for my liking, but it’s a great value for money! Overall, I can't wait to return and explore more of the menu! Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Maiz has earned a special place in my heart! Visiting with friends, we shared an assortment of dishes, including the quesabirria and chicken fajitas. Each bite was bursting with flavor, and what’s even better, they have fantastic homemade tortillas that elevate every meal. The ambiance is casual yet warm, making it an ideal spot for gatherings. The service was quick and friendly, plus we were astonished at the pricing considering the quality offered. Great for a fun night out or a casual lunch. This is our new favorite spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon El Maiz while passing through town and was pleasantly surprised! The food was delicious, but what really stood out was the service. They were all so kind and welcoming, which made the experience much more enjoyable. I ordered a shrimp taco and some sopes, and both were tasty. However, I felt the flavor could have been amped up a bit more. The atmosphere was nice for a casual outing, but I think they need to work on the noise levels during busy times. Overall, I would recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Maiz has totally won me over! The homemade tortillas deserve a special mention—absolutely divine! My only issue was with the wait time, which was a bit longer than expected on a busy evening. However, once we were served, it was clear that the food was worth the wait. A great place to gather with friends and experience Mexican culture through its cuisine. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was super impressed with El Maiz! Not only was the food exceptional, but I felt an air of authenticity upon entering. The staff treated everyone like family, and I loved the variety of salsas available. I tried their chorizo plate, and it was incredibly flavorful. That said, the dessert menu could use some expansion. Overall, my new favorite Mexican restaurant in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Maiz deserves all the recognition! The food was on point—authentic and very flavorful! Our server was attentive and went out of their way to accommodate our requests. My only regret was not ordering more food, as I left wanting to try everything on the menu! The environment is inviting and vibrant; I appreciated that it didn’t feel rushed. This restaurant has definitely secured a place in my rotation! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at El Maiz was nothing short of excellent! From the crisp guacamole to the flavorful shrimp tacos, every dish was impeccable. I appreciated how fresh and vibrant the ingredients tasted, giving me a true taste of Mexico. The service staff, all smiles, made sure our drinks were never empty and our plates were served hot. The only downside I noticed was that on a busy evening it tended to get a bit noisy, but honestly, that just added to the lively atmosphere! Definitely a restaurant I plan to revisit.
