" I'm usually skeptical about new Mexican restaurants, but Madre Maiz has exceeded my expectations! The birria tacos were juicy and flavorful, and the blue corn tortillas were expertly made. The ambience is casual yet charming, making it a perfect spot to unwind after a long day. The service was quick and friendly, so we were in and out in no time! Definitely coming back to try the mushroom torta next time. " (*Curated Review*)
