" Crazy for their corn tortillas! The handmade tortillas make a huge difference when it comes to how each dish hits your taste buds. It’s a solid authentic Mexican restaurant, and I think their entrees reflect a lot of heart and care. The ambiance makes it easy to hang out with friends for a chill evening. We got some churros for dessert, which took a bit longer to come out, but they were worth it. Delicious all around, highly recommend checking it out if you haven't! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious! I had the birria tacos, and they were some of the best I’ve had outside of Mexico! The flavor was spot on, and they truly nailed the authenticity. Plus, the handmade tortillas were a big hit with my taste buds. The service was quick, and the atmosphere gave off a trendy vibe that made me excited about my meal. My only complaint was the price; it felt a bit high for a casual spot. But honestly, the quality of food made it worth it. I would totally recommend it to anyone craving some real Mexican flavor! " (*Curated Review*)

" Took my family here last night and we were all impressed! The food was fresh and flavorful; we tried a bit of everything. The huevos rancheros were particularly memorable! All the dishes had a homemade feel to them. Our server was really friendly and accommodating, which further enriched the dining experience. While it was a bit noisy at dinner time, it added to the lively ambiance. We will definitely be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, Maize at the Station is a busy little spot! We arrived on a Saturday night and had a bit of a wait, but it was well worth it. The atmosphere was lively, filled with laughter and wonderful smells. The food was delicious; I had the chorizo burrito and it was packed with flavor. My partner had the steak chalupas, which were incredibly filling without feeling greasy. While the service was friendly, I noticed our waitress was a little rushed, probably due to the crowd. Still, everything was very much enjoyable, and I would happily return despite the wait. Recommended for anyone who appreciates genuine Mexican flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Maize was fantastic! I loved the flavors in every bite of my food. The attention to detail, especially with their tortillas and the sauces made a great impression. I ordered the Mega Tlacoyo—definitely lives up to the hype! My only minor issue was that it was quite busy, making it a bit noisy (which I understand comes with good reviews). The service was fair, given how busy they were. Overall, it was excellent and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night's dinner at Maize was delightful! The enchiladas I had were so comforting and filled with flavor. The use of house-made tortillas is evident and truly makes a difference! The friendly staff made our experience even better. The ambiance was lively, and it became quite loud as the evening progressed, but it was perfect for a night out. I cannot recommend the churros enough for dessert—they were the perfect ending to a great meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Out of all the places I've tried in town, Maize is the one that truly stands out! The handmade tortillas feel like they bring the whole meal together. I couldn't get enough of the Mega Tlacoyo. The melted cheese and the grilled veggies were a match made in heaven. I visited during the happy hour and took advantage of their chips and salsa flight, which was such a fun way to start the meal! The atmosphere was vibrant with a slight upscale feel which I appreciated. I'll be back soon for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
