" Had dinner with friends here last weekend, and while I enjoyed it, I don’t think it lived up to the hype. My food was good—especially the guacamole—but my friends felt their meals were a bit on the salty side. The service was friendly, but it took a long time for our food to arrive, which was frustrating. The atmosphere was lively, and I appreciated the decor, but with so many other options in town, I’m not sure if I’ll be rushing back. A good option, but not my favorite. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Maize was beyond my expectations! The moment we walked in, the vibrant decor and warm ambiance set the stage for an enjoyable meal. Every dish we ordered was brimming with authentic Mexican flavors. The handmade corn tortillas truly made a difference, enhancing the taste of the tacos we had. We especially loved the beef birria tacos and the mega tlacoyo, both incredibly fresh and flavorful. Our server was friendly and attentive, making sure our needs were met throughout our visit. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Maize after hearing so much praise, and let me tell you—it did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with such warmth and smiles from the staff. I ordered the fajitas, and the presentation was lovely. The tortillas were fresh and soft, just the way I love them. My friends were just as happy with their meals, particularly the enchiladas. It felt like such a treat, and I loved that everything tasted homemade. Plus, the margaritas were fantastic; they paired perfectly with our meals. For anyone who appreciates authentic Mexican cuisine, Maize should definitely be on your list. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Maize. Although the food was tasty, particularly the enchiladas and the chips with guacamole, the service felt a bit lacking. We waited quite a while for our drinks, and our server seemed overwhelmed despite the restaurant not being too busy. The food quality was authentic and fresh, which was a big plus, but my dining experience could have been elevated with swifter service. I’ll probably give it another try, as a friend recommended it highly, but I hope the service improves next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Maize for the first time last week, and I am thrilled to say I will be returning soon! The flavor profiles of their dishes are unique and held true to authentic Mexican cuisine. I especially loved the taco trio; the flavors were beautifully balanced. The environment was light and lively, which made for a perfect dinner date night. Highly recommend for anyone looking for food that tastes like it came straight from Mexico! " (*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*)
