" Maíz felt like a hidden treasure in Pike Place! The flavors were genuinely authentic, beautifully preparing me for the dishes I truly enjoy from Mexico. The staff was welcoming and eager to help with menu choices. My only criticism is with portion size; it was a little less than I anticipated for the price tag, which was a tad high. But despite that, I loved the experience and will be returning for another meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience at Maíz! The staff were welcoming, and the food showcased authentic Mexican flavors that were to die for. Their champurrado was rich and satisfying—definitely try it if you visit! I ordered the chilaquiles, and they brought me back to Mexico with every bite. My only slight complaint is the price—while I understand the quality, it can still feel pricey for the size of the portions. Nevertheless, an excellent dining experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t get over how good the tacos were here! I’ve been around to many taco spots, and Maíz undoubtedly stands apart due to its flavor and quality. The fresh tortillas play a huge role in that! However, the space is really small, so don't expect a sit-down dinner when you go. It's more of a grab-and-go vibe. Nevertheless, I left impressed and will certainly come back—especially to try their vegetarian options! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, Maíz is a must-visit! I had the birria tacos, and they blew me away. The flavors were so rich, reminding me of the real street food I had in Mexico. However, the seating is quite limited, making it less ideal for larger groups. On the flip side, the service was attentive and friendly, really adding to the welcoming feel of the place. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a huge fan of Mexican food, I was eager to try Maíz after hearing rave reviews! I got a sampler of their tacos and was absolutely in love! The portion was a bit on the smaller side, but the incredible flavors made up for it. I was especially impressed with the homemade tortillas—they’re worth every puff of energy spent coming here! Even the salsa had a unique freshness that I loved. Staff were welcoming, and it felt cozy inside. I'll definitely come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re a fan of authentic Mexican cuisine, Maíz should be on your radar! I ordered a variety of tacos, and they were absolutely delicious. Each bite was rich in flavor, making it hard to share. The ambiance felt welcoming with friendly staff that clearly take pride in their food. I do wish the portion size was a bit larger relative to the cost, but the quality made up for it. This place is a gem, and I can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Maíz is a delightful find in Pike Place Market! I ordered their tlacoyos and was blown away by the flavor and freshness. The service was friendly and prompt, making my visit even more enjoyable. The only thing to keep in mind is that there’s limited seating, which can be a bit of a hassle especially during peak hours. However, the quality of the food is definitely worth it. Highly recommend for a tasty, authentic Mexican meal! " (*Curated Review*)
