" Delightful meals at Maíz! You can taste the difference in fresh ingredients, and their tacos are a true representation of what Mexican food is meant to be. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, with staff that genuinely love what they do. I found the prices a bit higher for the portion sizes offered, but overall, I left very satisfied. I’ll be back for sure, especially for those inventive drinks! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place truly exceeded my expectations! The items were made fresh to order, and the level of authenticity was remarkable. I tried the horchata and it was delicious, not overly sweet, just how I like it. My favorite was the quesadilla—it had that amazing rich flavor I was searching for in Mexican food. The provide a pleasant experience even if the seating space is tight. Perfect for grabbing a quick bite as I was wandering around the market! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Maíz and loved the ambiance. The vibrant decorations create a cheerful environment. I had the tamales, and they were packed with flavor. However, I felt that the portion sizes were a little small compared to the price. Still, the food reminded me of my travels in Mexico, especially the fresh corn tortillas they make right in front of you. The staff was generous with their recommendations and genuinely seemed to care about the experience, which I appreciated. " (*Curated Review*)

" Maíz offers a taste of Mexico that you just can't ignore! I had the pleasure of trying their tlacoyos, and I was absolutely impressed by the intricate flavors. The corn tortillas were made right in front of me, which added to the authenticity. Just a forewarning though—the portions might feel small compared to what you might find elsewhere, but the quality is hard to beat. The service was also delightful! Great experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what an experience! I had the chance to try several different items at Maíz, including their tlacoyos and some refreshing agua fresca. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and you could really tell they use high-quality ingredients. Each dish exploded with flavor, and the homemade tortillas were a revelation; I’ve never tasted anything quite like them. I do think it's a bit pricey for what you get, but the quality makes it worth it. The staff was polite and attentive, which always enhances the dining experience. This place is definitely a new favorite! " (*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*)
