Maíz Restaurante — Restaurant in Baja California

I found this place via yelp and have been trying many places with high ratings, and this place has been my favorite so far. Although the seating is a bit cramped the service here is amazing. That is the first thing I want to touch base on. They were very attentive to our table of four and brought us our drinks (and refills) as soon as we asked, and were very patient while we sat and wondered what to order. The service here trumps most other restaurants I've been to here and back in the states. Very satisfied.

We ordered a couple of appetizers, the fondue, three quesadilla plate, and were given an additional variety of tacos al vapor (bean and cheese, carnitas, and chicharon YUM!) on the house. They were all very delicious. The tacos on the house stood out from the appetizers not that the rest weren't delicious because they definitely were, but those tacos al vapor hit the spot.

If they have it available do yourself a favor and get the Pineapple Orange Agua fresca. I had 4 refills so that should tell you how...

Our server was great and attentive. We never had a dirty dish left on our table. I ate my enchiladas rojas so fast I don't think I took a breath. And my husband had the Bizeteca. The rustic feel with wood tables and benches and mason jars to hold our sodas topped off the...

The high rating gave me high expectations for the food but the food I received was mid at best. The pozole lacked flavor and had a gelatin consistency. The tacos de canasta had zero flavor and were poorly cooked. I won’t be returning and I can’t recommend. Atmosphere was good and the employees were very kind but I wouldn’t come to get delicious food. Also kind of expensive considering it’s TJ and the quality of food...
