Taqueria El Maiz #2 — Restaurant in Forney

For a forney taco spot this place is a little above average in terms of flavor of the carne asada and al pastor. The al pastor burrito was good. I added onion n cilantro. That was a good call. We also had the fajitas. That was ok. Needed onion cilantro and limes. The hot sauces were typical. Creamy red n green. A salsa verde and rojo. The rojo tasted like pace picante sauce. That was a turn off. In terms of atmosphere it was typical sterile, metal furnishings. Service was great. They even gave us some meat to sample before i ordered. Nice. The prices for everything was pretty expensive considering the other local taco shops. Ah the churro. It was one of the best tasting but also one of the smallest ive ever had. Should make it 5 dollars and twice the length. It was so good that it bumped up the food stars...

Coming from the West Coast I get really skeptical of Mexican restaurants in Texas. We’re Blacxican from the West coast and taught by our brown family. It’s not like the west coast here; there we’re down for each other. Anyway, If you’re in the Forney area and you are looking for an amazingly good authentic and homemade, no Tex-Mex just all Mex; Mexican food this is really the restaurant to go to, to get that. The food was amazing. The atmosphere is gorgeous. The customer service is nice and honestly, I cannot say that about all restaurants with Hispanic culture for someone like me who is Black. This food was amazing. The customer service was great and I’m definitely going back next time it won’t be a little sample. It’s gonna be...

El Maiz was a delightful surprise. I wasn't expecting much, but I was completely wrong! It is superior to many of the "Tex-Mex" and "authentic" Mexican restaurants in the Forney area.

I had the Enchiladas Rojas - they were moist, not dry, with the perfect amount of onion and cheese, dipped in that tasty guajillo sauce. The side of rice was also fresh — not dry or chewy. I also tried the Sope, which was seasoned perfectly and wonderfully tender and savory.

I highly recommend Taqueria El Maiz. These guys are a hidden gem and are about to make a name for...
