Hijos del Maiz — Restaurant in Midland

Best Breakfast & Atmosphere in Town!

I saw someone post about having dinner here on Facebook, looked it up, and was excited to see they offer breakfast—especially since not many places are open on Sundays. We arrived at 9:00 AM and were greeted and seated right away in a cozy booth across from the bar. It was the perfect spot to take in the beautiful, colorful atmosphere of the entire dining room.

This may sound strange, but the temperature in the restaurant was just right! I’m usually freezing in restaurants, but I was completely comfortable here—which made a big difference in the experience.

There are big screens playing a great mix of Latino and American music videos, and the sound is nicely balanced throughout the space. It creates a fun and vibrant vibe, but you can still easily have a conversation at your table without yelling. So refreshing!

We started with coffee, which was smooth with no bitterness. The breakfast menu is HUGE, and I was honestly overwhelmed—in a good way. I ended up going with the classic American Breakfast: eggs, fluffy pancakes with real butter, crispy bacon (so good), a slice of ham, and hash browns. It was a ton of food—delicious and satisfying. My husband helped finish off my hash browns and ham, and I still had pancakes left over.

The service was a little slow, but I didn’t mind one bit. The atmosphere is so relaxing and comfortable that I enjoyed just sipping my coffee and soaking it all in. Honestly, compared to places like IHOP—which feel noisy and bland—this restaurant is warm, inviting, and a true pleasure to dine in.

I can’t wait to come back and try lunch or dinner next time (especially the salsa bar!). Yes, it’s a bit on the pricey side, but the quality and portion sizes make it worth every penny. Breakfast hours are Monday–Saturday from 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM, and Sunday from 9:00...

DO NOT GO TO HERE TO EAT!! FROM THE STAFF TO THE MANAGER THEY ARE UNPROFESSIONAL! We came from out of town to eat with our family before we left back home and had a HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE.

First off, it took them about 45 mins to bring our food out and our food was cold. Next, the took an extra 10 mins to bring out my sons chorizo/egg breakfast burrito & it was bacon & egg. The waitress had an attitude taking our orders and never came back to refill our drinks. The tortillas we asked for never calmer either.

We asked to speak to the manager AFTER we paid (we weren’t looking for a discount) and he told us to wait because he was busy??? Which is strange bc it was not busy. Once he finally came to speak to us his workers were sitting there recording the interaction with their phone. Nobody was yelling, screaming or being disrespectful. There was no reason for anybody to be recording bc someone wanted to speak to the manager.

The manager didn’t apologize once & told us he didn’t know what to tell us? Food comes out late it’s a restaurant…

I would NEVER return & NEVER recommend. No reason to be spending money with people who don’t care about you or your experience.

0/10 WORST restaurant...

Ill start with the food, It was good, but not great. My asada meat had very little flavor. My son's Sopa with chicken had almost no Sopa, all shredded chicken, they also never mentioned that it was a bit spicy and my kid doesn't eat spicy, pretty crappy for being on the kids menu. I was so excited for their HOMEMADE TORTILLAS until they brought them out. I was disgusted, NEVER in my life had I ever seen HOMEMADE corn tortillas turn into TOSTADAS in a matter of minutes. I asked my waitress for an order of FLOUR TORTILLAS and told her the corn tortillas were hard, and her answer was " WELL THE FLOUR TORTILLAS ARE GOING TO BE THE SAME, HARD TOO BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT MADE WITH OIL" like what!?? So i said just forget it. I didn't eat my food and instead brought my food home to eat, my asada plate and my sons soup. We get home and my sons soup with chicken is all bubbly and it smells sour!!! It went bad just in the time we left their place and go home! This means it was already bad!! NEVER AGAIN, WILL WE STEP FOOT IN THAT PLACE AGAIN, NASTY FOOD,...
