Maiz

Homemade tortillas, the best

Average Rating

Maiz just reopened with music and dancing on weekends. The same wonderful food is here with a few additions including a hot fruit punch for the winter. The food is plentiful and inexpensive. My favorite,the $7 Alhambra Cazuela is a bowl with protein of your choice and vegetables accompanied by the incredible tortillas, two kinds of salsa, pineapple, and cilantro....

Really delicious authentic mexican. Everything on the menu kind of tastes similar though. AMAZING home made tortillas.

Cold winter's night, hot pozoles! We visited Maiz on an overnight trip to Chicago and would go back in a flash. Great margaritas, a different and most interesting selection of Mexican cuisine, plenty of veggie and fish items--my prerequisite!

This inexpensive and homey place has some of the best Mexican food in the city. Unlike most corn kitchens they aren't just making tacos and tostadas with too much fat. Their specialty is little dishes, any of which you are likely to enjoy. Be sure to get the guacamole with fresh pomegranite seeds for a real treat.

Humboldt Parkers looking for a “change from your average taqueria” head for this cantina specializing in “inexpensive, homey” Mexican fare with a focus on “fascinating” corn-based “little dishes, any of which you are likely to enjoy” in the space decked out in pastel colors and terra-cotta; P.S. “be sure to get the [signature] guacamole.”

A charming storefront with a wonderful view paves the way for delicious Mexican food. Start your meal with a huge margarita and a few antojitos (snacks) perfect for sharing. Move on to quesadillas with huitlacoche, tacos, huaraches, fajitas, tortas, and more. Recommended item: the Banana leaf tamale. -

Maiz might be a tiny restaurant, but the owners have big ideas, and the food has big taste! Carlos and Margaret Reyna's cozy little Mexican restaurant is based on the idea of "pre-Hispanic cuisine." The staples of this diet, and of the restaurant's menu, are maize (corn), beans, chilies, and zucchini.
