Great service. Great drinks. GREAT TACOS. Even BETTER PRICE! Glushyn approves!!!! Our server was fantastic and surprisingly, the avocado taco was one of the best tacos I've ever had. I used to think A2 surpassed Ypsi in every measure when it comes to food, but MAIZ single handed proved Ypsi has the best tacos. Highly recommend!!!

I have mixed feelings about my experience here. It definitely is an up and happening establishment. But it’s not “authentic” Mexican by any means. I’d say it’s more authentic than fast food taco places but is not authentic. The food, as typical of Mexican food, was messy, and I was slightly disappointed that we had no napkins. I had shredded chicken tacos and they were so juicy they were dripping everywhere and I had no napkins, I asked for some (clearly my hands and everything was a mess) and my server came back over 10 mins later with 3 napkins. So yeah that got to me a little. There’s also definitely a cross contamination problem here because I specifically chose a meal that had no onions in it yet there were onions and black beans all throughout my tacos (black beans were not an intended ingredient in my meal either). The main courses were good. The Queso Bandido wasn’t my favorite, it wasn’t thoroughly heated. Also I ordered a side of corn and it was frozen when I received it. Like straight from the freezer or at least fridge. It’s sad because the main courses were good but there were flaws and it was soooo expensive for us to have a mediocre experience.

Adorning the walls are vibrant murals, creating a visually appealing atmosphere. With an emphasis on fresh ingredients and a pleasant ambiance, this spot distinguishes itself as a notable choice for Mexican cuisine in town. Its consistent busyness attests to its popularity. On a Sunday evening, my friends and I gathered to unwind and enjoy each other's company. Our decision to dine there was influenced by my previous experience, even though some items, including cocktails, were unavailable that day. The chips and salsa served as starters were delightful, with just the right level of spices--a perfect beginning to our meal. The cocktails were good. The fajita, while satisfactory, lacked the sizzling heat they typically serve. Opting for Pollo Milanese, it didn't quite match up to my previous experience. Our server was attentive, consistently checking if we needed anything. The food was decent, and the taste was good. The restaurant's outdoor tables, accompanied by a charming light setup, would be a delightful experience in the summer. However, during our visit, the area was completely covered in snow. Overall, it was a positive experience, complemented by convenient parking at the rear.

Four years ago, the review below rang true. We’ve gotten to MAIZ a few times each year, and it’s always been great. Since that time four years ago, I’ve developed several allergies and have really restricted dietary needs. I started ordering the plain cheese quesadilla when we’d go to MAIZ, which would be creamy and crispy all at the same time, one of my favorite places to get a quesadilla. We stopped by tonight for dinner, and MAIZ was packed. We chose to wait the hour it took for a table. I ordered the usual plain cheese quesadilla. Something felt off. Tucked inside was shrimp - maybe not a big deal for most but it is when you’re allergic to it. I set it to the side of the table and told my husband to go ahead and eat. As stated, the place was busy. It was going to be a bit before the waitress was back. Before the waitress did get back, someone came by and grabbed the plate without saying a word, snatched it up and turned away as quickly as he had shown up. The waitress came not long after and said it had been a mix up. I do understand mix ups but mentioned it could have been worse if I had gotten to eating the shrimp. A new quesadilla arrived and was sat down without a word again. I picked up a wedge and the cheese slithered out, a greasy, clumpy bit of cheese that was not at all like I’ve had before. The tortilla was slimey, the cheese was a large knot, and it just sort of filled out a less than ideal dining experience. We might go back and try again, just to ensure that this was a one off, but we will not be back when the place is packed and people swipe plates without even acknowledging a mix up. The less than ideal meal that followed confirmed the disappointment. One of the best Mexican restaurants we've been to. Quality, fresh ingredients, fantastic service, great environment. Highly recommended. Food: 2
Great vibes at this large location. The meat itself seemed a bit tough and dry at times, but their tacos and burritos tasted great overall. Not too badly priced either. Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
