I dont know if our experience was a fluke or if Puerto Rican food is just this dull. Im…read morerecommending it anyway because I've heard such good things from others. Our experience went good at the start. This is (at least from what we saw) a counter service restaurant. You order at the counter, pay, and take a seat. I do not remember the names of what we ordered but my husband had a kebab dish and I had a plantain dish. The music in the background was nice and went well with the theme. Everything was clean and the food did smell really good. At the time we were the only two in the dining area although a few others showed up later. The disappointing part for us was the food. The food looked great, but then...nothing. Very bland with very little flavor. Maybe this is normal? It smelled and looked so good that it was very surprising that it had such a bland flavor. Id still give it another try just because of all the great reviews

We didn't expect to find good Puerto Rican food in Portland, but I'm so glad we found this local gem! Reservations are recommended; they were still packed during the off season. We were lucky enough to snag two seats at the bar during dinner time without a wait. The bartender is super friendly and gave us some excellent food recommendations. We ordered the beef empanadas, pernil, and pollo guisado. Everything was DELICIOUS. The beef empanada filling is hard to beat - this might be one of the best ones I've had yet. We both really enjoyed the pernil & pollo guisado, but the soup was probably my favorite. I'm a soup gal, and this was just a hearty and excellent bowl of soup. Pernil portions were very generous. Definitely a highlight of our trip!

I Gotta say it smelled soo good. Just like my mommas kitchen. The atmosphere was incredible, it was upscale yet cozy. The food was really good too.. The empanadas were very tasty and in also ordered tacos and corn fritters that were delicious as well. Only thing i didnt like is that their rice had an insane amount of olives for the serving size. I counted 18 olives in a small serving. I mean I dont mind olives but not that much. I ordered rice with guandules and I feel I got rice with olives. I honestly had a very good experience here and would definately come back if im ever in the area again.

I can't say no to an arepa spot, and I was wonderfully surprised to learned via my meal at Maiz…read morethat Columbian and Venezuelan arepas differ in texture. Columbian arepas are thinner and crispier...yet both are extraordinary vehicles for fillings. Speaking of fillings, mine was *stuffed* with cheese, beans, and diced plantains, making for a filling meal. Lastly, the sauces you get to pick with your arepa round out for needed freshness. I tried both the sweet red and cilantro, and they complemented my arepa well. Though this was my first time trying Columbian arepas, I hope it won't be my last. I was thrilled with my experience at Maiz and wish them many more years of serving Portland.
