    Rack of Lamb topped with a delicious semi spicy mole sauce served with chorizo scalloped potatoes. MUST TRY!!
    Ivee M.

    Delicious food, great ambiance, and unexpected, thoughtfully prepared flavors! I'm looking forward to coming back... it feels like the perfect spot to bring friends. A hidden gem with excellent service and wonderful vibes.

    This was our first time here. Service was courteous. We ordered garlic shrimp, and chipotle bbq, baby back ribs. The foos was good, but I felt that shrimp portion was too small (6 medium shrimp) I was told the bbq ribs would be served with potatoes au gratin and it was a bed of french fries. If you like spicy, thick bbq these ribs are for you. The drink Oaxaca Antigua was really good. The decor is nice, the noise is moderate. Is wheelchair accesible and family friendly. They have outdoor seating. Moderate noise. Outdoor seating available and wheelchair accessible.

    My friend and I came to Maíz Cocina. SCARLETtook care of us and gave us the best recommendations. The food was delicious, and the service was even better. She is very attentive and very sweet--we loved it! We will definitely be back.

    Scarlett and para dos

    Amazing food, great service. Scarlett is fantastic, would strongly recommend the para dos, Que Rico!! I would ask for Scarlett again and again

    Blackberry tequila + Flan

    Seriously so good. Staff is so kind, margaritas are dangerously tasty and the food is always delicious. Can never decide what to get because it's all so good, so I usually go with the taste of Maiz special and split with a friend. Grilled romaine salad & their flan also so good. I have a gluten allergy and staff was knowledgeable / very accommodating. A little lacking in ambience but with food & margs that good, who cares.

    First make sure to call ahead to see if it is busy because wow it was super slammed when we stopped and I can see why from the amazing food to staff. Please it was around 6:30 so prime time on Taco Tuesday. Firstly, my husband and I got done moving from OC to Corona and were starving!!! However, we had no idea where to go. This shopping mall in general is a catch. We found this on Yelp. Secondly, we were just drop ins. We got sat right away and you could tell the staff were passionate about what they were doing! They were super sorry about wait time for food but honestly the food is worth it. Juan is attentive, efficient, a pretty amazing multitasker as well as the whole kitchen and staff!! Thirdly, OMG the foooooooddd!!! Hands down the best food my husband and I have had in a long time. It was super fresssshhhhh and not what we were expecting (as in you tasted every ingredient). You do not get that fresh of food in Orange County and it is worth the drive just for that but luckily it is right down the street now ;). Please note the prices are higher but it is worth it for the food and customer service. For ambiance it was a little loud but a very beautiful restaurant. Only loud because everyone wants to eat there rightfully so on a Tuesday night during prime time!!!! P.s. if you don't try it then that is on you! More for us!

    Crab and shrimp enchiladas with Arugula, avocado, red onions & sour cream. And a side of white rice. 2 thumbs up.
    Yvette V.

    Food - Delightful- I had the crab and shrimp enchiladas with a side of white rice. Creamy Jalapeño soup - amazing delicious. Service - Servers were extremely attentive, welcoming. Great experience. Ambiance - Warm and cozy. With traditional Mexican decor. Highly recommended..

    Ya gotta try the Carnitas.

    I had my grand opening of my real estate brokerage here in July of 2023. We had a good time. The owner built out this patio especially for my up and coming event. We had around 40 guest and we all fit on the patio. The food was buffet style. All tables had chips and dip. The music was playing load and nobody wanted to leave when it was all coming to an end.

    This place has both pros and cons. When walking into a taco shop located inside of a liquor store,…read moreyou know what you getting yourself into. First, depending on the day and time of the week, the ambiance inside might be very hectic with very long lines because a lot of construction workers come here during their lunch break to buy snacks etc. Second, because this is primarily a liquor store, you may run into characters inside that you may not normally meet at another taco shop. Parking is also very hard to get since there are only about 3 to 4 spots available in front of the location. If you do not get a parking spot up front, the shopping center also offers parking in the back. Food wise, I would only come here for either burritos or the tacos. They do have other items on the menu, but in my opinion, they are not worth the price. The burritos, are packed with meat and other ingredients, making it worth the almost $10 price point. Customer service is a gamble. Sometimes the staff is in a good mood and sometimes they are not. It definitely helps if you can speak Spanish. Also, be ready to wait some time for your food if there are many other orders ahead of you. They typically only have one or two people working in the kitchen preparing the food.

I had been interested in trying their…read morefood for a while so I approached the food truck full of excitement (the truck is pretty and pink btw). I love the idea behind the self-love bucket: it comes with a small amount of fries and three pieces of vegan fried chicken, and it looks tantalizing. However, there are a few issues. First and foremost, the bucket only comes with one dipping sauce, more sauce costs extra money. If you plan to use the sauce for both the fries and "chicken", one small container of sauce is simply not enough. However, this wouldn't be a problem if the bucket didn't cost a whopping $18. I know that vegan food is expensive and the concept of "vegan fried chicken" probably bumps the price up, but come on! The contents of the bucket are surely not worth the price, ESPECIALLY because the food was simply not good. Okay the fries were good (I mean it's hard to make bad-tasting fries). But as for the fried chicken, I would not, nor would anyone that I ate with, recommend it. They had an odd texture and were completely flavorless. And no, it's not impossible to make vegan fried chicken taste good because I have had amazing vegan fried chicken in the past, Eat Love simply missed the mark. I hope you guys attempt to improve the recipe in the future!
