The tacos have great flavor and the staff is very kind, especially the women in the kitchen. Will definitely be back!

The food was exactly what I expected with a name like Maize Tacos. I loved the homemade tortillas they reminded me of the Mayan cooking class we took in Mexico. The meat was all good, but the carnitas was moist and amazing. The salsas were all good. The rice was bland. It is a cute little place just a block away from the food court at City Creek Mall. read more

Best Surf & Turf Tacos I've ever had! I go here for lunch every time I'm in town (at least twice). Service is always quick and the place is clean. The only fly in the ointment is that it's generally empty which makes me worried that someday I'll come and they'll be out of business. Go there and eat their amazing tacos-keep this place open-they deserve it!!! read more

These were top 3 tacos I think I've ever had and I'm from San Diego and have been to Mexico. LOVE the homemade corn tortillas! They are small and ~$4 each read more

We live nearby and tried them when they opened. It was not great. A second visit and they were "out of meat" :/ We just ignored them for years. Finally gave them a 3rd try for some basic tacos-and they were great! Went back again and tried the corn quesadilla (giant corn taco), and a bowl. Both were delicious. It's a good fast casual, pastor is yummy, fresh tortillas. They did forget our elote in a cup...hopefully we can get it on our next visit. read more

Maize downtown used to have the best tacos for a good price. Since opening the tacos have reduced in size three times. Went there tonight and could not believe how small they were. Not sure if the same people run the place but the homemade corn tortillas didn't taste as good nor did the carnitas. Won't be going back. read more

Maize Tacos - Carnitas - Food Trucks Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

Maize is one of my favorite places to get quick Mexican food in Salt Lake City. Their menu is really straight forward with lots of good options. The girls working were quick and kind bringing things out to us. We started with the chips, pico, and guac. The chips are a little thick for my personal preference but still good. The guac had a lime flavor to it that I really enjoyed. I got a shrimp burrito. The shrimp is cooked perfectly and it comes with a lot of meat. I also really enjoy their tortilla. My husband got a lobster taco, fish taco, and carne asada taco. My mother in law got carne asada tacos. Both of them really enjoyed them. The tacos come loaded with a really good portion size of meat. The corn tortillas are incred!! They have a soda fountain with a real good Diet Coke brew. They also have a fridge with Mexican Coke and Jarritos. There are lots of tables for both small and also large groups of people. I look forward to going back to maize in the future!! read more

Great place, amazing taste! The lobster taco had us melting in our seats. Loved the flavor of the carne asada with added pico. I got the pastor burrito and loved it. My husband is gluten-free and said their corn tortillas were the best corn tortillas he's had, they were not dry and didn't crumble apart as most do. The staff was able to adjust our order to meet my husband's dietary needs, and came to check on us often. We loved eating here and will come again! read more

Loved it. Quick service. Great tacos. Loved the carnitas and the asada tacos. Only thing I would dock is that the tables were not clean, even when we asked them to be wiped down but we dealt with it. Would come again read more

We were asked for a tip at the counter after ordering, as is the norm nowadays, and we tipped 23%. Husband ordered a burrito with the beans on the side as he's allergic. We waited 25 minutes for our food, and his burrito had beans on it. I told the guy (very nicely, too) about it and he said "sorry" and walked away. No offer to re-do anything. My burrito only had meat in the bottom half. First three bites had only salsa and rice. We chucked it all in the garbage and went to a chicken place across the street. read more

Maize is a great little taco shop! As soon as you walk in, you're engulfed in all things Mexico. I loved the staff. They were so friendly and quick to serve! They also didn't hesitate to make recommendations, which I always appreciate. The tacos were good, but not necessarily the best I've ever had. They were made fresh and tasted as you expect a taco to taste, but I wasn't necessarily wow'd by them either. However, if I'm back in the area and in the mood for tacos, I wouldn't hesitate to give Maize another try. read more

My mom and I stopped by here for lunch before our show at Eccles. We had the fish tacos and Al Pastor. The fish taco was good and flaked nicely. The sauce they add on top has an almost smoky flavor and it's a bit spicy. The flavor wasn't my favorite for the sauce, so I will opt to not have the sauce next time. The Al Pastor was delicious, but the star of the show is the hand made corn tortillas. They were thick and delicious! They offer a variety of sauces at the sauce counter as well as red onions and jalapeños. The amount of food they pack on to a little street taco is pretty insane! We ordered two tacos each, but would have been satisfied with just one each. read more

Found this place on Groupon and so glad we did. We REALLY enjoyed our dinner here. We were the only two there on a Friday night but were so pleased with the freshness and flavor of our tacos. The salsa bar was fully stocked and all full of flavor and amazing spice. The guac was cold and fresh and the street corn was delicious! The only reason this place didn't get 5 stars -- no alcohol and the homemade corn tortillas were under cooked. Overall a cute spot and really friendly, quick service. We would recommend this place for sure! read more

Picked up food from Maize Tacos food truck at SLC Twilight last night and it was just okay. We were compelled to try their best in UT pastor taco. The warm tortilla was nice but the pastor was flavorless. I found myself eating the leftover pineapple pieces than the pastor. After trying these tacos, I would argue that the best al pastor taco I've had is from our local street taco shop in Ogden, Taqueria El Paraiso. The super nachos with pastor were eh as well. Although it was a loaded set of nachos, we didn't care much for the rice or cold shredded cheese. The sauce they put on their nachos was good, but not enough to save the nachos. This meal felt like a filler meal and wasn't super enjoyable to either of us, and for the amount of money we paid for all the food, I'm not sure it was worth it. May try it again another time. read more

With all this variety of taco places, it is hard to find good tacos. I have to say these tacos are good. Would I make the drive to eat from here? No. But if I'm around this place and craving tacos, I will definitely eat here. Their elote is really good, and I recommend getting the actual corn, not the one from the cup. Great customer service and a really clean place. read more

I visited Maize at the Soho Food Truck spot in Holladay and was satisfied with my tacos! Though Maize had run out of asada for the evening, I was happy to try the pollo and al pastor options. The chicken was tender and a solid taco--Maize makes fresh, homemade corn tortillas that elevate the level of all their tacos. The al pastor taco, on the other hand, was incredible, one of the best tacos of its kind I've ever had. The pork was well seasoned, the pineapple juicy, and the cilantro brought everything together in a mouth-watering way. I'll have to go back to try an asada taco and get some more al pastor. read more

Good tacos, but I've had better. The tacos were very greasy to the point that I kept wiping my fingers each time I picked up a taco. To be honest, I'm not quite sure what I ordered. I asked what was recommended and couldn't quite understand the cashier. I just know I got some tacos. The menu was a bit hard to comprehend, contributing to my confusion of what I had ordered. I appreciated the amount of meat I got in the tacos which were surprisingly, really good. I wasn't a fan of the corn shell tortilla though, that was kind of the deal breaker for me as it tasted pretty dry (maybe that's the nature of using corn?). Didn't particularly like the sauces but the rest of the group seemed to enjoy it. Thought it made it more soggy and greasy than it already was. read more

I worked downtown for a year and a half, and my coworkers would go to Maize for lunch all the time. I know I'm setting myself up to be attacked, but I don't love tacos. So I never went with them. And now I am kicking myself. (but not because of tacos) We went to use our Female Foodie card deal, and thankfully they had re-opened dine-in after COVID. I got a chicken burrito, and my boyfriend got an assortment of tacos. We also got chips and guac to share, of course. The lady who helped us at the register was super nice. Our food was ready fairly quickly. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The chips were like a small taste of home for me. I had a hard time stopping, but my burrito was massive, so I had to leave a few bites at the end lest I exploded. We both were super impressed with our food, and we definitely want to come back. I want to try a quesadilla. If you're downtown, do yourself a favor and make time for Maize. I wish I had. read more

I thought this place was okay. Not delicious. Not disgusting. Just okay. (Let's just say, I've had way better.) Personally, I thought the meat was kind of bland, which was really disappointing, considering how good everything smelled. However, it was tender and juicy. (Having said that, my hubby liked his tacos, so that's a plus!) read more

I couldn't skip taco Tuesday, even during this crazy time of being in quarantine and I'm so darn glad that I chose Maize this week. I had heard about it though a friend and had it bookmarked for a few weeks before getting around to actually trying it. I can't say much about the place itself since I did curbside pickup but the service was great! I got two Carne Asada tacos and I was a big fan. There was lots of meat, a generous amount of guac and the tortillas were nice and thick. Some of the reviews mentioned price being a concern but I felt it was reasonably priced for what I got and they've got daily specials that they post frequently if you follow them on social media. This is a fun spot and definitely worth trying out! read more

Food truck review! Found at SoHo. If you're debating on tacos from say, taqueria 27 or Maize, choose MAIZE! We ordered: Loaded nachos with shrimp and steak; So good! Chips were thick and crunchy, steak is seasoned and cooked perfectly, shrimp has a Smokey grilled flavor, no to much cheese (I hate cheese overload), the only room for improvement is a scoop of guacamole would have been nice, and a little more everything. Hefty price for what you get, but delish. Please note: The tortillas are house made, and thick, and so delicious!! My favorite!!! Al pastor tacos; perfectly cooked and seasoned! Delicious! Shrimp tacos; so good! I'm telling you, the grilled smoke flavor is so on point. Only down fall, what there was only like two shrimp in my taco. Boo! Steak tacos; the steak is amazing. They cut it small, so it's not chewy, it's tender and full of flavor. Mahi fish tacos: So dang good! Not dry. Loved them Chicken tacos; these are shredded, and while the flavor was decent, they were a tad dry, but I still like them, my husband not so much. Our first time, and for sure not our last! read more

This place is amazing! The corn tortillas are handmade and each taco was delicious!! Couldn't decide if I liked the chicken or carne asada better!

This places was packed for lunch glad we got a seat. Not the food truck. The new restaurant in downtown salt lake. My favorite tacos were the el pastor and camarone. The el pastor meat is fresh right from the skewer and so flavorful. The pineapple was a nice twist in the el pastor taco. Shrimp tacos were amazing. I probably would not get the pescado (mahi mahi) taco again. Was a bit fishy. Mexican corn was amazing. Loved the hint of lime. First time trying grilled cactus. Pretty good! They have a handful of different hot sauces/sauces available. My favorite was the creamy cilantro garlic. It was delicious drizzled over my beans and rice. Can't wait to come back again. read more

So this was my first time trying these guys out because I've ALWAYS heard so much good things about Maize so I took my partner and I there. We placed a pickup order via their website. It's sad to say that this was first AND last time I will ever be eating her again. Tacos were full of grease, not only that, the tacos that were ordered were made totally wrong, the elote in a cup leaked into my bag. I went to call the store number a few times just to let them know what was wrong but it just kept ringing and ringing and ringing. I was pretty frustrated that I even found a contact us option and gave out my info. I got an email from the owner that same day stating about making this right, and here we are almost 3 weeks later and still have not heard back from the owner. He states that I would get a gift card sent to my email so I could try them out again. So here I am, leaving my review for this place because it looks so promising and great, as a former cook I definitely would not send food out the way it was given to me. Originally I was going to give it a 3-star rating but due to the owner not keeping up to his word, it gets a 2 star read more

I forgot to bring lunch for work today so I went to Maize Food truck and ordered their shrimp burrito. Very nice people working there, too. The burrito was very generous in size. Filled with rice, beans, and shrimp, and flavored with this amazing savory sauce. Dressed with not super hot salsa, this was one of the best burritos I have ever eaten. I'm corrupted. From now on I may have to hide my lunch from home and go to Maize Food Truck whenever I see it. read more

Latina Review Carne asada nachos are delicious with rice, beans, guacamole, pico de Gallo, cheese, and special sauce. The rice is 10/10 it gives the nachos so much flavor. Delicious! The Al Pastor Tacos are good but can be better. Don't get me wrong though they're tortillas are unbeatable Shrimp Burrito (not pictured because it's that good) my goodness do not skip out on this one! That burrito is jam packed with so many natural flavors. 100% recommend! The decor is simple and gorgeous. The tile is true to Mexican roots and the pictures on the wall remind me of my childhood playing Lotería! You need to go here! read more

Not sure if this is 3 or 4. I will lay out the case and you decide. Place is clean, staff is friendly. 4 stars: taco taste and construction. Nicely fully filled, got carne asada, el pastor, and grilled shrimp. well flavored, and the tortillas were made on the spot. 2 stars: taco cost, $4.50 apiece? for a street taco? YGBKM? they are really filled with quality ingredients, and are nice, but they charge 3 times what a street taco cost. quesadilla: 3 stars for taste, 2 stars for concept. the tortilla was tasty and the meat was delicious. No cheese. WHAT? might have been a little bit, but what this is really is a gigantic taco, and its priced accordingly. i wanted CHEESE, that's why i ordered a quesadilla. Not sure what to make of this place, clearly an upscale taco joint, and its tasty. It very well could be this is not about them but me. Mismatched expectations from a $$ standpoint. Mismatched from what the food should be. read more

Walk here to get pick up for home. Ordered a fish taco and a chicken taco. Both tacos tasted good. I also got the loaded nachos which I was expecting to be hot but these were cold. The ingredients on the nachos were lettuce pico de gallo rice chips and a meat of your choice. This would taste much better heated up. read more

A delicious menu! A bright and open dining area! You order at the register and they bring your food to you. Our party of 6 tried a lot of different things and liked them all. A favorite was the quesadilla with carne asada which was large enough to share like an appetizer. Try it- yummy! The menu on the wall helpfully explains what each type of meat is. I ordered three different tacos because I couldn't decide! My favorites in order were the Tinga De Pollo (I was the only one in my group who went with chicken but after stealing tastes they wished they'd ordered it too!), Al Pastor (diced pineapple on top- perfect!), and the Carnitas. Give 'em a try if you're in the area. And if you're not in the area, go to the area just so you can give them a try!! read more

Ordered some tacos for togo for our picnic in the park and the food did not disappoint. We will definitely be coming back here next time we drive up north to Salt Lake City. Customer service: 5/5 The girl taking my order was so patient and kind with me. My order was semi complicated. We got 8 carne asada tacos with no guac. 1 al pastor taco. 1 carne asada burrito with no beans, cheese, guac, and crema. 1 elote on the stick. Food: 5/5 The tacos were fresh and made with the best ingredients. Our tortillas was filled to the brim with meat that the meat was falling out from being overfilled. Definitely a good problem to have. read more

This upscaled taco joint was surprisingly delightful! With delicious eats and prestigious neighboring restaurants, like "Pretty Bird", this place is one to try out. The restaurant is sequestered literally between City Creek mall and Gallivan Center. The ambiance was decent and clean but nothing exciting. However, the food was a polar opposite. We ordered a pork quesadilla and two carne asada tacos (which were recommended as a fan favorite). Both entrees were incredibly scrumptious! I would suggest ordering 3 tacos to be fulfilling. It was a little peculiar that the restaurant was forlorn on a weekend night, despite Pretty Birds popular crowd. But I believe I know why. Tacos and $$ does not make people happy. With that being said, give this place a try and you'll be glad you did. Even if it is a one time thing. read more
