I'm honored to be the first to review Del Maiz Bistro here on Yelp! I was looking to try a new place and am glad I stumbled upon this one! Since I ordered delivery via UberEats, I can't speak on the ambiance. However, service was great, as they were quick to accept my order and packed it up nicely.
I ordered:
-tequeños- cheese sticks (5) for $6.48. The price was less expensive than another restaurant I was looking at that only gave 3 for $6.50, and even less than a restaurant I often order from that charges $3.99 for just 1!
-Arepa $9.98. It's your choice of protein (pulled beef/carne mechada, grilled beef/carne asada, pulled chicken/pollo mechado, grilled chicken/pollo asado, sweet beef/lomo negro), veggies (lettuce/lechuga, tomato/tomate, pico de gallo-chopped tomatoes, onions, and cilantro), cheese (white cheese/queso de mano, grated white cheese/queso blanco rollado, grated yellow cheese/queso amarillo rallado), and sauces/salsas (tartar/tatara, ketchup, mayor mustard, cheddar, corn, bacon, pink/salsa rosada, spicy picante). You also select whether you want your arepa grilled/asada or fried/frita.
***I selected a grilled arepa with pulled chicken, lettuce, queso de mano, salsa rosada and spicy picante. While my arepa had the correct chicken and sauces, I received a fried arepa instead with grated white cheese and pico de gallo. Not sure if they made some substitutions because they were out of the ingredients I ordered or if the changes were made by error. Next time, I'd suggest notifying the customer and discussing options which is why I sadly docked off a star, but I'm still happy with my meal over all. Luckily, I like pico, all cheeses, and fried arepas too.
Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The chicken was juicy. The sauces were great. The tequeños were addictive. The tastes were incredible. The prices were fair. I'm excited to try the empanadas and cachapas next, and am looking forward to introducing my boyfriend to this place. He's Venezuelan and I'm sure he will love it too. read more
