Maíz is the word for corn in Spanish which is the backbone of the Mexican food scene. Maíz Mexican Food is a food and beverage concept that celebrates and integrates a wide range of corn preparations that most Mexican restaurants aren’t offering at the moment. Our menu draws on the bold and fresh flavours of Mexico, our traditions and culture to bring you a unique dining experience.

This place is amazing . Wonderful service from Carlos and his team. You must try the esquites - a delightful pop of flavour of corn, cheese, chilli in amazing broth. Try the corn lager on tap- crisp, fresh.

Maiz has very authentic modern Mexican food that is delicious and beautifully presented. The set menu is excellent value and the modern twists on Margueritas are yummy and fun.

Food was great, servers were nice but very slow. It took us over half an hour to ask for our last drink and we waited 20 minutes to try to order our last drinks but the server said our time had just ended. It wouldn’t have if it didn’t take so long to get a serves attention. There were 3 servers who stayed inside most of the time and it felt like they were just trying to ignore everyone on the bottomless drinks section to not serve them. The servers were friendly when they came over. It was just disappointing how long it took to get their attention and order drinks. Bar tender was super nice and helpful with drink recommendations.

The food was delicious, service was superb, just a little dissapoint about the ambience as it was a very small place, so everything looks congested , apart from that everything was great.
