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.

    We have an excellent dinner at Maiz. The margaritas were really good, all the dishes were authentic and tasted delicious. The standout dish was the pulpo, it was so tender and the dish had great flavour combinations. The dessert was the only dish we didn't rave about, it tasted like a granola bar with some strawberries and yogurt. Maybe it was an off night! maybe we didn't choose well? It wouldn't stop me from returning though. The customer service was great, and all in all, a lovely evening at reasonable prices.

    Amazing delicious unique Mexican food. Highly recommend this place for dinner, and although it is not a cheap feed, you will not be disappointed! Only drawback is that it was a bit noisy bit this didn't diminish the quality of our dining experience.

    The food was really tasty but we felt a little rushed through our dinner with the wait staff moving on to the next course quite quickly, sometimes while we were still eating our previous course. She was very nice though and otherwise did a good job. Looking forward to trying it out again soon

    Yes, it is possible for a restaurant to go from strength to strength. Every time we go, it gets better! The new entree (tomatoes) was sublime. The hibiscus & mescal drink delicious. Ice blocks the perfect end to a perfect meal! Thank you again, Maiz!

    Average food. Service was terrible. Staff lingering around the bar like it was their private club. Couldn’t get anyone’s attention to ask for the bill. Terrible. Won’t be going back.

    Si quieren probar comida mexicana autentica, este es el sitio. Soy mexicana viviendo en Sydney y puedo decir que los sabores son como los de Mexico. Muy buena carta y servicio, tanto los chicos que atienden como Juan Carlos quien me parece es el manager. Nosotros pedimos un mezcal por supuesto que tienen verdaderos mexcales artesanales, agua de jamaica, el taco al pastor, a tostada de calllo de hacha, el aguachile de pescado y el volcan de pulpo. Todo para compartir y todo delicioso. Al postre ya no llegamos pero seguro volveremos a probar todo lo que nos falta de la carta. Super recomendado!

    I have been to Maiz which I had good experience . However this visit was embarrassingly bad. We requested to sit in the booth and asked the guy if we can move, he quoted “no, that’s absolutely not possible” is a very rude way. It was embarrassing to have my guests dealt with that as he just left us. We then asked another lady and she was lovely as she explained why we weren’t able to move, understood. Food came and everything, no one checked back on our food, unsure if SOS has changed. But felt as if we weren’t welcomed.
