    Very tasty food and friendly staff! Not a lot of choices on the menu but the food was flavorful. Much noisier this time than than I remembered from a couple years ago. Lots of families with small children. It was a happy atmosphere.

    Our first time at Maiz Molina, and it is now a favorite! From the minute we walked in we were warmly greeted by two fabulous women who explained the menu items, gave great attention to my food allergies, and served us the most delicious authentic and creative entrees. I had the tongue tacos -outstanding!! My husband had the short rib dinner entree. AND the best tortillas I've ever had in my life. 5 ++ rating. We can't wait to go back and try the entire menu options. Extraordinary staff.

    Staff and service was excellent. Paid extra attention to note about celebrating my Mom's birthday. She really enjoyed her chilaquiles and mimosa. I ordered the pork belly Benedict but did not enjoy them as I'd hoped because the chipotle hollandaise was unexpectedly sweet. Not sure if they were made incorrectly or if there is a sweetener added, but if so then it should be listed in the ingredients. Had I known they were sweet and not spicy I would have ordered something else, but I ate them to not waste food. I'm sure staff would have been accommodating however ultimately this felt like a failing of whomever created or wrote the menu
