We were greeted immediately and proceeded to the bar to place a to-go order. We ordered 3 chicken tamales, 3 beef tacos and plantains. The food was ready in about 15 min and it was packaged well and hot. Unfortunately, once we unpacked the food at home, we realized we received the wrong order. What should have been beef tacos were actually chicken taquitos. They were ok. The tamales were fresh but lacked sufficient meat so I it felt like I was just eating breading thus, I didn't finish them. They also needed more seasoning. I have had better Mexican food elsewhere. In contrast, the plantains were excellent! Overall, the 3 stars is for the freshness not the flavor (with the plantains as the exception).

Well, I LOVE coming here on Sundays when they have freshly made carnitas, yep, cooked in pork lard how they're supposed to. I also love their Sunday lamb barbacoa with consomé (like an au jus from cooking the lamb). Pair it with all the fixin's. Guacamole salsa, pico and red salsa for a kick. Chopped onions, lime and cilantro. The chilaquiles are amazing too! (Also pictured)

My husband and I had dinner at Maximón a few nights ago. I'd wanted to check it out for a while,…read morebut I'm almost never in Harbor East. Maximón is the Atlas Group's Mexican/South American restaurant in the Four Seasons Building (between Azumi and Loch Bar), and it's as beautiful as you'd expect of an Atlas restaurant: high ceilings, leafy plants, pottery, gorgeous bar, great light... With Latin music playing, it fault like a beautiful and relaxing space for a Mexican meal. (They consider themselves a Mexican and South American restaurant. Other than a couple of dishes, like a more Peruvian take on a ceviche, the menu and decor read almost entirely Mexican-inspired to me). We started with a few drinks. A spicy mezcalita for him; a fruity, smoky Sotol-based cocktail for me. It's rare that we stick with a drink if ordering a second round. I almost always want to try something else or switch to wine with the meal. But both of us ordered the same for our second round - the drinks were good. Our food was less successful overall. We started with their yellowtail ceviche (with sweet potato, corn, cilantro, red onion, radish, fresno chile, and leche de tigre - the ceviche that leaved very Peruvian), which was good, but the fish was surprisingly fishy (it might have improved the dish to marinate the fish - it was more like a crudo than a ceviche as it was served, since the fish just sat on top of the leche de tigre). But it was a pretty good dish. Next up was their chile relleno appetizer (roasted poblano pepper, fresh pomegranate seeds, mozzarella, queso chihuahua, and avocado puree). This dish was pretty good (although - am I crazy or did they use a wonton wrapper rather than a flour dredge for the fried relleno?!). The relleno was simple and the cheese had a great cheese pull. The avocado puree was acidic enough to be a good accompaniment to the fried component of the dish. Next, we had two tacos. (FYI their tacos are one per order and pretty wildly expensive. The cheapest is their al pastor at $10/taco, and the most expensive is their Angus ribeye for $22/taco). We ordered one al pastor (duroc pork, pineapple, avocado salsa cruda), and one pulpo zarandeado (chile-spiced octopus, cabbage al escabeche, and salsa borracha). The filling of both tacos was pretty good, but - and this has never happened to me before - one tortilla didn't even make it one minute at our table. I picked the taco up and the tortilla just gave out - it was soggy and fell apart. I've never seen this happen with tortillas made in house and fresh. I suspect that the filling sat on the tortilla for a while before they served it (which is weird, because the food came very fast and all at once). We showed our waiter, who immediately brought us two additional tortillas so we could transfer the filling. These tortillas - when fresh and not having sat out with filling on them - were excellent. (Their menu says they source their heirloom corn for their tortillas from Oaxaca, and the flavor and texture of these replacement tacos were great.) We also ordered a side of black bean risotto (with caramelized manchego cheese), which had great flavor but very overcooked rice. Then, we shared a dessert, too - their pastel de chocolate (which they now serve with fruit to break up the rich chocolate). The dessert was okay - I wish it had much more of the guava puree, because that was so bright and delicious, but you couldn't taste it against the strong, rich flavor of the chocolate. (I also had a shot of great tequila with the dessert - their bar program really wowed me.) I absolutely have to give a shoutout to our waiter David. He was great. I started this review at three stars - the food was just inconsistent and didn't wow me - but as I was writing this paragraph on service, I knew I had to raise it to four stars. On the food alone, I might have given Maximón three stars, but at the same meal, we experienced five star service. David was friendly and helpful and was hands out the best part of our experience at Maximón. Ultimately, the food was a little underwhelming to me, but I would absolutely return to Maximón based on the quality of the drinks and that great service. Maximón has a Harbor-facing patio, which in warmer months, looks like a dream. I'd absolutely come back, request David as our waiter, and drink cocktails on the patio all evening!

Think converted row home, but only the first floor. Still, it packs a punch, in a good way. Let's call it cozy. We had a reservation, so we were seated right away. We started with cocktails. I ordered an espresso martini and my partner ordered El Fresco. They were both tasty. I've had better espresso martinis, but it was still good. My second drink was a beer. The draft machines were down, but the beer was still good. My partner ordered the strip steak that came with fries and salad. It wasn't your average salad. It was delicious. The fries had garlic & parsley. The were delicious as well. And she absolutely loved the steak. So much so that she kept trying to save some for the next day. It was a delicious meal!
