Maiz is in the heart of Tijuana. It is not huge, it is adorable with cute things on the walls and wonderful seats. The place is clean and comfortable. We loved everything about it. The prices are really fair and you will get a great meal there. The service is so nice and welcoming. Don't worry if you don't speak Spanish, they will help you and sometimes they have English and Spanish speak servers. They know the menu well and will get your order pretty fast and always right. If you want a mild sauce, they will do that. If you want something painfully hot, they can do that as well. The salsas are just great and they have a super selection. I hear their coffee is great, but I am a coward and don't drink anything made with tap water. But that is just me. All of their food is great and you will be happy with whatever you order. We love their Chilaquiles with Cecina and eggs.

Quesadilla
Lucian L.

Came here on a quick trip to Tijuana and was in need of an authentic shop with delicious food. The server and workers were very friendly and accommodating as well so I appreciate that. Quesadilla 5/5 - I'll have to say that this was a very delicious dish. I could tell the tortilla was handmade and that they used high quality ingredients especially in the cheese as well. It came with options to add red salsa topping which was spicy and a green one which was less spicy. It also came with pickled onions as well to add it on top since it's only the tortilla, cheese, and meat. The sizing is pretty big and I got full off of one, so also keep that in mind. This place also had a variety of what it seems like local cuisine. I saw other people who ordered soups like Pazole and it looked really good so I'll have to come back and try that out next time. Would definitely recommend!

Chilaquiles Rojos Con Cecina y Huevos
Everardo G.

Food was amazing, flavorful, salsas were on point, coffee de olla to top it off. Recommend this location 100% when visiting Tijuana Mexico. Ordered: Chilaquiles with Cecina and Huevos and Coffee De Olla

Menu

Location is small but do not let that stop you from going in. The employees are so friendly and welcoming. Food tastes homemade. Menu has a good selection. I did learn that not everything on the menu is available all day so just make sure you ask before wanting to order the gorditas. Pancakes had such an amazing flavor to them. Steak was well cooked. Chilaquiles sauce had good flavor and wasn't spicy. Plates are definitely a good size. Would definitely recommend!

Bro just say less and come here for some great breakfast. Everything is good. The owner is modeling for this own food on the Menu. Super nice staff and great hole in the wall food spot.

Cada vez que cruzo la frontera, me aseguro de desayunar aquí. La comida y el servicio me hacen sentir como si estuviera cenando en casa de un familiar. Recomiendo este lugar a los amigos que visite Tijuana. Every time I cross the border, I make sure to have breakfast here. The food and service make me feel like I'm dining at a family member's home. I recommend this place to friends visiting Tijuana.

Quesadilla

Been here numerous times. Always good and cheap. I need more characters. Ok that's enough. 9/10

Cazuela

First of all, awesome service. The owners are very friendly and attentive, they made us feel welcomed. The vibe of this place reminds us like eating at home or at our friend's house, very comfortable. The food was very very delicious. 10000/10. Everything was of great quality. The red sauce is spicy and delicious. We ordered: - quesadilla de huiclacoche - campeones (pancake, bacon, ham, egg, chilaquiles) - cazuela - desayuno de la jefa Definitely recommend everything. By the way, the hot chocolate is Oaxacan very good.

Enchiladas Enmoladas
Jorge A.

Excellent service and food was very delicious. We tried the Guacamole and chips. Enchiladas Enmoladas and Chipotle cream sauce. Both had an excellent flavor to them. Highly recommended.

Quesadilla de Huitlacoche
Diana G.

This little corner place is exquisite! I google restaurants nearby and came across this place when staying at the Gran Hotel Tijuana; trust me you won't go wrong or be disappointed! The service is amazing! The owner is amiable, cordial, and nice! The place is very small yet very comforting; made me feel like I was at my mom's kitchen. The food is AWESOME! It's like homemade! I loved the quesadillas de huitlacoche with chicharron rojo. My daughter had the eggs and steak plate, my partner had the pozole, which he loved. I had the Cazuelita, which I really want to go back and have again. The twins had a pancake that was rich and buttery! Yummy! Everything was great! You must visit MAziZ when in Tijuana! Highly recommend it!

I had someone call from our hotel and we got right in and there was a line outside. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is all great. Their breakfast goes from American eggs and bacon with the best potatoes to wonderful burrito type breakfast items. Their menudo is great and they have great Mexican meats as well. Lunch and dinner is about the same. They make Mexican style fish and steak that is just perfect every time. All of their Mexican dishes are just wonderful. You can't go wrong. They even have bottled water--never drink the water there, just don't. They have the best rice and beans. The service is great. They make you feel right at home and even if you don't speak Spanish, most speak English and you will figure it out because they will help you. The prices are fair for what you get. At dinner I consider it fine dining. It is all good and you will be happy. The place is also clean and super comfortable.

It has an old spanish mission look on the outside and walking in, you can immediately recognize that it is an impressive and popular place. The decor here is something to write home about. Beautiful wall fixtures, and well crafted local pottery and other artifacts, all around, everywhere. There is ample seating, that is well spaced out. Perfectly pitched Mexican music permeates the atmosphere. There is attentive staff that is so courteous, and welcoming. I wanted to eat lite, and I wanted to eat Mexican, so I chose the Yucatán Tamales. It comes as one pork and one chicken, both slim, wide rectangles, each baked in a banana leaf. They both had their subtle and distinct flavors. Comes with refried beans. The complementary salsas, the rojo and verde, were fresh and tasty. Service was outstanding. Another memorable restaurant in Tijuana, that needs to be filed into the "excellent" and "must go" folders.

The churros were nice nothing to crazy on flavor but presentation wise if fun and attention seeking so plus plus if you usually order fajitas and like the eyes on you. The jicama taco is pretty interesting fresh and taste great not a usual thing but good. Our server Gerardo Rodriguez was awesome the whole time he made sure we have everything we need and still check on us the entire visit

Pero eso si, el mesero exigiendo la propina, hablé con el gerente y me dijo que tratan de evitar eso, pero la verdad yo no vi que trataran de evitarlo, al contrario, está de sobra decir que no regresaremos.

You will be happy here. They have some of the best Italian pastas I have ever had. We love their PENNE A LA ARRABIATA and their FETUCCINNI CARBONARA. You might think you are in Italy.

The rest was mixed: * Penne Arrabbiata had decent flavor but was a bit dry. * Salmon Meunière was good, though the mashed potatoes were dry. * Pescado Fiorentina was very good and the standout among the mains. The full bar is great, but the wine selection is limited. A memorable stop with some highs and a few misses.
