Oh boy was this place freakin' great! Ambience: This place was small but mighty. Super-clean all the way down to the toilet. Very nicely decorated with a great outdoor patio. Wait Staff: I wish I took the name of our waitress because she was awesome, funny and knowledgeable about the menu. All waiters/waitresses were great. Drinks: Unfortunately I didn't get any drinks because we kept seeing the brightly colored drinks and flights being served around us and I was jealous, they all looked awesome. Food: This is where it gets good because the food was A+++mazing. We started off with just the salsa, chips and for a nice surprise, some warm beans. The salsa brought a tear to my eye because it was soooo good. Luckily, my son doesn't eat salsa so I drank it all down. The chips were perfectly fresh and crispy. Guac: So, our waitress brought us some off the menu guac, and, WTF, why are they hiding this recipe from the rest of the world. I literally got into a fist fight with my son because he was trying to take it from me (not really) but I didn't want to share. The presentation was so cute too. Plantains + chips + guac = heavan Fajitas: I ordered fajitas and all boxes were checked, quantity, quality, and taste. I ordered the chicken and it was juicy and thick and perfectly seasoned. Steak tacos: My kid ordered the steak tacos and we brokered a deal to trade some steak for chicken and this was the best deal made since the New Deal (American history). Steak was chunky and juicy and fresh! The only problem with this place is that it is very far from my house as I was in the 'hood for my kids basketball tournament. If I am in the area you better believe that I will be back. Oh yeah, and very affordable for the upscale dining. read more

I've been coming into this place for about eight years and has been different managers managing this place. The food has been OK on enough but the last time I got there we was eating on the patio and we saw infestation of rats everywhere so close they really almost get in our seats. . The manager apologize but . I guess it's more than that. Need to be taken care of as soon as possible before the health department find out enclose down the place so I would recommend it if you go eat there don't eat outside. when it's just dark the rats get into the back patio. For the person in charge is like a normal you don't really seems like he cares for tha problem.. I spent almost $200 and do you have that experience it now a good sign of a good business. read more

I remember coming here once before and loving it, so I always planned to come back. I used to live too far away, but now that I'm closer, I decided to give it another try. Unfortunately, what a disappointment. For $28, I got only five shrimp with almost no flavor, plus a tiny side of rice and beans. The portion honestly looked like something off the kids' menu. Not only was it bland, but it also wasn't satisfying at all. The one positive was the service--it was friendly and attentive. Sadly, the food just didn't live up to my previous experience. For the price, it's simply not worth it. Save your money and eat somewhere else. read more

Went to Maiz Cocina for lunch and it was amazing. We ordered so much food, we wanted a taste of everything. We tried the queso, jalapeño cream soup, and the pork belly bites for appetizers. We had the chile relleno and enchiladas de mole for our main dishes. I ordered a watermelon basil for a drink. Clearly we ordered so much that we took leftovers home but every dish hit the spot. Service was quick and honestly so efficient... I was surprised how quick he was but very attentive! The restaurant is beautiful! Will definitely come back for dinner to enjoy the ambience. read more

My boyfriend and I came out here for dinner one night. He lives in the area and couldn't believe we've never been here before. Food and service is outstanding. The chips and salsa and bean dip were served as soon as we were seated and was even refilled for us without even asking. We ordered the margarita flight, a really unique offering. My favorite was the tamarind one. Definitely more boozy than I was expecting which was a nice surprise. We started with the deconstructed pork belly tacos which were nice and crispy and had great flavor. My boyfriend enjoyed the lobster enchiladas. I don't know many restaurants that offer lobster enchiladas so this was a must try! That did not disappoint. We also ordered their carnitas plate. It was good as well but still think the two other dishes we ordered were my favorite. When we saw butter cake on the dessert menu, we wouldn't help ourselves. It was amazing! Safe to say we definitely ordered too much food for the two of us but enjoyed taking a doggy bag home for meals the next couple days. read more

WOOOW blown away by this place!! We came pretty late, 30 mins to closing, so we made sure we were out by 10. Presentation is gorgeous, but we hardly even got through half our plates because they were so filling. Dishes are super unique and priced very reasonably. We also ordered a margarita and butter cake, both also delicious. Service was great. Everyone was so attentive, quick, and friendly! Really appreciated that.

This is a local Mexican restaurant that is convenient and gets great recommendations so we decided to try it. On our first visit, we sat at the bar. The bartender took our drink order, and we received chips and salsa, which were very good. However, the bartender seemed a bit distracted, forgot about us, even though it wasn't a busy night. We decided to give it another chance since so many people seem to enjoy this place. We visited again, and we ordered a few drinks, received chips and salsa, then placed our food order. We waited for a bit and ordered a few more drinks. Unfortunately, after waiting about an hour, we never received our meal or any update on its status. We eventually decided to close out our bill. At that point, we noticed we had been charged for the meal we never received, as well as drinks that were not served. When we brought this to the bartender's attention, they raised their voice and told us we were wrong, which caught us by surprise. I understand that things can get busy, but a lack of communication and being spoken to disrespectfully is unacceptable. A simple check-in or update would have made a big difference. Based on this experience, we're unlikely to return. We really wanted this to work, but maybe you had to be regular customer to get better service?! We tried, but this place is a solid No for us. read more

I ordered the octopus and a steak burrito via Grubhub around 2pm on Cinco de Mayo. It took a bit longer than predicted but it was worth the wait. The octopus was tender and delicious with a heat that built up slowly. The bed of greens was a little over dressed but delicious. The burrito was very good. It sat for a bit while I ate the octopus so it got a little soggy. It had a lot of steak much to my surprise. The presentation of both dishes was exceptional. In my experience, Corona doesn't have many restaurants that produce high quality food and deliver. I'm glad to have discovered Maiz Cocina. I'll be back. read more

Great little spot for brunch! It's in a strip mall off the 91 at Green River, and it delivers. We had Sunday brunch and all tastes good. Chilaquiles was massive (come hungry). Out party also had avocado toast and the breakfast burrito. All items ordered were as expected, delicious. The sever was attentive, and the music was upbeat. They have a small footprint in the immediate restaurant, but an enclosed patio that adds seats to the mix. They do have a small outdoor area in front, but it probably only gets use when busy. I would think dogs can join the outdoor fun. So glad we came by, and we will return. read more

One of the best Mexican spots that I've been to! They serve up complimentary freshest tortilla chips I've ever had. Came warm and freshly made with salsa and refried beans. These are some of the other items I got to try out. Ceviche - Interesting and a bit different. Not too sour and was a first to see cucumbers not diced up. It was good but I wasn't crazy about it either. (4/5) Rack of Lamb - A MUST GET. This was BOMB. I know its $34 but they cook it with some mole sauce and it was tender and flavorful. Also came with some potato patty mixture that was delicious as well. (5/5) Fajitas De La Casa (Steak) - The pan it came with wasn't "sizzling" but it was warm. The meat was tender and cooked medium/well done. Came with corn tortillas which was fresh and tasty. I enjoyed this dish and would get it again. (4.5/5) The service was quite fast and very friendly, we enjoyed our stay here. It's a beautiful restaurant with the freshest food and great service. They even came out and sang to my friend for her birthday as well as gave us a free birthday cake slice. Would totally recommend this spot. Not sure if you need a reservation but I came at 2 pm and didn't have to wait for a table for 11. Parking - Huge lot shared with other nearby places. read more

It was very yummy here! It comes with eggs, and I added steak for some extra protein. The presentation was beautiful, too. Highly recommend! Steak & Eggs: My friend ordered a dish that had a different name on the menu, but it was essentially steak and eggs. She said it was absolutely delicious.

Never under or overcooked. It's just right! Asada. Again, marinated to perfection. Perfectly cooked. Never over cooked. The flavor is there. They've got a great salsa bar.

The food and staff is great here. Th quality is excellent! Give it a try and you won't be disappointed. At least not with the asada or pastor. I have not tried the other things on the menu.

I personally didn't love the tacos, but to be fair, I also didn't try anything else on the menu so I can't speak for the rest of their food. The place itself is a decent size, and the patio area is actually pretty nice. The staff was very kind, my order was ready right on time, and I appreciated that they weren't stingy with the sauces.

Camarones, Mojo de Ajo style, no head, no shell. The shrimp were nice sized, but obviously overcooked. Mr B said that a couple even tasted old as well. Too bad.

Check my picture for the information. I ended up getting the 3 taco plate (2 asada and 1 carnitas) and the XL meat quesadilla with asada. The carnitas was really tender and delicious. The asada was good, but it was not my favorite. I have a thing with chewy fatty pieces and I understand it is common in lower quality cuts of flap meat. This asada had quite a few pieces I had to spit out because it was just too chewy. The refried beans were good, also not my favorite though. The quesadilla was good, I liked the grilled cheese cooked prior to folding it into the tortilla with the meat. Nice touch. That grilled cheese makes a huge difference. The next 3 taco plate had pastor, asada, and shrimp (except they actually gave me fish instead). At least my girlfriend enjoyed the fish taco as well. The tacos were loaded with meat and hard to pick up. That's the best! The pastor was tender and juicy. The fish taco was freshly fried and loaded with toppings and sauce. After paying, I asked for salsa and onions/cilantro cups so I could grab it from the salsa bar before leaving, but the lady turned around and grabbed me prepackaged salsa of each kind, bagged onion and cilantro, and limes. Super nice! Salsa were all really good! Especially the green avocado salsa. I'll come back for carnitas when I'm in the mood for tacos/quesadillas. I'll probably avoid the asada though.

Everything tastes good. I just finished my leftovers and I'm already craving the noodles since they were so soft. The restaurant is clean and modern with big windows and an outdoor patio. If it weren't so hot (We came on a 100F day) it looked like a nice place to eat under the umbrellas. I accidentally spilled a jar of hot sauce which for some reason had a loose removable lid and one of the waitresses was quick to clean it up for us. She was nice about it, too, like she could've easily copped an attitude with us about it, but didn't. A man next to us said he accidentally did the same thing which makes me think they need to find a different container for that sauce. There's a huge parking lot, so that wasn't a problem. However, the area directly in front of the restaurant and the other shops near it were sectioned off with yellow caution tape for some reason and my sister said it looked like a murder scene, which made me laugh. I'm fairly sure that wasn't the case, but I don't know why they did it. The only reason I knew the restaurant was open for business was because I saw people eating inside through the windows.

The menu at Maiz Cocina is a celebration of the rich culinary heritage of Mexico, with each dish paying homage to the country's diverse regions and cultural traditions. I started my culinary journey with an assortment of appetizers, including the guacamole trio, which featured three unique variations of this beloved dip, each bursting with freshness and flavor. For the main course, I opted for the mole poblano, a classic Mexican dish that showcases the complexity and depth of traditional mole sauce. The tender chicken was smothered in a rich and velvety mole sauce, made with a blend of chilies, chocolate, and spices, resulting in a dish that was as comforting as it was decadent. In addition to their exquisite mains, Maiz Cocina also offers a variety of tacos, enchiladas, and other Mexican classics, each prepared with care and attention to detail. I couldn't resist sampling their street-style tacos, which were a symphony of flavors and textures, with tender meat, fresh toppings, and handmade tortillas that transported me to the bustling streets of Mexico City. What truly sets Maiz Cocina apart is their commitment to quality and authenticity. Every dish is made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and the flavors are a testament to the culinary expertise of their talented chefs. Whether you're a seasoned foodie or simply looking to explore the vibrant flavors of Mexican cuisine, Maiz Cocina offers a dining experience that is sure to delight and inspire. The service at Maiz Cocina is as impeccable as the food itself, with the staff displaying a genuine passion for hospitality and a dedication to ensuring that every guest leaves satisfied. Whether you're a regular patron or a first-time visitor, you're welcomed with a smile and treated to service that is as warm and inviting as the flavors of their food. read more

I've been to Maiz Cocina in Corona a few times now, and it's quickly become one of my go-to spots! Every visit has been consistently amazing. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. Let's talk about the food--where do I even start? The café de olla is a must-try. Rich, perfectly spiced, and just the right amount of sweetness, it's the perfect pick-me-up, especially on a cool morning. As for the food, the pork belly bites are nothing short of heavenly. They're crispy on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth tender on the inside, with that perfect balance of savory and a little sweetness. Every bite is packed with flavor! Another standout dish is their grilled octopus. Tender, beautifully charred, and seasoned to perfection, it's easily one of the best versions I've had in the area. The service is always friendly and attentive, which just adds to the overall experience. If you're in Corona and looking for a spot that serves up bold, delicious flavors with great hospitality, Maiz Cocina is the place to be. Highly recommend! read more

I've been to Maiz Cocina twice now, and both times have been a fantastic experience. The food is top-notch--on my first visit, I had the Famous Carnitas, which were incredibly flavorful and tender. The second time, I went for the Chile Colorado, and it did not disappoint. The rich, deep flavors in the sauce were just perfect. My friend, who is vegan, ordered the Mushroom Tacos, and I couldn't resist stealing a bite. They were absolutely delicious! Just a heads-up--if you're vegan, make sure to request no dairy. The cocktails are also a highlight--refreshing, well-balanced, and a great complement to the meal. The ambience is warm and inviting, with a cozy vibe that makes you want to linger. The service is personable and attentive, adding to the overall great experience. Even though I don't find myself in Corona often, this spot would definitely be in my regular rotation if I lived closer. Also, the patio was surprisingly warm on a chilly evening, which made for a comfortable dining experience. Highly recommend checking this place out! read more

Maiz Cocina is a great place to go for a delicious Mexican meal and a great margarita. The restaurant is located in Corona, California, and it has a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food at Maiz Cocina is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The menu features a variety of traditional Mexican dishes, as well as some more creative options. I recently visited Maiz Cocina with some friends, and we all really enjoyed the ceviche, the tacos, and the enchiladas. The margaritas at Maiz Cocina are also excellent. They have a large selection of premium liquors, and they make their margaritas fresh to order. My go-to is the jalapeño margarita, which is made with a blend of tequila, lime juice, and jalapeño peppers. It is the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. The service at Maiz Cocina is also excellent. The staff is friendly and attentive, and they are always happy to make recommendations. We had a great time at Maiz Cocina, and we will definitely be back soon. read more

I always judge a mexican restaurant by their salsa and chips. The Salsa tastes fresh and homemade, the chips are also crispy and usually eaten quickly. I got the flight of margaritas, they come in 4 flavors. I actually had 2 flights before I ordered food. The guacamole is really fresh and real actual avocados. Most places will give you some paste that looks like guac but is actually water and powder. The Chipotle adobo sauce that comes with the guac is simple but electrifying. The Tacos de ongo are a must. The NY steak paired with the mushrooms are really hearty and i was only able to finish one taco, glad to take the rest home for an encore. I look forward to coming back, the service was excellent, the owner even made his was to check up on us. I felt like I knew the people here. This is a gem in the Corona area, better than anything i could find in a 30 mile radius. read more

I had the pleasure of visiting MAIZ cocina, a Mexican restaurant that started out as a food truck and now has its first brick and mortar location in Corona. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with a choice between dining inside the air-conditioned area or outside on the terrace. Now let's talk about the food. The Chile Relleno with mole sauce was fantastic. And of course, no meal is complete without dessert, so I tried the classic Tres Leches Cake, which was sweet and scrumptious. But what really stood out to me was the unique flavor combinations and high-quality service. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the margarita flights were a great way to try different flavors. Overall, MAIZ cocina is definitely worth a visit for anyone looking for delicious Mexican cuisine with a unique twist. Don't miss out on this gem in Corona! read more

Maiz Cocina absolutely exceeded my expectations. The chicken mole was perfectly prepared -- tender, flavorful, and so rich that it practically melted apart with every bite. The carnitas were equally impressive -- juicy, crisp on the edges, and seasoned to perfection. And the steak fajitas? Hands down the best I've had in years. The steak was so tender it could be cut with a butter knife, and every bite was bursting with flavor. You can taste the care and craftsmanship in every dish. The presentation was beautiful, the portions were generous, and the entire meal felt like a celebration of authentic Mexican cuisine done right. If you're anywhere near Corona, do yourself a favor and eat here. Maiz Cocina is the real deal -- comfort, flavor, and artistry all in one plate. read more

The food is delicious and I really like the chips, salsa and beans that they serve when you first sit down. My favorite item is the vegetarian bowl. It's unique and has a lot of flavors. The service is pretty good. Sometimes better than others depending on who you get. But my biggest critique is the loud music. I prefer to sit outside because it's hard to have a conversation inside without yelling.

Fabulous!! This place is so good. The carne asada…read morequesadilla is huge and satisfying. The salsa is extremely tasty. Not the biggest fan of the California burrito, but we will definitely go back to try other items.

It has both indoor and patio seating with a full bar.. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The menu has a great mix of dishes with traditional Mexican brunch, lunch and dinner items; large drink menu with beer, wine, and mixed drinks; vegetarian; kids; and dessert items. We ordered a bunch of items, and everyone agreed that the food and drum were very good and the service was excellent. Highly recommended'

The only downside of this particular location is the lack of parking availability. Apart from that, our food was deliciousO !!!!

The parking here is a little tough, there's plenty of parking but they're also next to a starbucks drive through so watch out for that if you park in that 1 way lane. It's a bit disorganized inside for pick up. I was told to wait around the corner, but there's no space as people are exiting from paying at the register. It got a little confusing and cramped. Ordered chilaquilies - 3/5 would not recommend ordering for pick up as the chips get soggy fast. Other than that it was okay, plenty of pork. Corned beef hash 3/5 - solid nothing crazy Oreo pancake 3/5 tasted like you'd expect. It's a decent brunch spot, but gets super packed with tough parking. I'd go back at an off time, but it's nothing crazy.

Great flavors wonderful service, as well as a clean and enjoyable experience!…read more Chile verde wet burrito was really good. Carne Asada wet also very good. Salsa is one of my main barometers of good Mexican food and the roasted tomato and chile salsa was perfect!

Went here for lunch because my sister had been wanting to try it for a while…read more Parking is a little weird because it's shared with a 7/11 convenience store and some spots are specifically reserved for 7/11. Still, I was able to find a spot quickly. Walking in, there's a sign that says "Wait to be seated", but when the waitress came out, she said we could sit wherever we wanted. We chose a booth by the window. I don't know how old this restaurant is, but I could tell that the booth we chose was really popular because the leather seats were so worn down that they had to patch some of the holes up. As soon as we were seated, we were immediately given menus, water, chips, and salsa. The salsa was really spicy, though, so as much as we love chips and salsa and would normally have finished it all off before our actual meal came, we could only eat half of it. Across from us was a big family of Latinos which for me was a good sign. After all, if they're Latino themselves, they could easily just make the same food at home, but if the food here was good enough for them to come here instead, then the food had to be decent. Since I'm vegetarian, I had to ask for them to not put meat in my enchilada, so the waitress just made it a cheese one. If you're vegetarian like me, there's not really much on the menu for us, but at least they're accommodating enough to leave the meat out if you ask. If you're vegan, you're really out of luck since it seems everything will have at least melted cheese on top. All of the food came out quickly and at the same time, which is appreciated since not all restaurants do that. In addition, the portions were big enough for us to eat most of it there, then be full enough to want to take the rest of it home, which makes up for the cost since it is a little expensive. Again, I don't know how old the restaurant is, but you could tell it's been aged through the years, like the paint is peeling off or splattered with what looked like salsa. Definitely a hole in the wall kind of place. On the other hand, if it's been around long enough to go through that kind of wear and tear, it's a testament to the loyalty of its customers. Plus, they do try to make it look nice with balloons, flowers, and flags. And they try to clean up the tables as soon as people are done eating. I just finished eating my leftovers and it tasted as good as it did when I ate it at the restaurant. So the food is good, the sizes, especially for the cost, are decent. Just know that the place is a little worn down, but the employees try their best to smile, be friendly, and quick to attend to your needs.

El Chivito Birrieria

Best birria ever!!!…read more The service was fast, and the workers were friendly the whole time. The place is small, but it's very clean. I noticed that as soon as customers leave, they clean the tables right away and welcome the next ones in. It's a little pricey, I'm not going to lie, but trust me--it's totally worth it. I bought a pack with 3 pounds of birria, 4 consomés, and handmade tortillas to go, and it was enough for 7 adults and 1 kid.

Clean and authentic, I noticed all locals patronizing the spot during lunchtime. We were starving, so we ordered nearly everything on the menu - most notably the surtido plate, a mulito, a goat cheese quesadilla, and various tacos. My absolute favorite was the cabeza taco, due to El Chivito's cabeza meat being absolutely fall-off-the-bone. I could eat twenty of these. Their birria was of excellent quality, and came with plenty of condiments and consome to drench one's birria in. The potato taco was slightly bland, but a good option for the vegetarians. The flan at the end of was a nice sweet treat. Would love to return for taco Tuesday ($2 tacos!).
