Maiz Cocina - Scarlett love her personality - Mexican Near Me - Corona, California

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

I met mu family members here for lunch because it was half way between us, and completely saddened that Miguel's had moved off of the 15. It was ONLY our party of 3 and another table of a gentleman with a young kid. When I arrived, the guys were already enjoying some chips & salsa, and beans. One of them had a soda, the other had ordered one of the specialty margaritas. I sat down, several minutes later, I ordered a margarita while I looked over the menu. The waiter seemed to be rushed to take our food order.... So, we ordered without me asking my "normal questions" that I would normally do when dining at a new "Mexican" restaurant. I am Latina, and I am allergic to raw onions and I don't like cilantro forward dishes (cumin is fine). One of my favorite dishes growing up is chile verde, so I went with it. It was literally chunks of pork and cilantro sauce, with a bit of heat. It was disgusting..... but, our waiter never came back to check on us to ask how our meals were, didn't offer to refill the chips & salsa (which was pretty much gone before I even arrived), didn't refill our water, soda.... Nada. He finally showed up to drop the check off, after we motioned him at the bar. My plate was pretty much untouched, other than a few bites of the rice and I ate a tortilla because I was starving because he didn't come back to check on our table. After seeing my plate, pretty much untouched, do you think he asked if there was something else he could serve me? - NOPE. Did he offer to remove it from the bill? - NOPE. Do you think he apologized for ignoring us the entire time we were there? - HELL NO!! I paid nearly $100 for a margarita, a couple chips and a tortilla. At least the guys found their food decent enough to eat. We will never return, because the service doesn't match the prices charged. Some people shouldn't work in a service industry, if they don't care to provide decent service. I was beyond disappointed - how would you feel if you just paid $100 for lunch for 3 people, only 2 cocktails.... And still had to stop somewhere else afterwards to eat some edible food? read more

Had such a great time at brunch here. The margaritas really hit the spot, especially the spicy mango. The tortilla chips were warm and crispy, which made for a great start, and the burrito was delicious and perfectly sized. The meat was seasoned really well, too. A great experience overall. 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. We sat outside but both the inside and outside seem very comfortable. There seems to really be something for everyone. read more

Maiz Cocina - Our server Scarlett! - Mexican Near Me - Corona, California

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

very impressed with the food!! first, their chip with 2 dips: salsa and beans. both choices were great. I had the enchilada de langostina and it was so tasty. The sauce it came with is creamy had has the seafood flavor to die for. Steak fajitas the steak was so tender! mexican coffee with brown sugar super good but beware it does have spices so just in case that's not your type. butter cake with vanilla ice cream and the churros yum!!!!! the cake was so moist and with the ice cream perfect pairing ambiance 5/5. i love that they have an enclosed outdoor area service 5/5 they were all very attentive read more

Great food and big portions for the price. Service was great. We will definitely come back.

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

The food was great love the food. I had the shrimp taquitos off the appetizer menu not exactly what I was expecting, but they were good. My friend had an enchilada and a chili Riano and she loved those the problem with this place is the service not very friendly at all and we waited for a super long time to get our check. I could rate by food. It would probably be a 4 1/2 and service a two. 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
