    Tacos
    Matt S.

    Went to Maiz Molino for lunch with a party of six and had a great experience! It's a walk up to the counter and order situation, but also has nice seating. I ordered the tacos, which comes with three. I chose carnitas, bistec, and chicken. All were delicious and tasted fresh and flavorful. It came with rice, beans, and some sauce. Great lunch spot. Though the food came out pretty slow, I think it was just understaffed.

    Service is TOP NOTCH. Gentleman working here when I had reservations this past 09/20 @5:15OM literally was smiling the entire time. They were busy. Ambiance is GORGEOUS. They took their time planning the decor. Food was ok. Prices are a tad high for the food amount.

    What a great place to get Mexican food that specializes in mole. Their duck confit one was amazing! So many great flavors. The halibut dish was out of this world, I really love the plantains! The flan cheesecake was so unique I could eat two of them! Overall, super friendly service and great atmosphere, I highly recommend and it would come back.

    Came here with a friend this past Saturday for brunch. First of all the space is very cool the bar is covered in ceramic tiles and each is a different design. It's bright and cheerful. We both had dinner planes later and were looking around at what people were ordering and realized the portions were very generous and we didn't think we could finish one by ourselves we barely finished what we ordered and we had split an entree. We split the Asada Chilaquiles Rojo. Which was delicious we like how the chips were a little firmer. I had a Jamaica to drink and my friend had an iced horchata latte we enjoyed those as well. Service was friendly and helpful. Definitely would love to try more of the menu

    I got food poisoning within eight hours of eating dinner here in the middle of the night. It was just virulent. I was the only person at my table who ate the Molay so it could've been that of course there's always a possibility. I got food poisoning elsewhere, but That was my last meal before I got sick. I did not like the house made tortillas even though they were made fresh and in house. They tasted very bland and on appetizing to me. Really overall, this place was a big disappointment. The atmosphere and service were fine.

    I appreciate that they offer reservations because I have come here before and it was busy. Today I had one but it wasn't needed on this Saturday at lunch time. We were the only ones there and were tended to very quickly and nicely. The food came out warm and yummy. Their brunch and lunch menu had so many delicious options it was hard to choose but we were satisfied with our choices. The horchata latte was good as well and a nice addition to our brunch tasting. I highly recommend coming here, the ambiance was quiet but I imagine it can get quite loud at some point when it's busier

    Went for Valentine's Day and got free mimosas! The food was amazing, very flavorful and good portions (enough to share if you aren't super hungry). The decor was super colorful an authentic giving a fun cultural vibe. We sat at the bar and servers were very funny and engaging which made the time enjoyable.

    Friendly service! Was greeted with smiles and suggestions when I didn't know what to order. Restaurant is beautifully decorated. Can't wait to be back!

    Maiz Molino is flavor to the max! We went for brunch and got the chilaquiles, carne Asada eggs, pozole, quesadillas, and horchata latte. Every dish was delicious. My 17 year old son said this was the best Mexican food he's ever had(he ordered the quesadillas). Their salsas were really good too. Friendly service. We are definitely returning.

    Maiz has some great dishes. I've come a couple times and my favorite is always the Elote Risotto (w/ shrimp added). It's super creamy and flavorful. I've also enjoyed the Short Rib, I like how it falls off the bone. They have a cool menu and great decor w/ ceramic tiles and a lot of character.

    Wonderful dinner at Maiz on a Thursday evening. We were the first ones here at 5, more folks came in around the time we left 6:10~ I ordered the trio tacos - carnitas, pastor & chicken and requested spicy salsa (it was good!) My husband ordered the Carne Asada plate and it was to his liking with spicy pepper, pickled bits, pico de gallo, sausage and salsa. It also came with some fresh tortillas. You can really taste the freshness and authenticity of their food at Maiz. The service was exceptional. Very attentive and patient. Food came out at a good time, 15 mins. We admired the decor and tile work done in the space. Really enjoyed date night dinner here and would highly recommend!

    Super nice staff! Super good food! Can't ask for more. Got two items and they were both excellent! Super tasty! It was nice eating here because I'm from California, and I've been missing the Mexican food over there. It's downtown, so you could park at the Amazon building on the weekends for free.

    i really enjoyed my meal here, and i appreciate that they are open fairly late! came around 8:30 on saturday, and there were a few tables open. they have bar seating too if you're interested in that. their menu has something for everyone, some small plates/shareables, entrees, desserts, and drinks. we got the sampler ($20) that comes with small helpings of each salsa/dip. really enjoyed the green salsa, it was bright and tangy, not too spicy. the pico de gallo salsa was as expected, nothing too unique, the refried beans were smooth and flavorful. the pickles were crisp and tart. beware of that pepper though, it's very very spicy, and seasoned very well. i think the stand out of this meal for me was the beef tongue (lengua) tacos! wow!!! it was so tender and tasted so good, and pairs very well with the green salsa it comes with. i would order 2 orders for myself next time. we also got the chicken mole. it definitely has that chocolate-y sweet taste to it. comes with rice and beans but because we came late they were out of rice, so we got the option to sub with veggies or more beans. overall a fantastic meal, with fantastic flavors, a bit pricey but i dont mind because it's so good.

(those burritos are massive omg.) the mole enchiladas were SOOO good, as were the cashew poblano enchiladas. their sauces are so yummy and the presentation was on-point for both enchiladas. i also had a bite of my friend's carne en morita which is a slow cooked pork dish, and i was obsessed. the only thing i'd say to pass on would be the tacos. drinks were also great and had amazing presentation. i was very satisfied with my carajillo and my friend's passion fruit mojito was also very tasty (you could NOT taste the alc in it i swear) overall, koko's is a great spot if you're looking to dress up for a cute night out but also craving some tasty mexican food.

The table also has two glass bottles of water for refilling as needed which I always appreciate. We started with the Bone Marrow and Queso Fundido and both were delicious. 10/10, no notes. I typically don't like Queso Fundido because it gets so greasy and the cheese hardens fast but this was flavorful, spreadable and the chorizo was a nice compliment not the main event. The Bone Marrow was exactly what you'd expect! So yummy. For our mains we got the Buenos Aires Torta (actually the reason we came to try Asadero) and the shrimp tacos. The bread for the Torta was flavorful and perfectly toasted. The steak was delicious and the chimichurri was so good I just wish there was more! My husband got the tacos and he said they were also very good! After we finished eating we were offered peppermint tea (complimentary) which was another really unexpected and unique touch/experience! The service from everyone was great. Very friendly. Quick service. The establishment was clean and so cozy but also upscale in a very chill way. Bathrooms were clean and smelled good with cute decor. It's not a huge place but I think that's what allows for such an attentive experience. From start to finish we really enjoyed ourselves and will absolutely be back with friends or family!

I'm usually a fan of a smaller, curated menu because it suggests care in sourcing and execution. But for us, the execution just didn't land. Everything is served family-style, but the portion sizes didn't justify the price point. We started with the sourdough and butter spread, and it was a letdown right away. The bread was hard as a rock, and the butter--while sounding interesting--came slightly burnt and didn't feel worth $11 for two pieces. Next was the albacore tuna tostada. As someone who travels to Mexico City often, I was genuinely excited for this. But it leaned heavily on avocado, with barely any tuna to balance it out. For $25 and only two tostadas, it felt pretty stingy. The rapini quesadilla sounded promising but ended up tasting mostly like broccolini and mushrooms--nothing that really stood out or justified the dish. We finished with the 21-day dry-aged steak, which, at $59, felt like it should've been a highlight. Unfortunately, it missed the mark. It came out essentially raw, which I didn't mind in theory, but it was incredibly chewy and lacked flavor. It was difficult to cut and even harder to enjoy. The tortillas were nice, and the demi-glaze had potential, but overall it just didn't come together. Even the refried beans on the side were underwhelming--something you could easily find done better at a casual spot. On the bright side, the mezcal margarita with a tajín rim was excellent--well-balanced and probably the highlight of the night. And the service was warm and attentive, which I appreciated. But overall, for the prices and the hype, this place just didn't do it for me. Maybe we ordered wrong, but I've had much better elsewhere. I hate to say it, but I probably won't be back.
