   I had been once before and enjoyed my experience. Last night far exceeded my expectations. The oysters were some of the best I’ve ever tasted, the habanero salsa was delicious, the tostada inspired. We had the lamb special and the barbacoa and both were just exquisite. Dessert topped off a wonderful evening. The only thing better than the food was the service. 10/10 would recommend. We’ll be back soon!

   Food was good, service wasn’t terrible but could have been better. Waiter kept forgetting things and took a long time bringing us drinks and food

   Service has been awful 3 times in a row but the food is so good. The only amazing waitress and the reason I keep coming back is Rabia. She is so nice and overcompensates the bad attention from other waiters.

   We went for a Mother's Day brunch, and well, that is a tough day for any restaurant, so I am not going to come to any conclusions just yet. The food was pretty good but the service was spotty, as the staff was clearly struggling to keep up with all of the customers. I want to go back on a normal weekend or weeknight and see how the handle it.

   Mothers Day brunch was a huge bust. Food was overpriced and not good (with the exception of the flautas)

   Waiter Matthew was fabulous and other servers were very attentive. The descriptions of menu items being gluten free and/or dairy free was so thoughtfully done. The food was so great. Clearly a fine chef is at the helm. Loved the snapper with mole’ and ceviche. Will be back soon. Only drawback was the dining area devoid of windows. Feels like you are in a basement. But outside dining and bar dining is available.

    Incredible food and open on Mondays which, as someone who works in the industry, I always appreciate. I can't wait to go back and try more things! I also loved that the menu was marked with dairy-free items

    Innovative food. We went on an slow Monday night and we’re delighted by authentic selections like perfectly grilled pulpo (octopus) and barbaracoa (cow cheek) beautifully presented in a banana leaf package and delightful cocktails.

    Not a big menu; choices or selections were limited. One member of our party got the Seared scallops, the presentation was great but only four scallops for $36.00 usually restaurants will serve six scallops. It was our first-time dining at the restaurant, probably won't be our priority of restaurants to go out for dinner.

    The food quality was not good for the price. The service was terrible. When we asked to the waitress about the menu, he started to read it...to provide recommendations or even to give advice.....the guy didn't have any idea and looked like it was hist first day working as a waitress. We ordered some appetizers, the "easter brunch" for the adults and the single entrees for the kids. The meal for the kids arrive with the appetizers, and the entrees for the adult arrived 30 minutes after finish their food. One adult's entry was missed and instead a desert arrived at the same time that the other entrees. We complained, and the lady who brought the dessert said: it's not my fault, it the waitress who sent bad instructions to the kitchen, and that lady just left, leaving the desert over the table. That was the breaking point and then I formally complained to the waitress, not accepting the entrees and asking for the check. The general manager came, ha was very polite and educated. He told us that was first time for the restaurant making the "Easter Brunch". Anyway, the check included everything we consumed, no exception....no concession, just $20 in gift cards for a future visit....We never would be visiting that place again.

    Truely a hidden gem! Seemed pretty authentic to me and if u enjoy Barbacoa Tacos u will definitely love what Maize Mexican Restaurant has to offer. Reasonable prices for great food, good service and pretty awesome drinks too. The inside decor isn’t so bad. The outdoor area patio and building itself could use a little brightening up with perhaps some traditional Mexican colors. My overall experience was good. Will definitely go there again.

    We celebrated a birthday at Maize and had an absolutely phenomenal dining experience! The Barbacoa and Filet w/ Mole was some of the best fare we've ever eaten. The service was also exemplary with very need met. This is a MUST-GO-TO in West Houston.

    Tried this for the first time 3/36/22. Nice place - intersting menu. The raw oysters as well ads the chargrilled oysters are very good. the Grilled Ocopus appetizer was excellent. Some of the house specialty drinks were a bit on the heavy smoke side - our waiter replaced the ladies's drinks with the Traditional - it was an excellent drink. Wives both had fish and raved about it - one had salmon the other the Redfish special of the evening. My friend and I had the barbacoa. Very good but a bit pricey for what it was. Overall this is a nice mix-up and is NOT your run of the mill mexican restaurant. They have done a nice job on remodelling the old Carmelo's building and they have convenient and adequate parking.

    A gem in West Houston! Food was excellent as promised. Service, hospitable and attentive but not bothersome. Our waiter was Gilberto who has had 25 years with this management company. Partners are Carmelo (formerly Carmelos's) Hugo Ortega (can you say more?) and can't remember the name of the other partner. We ate early and as the restaurant filled, they were mostly well-heeled Hispanics, looking for a menu that reflected their heritage...absent tamales and enchiladas. High recommend!
