About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Great for outdoor dining
Great for creative cocktails

Nestled in the heart of Houston’s West University neighborhood at 6119 Edloe Street, Maximo is a progressive Mexican restaurant from the Local Foods Group team that combines authenticity and adventure. Nearly everything is done in house under Executive Chef Adrian Torres with mentorship from Local Foods Group Creative & Culinary Director Seth Siegel-Gardner. Nixtamalized tortillas are just the start; corn kernels are boiled, soaked and ground into masa, imparting maximum flavor into a dedicated masa section on the menu featuring sopes, tetelas and even cornbread, along with a list of ever-changing taco options. Shareable plates, from crudos and salads to entrees and desserts, entice guests to explore. The restaurant is open Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 4 - 9 p.m. for dinner service and Friday through Sunday from 11 a.m. - 9 p.m. for brunch and dinner service.

Thanks Craig, and you are correct. We are a scratch kitchen and Chef wouldn't have it any other way! See you soon.

Highly recommend the Chef’s Tasting - but not sure how they make money. Not that we minded the low price, because that was a phenomenal meal. $75 per person for a 5-course meal with 5 drink pairings. Best part is everything was really good, especially the service.

Landon, we love you enjoyed the food and service. Our staff appreciates it when our guests really enjoy themselves. Our ownership allows us to focus on the lifetime value of our guests, which allows us to have some smaller margins on things, sounds like the strategy is working!

We had wanted to try Maximo’s for a while and decided to do so for my husband’s 50th birthday dinner. We decided to go with the tasting menu and enjoyed our dinner very much. Our server, Miles, was amazing and added to the enjoyment of our experience.

Happy to hear we could play a part in the celebration of your 50 years together! Gives us all something to aspire to! Miles definitely can be as much of a factor enjoying your experience as the food, which we love!

A great restaurant with all made from scratch dishes. This place is small and has a very in home feel to it. We ordered the tasting menu and loved every bite. The craft cocktails were amazing. I highly recommend!
MaximoResponded on May 30, 2025
Awesome! The idea is to have our tasting and pairing menu ever changing, with new and unique dishes from Chef and our Bartender. Hope you guys enjoy the pending additions as well!
