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.

    My only complaint is that they are getting too popular and they are so small they can only accommodate so many each night. All the food and drinks were great - make sure u try their mushroom tacos and patatas bravas!

    Raul provided exceptional service. Not only did he provide exceptional service, he was very detailed with curating every dish that was presented. Everything on the tasting menu, including the drink pairings was superb. Thank you Raul for creating a memorable experience.

    Saw their segment on Chris Beard's "Eat like a local" on Channel 2. Went there for my wife's birthday and it was perfect. Not usually a fan of small plates, but they were so enticing and fairly priced, that we had quite a few and were stuffed after dessert ... and we didn’t have to take out a loan when the check came. A great way to experience Mexican cuisine that isn't just TexMex. Kudos to Adrian and his team. Go, SaberCats!
