About the restaurant

Maíz is the word for corn in Spanish which is the backbone of the Mexican food scene. Maíz Mexican Food is a food and beverage concept that celebrates and integrates a wide range of corn preparations that most Mexican restaurants aren’t offering at the moment.

Had a great experience at MOD Dining! The food was absolutely delicious — the crispy fried eggplant was definitely the highlight for me. Seriously, if you go, get the eggplant. Our waiter was super attentive and just a really cool person overall, which made the whole vibe even better. The restaurant itself has a beautiful atmosphere — stylish but still really comfortable. Highly recommend dining here if you’re looking for a great meal and nice vibe.
