We had a wonderful first-time experience here with a weekend lunch. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and we got there early enough to snag a booth. The ambiance is warm and lively, between the live greenery hanging from the ceiling and the beautiful Mexican decor. The menu is late and full of enticing dishes; it was hard to decide which to go with. Everything we tried was delicious. We started with guacamole (highly recommend getting this) with the chips provided, along with drinks from the specials list - spicy Palomas (yum!). The burritos and chicken mole negro were flavorful and packed with quality ingredients. We were too full for dessert but would definitely try it on another trip. We'll be back again soon!

Everything tasted fantastic, the La Rhumba drink honestly only tasted like lime with a hint of coconut lurking around, wouldve liked a little more coconut flavor to be there but still alright. Server was very attentive and kind, always a good experience. The atmosphere was incredibly loud, some songs were louder than the already loud ones.

This is a must visit location if you enjoy authentic Mexican with a suburban twist! Great location and absolutely splendid food. I always get the fajitas which come out sizzling hot each time. I went yesterday with my mother and were blown away by our amazing server and how quickly we were met with water and chips and salsa to start. I’ve been here over 10 times and will always rave about this place.

We were an older party of four. One diner’s chicken was a bit overcooked but everything else was great. Cozy bar area with a top notch knowledgeable young woman barkeep slinging the drinks. Food was reasonable and good, servers were friendly and hard-working. The space is very nicely decorated, but it’s probably real noisy when it gets crowded, so weekdays might be better.

The mole Amarillo is the most interesting sauce I’ve ever had. I could bathe in it. I’ve frequented this place since they’ve opened. Somehow I feel their mole sauces have substantially improved. I’ve always loved the mole negro and it’s still fantastic. I love the nuisances in the lighter moles they offer with the red and verde. However, their new Amarillo is a home run Michelin ready addition to the menu. I wish they would offer their moles with their chips because that’s how I like them.

This is my new favorite place to get fish tacos. The Baja tacos were absolutely one of the top 10 meals that I’ve had of a Mexican variety!!! The fish was fried and crisp to absolute perfection, and I don’t even like coleslaw and it was fantastic on these! The small strips of mango added the zing and sweetness that completed the whole thing. And their rumless piña colada was to die for as well. The atmosphere was top tier and so immersive, I can only compare it to my experiences at Disney world! Amazing restaurant, 10/10, I will be back with everyone I know!

This was the first time at Maizal, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere is amazing. The music has you immersed as soon as you walk in. We sat at the bar, and the bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Our beverages the Margarita numero uno, the Maizal classic Margarita and the la rhumba.We started off with queso and guacamole. Both were wonderful. I had the birria tacos a d A had the enchiladas. I love to see birria on a menu . We did not save room for dessert. We will definitely be returning to try more meals.

We had a fantastic experience all around here. Our waitress Maritza (I’m so sorry I’m sure I am butchering that spelling) was fantastic. Her attention to detail, attentiveness, and kindness was very noticeable throughout. The food was fantastic and we had a great time :)
