Maiz Agua Sal

A small group of us came late on Sunday and they were so great at accommodating us. They serve brunch until 4pm on Sundays and I was able to order the chilaquiled rojos. The food was affordable and tasty. I especially enjoyed the chips and salsa they provided free of charge which had large chips and 3 different salsa with a side of pickled vegetables. As far as decor, it was absolutely beautiful inside. I especially loved the weaver basket lights. I would love to come back and try their dinner menu.

My husband and I have been to MAS twice now--once for an early dinner, and once for brunch. They stand out for their complimentary--and unbelievably delicious--homemade chips and salsas, and their unique take on Mexican food. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, but we prefer sitting inside to avoid the sun. (Their outdoor seating area is quite sunny.) The indoor area is spacious and very modern in style. And the music is great!We've tried their guacamole, shrimp and carnitas tacos, chicken flautas, pork tamale, and huevos rancheros. They make their chips and tortillas from scratch, and you can tell! The salsas are delicious--especially their spiciest made one with peanuts. The guacamole is good, too. Their brunch food stands out for its presentation and flavor. My husband and I tried their huevos rancheros--mine scrambled and his fried over-medium--and both were amazing. Their tacos were a bit sparsely filled during our dinner visit, so we probably won't get them again. But their flautas made up for that miss, as did the pork tamale. Service was a bit off on both visits, but we did go during non-rush times when they had fewer wait staff. Once we mentioned to the hostess that we had been waiting for more than 15 minutes on our latest visit, the manager became our server, and she was great! She mentioned they were short a few staff who were out sick, and we appreciated her attention and candor. We love the flavors of their food and will definitely return!

Great Service ! Angel is a sweetie , loved him. Food is delicious , I have traditional authentic Mexican food at home so to get restaurant quality that's just as close is amazing. Tamales are a must try a little pricy compared to other places but worth it. Loved the Enmoladas !I will say some of the portions are tiny for the price.

We tried this spot recently and really enjoyed it. I hadn't heard about it but my boyfriend read about it so we thought we'd try it out. The patio is perfect for cooler nights and it wasn't terribly packed. The inside looked pretty big as well.My boyfriend has the tequila flight and really liked it. I had the Paloma and it was so tasty! I didn't taste much alcohol which could be a good or bad thing ha.The food was also delicious. I loved all the hot sauces they offer with chips. The quesadilla was also tasty. We will definitely be back.

Came in on a Tuesday evening for the first time and sat outside. It wasn't busy at all and the patio is great with a little city view. The house made chips were a little greasy but I did like all of the dips and pickled cauliflower. I got the taco special three tacos for $10, they are usually $5 each. These are small street tacos, so to me $5 is way too much for a taco this size. I got chicken, steak and adobo pork. I loved the seasoning on the pork and the tortillas were good. I did not love the size of the diced steak. Service was a little inconsistent for the evening, started off good, drinks took a while, food was fast and then getting the check the slow. My drink was really great, however there was so much ice and the glass was so small I feel like I barley got five sips out of it.

First visit. Loved the spot. Super chill with a great patio. It wasn't super busy so we were immediately sat. We were greeted by the manager who gave us the back story of the place from the house-made heirloom corn tortillas pressed daily from a machine imported from Mexico and scratch made recipes that have been passed down. We had the free chips and salsa, elote, pork tacos and the special of the day build your own birria. The elote was the best I've ever had and I typically try it every where we go. Chips and salsa came with 4 salsas, the peanut was my favorite. On Thursdays all the tortillas are blue which was fun. My pork taco was packed full of meat and was super filling for one taco. My boyfriend like the birria as well. We will definitely be back!

We hit up Maiz around 2 PM on a Saturday. The spot was nearly empty--just one other table, so we had the whole vibe to ourselves for a bit. The restaurant is absolutely stunning, a gorgeous addition to the west side. I can already tell the outdoor seating will be a vibe come fall.Now, onto the food:Salsa: 5/5. The tortillas were perfect, and the trio of salsas hit every note. The pickled veggies they let us sample? 5/5. Not sure how long they'll be offering that, though.Elote: 5/5. No complaints here. It was delicious, though we wished they had more appetizer options to choose from.Pork Rinds: 2/5. These were a miss. They were way too crispy and could've used more salt.Huevos Rancheros: 3/5. The beans were a bit much, but the flavor was definitely there.Huarache Tinga: 2/5. Too heavy on the nopales. It was more cacti than meat, and the flavor didn't quite come through. I wasn't impressed.Overall, it was a solid meal, and I'm looking forward to trying more of what they have to offer.

The tacos are AMAZING. I love that they provide 3 salsas with chips to start and they are all tasty. Drinks are always delicious, and the staff is super friendly and attentive. They take pride in sharing their knowledge of the menu and I've always gotten good recommendations. Went with a friend who doesn't like corn tortillas but ended up saying they were the best she's had in Charlotte after living here a year. (Agreed, they are fire )

First of all, the space is beautiful - lots of natural light, greenery, and earthen materials. The outdoor area has fans and heaters. It's covered by a clear material so you're protected from the rain but nothing to shade you from the sun. This was a nonissue at 7pm, but could be a problem midday. Our server (Lee?) did an excellent job explaining the menu to us. He noted that everything is made in house and the cuisine is specific to a region in southern Mexico where the chef is from. I love a good origin story and the authenticity really came through in the flavors of the food. I started with a horchata, which was sweet and refreshing. I enjoyed it with the complimentary blue corn tortilla chips. We then split the elote, carnitas, and steak quesadilla for our meal. The elote was my favorite. It had a spicy kick to it and pairs well with almost anything on the menu. The carnitas is a huge serving. If you get it with tortillas you can fill at least five tacos. The quesadilla is very good, but it needed something to cut through the richness. That was easily fixed by dipping it in the complimentary salsas that came with the chips. My partner also had a lengua taco and said it was the best taco he's ever had!

This restaurant has one of the best cocktail menus in charlotte. I tried three different drinks and they were amazing. The food and service was also very good.
