Maiz Molino: Reviews & Ratings
Walking to the Space Needle and Glass Museum and stopped here for lunch. The pozole was amazing. The flavors were deep and rich. The meat was very tender and fell apart in my mouth. Amazing food.
i really enjoyed my meal here, and i appreciate that they are open fairly late! came around 8:30 on saturday, and there were a few tables open. they have bar seating too if you're interested in that. their menu has something for everyone, some small plates/shareables, entrees, desserts, and drinks. we got the sampler ($20) that comes with small helpings of each salsa/dip. really enjoyed the green salsa, it was bright and tangy, not too spicy. the pico de gallo salsa was as expected, nothing too unique, the refried beans were smooth and flavorful. the pickles were crisp and tart. beware of that pepper though, it's very very spicy, and seasoned very well. i think the stand out of this meal for me was the beef tongue (lengua) tacos! wow!!! it was so tender and tasted so good, and pairs very well with the green salsa it comes with. i would order 2 orders for myself next time. we also got the chicken mole. it definitely has that chocolate-y sweet taste to it. comes with rice and beans but because we came late they were out of rice, so we got the option to sub with veggies or more beans. overall a fantastic meal, with fantastic flavors, a bit pricey but i dont mind because it's so good.
I was craving a Mexican breakfast when we came across Maiz Molina in Seattle. We were looking for something hearty, and it definitely hit the spot! The service made me feel right at home, and the vibe of the place was truly special. I'd highly recommend this spot to everyone!
Friendly service! Was greeted with smiles and suggestions when I didn't know what to order. Restaurant is beautifully decorated. Can't wait to be back!
Wonderful dinner at Maiz on a Thursday evening. We were the first ones here at 5, more folks came in around the time we left 6:10~ I ordered the trio tacos - carnitas, pastor & chicken and requested spicy salsa (it was good!) My husband ordered the Carne Asada plate and it was to his liking with spicy pepper, pickled bits, pico de gallo, sausage and salsa. It also came with some fresh tortillas. You can really taste the freshness and authenticity of their food at Maiz. The service was exceptional. Very attentive and patient. Food came out at a good time, 15 mins. We admired the decor and tile work done in the space. Really enjoyed date night dinner here and would highly recommend!
Super nice staff! Super good food! Can't ask for more. Got two items and they were both excellent! Super tasty! It was nice eating here because I'm from California, and I've been missing the Mexican food over there. It's downtown, so you could park at the Amazon building on the weekends for free.
Fine dining Mexican dishes in a casual, colorful setting. Friendly, attentive service and fresh takes on all the classics. Recommend the short rib, elote risotto, ceviche tostada, and affogato - enjoy!
Stopped in for lunch after visiting the space needle. Everyone in my party loved the food here and we all agreed the ceviche was very fresh!
Delicious food, friendly service, and fun atmosphere for dinner! Came on a Sunday night. Made reservations in advance for 2 people at 7:30pm. Restaurant had only a few tables busy when we arrived but by the middle of our meal it was packed with people. With lots of people and semi-loud music, it's on the noisy side, but still a great spot to enjoy dinner. Bathrooms were clean. Food: + cucumber lime agua fresca - very refreshing and really enjoyed with our meal + Duck mole chalupa - mole sauce was very flavorful and tasty, duck was tender. We really liked this appetizer! + Molino's Asado - also nicely executed. The meat was tender and was on top of a bed of bean puree with salsa and green sauce. Everything was flavorful and the tortillas made a nice addition to the entree. + Elote Risotto - not as protein hearty but had a nice flavor and texture. There was a red oil on it that had a nice kick. + Dessert - flan - a great way to end our meal. Overall, we really enjoyed the food here. In our opinion, the price is a little high for the portion, but the meal was tasty and service was great, so we would be happy to come back again to try their other items or to check out their lunch options.
