I don't think I've ever left a review if they don't ask me but this place absolutely deserves it. Came for a quick two day dentist visit and stayed at the hotel across the street. I like to try new places since I love Mexican food, but the quality and flavor of the food is just as amazing as the service by Ulises, Arturo and Francisco and rest of the staff. Very dedicated people, so I came both days, and can't decide which dish was best. Will come back again, amazing Mexican food!

Our local friends brought us here and we liked it so much that we came back a second time during our one week vacation. This was our favorite meal(s) all week! Don’t miss this restaurant!! Our server Francisco was fantastic. The chef Julisus was so kind and friendly.

We came to maiz tinto on day 1 of our trip and haven’t been able to match this experience yet. The best salsa and cocktails we’ve ever had! (Better than some of the bars that are on the world’s best bars list imo) Really yummy and tender meat in the tacos and lovely service. A must try if you’re in Mexico City!

This place was great! The food was amazing and we got it pretty quickly. There was only one server working while we are there, and there were a couple of other occupied tables, but he was reasonably quick. There was indoor seating that looked really nice but they also had a little section of the street with some tables and it had a really nice atmosphere, especially in the evening.

You’ve got to go to Maiz Tinto! It’s Mexican food with an exquisite twist of international ingredients brought from their origin. I’m sincerely obsessed with their fish, but honestly, everything is excellent. They have fantastic handmade tortillas; most of their wines are Mexican and delicious. Chef Ulises Palafox has a global experience worthy of your friends and your time. Besides, the prices are great. Let me know know what you think.

The food was exquisite and the service was excellent. The chef came to our table and recommended the dishes that best fit our palate. They were very supportive of our vegetarian diet and also created speciality cocktails for us. The food itself not only had high quality presentation but also phenomenal taste and flavors. Highly recommend this restaurant for all!
