I tried tacos al pastor and this is the one of the right ways of serving good authentic tacos al pastor . The Chalupa that I ordered was a little bit disappointing. I highly recommend their pastor!

Erik Rowley

Came here for lunch and was mind blown, easily one of the best Mexican restaurants in the U.S. The Taco pastor is incredible, chicken , steak , pork , they're all tastebud pleasers! Easy carry out too.

Lloyd Peters

It sounds scary. But Huitlacoche is a delicacy made from corn . Try it on a quesadilla for instant heaven! Sweet staff and aMaizeing food! It's a great place! Also added to the menu, horchata !!

I’m from Arizona and Maize is SO authentic . Fantastic food! Everything is fresh: the tortillas , chips , salsa etc. The tortillas are fantastic. Good for vegetarians / vegans too.

Kaitlyn Ellett

Omg this food is so incredible! The tortillas are phenomenal, and you really can't go wrong with any of the food. My recommendation is the quesadilla !

Azad Amir-Ghassemi

Tacos , burritos , tortas !!! (if you like spicy get the tortas ahogadas !). Chorizo , pastor, beef , veg , fish , chicken . In that order.

Lisa Hinchliffe

The best tacos . Great salsa . Mexican coke . Hope they don't lose their edge when they open the bigger space in downtown Champaign.

Matthew Malec

The al pastor burrito is so rich it tastes like chorizo . Can't even imagine what the chorizo tastes like. Endure the line , it's worth the wait.

Chicken burrito with avocado is a must. Even steak is good. Tostada is delicious, but a challenge to eat. Well worth the trouble though.

Grace Wisegarver

Really great pastor tacos . Ask for a lime with your chips and salsa . You won't regret it.

Jenny Garbe-Tanner

Order anything on the menu! It is all fantastico!!!!! Not much room to eat in (only about 7-8 seats)....but worth standing, or take it to go!

Swift Swift

Burrito was great. Pro-tip: ask for the lettuce on the side, they use too much

Joey Wheeler

The Torta Ahogada is delicious but very spicy , get a Mexican coke with it or some extra sour cream .

mike henneman

Great Food! Everything on the menu is great! The Hot Salsa Is the best!

Joe McShane

outstanding tacos . fresh ingredients . wish they had a beer to help it down, but otherwise perfection.

Marie Di Giacomo

Everything is amazing! I graduated last week and already miss it. Long live Maize!

Yvonne Fisher

Get a fried quesadilla , bite off a corner and squeeze in some lime and a spoonful of the hot salsa . Amazing!

Jared Campbell

Food was extremely favorable. Fast service . Well worth the detour off of I-74!

Molly Powell

Great prices and really friendly service ! Their spicy torta ahogada is VERY spicy , though and a bit soggy due to the sauce.

Gerardo Valerdi

Best Mexican in Champaign, get the Torta Ahogada with Horchata .
