The Maiz was great. Very quaint little spot for a quick bite to eat after strolling the side walks. Everything is gluten free and so many options. This was my first Columbian sandwich like this. The sandwich was packed full, and the hardest part was trying to figure out how to eat it. It was so much wider than my mouth could open. There are many different sauces, but I choose the cilantro. I love cilantro but have never had a cilantro paste like this, but it was awesome. The place is very spacious and clean but not set up for large groups. The staff was very friendly.

WOW. Wish we had tried this sooner! Amazing flavors, generous portions, and the sauces were out of this world. Try the Arepas! The menu offers first time diners enough help to make confident choices and the staff members were equally helpful!

Update Oct 2023 - Still great food and great staff. If you haven't been yet, what are you waiting for?
Update, April 2023 - They have a new bar manager with expanded offerings. Food is still great!
This is the new Brunswick restaurant I've been waiting for.
If you've been asking what's new, different and delicious to have for dinner, the Columbian street food at Maiz is the answer.
Delicious, reasonably priced, and friendly service. My wife and I have been twice so far and haven't yet found something on the menu we haven't loved.
Enjoy!

Some of the best, if not the best latino food in Maine. And gluten free friendly!! They have another location in Portland, both sell frozen food that can be cooked at home and it always comes out perfectly. If you dine in, you HAVE to get a filled arepa and a platano maduro. You'll thank me later. Make sure to grab a bag of pan de bono for home on your way out.

Was beyond perfect!!!! I got two of there Arepas (garlic lovers and the veggie one)
I was absolutely loved the garlic one, chicken was juicy and tender, cheese was perfectly melted, spinach was fresh. Had a great garlic flavor was wonderful without being to much.
I was unable to to try the veggie one from being stuffed from the first one. I also got a guava just that was delicious, tamarin juice was good as well. We got a table full of food and all of it was out of this world!!!! Finally authentic and delicious cultural food in Maine. Can't wait to go back

We have tried Maiz twice now and both times have been great! The folks who take your order are always helpful and offer suggestions if you aren’t familiar with the menu. The arepas and empanadas are delicious!

Overstuffed, messy arepas. The sauces are good.
The bean one tasted like like it was filled with a can of unseasoned black beans.
The cheese one was burnt.
Columbian chorizo was the best out of everything.
The chicharrones were super chewy like leather. They were almost to the point of being inedible.
And the bar? I question why they even have a bar tender. All their drinks are premixed or canned.
Great new spot for delicious food and drinks. Everyone is very helpful to explain the authentic cuisine. Beer is a local selection (good choices). I suggest ordering extra dessert to take home.
