"I loved the music and atmosphere here! What a gem of calm and comfort along the busy road of life! I was treated like a good friend or family and this was my first time ever having Columbian food. I had no idea what an arepa was, or what the rolls would taste like, or the sauces, tea or desserts. I was totally blown away by all of it! I had the veggie arepa with spicy green sauce, the tea that tastes a little like it's mixed with lemonade, and DDL lover (dulce de leches) for dessert. 5 out of 5 on every item, including the bathroom and free water available in the dining area. I'm on the road a lot for work and it can be hard to find a clean restroom and access to water. Maiz ticked all the boxes all the way! I've gone from first timer to customer for life! Muchas Gracias!Kid-friendliness: I'm looking forward to bringing my whole family back for a meal!"

Arepas are a new favorite. A little messy but we’ll worth it.

We loved the arepas and the sauce. Look forward to returning to Portland to try another arepas.

A good variety of options but not a lot of flavor. Good options for gluten free. Good to have a different type of food available.

WOW this was a fantastic meal. We bought arepas and they did not disappoint! We shared several, and my favorite was the Basico with chicken. There is not a lot of space to eat inside, but takeout is easy too.

We tried many of the items on the menu.. Everything was fried and many of the items were salty. There is minimal seating i would recommend you order to go. The tres leches cake was the best part of the meal.Food: 3/5 View menu

You could choose whatever ingredients you want or pick one of the menu items. There were only a couple of vegan menu items. Tasted good and the honey sweetened sodas were great! The arepas were large and difficult to eat.

Found this gem on our way back to Boston from Acadia. A pretty and cute little place with amazing food. It was our first time trying the arepas. We had the one with grilled chicken and a veggie loaded arepa. Loved them both and the portions are huge and filling. The sauces we tried were the cilantro, spicy greens and the Sweet and spicy red sauce which was our favorite. We also loved the music playing in the background. Overall had a great experience.We also tried the drink which was a green tea with sugarcane juice and lime juice , it was delicious.Street parking is available and restrooms were clean as well.Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options.Parking: Street parking allowed for on...
