Received wrong order after the sales person had confirmed they had made a chicken burrito instead of the steak burrito. Got home only to be dissapointed that the burrito was wrong even after they had confirmed and it's not like they were super busy to get the order correctly the 1st time! If you buy there verify your food is correct before leaving.

Few seats available so most people do takeouts. Great food. Horrible service. Don’t even want to talk about it.

I don’t understand how this place gets good reviews. The taco are really average. Meat is very dry. I didn’t even get salsa. There are way better tacos I have had at some food trucks. They charge 7 dollars for a side guacamole which is a super tiny portion! So I spent over 16 dollars for 2 tacos!! That’s a rip off!

Beef Taco is whopping $4.50 each, and it actually tasted worse than most taco truck/restaurant(s) (costs $2.50-3 each). I would position here as medium in taste among all Mexical restaurants in Urbana/Champaign. I would only go here in pinch, as the service was extremely fast.
The vegetarian options are great. Vegetarian dishes offer niche options like zucchini blossoms and corn mushroom, which taste amazing and quite different from what most other Mexican places offer.

Limited selection of meat, ok food, nice staff. Al pastor tasted like sloppy joe, the asada was great. they charge extra for extra salsa (which is fine) however they don’t ask what kind you want with your food, so maybe tell them when you order so you don’t have to pay for what you actually wanted.

This place is in downtown Urbana, which might explain why it's a bit crowded. They have only two regular parking spots available. Inside, it's quite compact, but they've cleverly utilized a wall table that surrounds the main room. Instead of booths, they have bar stools. The water they served was lukewarm and without ice. However, what stands out the most is the fantastic food. I ordered the Mega Tlacoya, and it was unlike anything I've ever tasted at a Mexican restaurant. It's generously topped with cilantro. Despite some drawbacks, the excellent food makes it worth a visit overall.

I have drove many-a-miles along Illinois and one thing is for certain, Maize Mexican Grill is the best Mexican food in the entire state.Whether you have decent parking in the middle of summer looking to impress your sweetie with the best in the Midwest.Oryou’re just trying to enjoy a break from the pumpkin spice latte and college hooliganism, you stop and have the best damn Mexican food you don’t deserve….Maize…The beacon of light no one deserves, but it’s here and it’s here for us to enjoy god damnit. Don’t squalor! Life is short and you need to reward yourself with the best! You passed your final exam?Maize is there to reward you.You get ghosted and it ain’t even Halloween? BAM! Maize is always there on Green Street. For you.There’s a lot of things you may forget between the partying and crunch time for exams. Maize Mexican Grill won’t be one of them.

The food and service here was great. Marisol helped us and was very nice! The chicharron Gordita was exceptional! The horchata slushy is so unique and very good.
Great place for Mexican food! It’s a little on the pricey side but you are definitely paying for quality!
