It is nice but very expensive. After their suggested tip, the bill came to $68 for three starter tacos, 2 medium rail margaritas and a beer. It was a casual stop at the bar for a quick drink on the way homeOur server was good as was the food but it seriously lacked value.

This was our third time here for lunch. I always get the chicken chili and it's enough for me! A five dollar lunch isnt bad at all. This is the second time we came for Rachels next door and ended up at Maise instead. The place is practically a ghost town. Sure, there is room for improvement but I would go back again. Today my husband's chimichanga was fried to crisp perfection and we liked the red sauce on the enchilada.

Thought it was going to be a decent place. First visit went well Did dine in twice and take out twice. the next 3 visits were horrible all the way around, poor service, food was incorrect all 3 times.Not going to try again!

I was pretty disappointed. It wasn't bad by any means, but it certainly wasn't GOOD. I got the grilled corn, the queso blanco, and the corn and crab bisque. The grilled corn and queso were alright but the queso was lacking in flavor and both could have used any amount of salt.My real problem was with the "bisque." It had plenty of corn and crab in it, but it was more of a crab and corn dip than a bisque. A bisque should be a liquid right? The crab as a sort of garnish on top was great, but the "bisque" was thick, I could have eaten it with a fork just as easily, the spoon was unnecessary.It was fine. Not bad, certainly not great. Just fine.It's a shame I wasn't there for dinner, it looked like they had good margs.

Maize is terrible at worst, mediocre at best. From bland guacamole to stale tortilla chips they don't seem to be trying. The chicken tacos were equally flavorless. I would avoid this "Mexican cuisine" at all costs.

We did not eat. So 3 stars has nothing to do with food. Stopped in around 9 on a Sat night. Pretty empty. Bar tender was nice and drinks were good, but someone had clearly thrown up in the men's room and it was not cleaned up. When I brought it to their attention they did nothing at all about it. It was pretty weird. This is just an honest review of the facts.

First time here. The server, when we asked questions about different items and what they came with had no idea and kept saying to 'read the menu' and wasnt even sure what page to look at. The little burnette hostess was less than helpful when we sat down. She didn't say a word to us. Then, she was upfront at the front host stand on her phone, and lifting her shirt and rubbing her belly and posing like she was pregnant (point of that is the immaturity of lifting shirt while working). Our drinks, just two house margaritas, didn't come out till after our dinner came. And our appetizer came at the same time as our dinner as well. Dirty dishes were left in our table even though the server stopped by to check on us, she didn't anything with her.THE FOOD IS AMAZING! GOOD JOB KITCHEN! I would work on training the staff on the floor to be professional, and personable. If you're coming here, get take out. Enjoy the food and skip the poor service.

The chips and salsa was amazing and their $5 margaritas were a very good value. This was not our favorite local Mexican place but the overall experience was a good one.
The best street corn and steak tacos in Central Pennsylvania. Service was immaculate and prices are great! I will DEFINITELY be back! Thank you Maize, you were perfect!

A great place! We have done take-out and dine-in. Our take-out experiences are usually great. Dine-in has not been as great. So I would recommend take-out if trying to decide between the two.

Altho seated promptly, young hostess slaps menus & wrapped utensils in a pile on our table. Ok, a bit abrupt perhaps but not quite rude. Not 15 seconds later our waiter appears with chips & salsa and wants to talks our drink order. Ok, give us a moment to open our drink menus having barely unwrapped the utensils. "I'll be right back"... not a good sign. Never did as he was busy entertaining the hostesses. After 5-10 minutes we had to request his return. Beers & appetizer came promptly (server) and were cold & hot, respectively. Good so far. Just as we were getting started or waiter returns requesting a dinner order..which we deferred knowing we'd have 2 additional plates of food after only barely starting the appi. Dinner subsequently ordered, delivered hot in under 5 min (as expected). Wife had a filled taco-,fair at best. My veggie burrito was really a bean burrito as there were barely any veggies and the few I could find tasted like they were dipped in salt. The entree was inedible. Both plates were scarcely broached and the waiter on returning said NOTHING when told we were done. Wasn't worth making the point after all the above. The beers were good! Appi Carlotta Dip-tasty. Entrees- Horrid. Service- inexperienced and unacceptable. Won't return. Sad.

This isnt nothing authentic at all. Ordered “enchiladas” and they put a tomato paste on top… Bruhhhh that’s nowhere close to Mexican! Atleast hire a real Mexican to make y’all some decent salsa not the store bought one. Sorry but my experience was horrible. Waitress was even hungover ?
