   Our first time at Maiz Molina, and it is now a favorite! From the minute we walked in we were warmly greeted by two fabulous women who explained the menu items, gave great attention to my food allergies, and served us the most delicious authentic and creative entrees. I had the tongue tacos -outstanding!! My husband had the short rib dinner entree. AND the best tortillas I've ever had in my life. 5 ++ rating. We can't wait to go back and try the entire menu options. Extraordinary staff.

   Incredibly disappointed in our experience. We had a 10 am reservation. We arrived and ordered drinks. Drinks took 20 minutes for a coffee and michalada. Food did not arrive for an hour. There were two other tables and no one got their food until nearly 11 am. At 10:30 the server walked out of the restaurant and returned with a plastic bag and walked over to a table and told them now we can make your fruit plate because now we have fruit! Seriously? Is there any food? We could see that the kitchen was full of staff working. But absolutely no food was coming out. When our food eventually came out at 10:55 am the server put it down then asked how we were doing. We said food looks good but it’s been a very long wait. We said it has been nearly an hour. He just said: ok enjoy! Like no acknowledgement at all of the very long wait. Later when we paid he asked again how everything was. We said again that food was fine but it was a very long wait. An hour was very long time to wait. He just smiled and ignored what I said. Like seriously at least acknowledge the situation. It’s frustrating when food takes a long time but at least say something about it. Like how about sorry? We asked if the kitchen was still preparing for the day and if that was why it took so long. The server very reluctantly nodded. Like why is this place open at 10 am? The kitchen was clearly not ready for customers. Maybe have staff come in an hour early or just don’t open until 11 am because that when all the food started coming out. I’m leaving this review to give feedback to the owners/managers since the server is clearly incapable of addressing the issue even when customers try to discuss it.

   My husband and I came here for dinner after sampling their chicken tinga tacos during a street food tour. At night they offer traditional Mexican entrees, not just tacos, which is well worth it. We started with lengua tacos and they were by far the best lengua tacos we've ever tried! We also had the pork pipián and the zarandea. The flavors were beautifully balanced and the ambience was fun and comfortable. The waiter was very welcoming and helpful in explaining the types of dishes they had to offer. Couldn't recommend more.

   I think everything we ate was terrific. The menu is limited and doesn't include typical staples like tacos and burritos, but you can go elsewhere (including sister restaurants in the Maiz family here in Seattle) for those. Service was good, but it's a small dining area. Recommend, and we'd come back again.

    The food is good but very expensive. We waited 45 minutes to get our dishes. If you’re willing to wait a long time, then go there. If not, you can find the same quality and price for less wait time elsewhere
