| - This was the first time I have been to this location (by Black Dog - champaign). It seems to be fairly bland (undecorated) because they have just moved in. But, the food was the reason I came here, so that is what I will comment on. I have been to Maize many times in the other location (1st and green), the menu here seems to be the same.
I decided to try something new. I forgot the name of the item, but if you refer to my picture, it is basically a sandwich that is sitting in a plate of soup. It tastes exactly how it looked, a soggy sandwich in spicy soup. The sandwich itself was simple and fresh (onions, carnitas, cilantro, cheese, beans). The soup however, was strong in flavor, spicy and salty. The pair just did not go well together. My sandwich was all soggy on the bottom and dry on the top. The spiciness of the soup overtook the flavor of the sandwich.
Although my soup-sandwich was something to avoid, Maize offers many different types of foods that are delightful. I would recommend the burritos or gorditas! Maize's small but delicious menu is a university student favorite place for quick bite.
