Finally! The much-anticipated new location is open. Although there's nothing wrong with the original location, it's oftentimes pretty packed and can be tricky to find seating. That is definitely not an issue with the new location though.
The new location is nestled in downtown Champaign just off the main drag. It has ample seating and a full bar, something the old location did not have. Their watermelon margarita seems to be one of their staples already and was delicious. They also have (at least when I went) a mexican style beer on draft that Triptych made for them and it was incredibly well done.
The food menu seems to be the same as the old location, which I'm perfectly okay with. You still get your standard chips and salsa and it's just as good as the original location's. Everything we had was amazing, the food was so, so good. They do an outstanding job with everything that they do.
I can't say enough good things about Maize, both new and old locations, but this new one brings some much needed elements with the increase in seating and full bar. I can't recommend this place enough.
