has rightfully earned the prize of Best of CU’s Mexican food favorite.
Even though Maize is down a location this year after losing its spot on Green Street, its Illini Union and downtown Champaign locations have stayed strong, serving up flavorful and authentic Mexican food for the Champaign-Urbana community.
When you walk into Maize, the vibrant atmosphere draws you in with its dim lighting and attentive waiters.
The restaurant’s chips and salsa flight is a must-try, with dipping blends of varying spice levels.
Flavor overflows from Maize’s burritos alongside the complimentary chips and salsa served with each entrée. This restaurant is perfect for a quick carryout dish or a hearty meal with friends after a long day.
The steak burritos and guacamole are stand-out favorites and continuously make Maize one of C-U’s top Mexican restaurants.
Maize’s happy hour is one of the best in town, with half-off draft beer, wine and appetizers from 4-6 p.m., Monday through Friday. For accessible Mexican food and a manageable price, this is your spot.
