Tacos amazingIn Mexico, tacos are sacred—a culinary legacy shaped by generations. Traditional taquerías begin each day with fresh hand-pressed corn tortillas, made from masa harina (nixtamalized corn dough) and cooked on a comal until lightly charred. The fillings are prepared with reverence
Quesadillas
Mexican Southern DelightBorn in central and southern Mexico, quesadillas trace their roots to Aztec cuisine, where corn tortillas were filled with squash and herbs. After Spanish colonization, the introduction of dairy brought Oaxaca cheese (quesillo)—the melty, stringy star of modern quesadillas.

The Anatomy of a HuaracheImagine if a pizza and a taco had a baby—meet the huarache (wa-RAH-chay), a must-try Mexican street food named for its sandal-like shape. Built on a thick, crispy-yet-chewy corn base, it’s piled high with beans, meat, fresh veggies, and creamy toppings. Let’s break down what makes this handheld masterpiece so addictive.
The Foundation: Corn BaseOur masa dough is nixtamalized using ancestral techniques, pressed thick like the sandal it's named after, then griddled to crispy perfection - the sturdy canvas for all flavors.
The Soul: Refried BeansSlow-cooked bayo beans smashed with epazote herb, spread warm as the 'glue' that bonds toppings to base - adding earthy depth to every bite.
The Crown: Your Choice of MeatFrom smoky carne asada to tender tinga chicken, the protein sits regally atop the huarache - the jewel of this edible throne.
The Freshness BrigadeCrisp shredded lettuce, pungent white onion, and bright cilantro leaves - the crisp counterpoint to rich meats and cheeses.:quality(75)/sites/default/files/images/2023/09/como-hacer-queso-con-1-litro-de-leche.jpg)
The Dairy DuoQueso fresco crumbles bring salty brightness while melted Oaxaca cheese delivers gooey satisfaction - a textural yin and yang.
The Final FlourishCool crema drizzle and your choice of salsa (verde for tang, roja for heat) - the flavor conductors orchestrating each component.

Because Every Bite Tells a Story
“Just WOW. This food is QUALITY! We found Maiz while attending an event at the winery Jessie's Grove in Lodi. The birria is sooooo good. The huaraches are to die for. Service is so friendly. I love how they show on their signage the regions in Mexico that the types of meat they serve originate from. Highly recommend!!”
Morgan M.“The hand-pressed tortillas were so incredible. Great service. I got the huaraches, street tacos, and quesadilla. Definitely getting birria next time. Total surprise, as good as it gets!”
Dane O.“Excellent street tacos served by Maiz @ Movement Brewing. Carne Asada tacos cooked to perfection. Great way to welcome in the New Year. We'll be back for more.”
Eric H.“Man this place is AMAZING!!! My friend and I seek them out when they are at Logoff brewing in Rancho Cordova. Their tacos and salsa and beyond delicious. We get 4, then shake our heads when we order 3 more (why not just admit you need 7 tacos???). So So So good. Asking them to cater our rehearsal dinner, we love them that much.”
