Maíz has opened another location in Ballard–Maíz Taquería. And it’s worth a visit if you’re in the mood for an easy lunch with some memorable Mexican food. Unlike the tiny Pike Place location, there is plenty of sit-down seating inside and outside on the papel picado-decorated patio. Even though Maíz has a full menu of tortas and tasty chilaquiles, the real reason you’ll be veering off 15th Avenue are the tacos. They’re made on those same soft and pliable nixtamalized tortillas Maiz has built a reputation for. Out of all the filling options, make sure the tacos with a hearty mash of chorizo and potatoes, ones with peppery sweet birria, and a few with shrimp under crema-dressed slaw hit your table.
