The Local’s Take

“Warm, chef-driven Mexican dining room”

Maíz de la Vida is a sit-down Mexican restaurant at the foot of 8th Avenue South, built around moles, hand-pressed tortillas from nixtamalized corn, seasonal plates and agave cocktails. Lunch runs daily from 11 AM to 3 PM and dinner from 5 PM. Happy hour is short and seat-specific: Monday through Friday, 5 to 6 PM, at the bar or chef's counter only, with $10 margaritas and palomas, $5 Pacifico, $6 house wine and snacks from $5 tostadas to a $10 Gulf shrimp corndog and $12 chorizo tacos. Validated parking for 90 minutes in the Prima garage.
