Amazing! The food was delicious and presented well. The service was outstanding, and the restaurant itself was very well decorated and welcoming. Our margaritas were so good, we could’ve stayed there all night. We’ll definitely be back with family and friends!

If you are in the Lockport area or don’t mind a drive for some amazing Mexican cuisine this place is for you. The atmosphere and food were fantastic and so were the drinks. We are looking forward to coming back and it’s about 45-60 drive for us, depending on traffic. We’ll worth the trip. Thank me later.

Cece Louise
This restaurant is a refreshing take on Mexican, that doesn’t lean towards dishes dripping in oil and cheese lol. The decor feels like you’re in a Cantina and livens up the mood immediately as soon as you walk in. Our server was so warm and lovely which further created great vibes. The appetizers are too good to not eat even though the entrees are BIG!! We settled on the Oaxaca lager which is such a perfect flavor for Summer. Very authentic flavors which is such a rare event for Mexican in WNY! Will definitely be back very soon .

This is such a gem tucked away in a plaza! A really great atmosphere with lots of fun decor and spacious seating in a very clean environment. The wait staff is friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The menu is full of delicious options sure to please everyone, including vegetarian options that could be modified to suit a vegan diet as well. The beverage menu offered several options that were good size for the price. Pictured below are the grilled nopal cactus tacos I ordered, which were phenomenal. I can’t wait to come back!

Have been a few times, went last night and had an amazing time. Great drinks and food, really enjoyed the Paloma and Birria tacos. Also the kids menus are white boards and they have a marker, was helpful for keeping my kids occupied a bit.

We recently had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Maizal. Andrea and the team made our night the best ever! We rented out the loft upstairs and had 21 guests. Some of our guests had allergies and dietary restrictions. The team made it super easy to accommodate everyone. The food was amazing as always. Andrea and the team were easy to work with, made our night special by decorating the tables, and really made us feel at home. If you are looking for a place to have an event, definitely check out Maizal. You won’t regret it!

Greta Biersbach
Everything was amazing. One of the food runners overheard us order queso and it was on our table before our server was finished taking the rest of our order. Very nice and attentive, and the food and margaritas were fantastic too. Also, very nice decor and atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

Ate here last week and had a really nice experience. Walking in you are immediately immersed in a new world and it feels like you are transported directly to a small “restorante” in Mexico. The decor was first rate, and the decorations for Day of the Dead were truly fantastic.

Victoria Brooks
Everything from the chips and salsa to the margaritas to the main dish was so delicious. I had the namesake margarita which was good (just to note, it has quite the smoky flavor from the mezcal). I had the Alambre tacos which were just amazing! My husband had the giant burrito, which it truly giant! I enjoyed the food, service, and atmosphere. I will be sure to return again and again!
