Incredibly delicious and fresh Latin food, served Chipotle/Cava style! They have bowl, arepas, etc and vegetarian and vegan options! Fair prices for big, tasty bowls. Do yourself a favor and try Maizal, you won’t regret it!!!

THIS IS NOT CHIPOTLE.. if you are looking to taste flavors of different Latin America Countries, this is the place. 1-Arepas 100%Recommended. 2-Make your own bowl: Be aware that this is not CHIPOTLE, so do not expect the same flavors or quantities. But it tastes delicious. 3-Empanadas and Yucas 80% recommended. Do not forget that this food is not industrial, so it looks like it is made at home.

The food was delicious and the workers were very patient, as it was my first time dining in at Maizal. The service was also great! Thank you Maizal! I will definitely be coming back!

The food here is always great. It definitely brings Latin to American style food. The nachos are my favorite but the burritos are amazing. And the bowls they make are delicious as well. Dry nice selection and the prices are great

Everything I’ve ordered there so far has been really good. The staff was really helpful, shoutout to the guy who took the time to recommend his favorites. The burrito enchilada and pollo bowl is incredible. So are the enchiladas. For the price and the quantity you get, it hands down beats chipotle and all the other fast casual places

A solid choice for some good tasty hot food! There's tons of choices, I was drawn in though by the array of arepa coffee, and I was not disappointed. I got the "La Inka" and "Buenos Aires," and let me tell you, both were delicious, and the aioli on the "La Inka" stuck with me all day in a good way

The food is ok. Is fast food restaurant in a food court. Good option if you want to try something different.

The food selections are slighty similar to Chipotle and Cava with fresh ingredients that are prepared well. Customization of the bowl was enjoyable and I appreciate that quinoa is a selection at Maizal. Portions vary by attendant; fortunately mine was quite generous . Will definitely stop by again if I'm in the area.
