White Maize +

I want to like this place so bad, but I’m just unsure. I’ve been here three times, once for lunch and twice for takeout. Let’s start with the good: it’s close to my apartment, they have good gluten free options and seem to be knowledgeable, and when the food is right it boarders on good/fine but I’ve had better. I usually get the plantain, bean, avo arepa and it’s different every time. It’s kinda bland if I’m being honest, and the most recent time I had it, there were no brands but severely undercooked mushrooms. This place is also VERY overpriced. Especially their weekend brunch which I accidentally stumbled in on. The wait time is also always outrageous.

Amazing food. & celiac/gluten-free friendly!!

YUM!! The empanada was like a little pillow of flavor, the plantain and cheese one was fantastic and sweet but great with the green salsa. The tostones would have been great fresh (not their fault as my uber took forever) and the guac was flavorful!
