Treat your taste buds to a fiesta of flavours at Maiz Mexican Street Food on King Street in Newtown. Renowned for all-day brunch, this eatery pushes the perception of Mexican fare by celebrating a wide range of corn dishes that you won’t find on many menus. There are no tacos or burritos to be seen as Maiz serves up bold and fresh flavours from Mexico’s street food culture, such as sopes (thick corn tortillas), tlacoyos (bean-filled flatbread), quesadillas, chilaquiles (corn chips with topping) and tortas. Perhaps order wild-caught sardines on blue corn flatbread, with peas, yoghurt, radish, mint, cucumber and chilli ancho oil; or say arriba to a freshly baked roll, filled with beef brisket, scrambled eggs, pico de gallo, mayo and pepita salsa macha, washed down with a chilled juice.
