  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Healthy
  • Neighbourhood gem
Nestled in the heart of Houston’s West University neighborhood at 6119 Edloe Street, Maximo is a progressive Mexican restaurant from the Local Foods Group team that combines authenticity and adventure. Nearly everything is done in house under Executive Chef Adrian Torres with mentorship from Local Foods Group Creative & Culinary Director Seth Siegel-Gardner. Nixtamalized tortillas are just the start; corn kernels are boiled, soaked and ground into masa, imparting maximum flavor into a dedicated masa section on the menu featuring sopes, tetelas and even cornbread, along with a list of ever-changing taco options. Shareable plates, from crudos and salads to entrees and desserts, entice guests to explore. The restaurant is open Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 4 - 9 p.m. for dinner service and Friday through Sunday from 11 a.m. - 9 p.m. for brunch and dinner service.

    This restaurant just reopened with a new menu by their inventive chef and the food is a sensory sensation. The four of us shared many of the different dishes, most of which are meant for sharing. From the oysters to some of the small plates and tacos, to an entree. We loved almost everything we tried. A few dishes have some heat so be sure to ask if you are sensitive to that. This is not Tex-Mex, many dishes are inspired by Oaxacan cuisine, but all of it is good. Everyone is very pleasant and helpful also. A real treat!
