Maiz

Maiz brings the sunshine and soul of Mexican flavours to Peckham, with a menu that lets corn take centre stage. From crisp tortillas to hearty hominy, it’s all about texture, freshness, and lively seasoning.

Start with freshly crushed guacamole, bright with lime and coriander, scooped up with crisp corn tortilla chips. Tacos arrive on soft corn tortillas packed with punch: think grilled steak layered with fresh pico de gallo, or the crowd-favourite al pastor, featuring tender achiote-marinated pork lifted by sweet grilled pineapple and onions.

For soul-warming comfort in a bowl, the pozole options go deep. The red pozole pairs pork and hominy in a rich, smoky broth of dried chillies, finished with shredded lettuce, radishes, oregano, and a sharp squeeze of lime. Meanwhile, the green pozole teams chicken with a verdant salsa of tangy tomatillos, poblano peppers, toasted pumpkin seeds, and coriander.

Gather your crew, bring a healthy appetite, and let Maiz show you just how good authentic Mexican corn can be, one joyous bite at a time.
