★★★★★ 5.0 Jsilva · Oct 2025

I just ordered food to go from this restaurant through Uber Eats, and I have to say — wow! It was my first time ordering from here, and this was honestly one of the best lunches I’ve had in a long time using Uber Eats. The portion size was just right, the salmon was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the maduros were spot on. Everything in this order was simply excellent. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try — you won’t be disappointed!

I visited this Venezuelan restaurant for the first time today with a friend, and I absolutely loved it! The food was delicious — full of authentic flavors and made with care. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a great meal. A special shout-out to Alexa for her amazing service — she was super friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. It’s not easy to find places where both the food and the service stand out like this. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking to enjoy real Venezuelan food and a great dining experience!

Amazing place to eat! The food is delicious and tastes just like home-cooked meals. The portions are generous, and the place is super cozy and welcoming. Highly recommend!

You know how when you live in a place you find the local spots that completely answer your craving for a certain flavor that you need right now, at a great price, that's always perfectly consistent? White Maize is one of those places. I get the pulled chicken bowl with an extra side of plantains and I'm the happiest of happy puppies. The menu is pretty simple, good food done fast and right. The staff is lovely, friendly and accommodating. It's a bit of a hole in the wall so the atmosphere is definitely "fast food" (though we have eaten in with friends on occasion), so our typical MO is take out. If you like the ingredients, you should enjoy White Maize.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Alex yang · Mar 2026

So torn here. Used to love their food but my experience was so bad I'll never go back. Food 4/5 Honestly the food is pretty good. The empanadas are really great (particularly the beef one) and the pabellon arepa is pretty good. The tostitos are not as good imo, using a plantanos base instead of the traditional tortilla is interesting. Gives it a thicker crunch and more heft, but I think I prefer the traditional style more? Service/experience 1/5 They mixed up my order (online). I have the receipt and everything. I called to ask them about it and the woman realized and admitted her mistake, and said they'd send the rest of the order over in 20 minutes. 40 minutes later, nothing. Called again a few times, and no one picked up. Horrible experience. Used to go out of my way to visit/order f
