Nestled within Northgate Market, Maizano offers a vibrant dining escape with authentic Mexican plates crafted by Chef Alan Sanz, featuring everything from cochinita pibil to inventive tasting menus.
"It’s easy to get lost in the Mexican food wonderland of Mercado González. Certainly spend an hour or so perusing the puestos and nibbling on choice morsels, but eventually head to Maizano for a proper sit-down meal. As the only full-service experience in the sprawling emporium, Maizano serves regional plates from the Mexican states of Yucatán, Puebla, and Oaxaca, focusing on the magic of masa. Every dish under chef Alan Sanz’s watch is thoughtfully composed and highly shareable, including the chicharron del parque with blue fin tuna and the silky mole blanco with broccolini, chayote, and sprinkling of grasshoppers." - Eater Staff
"Every meal at Maizano in Costa Mesa celebrates the adaptability and deliciousness of corn, including for dessert. The panque de elote is a study in contrasting textures with a warm corn cake sauced with popcorn cream tableside." - Cathy Chaplin, Eater Staff
"Maizano’s offers a laid-back atmosphere with freshly griddled tortillas and mole blanco made from nearly two dozen ingredients, including hazelnuts, pine nuts, green apple, and cauliflower. The mole has a velvety texture and subtle sweetness with lingering heat." - Eater Staff
"And in case you thought Mercado Gonzalez had enough going on, there’s also Maizano—a sit-down restaurant from the Loreto and Cha Cha Chá folks. Maizano serves dishes from Puebla, Oaxaca, and Yucatán, like cochinita pibil, birria-stuffed tetelas, and deboned chicken legs bathed in pipián verde. As an added bonus, the space has a separate bar concept called Entre Nos pouring mezcal flights and margaritas. " - Sylvio Martins
"The market will also house the previously announced fine dining restaurant Maizano and cocktail bar Entre Nos from Javier Hernandez Pons and Jorge Salim, two of the partners behind LA Cha Cha Chá and Loreto." - Matthew Kang
