    We have an excellent dinner at Maiz. The margaritas were really good, all the dishes were authentic and tasted delicious. The standout dish was the pulpo, it was so tender and the dish had great flavour combinations. The dessert was the only dish we didn't rave about, it tasted like a granola bar with some strawberries and yogurt. Maybe it was an off night! maybe we didn't choose well? It wouldn't stop me from returning though. The customer service was great, and all in all, a lovely evening at reasonable prices.

    The service and food at MuMian was excellent. The location is a small 100m walk to the ICC. We dined there twice before shows that were on at the ICC. They food came quickly and was so good. Highly recommend MuMian, we will dine there again. PS they had great cocktails too!!!
