Maiz Molino
5-Course Revisiting Mexican Roots Tasting Event
Opened in the fall of 2022, this outstanding eatery has appeared on such 2023 Lists as Seattle Met’s “100 Best Restaurants” and Eater’s “Best Mexican in Seattle.” Chef Victoria Martin, known to all as “Vico,” has a fascinating multicultural background. Born in Baja Mexico to a Mexican mother and a Filipino father (himself a talented chef), Chef Vico graduated from a prestigious culinary school at University of Baja California, gained invaluable experience working at La Flor de la Calabaza, a renowned restaurant in her hometown of Ensenada, and founded her first restaurant, Sazon, which quickly became a local Ensenada favorite. At Maiz Molino, she offers a delightful fusion of Pacific Northwest ingredients enlivened with Mexican/Filipino influences. Here you will find housemade tortillas, gorditas, tamale dough, and other masa-based dishes using some of the 60 varieties of heirloom corn that has been grown in Mexico for generations. The protein ranges from chicken tinga to pork carnitas to beef adobado and more. It’s all incredibly authentic—and delicious. We are really excited to visit here!
