Maiz’s grand opening takes place on Tuesday with nixtamalized tortillas and Day of the Dead ofrendas, plus more intel
New tortilla shop Maiz opens Tuesday, November 2, at Pike Place Market, starting with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 10 a.m., a Dia de los Muertos celebration, and live Mariachi band this evening. Opening in the former Mexican grocery store at 1914 Pike Place next to Starbucks, Maiz offers nixtamal tortillas and antojitos (smaller bites like tacos and tamales).
Nixtamalization is a traditional Central American method for making fresh tortillas with heirloom corn. The tortilleria is a new restaurant from owners of Mexican restaurant Sazon, Aldo Góngora, his wife Angelica, and sister-in-law Roxana Martin.
