MAIZE AREPAS & BAR

The creation of former Procter & Gamble logistics and financial coordinator turned marketer Angel Batista and Queen City Radio co-founder Louisa Reckman, Maize is a Venezuelan restaurant with Caribbean flair. A good portion of the menu is corn-based and thus gluten-free. This includes a menu of empañadas stuffed with ingredients like shredded chicken tossed in sofrito, Caribbean-style shredded pork, Venezuelan-style shredded beef and Venezuelan hand cheese. The menu also includes arepas and cachapas, similar dishes of corn cakes stuffed with ingredients.
