Maiz Colombian Street Food - Portland

We live two hours away and would come to portland, only for these arepas. the beans and cheese is delicious and the yucca arepita are little padded joys. the dips are creatiw and excellent and the interieur is really well decorated and welcoming. would they like to try more of the menu next time we are in the city!

Loved the vegan arepas, a little messy, but delicious. Also, love the outdoor seating in the summer.

While not everything was vegan everything could be made vegetarian and through their changing menu the day I went there were two vegan options for entrees and 1 for appetizers and several more of each could very easily be made vegan and they are now apparently working on having vegan desserts in there desert

It was such a treat to even find an arepa in Portland, but even better to find such tasty ones at Maiz. They are located on the second floor of the public house, and there are several options for casual dining here. The arepa are filled with a variety of toppings... they have a vegan option with chickpeas and cauliflower or a vegetarian one filled with cheese. They also have a yummy vegan cilantro sauce. I didn’t try their coffee, but they appear to have a nice selection of espresso based drinks.

Vegan option clearly labeled—arepa stuffed with cauliflower, chickpeas, tomatoes, onions and avocado. Super yummy! Have 3 sauces to choose from but only the cilantro sauce is vegan. (It’s a tasty sauce, I’ve really started to dislike cilantro for some reason lately but this sauce was tangy and not too cilantro-y! You get a good size for the price and it’s really filling. Would highly recommend.
