Putting a modern spin on tried-and-true Mexican cuisine, Maiz 64 recently opened in Logan Circle, just moments from your apartment near Seward Square DC. At this fine-dining destination—which claims to be the first of its kind in DC—you can expect a delicious marriage of innovation and tradition, as the owners strive to create an unforgettable culinary experience for their customers.

Drawing inspiration from the 64 varieties of corn native to the Americas, the menu emphasizes local ingredients and unique flavors and textures. Some early standouts on the menu include the tuna tostada, Mayan chicken breast, and the sopa Azteca. Be sure to save room for desserts like churros, fresas con crema, and cafe de olla and chocolate. Wash it all down with a craft cocktail as you enjoy the eatery’s upscale yet comfortable atmosphere, complete with contemporary dining chairs and lighting, modern artwork, and a bar accented by blue tile and exposed brick.
