Monday nights are for the pitch ⚽

Chef Adrian and the Maximo crew are looking for fresh competition. Think your squad can take us? Slide into our DMs and let’s do this!

P.S. That half-gallon YETI isn't team-exclusive. Grab one at the restaurant for $60, with $40 frozen marg fills 🙌

This duo to start your evening: Squash Blossom Tetela + our Maxi-Tini. Sip, bite, repeat.

No shortcuts.

Twice each week, Chef Adrian and his team start the day extra early to begin soaking corn kernels for the nixtamalization process.

The next day, they grind it down into masa before pressing it into tortillas and other menu staples.

All this work leads to a richer flavor and aroma and a soft, tender texture.

Watch Cindy work her magic with the Clara 🍍 We take mezcal, fresh mint, pineapple and lime, and turn it into this crystal-clear sip—fresh, tropical and smooth.

Getting the local lowdown from the man behind the menu 🏙️

Chef Adrian took a break from the kitchen for a quick-fire round on his Houston essentials—from the date night spots that never miss to where he eats when he’s off the clock.

Shout out to Taqueria El Novillo, El Rincon de Chavita, and H-E-B! 🙌

Just add fire 🔥

Fresh, sweet and juicy, this veggie gets a smoky upgrade into corn ribs, finished with chipotle mayo, cotija and crunchy pepitas.

The perfect shareable side dish doesn't exi—oh wait, yes it does.

Huge shout out to Texas Monthly and José R. Ralat for including us in this feature on the evolution of tasting menus in Mexican cuisine; our version of the "leave it up to you" omakase experience!

We love that our chef-driven, five-course feast is being recognized as both a creative outlet and an extra-accessible way to experience the very best of Maximo.

First it's sweet, then it's spicy, then you're going back for more of our Tiradito de Hamachi 🍓

• Buttery yellowtail
• Strawberry three ways (ponzu, pickled and fresh)
• Chili de arbol + black lime

It’s bright and bold—basically summer on a plate.

🎬 The best chefs never stop being students. For Chef Adrian Torres, it's a two-way street with his team: "I’m gonna learn from you, and you're gonna learn from me."

It's that mindset, and the people who follow it, that keep Maximo constantly evolving.

Our culinary team loves to play soccer on Mondays, facing off against other restaurant teams. They have the gear to prove it, and now you can get some of their gear, too.

Bringing that big brunch energy with our smoked pork belly 🥓

We're talking thick-cut, and dangerously addictive.

Swimming in salsa ranchera, topped with seared queso panela with a pickled Fresno kick, this brunch dish is served with house-made flour tortillas to tame the heat.

Catch it Saturday-Sunday from 11-3.
