“ Hijo del Maíz hits the mark for authentic Mexican dining in Madrid. The decor transports you with its rustic charm, heavy on stone and wood, crafting a traditional vibe. The Coctel Mixto kicks off the meal with a spicy yet satisfying punch, perfect for spice enthusiasts but still approachable for others. The Enchiladas with Green Sauce, are generously stuffed with chicken, offering a hearty and filling experience. Dessert, a notably fluffy Cheesecake with Dates accompanied by ice cream and cream, is a delight, though beware of its size if you've already indulged in the earlier courses. Value for money is spot on here, with portions and taste that more than justify the cost. The service is commendable – polite and patient, even as closing time approaches. There's a minor mismatch with the pop music soundtrack not aligning with the ambiance, and a small practical hiccup with the men's bathroom doors.
