Hijos del Maiz – Midland – Menu

Hijos del Maíz brings the vibrant flavors of Mexico to the Kimber Lea Shopping Center at 3408 N Midkiff Rd, Midland—right next door to Honey Donuts, Kungfu China Express, and Café Unique. Stepping inside, you’ll immediately notice the aroma of fresh-made tortillas and slow‑simmered sauces, all crafted by a family dedicated to sharing the authentic tastes of their homeland. Bright Talavera plates showcase heirloom‑corn specialties alongside classic eggs‑and‑beans breakfasts, Mexican‑style pancakes and heartier brunch plates, making Higos del Maíz as welcoming in the morning as it is at dinner.

Start your day with one of their legendary Breakfast Burritos (eggs, bacon or chorizo, cheese and your choice of beans wrapped in a warm flour tortilla) or dig into the Aztecas—a skillet‑baked huevos rancheros dish layered over rustic potatoes, with pico de gallo, crema and melty queso. For something truly unique, try the Emmoladas: tender corn tortillas bathed in mole poblano, then topped with sesame seeds and fresh cheese. And of course, there’s a Craft‑Your‑Own Omelette station, plus sweet Corn Pancakes or Churro‑drizzled Breakfast Pancakes if you’re in the mood for something playful.

When lunchtime rolls around, the menu shifts into full flavor‑festival mode. Hand‑pressed Gordita and Tlayuda boards groan under asada, barbacoa, carnitas or chile verde; Quesadillas de Villa Ahumada are stuffed with melting queso menonita; and the legendary Costras—crispy tortilla crusts heaped with bistek, pastor or camarón and finished with chipotle crema—draw regulars back again and again. Don’t miss the appetizer lineup, from bubbling Queso Fundido with fresh mushrooms to guacamole tossed with crispy tripitas, or the rich Pozole and hearty Birria de Res in the Caldos section. For seafood fans, Ceviche de Pescado and Coctel de Mariscos let you taste the Gulf Coast right here in Midland.

Hijos del Maíz is open seven days a week—8 AM to 10 PM Monday through Thursday (and again Sunday), with late‑night hours extending until midnight on Friday and Saturday. Call ahead at (432) 901‑7557 or just wander in; whether you’re craving a comforting plate of Chilaquiles or a zesty plate of Costras de Camarón, this is the spot where traditional recipes meet genuine hospitality. Come hungry, leave happy—and don’t forget to say “hola” to the family behind the counter.
