I biked over there 2 weeks ago on a saturday night and found it closed. i thought it odd, but decided it was an anomaly. I biked over there again tonight and found a restaurant named "Maya" in place of Maiz. The menu was limited, as they sold two kinds of Burritos, 2-3 kinds of tamales, and 3-4 kinds of tacos. That was pretty much it. It looks like I lost my chance to taste Maiz's pupusas. Anyone know what happened to them?

Too bad they were really nice folks and sometimes the food was very good. I think that thier demise leaves only Plantano (moldy land) on University for El Salvadorean in Berkley.
