Maiz De La Vida

Maiz De La Vida began when Chef Julio Hernandez used a stimulus check during the pandemic to start making tortillas in his garage. After catching a break when popular East Nashville bar Chopper partnered with what was then the Maize De La Vida food truck, the chef's fantastic Mexican street-style food took off garnering critical acclaim and gaining many fans on the way. In 2024 Maiz De La Vida opened their first fully operating brick and mortar in The Gulch shown here. This location brings their award winning Mexican cuisine into a modern environment great for all occasions.
