Maria Rangel
Maiz

Hola! Soy Maria.

“Proud of the woman I am! Proud of the little ladies I am raising! Proud of us women creating our own pathIt’s a fight, but we are doing it. I celebrate all the beautiful Femmes!”

My name is Maria Rangel, a Colorado native, raised by my father, who instilled in me a deep love for cooking. I grew up savoring dishes smothered in rich red chile or pork green chili. Maiz was created to share the love of gorditas and comfort foods with others.
