The Weekender: November 13-15

Celebrate flauta Friday, Maize on Neil, 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., $10. It’s flauta Friday, or at least I’m saying it should be. This town has a lot of good flautas, and my favorites are the potato and queso ones at Maize. It’s one of four kinds of flautas at The Station and the new Neil Street location, and practically there’s no excuse not to get crunchin’ on Maize’s deep-fried handmade corn tortillas every Friday.
