Pica Pica Maize Kitchen

Oxbow Public Market
Napa, California

Occasion: Birthday brunch.  We started our morning at the oxbow public market for some grub! 03/09.12

I know they have this in the city, but there's just something about having it at oxbow public market that makes it more enjoyable.  Perhaps it's the fact that it's like a food court here and you can order from various food places.

pulled pork, sliced tomatoes, avocado slices on a sweet pancake maize bread 

I've tried the beef maizewich before and I absolutely fell in love and knew that whatever I ordered here I'd like.  Pulled pork was a little bit on the dry side, but it was so good with the sweet pancake maize bread as recommended by the person who took our order.  I just loved the sweetness of the maize bread with the flavorful and savory pulled pork.  The buttery avocado goodness also adds flavor and a soft creamy texture to balance out the dryness of the pork and the bread.  I can't wait to try something different on the menu the next time I come here.

Maize'wich: sweet cornbread with pernil filling that consists of: pulled pork, sliced tomatoes, avocado and aoli on the side

Delicious!! First time ever having food like this and I loved it.  I loved the sweet corn bread, the taste and the texture.  Pulled pork was delicious and tender. Tomatoes and avocado made it even better. I can't wait to have it again.
