Corn was brought in from the wild and domesticated not with whips and traps but by whipping and trapping any bird that knew where the wild corn grew. Enjoy the fruits of ancient farmers' labors with today’s Groupon: for $12, you get $25 worth of Mexican fare at Maiz Antojitos Y Bebidas in Humboldt Park.

Maiz Antojitos Y Bebidas' menu celebrates maiz—corn—in all its sweet, savory, and kerneled goodness. Corn-husk tamal wraps your choice of meat, veggies, or seafood, as well as lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and a dollop of fresco cheese, in a corncob's warm jacket ($5.75). Molotes de Tinga, corn dough stuffed with chicken and fried brown ($4.75), and Elote Con Queso y Crema, a boiled corn dish peppered with chile piquin ($3.75), prove that corn's flavors thrive in even the harshest conditions. Between spiced bites, drink in the festive surroundings—avocado-hued walls and soothing artwork —while sipping a saucy beer concoction known as a Michelada ($5.75) or indulging in a dessert such as Crepas de Cajeta, Mexican crepes topped with caramelized goat's milk and chopped walnuts ($5.75).

Reviews

Zagat rates Maiz's food as very good to excellent. Nine Citysearchers and more than 100 Yelpers give it an average of four stars.

  • REALLY great food and drinks: homemade tortillas, phenom queso fundido (loved the bistec encebollado), chilaquiles. And you've GOT to try "The Bull"...tasty rum/beer/lime cocktail in a monster glass. – Laura N., Yelp
  • I just enjoyed everything, the welcoming feel, food and the drinks. A complete dining experience. Really...you need to eat and drink here! – gr., Yelp

The Groupon Guide to: Hitchhiking

Hitchhiking, lovingly known as the safest form of travel, has become more popular than ever now that cars cost more than college and airplanes are made of poison. Here are some tips for effective hitchhiking:

  • Ingratiate yourself to the passing cars by complimenting them with a thumbs-up.
  • Be prepared to give the driver some dating advice in exchange for a ride, as hitchhiking is based on the Will Smith movie, Hitch.
  • Put the prospective rides at ease by writing, "Do not worry my arms are very weak and could not subdue an adult," on your sign.
  • If you are hitchhiking as part of a comically mismatched duo, only accept rides in the back of a truck full of chickens.
  • Most modern cars come equipped with a "hitch hole" under the floor where hitchhikers can sleep long after the car's owner thinks they've gone.
  • Nothing bad has ever happened to a hitchhiker.

It's considered polite for hitchhikers to repeatedly whisper that they won't hurt anyone in the car.
