El Maguey Restaurant and Cantina

Rica comida auténtica mexicana! Yummy authentic Mexican food. Everything was delicious and the service was great: the micheladas were so good!

I placed a to go order over the phone and once I arrived food was ready as promised. The staff were very kind and service was great. The food itself wasn't all that great. I have spent many years traveling the nation and even going to Mexico so I know great Mexican food. I believe the food wasn't made with love and that makes a big difference in the taste.

I've rated this place before. but we all know how things change. Usually for down thumb. Well this place is still ALWAYS Up Thumb! I am not Hispanic. But White. Ya think that matters there? Nope. Have had the door held open for me by patrons and have a special waitress that knows me and i get my Margarita and Shot of Tequila the second i walk in the door. My designated table is by the jukebox. MY SPOT. think they actually keep it clear for me. LOL. great food... good drinks and great staff and patrons. What more could you ask for? By the way...my tab with drinks is usually less then 25 bucks...I leave a 10 buck tip...ya know why? anything i ask for any way i want it I GET it and always GOOD! Think about it for a second...is it worth it? Wont answer that question as we all know how many times we went somplace and paid the big bucks to get a meal we tossed after the first bite!!!

Good dining experience there tonight. Fajitas was good but the Plancha Jarocha was great. Lots of seafood.

Most of the Mexican food is good at El Maguey. But the chicken tacos ???? are terribly dry. Even with any taco sauce. So gross. And at $11 bucks on the lunch menu is a bit high priced for a lunch menu. The beans and flavored rice is tasty not dry. The other food a week ago is the Chimichangas. The lettuce inside is wilted and wet. Not to my liking that's for sure. And it was way too much it made me sick the rest of the day omg!!! I actually did not feel well after eating the chimichangas. Half hour later it was not agreeing with. I will not come here again. High priced Mexican food. The quality of the food is mediocre at best.. but the tacos with chicken was as dry as the Sahara dessert ????. Sorry to say this but Taco Bell tastes much better then El Maguey. I give 2 stars out of 5 stars in customer service and quality of the food. I'm surprised there isn't more negative reviews. Oh by the way. The service was extremely slow, especially last Wednesday, September 28. Took my whole ½ hour lunch. Unbelievable!
