THIS PLACE SHOULD HAVE 5 STARS! I?ve been to 2 el maguey locations but this is my first time at this one since all my family said this was the best spot. Came in on a Thursday afternoon around 1pm and the place was at full capacity so I knew the foodwould be good. I ordered the 3 taco meal (carne asada, chicken, and carnitas) with rice and beans, a margarita, and aquesadilla to go THE FOOD WAS SOOOOOO GOOD! Specifically the carne asada and carnitas taco! The portions were bigger than anyother Mexican restaurant, they did not skimp on the meat! You can literally see the seasoning on your food so you know it?sseasoned well and I love that the salsa verde has good spice to it. The margarita was...
I ordered the three-taco meal (Carne Asada, Chicken, and Carnitas) along with rice and beans, a margarita, and a quesadilla to go. The food was absolutely delicious! The Carne Asada and Carnitas tacos were particularly fantastic! The portions were larger than at any other Mexican restaurant I've visited, and they really loaded up on the meat! You could see the spices on the food, which showed just how well-seasoned it was. I also enjoyed the nicely spiced salsa verde.
The margarita was great, and I ended up burning my mouth on the beans because I couldn't wait to dig in, haha! I'm surprised this place doesn't have a higher rating, but I think that says more about the customers than the rest...
The queso dip with chorizo was good. The wings had a good flavor but I asked for them to be crispy and they were not. The Pina colada margarita was also good. The restaurant was understaffed. I know because there were two signs posted that said so. It did take a long time to get our order taken and to receive our food. One of the items ordered was never brought to the table. A couple that came in after us, was served before us. I would return but maybe with a smaller party and on a less busy day.
Nasty food, fajita vegetables were soggy and mushy. Server came to take our order and a man dropped off our meal in less then 10minutes. Never saw our server again we finally had to track her down to get our bill. Our water glasses were empty we wantedmore sour cream and sauce, that never happened. We won't be back! I am always a big tipper but her tip was 1 cent. Food was notprepared fresh. You can't have soggy overcooked fajitas prepared in less than 10 minutes. It was old!

The service was great. They were on top of it the whole night and I was at a busy table and they still kept up. The drinks are huge and the refills never slowed. The food isn?t the traditional Mexican that I am use to but must people enjoyed their meal. This little flag in the burrito was the cutest and this burrito was amazing. The salsa was not spicy but came in this adorable little jar. The cheese fries were ok and the Avocado appetizer was great.
The food was delectable and arrived quickly and piping hot. The ambiance was vibrant and enjoyable, creating a festive atmosphere. The mariachi band performed modern songs that perfectly enhanced our table's celebration. One of the musicians skillfully swapped out instruments from a bag he carried to play different sections of the songs, showcasing his incredible talent! We had an amazing experience and can’t wait to come back!
The food was delicious and came to the table fast and hot. The atmosphere was fun and festive. The mariachi had current songs that they sing and catered to what the table was celebrating. One of the musician had a bag full of instruments he would justpull out of and start playing when that part was done he would put it away and grab another and play the next part of the song.Very talented. Had a great time! We'll be back
