Ceviche de isla

Never going back do yourself a favor if you want Moriscos go to a real Mexican restaurant or a Peruvian restaurant. The first time a made reservation for brunch the place canceled my reservation because of plumbing issues. After a couple of months I finally got to thinking I'm going enjoy my dinner. Just to be completely dissatisfied. Not for me or maybe I just didn't have a good experience.

Tacos from buffet

We came for buffet for lunch and the food was great! They were super accommodating to our party. Simei was our server and she was super attentive. Good was great and they had a great variety of food. Ambiance was good too. Very welcoming. Can't wait to come back

Ok, couple of things that I was not a fan of. 1. Our server took long for everything, we asked for another beer we were done with our food when it came out. 2. We asked for more chips the gran babies wanted more chips and they never came. 3. It took more than 20 minutes to get ice cream for the kiddos. 4. And to get the bill I ended up going to the front to ask for it. I can't say they were busy, because I went i side and there was hardly no one inside. They were more than enough servers for the amount of people that weee in the patio. After waiting so long for everything not sure if the food was really average or I was just irritated by this time. I honestly was not impressed but like i said I was very disappointed for the amount of time we waited.

Walkway to get to restaurant if you're coming from the parking structure on 1st.  Restaurant is on your right.

Came on a Saturday morning for brunch. First, I'll say what a pleasant surprise it was to find this here. Very nice restaurant that I didn't know existed because of its somewhat hidden location. It's off Indian Hill in Claremont, there's plenty of public parking in the structure off 1st street during this time so that was good. I was a little late attending the brunch so I had to figure things out on my own. No one really there to explain where to get foods and drinks but my fault, I was late. I decided to do the bottomless mimosas, probably shouldn't have because I only got one glass although I was there for a couple of hours. It seemed like they were getting ready for the graduation lunch rush and were more focused on that rather than those of us there. They did do a good job of cleaning the table of plates though which was nice because we were a bit tight on space. The important thing here is that the food was really good at a great price. I was impressed with the enchiladas, the omelette bar and the taco bar (which I didn't eat any of). They had lots of good options on the buffet, and if I was hungrier, I definitely would have tried more. That which I did taste was excellent. I really want to down grade them for not providing more "bottomless" drinks but I could have been more assertive since I was paying $10 more for it. I did enjoy the spot, beautiful location and the food was great so I'll keep them at a 5.

Excellent service from the start to the end food quality 10/10 drinks 10 / 10, atmosphere 10 /10. But most of all, thank you to Gabriel, for such an amazing service he gave us. this is what service should be about. Thank you Casa Maguey but most of all, thank you Gabriel. *loved the Agua Ardiente. Definitely going back.

Pina colada was just ok.

Came on a Friday night, around 5:30 and it was surprisingly empty. There was no host but someone that appeared to be from the kitchen came to seat us. The menu options are good but we opted to try their combos so we can try different items. I had the two item with chicken flautas and chile relleno. I chose rice and black beans. I like that you can select your sides which is not usual at a Mexican restaurant. I enjoyed my meal. My friend did not enjoy her chicken enchilada because she was expecting the traditional shredded chicken but it's actually chunks of chicken. There are some items that I'd like to try so I'm sure I'll be going back.

Removed the $40 but did not recalculate the gratuity
Jasmine C.

I've been here numerous times, and overall I've always had good experiences. The food has consistently been great, which makes today's experience even more disappointing. Our server, Yadira, provided poor service. We had a semi-large group of nine (eight adults and one child), so I understand that larger parties can take more attention, and I tried to be patient. However, we repeatedly ran out of water and had to ask other servers for refills because we rarely saw her. In fact, another server ended up taking care of our water. When we received the bill, it incorrectly listed nine adults and one child instead of eight adults and one child. We pointed out the mistake, and she corrected the guest count. She then left the check, and I planned to pay once our group had finished eating and talking. Instead, she came back twice asking if I was ready to pay while we were still eating and visiting. Shortly afterward, another employee came to our table with the card reader and asked our entire party if we were ready. We felt rushed and obligated to pay immediately, as though we were being pushed out. After I left, I realized that while the extra adult had been removed from the bill, the automatic 20% gratuity had not been recalculated. It was still based on the incorrect party size, resulting in about an $8 overcharge in gratuity. That was disappointing, especially considering the level of service we received. I'm still considering disputing that portion with my credit card company. Unfortunately, this experience has changed my opinion of the restaurant. While I've recommended it to others in the past, I don't plan to do so anymore, and I'm not sure I'll be returning.

Tried this place on a Saturday for brunch. Absolutely delicious. Lots of variety, food made fresh from scratch. The agua frescas are refreshing. Staff is very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is elegant and well decorated. They have omlet bar and taco bar outside. Well worth price. We will be back.

I went to Casa Maguey in Claremont for brunch on January 11, 2026, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. We arrived around 10:30 a.m., and the restaurant was fairly empty, which made for a calm and relaxed atmosphere. We were seated right away and immediately offered bottomless mimosas. Refills were a little slow at first, but once things picked up, they were nonstop. The woman who kept our glasses full was absolutely amazing she truly made our visit top-tier with her attentiveness and great energy. Only negative which is not entirely a negative is that I kept asking for water and never would get any. Once we finally received water, getting a refill was difficult. We never got a refill on our waters. The food was authentic, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The prices are very reasonable for the quality you get -- not overpriced at all, just great value for incredible food. Overall, a fantastic brunch spot with great service, amazing food, and a fun, relaxed vibe. I'll definitely be back.

Eddie S.

Wifey and I always look forward to coming here. Great service and the food is phenomenal. The owners, the chef, and staff are all very friendly and welcoming. If you are in town passing through, you need to hit this spot. AND if you live near by and haven't visited Casa Maguey yet, what are you waiting for? You won't be disappointed!

Buffet
Zelda B.

Food is tasty and very spicy!!! I had the buffet. A variety of meats are served during the buffet are bubbling in giant 20 inch cast iron pans. I got the Verde pork simmered in a giant cast iron pan. The meat is tender and full of spicy goodness. It's sauce is really good. The cilantro dressing on their green salad is fabulous!! Can we buy that by the bottle!!!?? (Seriously) I loved the red enchilada! Cheesy saucy yum! The chicken tamale was good I loved the meat inside it. The masa was thick and heavy. Overall I appreciated the warm friendly service . Let's remember I am a parapalegic in a big electric wheelchair. When.zi first entered the little fenced courtyard It felt like Some of the Wait staff was not sure what to do w a lady in a wheelchair. I parked myself at a table moving chairs as I do (A common issue in alot of places) There are some obstacles in the buffet area the salad bar is behind a building post that my chair could not maneuver. The manager was more than willing to assist me and he made me a good little salad. I appreciated the ADA responsiveness once they realized I was there to eat Sunday buffet Overall I give this restaurant a 5 star review! I will be back!!!! The GM made sure I had what I needed. Overall I think the ambiance is cheerful fun and warm.

Watermelon margarita
Lissett C.

This restaurant is so nice ! Good staff, Good food, and Good drinks. Our waiter was friendly and polite. I had the carne asada wet burrito and boy was it flavorful. I had a watermelon margarita and it was strong but delicious on a hot day!

Mimi L.

We came in for a late lunch, since there was nobody at the front desk so we just went to the bar to find some seats. This Mexican restaurant is very cozy and spacious. The menus were big on both drinks and food. We decided on chicken soup, Caesar salad with shrimps, chicken nachos and three tacos combo. The food was very delicious in large portions. The shrimp Caesar salad was really good. Hubby enjoyed his meat tacos too. The service was slow at first but it picked up late on. Our bartender was very friendly. A solid Mexican restaurant and bar. We would like to come back for brunch buffet sometime!

The lamp chops and the garlic shrimp are non-negotiable orders, and the kitchen manages the rapid-fire pacing of small plates perfectly. It is loud, it is buzzy, and it is unapologetically vibrant. Best for: Group dining where you want an energetic atmosphere and aggressive flavor profiles. Pro tip: Expect a wait during prime dinner hours; grab a cocktail at the bar while you do.

Unfortunately, time has not been kind to this restaurant. This visit reminded me of an episode of Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. This used to be the spot where you'd wait an hour or more on a weekend night, packed in shoulder to shoulder with strangers and loving every minute of it. This Saturday we were seated right away at 7pm, with four open tables around us. That was the first warning sign. The room was very hot, and the hostess seemed irritated by almost everything. The food has really gone downhill. The barbacoa was tough. The stuffed mushrooms reminded me of tiny mushrooms filled with wet cat food; the consistency and taste were really bad. The halibut came out as little pieces of what seemed like leftover fish. It was so bad that we decided to leave and eat somewhere else. To wrap up the evening, I stopped in the restroom on the way out, and another patron coming out warned me that there was a pair of used women's underwear on the floor. Sure enough, there it was. That's disturbing in any restaurant, and it says a lot about how closely things are being checked. None of this is a reflection on our server, who was really nice. But there are so many other places to eat in the Village. It's been slipping over our last couple of visits, and sadly this will be my last. I'd highly recommend that management sit down, really taste the food, and take a hard look at the cleanliness. I miss the place that made me want to keep it a secret.
