The prices are a little higher than most Mexican places I have visited. However, the portions are generous and the quality of the food is excellent. I also had the top shelf Margarita and it was great too. It cost 12.99, but they were running a 10% off special for it. The service was also good. The decor is odd for a Mexican place with rustic chairs and tables that would be at home in a country themed restaurant. There was a light fixture that gave Vegas vibes . Overall we had a great experience, but found it pricey compared to similar restaurants.

We stopped in for dinner from being on the road for most of the day. Greeted right away and seated immediately. Food was very good and served lightening fast. Our server was attentive and friendly which matters! I'd recommend to anyone who is looking for authentic Mexican food.

Small queso dip
Nilsa A.

Service was amazing, from the greeting as I entered to the final bill. Ordered the house Margarita on the rocks, a bit sweet, but tasty. Next received chips and salsa. Ordered queso dip small, very liquid, would have liked it a bit more thick and smooth. Finally, had the Steak Street tacos on flour tortillas, absolutely tasty. Side of black beans also got the spot. Very nicely decorated, clean, and classy. Pleasantly surprised. Highly recommended.

Burrito Al Carbon
Jase C.

Tonight we celebrated my mother in laws birthday and had never visited El Maguey before. We were pleasantly surprised. This restaurant sits in a small shopping strip that I've passed by many times but never really paid much attention to what was in it. Upon our arrival, we walked into a very welcoming and inviting atmosphere and were immediately seated. The restaurant was very nice and tidy, the waiters were very helpful and informative of the menu. I had the Burrito Al Carbon which included shrimp, chicken, sautéed onions, queso and salsa. I hope I'm not leaving anything out. It was delicious. We also had a large bowl of queso to share with the family. Their drinks are served in mini pitchers which my husband was happy about. We will definitely return!

Birthday dessert

I love this place so much! I discovered it with my daughter and mom and have recommended all my friends here! My fiancé even proposed to me there because I made my profile pic from there on the dating app we met on. Every time I eat here, I get pics with who is with me by was I call Mr. Jalapeño. The food is amazing, service is awesome and the people are so friendly.

Steak and shrimp fajitas

This is our preferred spot for Mexican food. The food is great and the restaurant is always clean. We went on a Saturday and they had live music that wasn't overwhelming (acoustic guitar), I also couldn't believe how great the staff was at singing happy birthday - a band came out with a violin and guitar to sing to a few birthday tables. My kids love the games they have (tic tac toe, connect 4, cornhole) though we never have to wait for a table. My husband got the steak fajitas and it was mostly meat - not peppers and onions like some restaurants. We always enjoy ourselves when we eat here.

California Burrito - so good!

My husband and I randomly passed by this place and wanted to try it out…read more We had the taco salad with seasoned beef and it was really good! Loved the flavor of the beef. We also had the Mesquite chicken avocado tacos and that was definitely the star of the show! The chicken was seasoned to perfection and the chipotle ranch was incredible! We even asked for an extra side of it to drizzle on the taco salad! The chips were super crunchy with a great taste and the queso and salsa were really good as well. They even have a candle for the queso to keep it warm. Definitely a great touch! We had great and fast service. The atmosphere was chill and welcoming. Something we wish could have been better were the cushions on the booth seats. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back if we were in the area!

I really liked that they have lunch specials every day. On Thursday, the special was a Chimichanga, and the price was very reasonable. The Chimichanga was crispy on the outside, and the rice I chose instead of beans was surprisingly delicious. Since the restaurant had recently been renovated, it seemed like there were quite a few customers compared to the number of servers. Our server was friendly and clearly doing her best, but she was covering quite a few tables. As a result, the food took a little longer than expected, and a couple of my friends were somewhat uncomfortable with the wait. For me, though, it was still a good experience. Maybe the overall atmosphere felt a little boring compared to some other Mexican restaurants, but I enjoyed my meal and appreciated the effort from our server. I'm glad I finally gave Tumbleweed a try, and I'd definitely come back again to see how things are once they get fully settled after the renovation.

It's a great deal especially combined with their complimentary chips and salsas. The restaurant offers indoor and patio seating. We were offered a booth right and Tanner was a fantastic server.

The chicken faquita soft tacos are filling and come with beans and rice. The plate offered toppings as well to elevate the flavor. I enjoyed the swirl margarita - a bit more sweet with mix than tequila. Great spot for small and large groups. Plenty of parking. The website offers a waiting list on busier evenings.
