Awesome service & friendly.. Awesome food & premium margaritas. Definitely worth the stop. Delicious food, quick and tasty.

The food was ok. Just a preference judgment but I prefer the food to be fresh and not sitting on a warming plate for days and it shows. The food was reasonably priced, and my husband said the margarita were very good. Service was good. The dining area could really use an update notably rundown or at least needs a good scrubbing down. The restroom smelled of urine and could definitely use a good too to bottom cleaning. read more

Very good experience, food was great, the servers were very nice and got our food fast, there was a lady who's birthday was this day and they gave her a free sombrero and sang her happy birthday read more

Nope! Worst food ever. The prices are insane and the waiters make sexually graphic comments about customers right in front of their faces because they assume none of us speak Spanish. read more

Love this place! You aren't going to get better Mexican food in the area! Definitely check them out and try all the great food they have! And of course wash it down with a jumbo frozen margarita! Omg and the cheese dip!! A must! read more

El Maguey - a glass of orange juice - Mexican Near Me - Cameron, Missouri

This is the best Mex you will find outside KC Great fajitas and Don Julio. It's the best thing in Cameron. read more

Located in rural Missouri, this restaurant is likely not "on your way" to your next errand. However, it's surprisingly good considering how far it is from the border. It's definitely worth a stop, and is one of the shining stars in Cameron. The prices are reasonable, and the staff are affable. AmEx is accepted here. read more

We ordered two dinner entrees and two margaritas and were very happy with everything for only 34 bucks. We were given enough food so that we had left overs the next day.The servers were super friendly and fast which made it our experience even better. read more

Small business, family friendly, great drinks and great food. Always seated promptly with a smile. Our family stops here every single time we pass through Cameron, MO. There's no place around like this. You're a fool for not stopping. read more

The best tostadas that I have had with sour cream and guacamole! Good Mexican beer as well! Easy to find off HWY 36. read more

I had lunch here today with two co-workers. My meal was really bland. I had the #5 Lunch Special (a burrito, a taco, and refried beans). The beef filling for both the taco and burrito were generous, but lacked any spicing or flavor. I was expecting a lot more heat and spice to my meal. Fortunately there were plenty of chips to eat with the refried beans. I had heard much about El Maguey and how good it was. I expect some spice and a little heat in my Mexican food. This was not spicy or hot. Although the meal was filling, portions a good size. I would not go back because there was no flavor to the food. read more

Enjoyed the lunch specials with chips and salsa. Chips were wonderfully fresh and so was the salsa. Would definitely come back.

Food was less than sub par. The staff was looking at their phones more than waiting on people (us). Margaritas were small and never offered water to drink which made the lousy food even harder to swallow. If you have ever liked Mexican food before, don't go there. If you've never had Mexican food before you won't know what you are missing. read more

We travelled all day through icey roads and bad weather and my husband was too tired to leave the hotel once we checked in. We both wanted something hot and good and this place did not disappoint. I ordered it to go and it was ready in 10 minutes. It was delicious and really hit the spot. The staff was very friendly and efficient. Great place for families and couple alike. Would go back in a heartbeat. read more

Bomb tacos! Bomb fajitas! Their salsa is very flavorful, their guacamole is SO GOOD. I haven't had one thing I didn't like here. My favorite restaurant in town. Hands down. read more

This restaurant is amazing with a variety of food options. Despite being located in a small town it's possible to order vegan food. Additionally, the staff is super friendly and helpful. The atmosphere itself is perfect for groups with plenty of room and they are very willing to make accommodations. The food itself is delicious and quickly served. Highly recommend for families or groups. Very easy to locate and plenty if parking as well. Good for passing through or as a regular dinner spot! read more

Stopped in from Texas on the way to Minnesota. The food was a generous portion and really tasty. The price was a pleasant surprise as we have to pay much more in Dallas. read more

After eating waaaaay too many grilled cheese sandwiches on our midwestern trip, the vegetarian in my family was THRILLED to see an actual Vegetarian section on a menu. Thank you El Maguey. Generally speaking, El Maguey is like most restaurants of this type outside of the Southwest--quick service, staffed with native spanish speakers, big menu with all the typical Mexican classics, probably not spicy enough for hardcore fans of authentic Mexican chow. A particularly problematic dish may be the beans--flavorless except for onion. But if you frequent this kind of restaurant, you know what you're getting and except for the beans it fulfilled our expectations completely. De rigeur free chips and salsa to start your meal, beer & mixed drinks available. According to a sign on the wall, there are drink specials every weeknight ($2.50 mexican beers on Thursdays, for example). As I said before, it was especially nice to have over a half-dozen meatless combo dishes available and easy to find on the menu. Also had a kids menu with a combo of Mexican and non-ethnic fare. We were surprised to find a smoking section in the restaurant, but maybe this is a Missouri thing. We are from out of state. A sign on the door said the whole place is smoke free for at least a few hours on Sunday. read more

Stopped here driving through on the Interstate. The service was slow because of the large groups of people. However, our server was friendly when he did appear at our table. The fish tacos were OK and the Fajitas were OK too. I thought the meats in the fajitas were pretty dry. read more

We are traveling and wanted Mexican. It was as good as any we have had. A huge selection on menu and huge plate of food. We are vegetarian and were impressed we 7 selections for $9.99. I would eat there again. read more

We stopped here on a trip with girlfriends. When we pulled up it was a little worrisome because it was ran down looking. We got sat, drinks came out and we ordered food. Most of us split meals and the waiter kept everything straight and brought extra plates. We all ordered pollo cheese rice. The portions were HUGE and it was seriously the BEST flavored chicken and cheesy rice any of us have ever had. We were so happy to have stayed and tried it. Prices were fair too. Nothing crazy and maybe a few bucks cheaper than our own area. read more

This would be a last place I would eat Mexican food. Meat is not seasoned, tastes like can meat, cheese is runny.

Good choice! The food was really good, the proportions were large, the prices surprisingly low. Not fancy but if you're hungry stop here. read more

El Maguey - a man in front of a mexican restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Cameron, Missouri

I ordered a soda here. This place has a nice interior, and the food on the menu looks awesome. They didn't have lengua.

Stopped here for the night on the way home and this was right next door to the hotel. This was really good food at very reasonable prices. The staff was friendly and talkative. I'd stop here again if I came through this way. read more

Great place for good Mexican. Food and staff were friendly! Only complaint was that when we went to leave we found out our car had been broken into. It wasn't the restaurant fault but it happened in the parking lot. They did not have working video footage. read more

The food was pretty good. I'm not really sure there are any alternatives around this small town.. We just stopped here on the way back to Kansas City. Definitely not on par with some of the Mexican I've eaten but it did the trick. I had fajitas. Margaritas aren't really worth it. Service was excellent though! Very fast and courteous. read more

I would've given the restaurant five stars the food is very good the location is nice the restaurant looks clean the wait staff was mostly attentive but work easily distracted from the customers read more

We are from Texas and we are very familiar with quality Mexican food. So, we were very apprehensive about eating Mexican food in Cameron, Mo. However, we were not disappointed...the food was excellent, the staff was friendly and on thier A game. read more

Such great food found in such a quiet little town,loved my Fajitas,served by a very friendly and polite staff who were very attentive. Been years since i've been asked smoking or not, not something we have back home. Well worth stopping here, you won't be disappointed. read more

Went in to be seated. They couldn't seem to bother. Finally the next people in line asked about being seated from the girl at the counter. She copped an attitude of why hasn't someone seated you yet like we were all to blame. They when we asked to be seated out of the way she said and I quote "NOPE" and threw the menus on the table busted through our group trying to sit down and walked away...needless to say we walked out leaving the menus lay on the table. read more

Great staff and always prompt service. Pretty standard Tex-Mex menu with some unique items. I always enjoy what ever I order. Pre-made alcohol drinks are a little on the weaker side. Bar made drinks are always strong and tasty. read more

Hubby and I love Mexican food. We made a trip to the hardware store and decided to try this restaurant. I ordered a tossed salad and a "A La Carte" order of tacos. There salad was a little challenged with very little besides lettuce and bell pepper. The tacos were kind of bland. Our waiter spoke very little English -- so it was hard to ask about the food. My husband didn't eat much of his lunch either. But it was clean and the service was prompt. read more

We have seen this place for years and was always hesitant to eat here...Last night we decided to take the plunge since the parking lot was full....boy were we in for a rude awakening. The place is dingy and dirty, and I won't even mention the sad state of the men's restroom....bad. I ordered the taco salad since I thought it would be safe. I was wrong, the taco salad had all this wetness in the bottom, I guess from the lettuce the bottom of the shell completely dissolved. My friends meal wasn't much to look at either. The best thing about the place was the ice tea. We couldn't stomach finishing our meals so we left and stopped by Dairy Queen. I guy was coming in and I told my friend we should have told him to run. read more

We have eaten here several times as we live here in town. Pretty good mexican food for midwest mexican food. The service has always been excellent. The food was quick in getting to us and the flavor was good. read more
