Easy five star! Ever since this place opened, me and my family have yearned to try it. We finally had the opportunity to go and we had a great time! The food here was excellent. I really loved their chips and queso. The salsa was also good too. I was a little adventurous and I tried the tacos de la Calle (street tacos). They were amazing! The rice and beans on the side were great too. I was impressed by how clean the inside was. The bathrooms were very clean too. The inside of El Maguey was very nearly decorated. I enjoyed seeing all of the plant decor they had. The service here was amazing! Our waitress, Sofia, was very kind and helpful. Overall, great place and I highly recommend it! read more

The decor and style itself makes a strong first impression, but then the food comes out. The interior is well-decorated and fun. Lots of lights and color. I thought the chips were good. Fresh. I liked how they brought all four of us our own salsa without us having to request it. But the main courses....UGH. The ground beef "crispy" taco had no seasoning, onions, or sauce. No flavor. The grease from the taco meat made the tortilla just limp out and fall apart all over my plate. Definitely wasn't crispy. The cheese enchilada was honestly the worse thing I've eaten in a very long time... it came drowning in queso that tasted overly processed, cheap, fake plastic-like slime rather than something fresh or authentic. Imagine the cheapest jar of Velveeta queso. There you have it. Inside the "cheese" enchilada was more of the thick plastic queso. No real cheese was to be found. If you look at the picture of my meal... the tortilla looks limp, pale and let me tell you, it tasted the same as it looked. Gross. My cousin got the same thing, but also with a burrito but he said there was hardly any beans. Both were drowning in the same plastic queso. The rice and beans were just ok. So disappointing. Food was served fast, but too fast! We ordered and within 5 minutes we had our "fresh" food. So that let us know it was all pre-prepared. The waitress could hardly speak any English which made communication a real struggle. She messed up our order due to this and we had to repeat things often and speak slowly using hand gestures to try and help communicate. We were never were offered refills on drinks, chips or salsa. There was one other table being used and approximately six waiters and waitresses just standing around watching us, talking amongst themselves and it made it just feel awkward. We felt "on display". Being watched from afar because they all seemed very bored so we were their prime source of entertainment I'm guessing lol. Unfortunately none of us enjoyed our experience at all. Dang this review is a rough one, I hate having to leave such grim reviews... but I'm just being 100% honest about my experience and this establishment. read more

The food was disappointing. The chorizo queso tasted like watered-down Velveeta rather than real, flavorful cheese. The signature margaritas were overly heavy on the sweet-and-sour mix and very light on tequila -- if there was any tequila at all, it was hard to tell. Service was lacking. The staff seemed unhappy to be there and almost annoyed to be serving us. We sat at the bar, and the overall energy felt gloomy and unwelcoming. The atmosphere felt sterile -- not light, bright, or modern. I had heard this place compared to Mexican food in California, but it didn't come close. In California, Mexican cuisine typically uses real cheese and fresh lime juice in handcrafted drinks, which makes a noticeable difference. read more

Staff is nice, ambiance was ok. Food does not come as advertised. Burrito and enchiladas in the Combination platter look exactly the same. Lemonade was weak. Food does not match the price tag especially compared to other Mexican restaurants around town. read more

El Maguey Prime - Bars Near Me - Bixby, Oklahoma

It's great to have a restaurant right off 121st west of Memorial! The location is great for anyone who lives in the area. The parking lot is plenty big as well. This location is a step up in decor from the other locations. It's El Maguey "Prime" on the sign. It's spacious and clean inside with soft cloth booths (not cold pleather!). The bar is nice with chairs and TVs as well. Food - White queso is great! - Salsa is mild and flavorful, not bland. - Quesa-Birria is their birria taco platter. If you like birria, you will like their version as well! The meat is incredibly moist with a delicious dipping sauce. - Tortilla soup is delicious! It's not in a XL bowl like other places, but still ample. If you are starving, get something with it. - Fiesta Bowl with grilled chicken was delicious. It was more rice and beans than lettuce. Their chicken is grilled nicely with a tasty flavor, not bland. Drinks - The Patrón Rita is good and strong, only needed 2! - The Flaming Margarita was fun too. It was rum-based, strawberry, and had a vodka bottle added to the top of it for a kick. - They have a nice variety of margaritas with and without the standard mix. I love without the mix as it's easier on the stomach. Staff - Our server, Mr. Lopez, was kind and attentive, but didn't rush us to order like many similar places. We took our time and enjoyed it. The only other downside besides the margarita mix is the outdoor patio. They have the land space for a large outdoor patio, but it only fits 5 tables. Tulsa/Bixby needs more good patio restaurants! read more

And here it is, the season finale of the El Maguey restaurant tour; the cartel's newest operation El Maguey Prime, in Bixby. With the name "Prime" expectations were set high. It is a new modern building, roomy, well-lit by a combination of natural light provided by the many large windows, and the numerous very attractive ornamental lighting fixtures. Bright decorative artificial plants are scattered throughout the restaurant including a large artificial tree, draped with colorful tassels. Fronds of ferns and creepers of ivy hang from the ceiling. The effort creates an ambiance of evening dining outdoors. The Chilaquallies. Not my usual Mexican menu selection. The picture looked fabulous. Mine with grilled chicken. Chips and chicken all covered with a mild fresh tangy sauce, decorated with a squiggle of creama, a little pickled purple onion, and a sprinkle of cilantro. Two sunny side on the side. Drag those big bright huevos over on top. Spice the whole meal up with the restaurant's salsa picosa, break the yoks and Bam! That was delicious. Look at that picture! My wife ordered the California Burrito. Really, a California Burrito. I questioned her judgment. She raved about it. I tasted of it. I must admit, it was damn good. Professional, attentive service. So, here are two meals that I would recommend to any of my most discriminating, Mexican food eatin' friends. Overall, a very enjoyable Mexican restaurant dining experience, in Bixby. If you are looking for other Mexican restaurants in the area, check the collection "Jalapeno Highway." I've probably been there. read more

Really Good Food. The Chihuahua Burrito & the Rancharito Burrito are amazing. Staff is always friendly & Food is always great.

We loved our experience at El Maguey! My husband and I visited for a late evening dinner, and we loved the ambiance and our food was fantastic! Our server gave wonderful suggestions for food choices. My husband had the Quesa-Birria and I had the Tacos El Maguey on corn tortillas. We will definitely be coming back very soon! read more

One of the worst tasting food, I make better Mexican food. There are no good Mexican foods in or near Tulsa

Great food and fast service. Glad to have this place in Bixby. Will definitely be going back.

Good prompt service. Very good tacos and enchiladas. The small queso is about 2 ounces and is $7 so avoid that. The decor is somewhat flowery and upscale for a Mexican restaurant. read more

A big letdown. We won't be back. The food was mediocre at best. Prices were way too high for the quality of food they served.

The food was delicious and the service was great! My waitress was very attentive and kind. I also thought the ambiance was nice. They had it decorated so nicely. Would absolutely recommend them if you are in Bixby and looking for a good place to eat. read more

This was a disappointment. The chips and salsa were good but went downhill after that. I got the beef enchilada's ground beef. It is just ground beef with no seasoning on it and rolled up. I had high hopes for this place being only 3-4 min away read more

The food is really good but don't sit at the bar. They really need to hire a bartender. Even though they have people working behind the bar, the waitstaff took our order. We waited 20 minutes for the bar staff to pour two beers. Then watched the bar staff set the beers on the side of the bar for the waitstaff to finally come by, pick them up and walk them two feet to us. It's a horrible system and we saw several drinks sit and get warm. read more

The Prime Steak (we ordered with sauce on the side) - was absolutely fantastic! Butcher block presentation nice as well. Service was spot on! And the restaurant was very clean with an open atmosphere. We will be back for sure! read more

Atmosphere was wonderful staff friendly, but food is terrible! Queso was very runny average. Salsa was different. Didn't care for it. Had a lot of oregano in it. Fish tacos had really fishy and weird flavors.. I order fish tacos almost everywhere I go and these were disgusting. Will not be going back... so disappointed it's very close to my home and was really excited with all the social media presence about it. read more
