El Maguey, Z139 Mexico Rd Service was rude. If you're in St. Peter's and craving Mexican, skip this place. Try instead: Casa Del Miaz, El Mezón, or El Guatal. read more

The food here was pretty good. The queso cheese was BEYOND good! The service was pretty good, though 2 of us said no tortillas, and tortillas were brought with our meal. It's an extremely colorful place which makes it seem very cheerful. Good amount of food for the prices they're charging. Would come again. read more

El Maguey - Pollo con Papas - Mexican Near Me - Saint Peters, Missouri

My boyfriend and I ordered takeout food from this establishment. boyfriend got the ribeye tacos and i got shrimp al chipotle. My food was okay, on the other hand my boyfriends was not. He opened his tacos up, took a bite, and tasted straight grill cleaner. (I tasted it myself as well) We both have/had worked in kitchens/ restaurants for many years, and know what grill cleaner smells like and unfortunately, tastes like. After taking a BITE of all three tacos he decided to not eat them and threw them away. Not even an hour later he started throwing up the tacos. He was throwing up for a good 10 minutes. I will not be returning to this restaurant due to him getting sick as he does not normally get sick from food. This is beyond ridiculous and unsafe. The bill was $51 and I will be requesting my money back due to food that was not edible! I will even dig the food out of the bag and bring it in if i have to. Not to mention the server also got our order wrong. Asked for no onion, no avacado, and swap the beans out for just extra rice. read more

El Maguey - Translated for those who cannot understand spanish. - Mexican Near Me - Saint Peters, Missouri

Came in on a Friday evening and saw the Chimichanga dinner special for 10.99 so I gave it a try. The waiter said you could get any filling with the special, even shrimp so that's what I ordered. Let me just say it was delicious! Loaded with shrimp and grilled veggies. And it came with all the goodies on the side... guac, pico, sour cream. So good! Also had a singer that evening singing Mexican music. We will be back! read more

Came here for a quick lunch. Ordered their lunch special which was a chili Relleno, taco and beans. It definitely came with a lot of beans! It was OK. The ground beef could have definitely use some seasoning to it. We kept putting more and more salsa on it to give it some flavor. Probably would not order the lunch special number two again. It is very casual. The tables have advertisements of local businesses on them like that is what the table top is made of. The service was OK a little bit of a communication gap. Made me realize that need to brush up on my Spanish. read more

Came in the night before cinco de mayo and the guy waited on us was so sweet and hands on. My bf didn't know what to get but the waiter took his time with us figuring it out. Love how fresh the fajitas are here and always a good show to watch on tv. Music playing just love it!! So close to midrivers mall and hwy 70. read more

It's nice to find places close to home that are so cool. This place gives you hot good food at affordable prices. Yummy dishes of comfort. That fill you up and satisfy your cravings. Good food is hard to find. I like it here. I definitely will return here again and again. Try the fried burrito. read more

Good queso dip and the foods good too. Service is good aswell. Would recommend. Just going to add more words so it can go through.

The food here is just like most all of the other Mexican restaurants around. No problem with that. Service is also good and fast like most. The problem at my last visit was the two drunk "ladies" in the booth behind us. They were so loud and cussing like drunken death row inmates. I mean it was bad. I walked over to the cash register and asked to speak to the manager and there was no manager. So I suggested that they tell the two drunk "ladies" to leave. They did nothing but bring them both another margarita and a shot of something EACH. Very bad judgement with a resturant full of people with kids and me with my 88 year old mom. NEVER AGAIN read more

Call HAZMAT the most horrible smell in the side I was seated. IT WAS NOT THE FOOD! Someone didn't mix their cleaner right.. or it is a gas leak. I had to have my order made to go, which was really sad because it was the first time in a while that I was out on my own (no kids, grandkids). I was so looking forward to my evening. I doubt I will return to this location again. Which is sad because it's close to home. I will continue to go to their STL location. Understand, service was fine, food was ok (lil cold after having to drive home) it is the stench that was ridiculous and too disgusting to stay there. Now they're calling asking if I called in order 11 ???? I'm not quite sure what to think about that.....maybe that person mixed the cleaner??? Go to St Louis. read more

Tasty lunch--tacos, enchiladas, burritos, and, of course, chips/salsa! They were sensitive to our request to be seated away from other patrons---seating us in a section with no other people! read more

Terrible food! Ordered a grilled chicken salad, asked for no cheese, and requested salsa. It came with one giant chunk of unripe tomato, very hard and flavorless. No onions, a few pieces of lettuce, and a handful of the driest chicken ever! My boyfriend got nachos that had barely any toppings. This is the worst location I've been to. read more

I have to have Mexican food probably once a week or I just don't know what I would do. El maguey has been a long-term staple in St Charles County and I can always look forward to some sizzling fajitas there. read more

I've been coming here for years, and I've never looked it up on Yelp. I can't believe they have anything less than a five-star review. They have many things on the menu that are fantastic. Most specials are at a reasonable price and taste great. They have a margarita where they put a beer in it, and it's also great. read more

first off the scanner for the new Ids absolutely need to be replaced because being 25 years old and a mom of 1 i know I look young. HOWEVER I walked into this restaurant only really wanting chips, queso and a marg like every Friday. I was seated at a table and started my order for a marg I obviously had my ID in my hand because I know I will always be the ones to get carded. The man walked off with my ID state isssud by MO and walked back over to throw my ID on the table and say denied and walked off. obviously very confused because I use this ID for purchases at dispensar, liquor stores and etc and after this experience I went to the nearest gas station and walked out fine with my ID scanned. the part as to why I'm writing a review is because as 10 minutes go by and I am highly confused and feel like a child when I'm 25 I got up from my table and headed towards the door to find every employee minus the cooks standing by the door giving me nasty dirty looks as if I'm one of those minors illegally coming to get a drink, understand it does happen but crowding around the door? staring me down as I'm going to my car? unnecessary when I am well above drinking age and will gladly take my business else where because I was not even listened to or understood or even treated with respect as a customer. if I did that at my job I'd be fired. read more

The food is excellent here - probably the best El Maguey we've been to. The portions are very large, and it's quite tasty -- as were the margaritas! The burritos are huge! The wait staff is very friendly, and the prices are excellent. Parking and location are great. The decor is adorable - I love the carved, colorful furniture and, of course, Sonny's murals! read more

We have ordered carry out from this location multiple times. We wanted to go inside to enjoy it indoors and the quality and portions are still outstanding. Service is wonderful. I've ordered pico de gallo and it's always fresh. The portions are massive and fresh too. I'll keep going to this location for the best of the best. My only problem is that I can never order a small coronarita at $14 but I love them! read more

I ordered tamales & Sopa de Cameron. (Shrimp Soup) The Tamales were big and the serving was generous. I kinda like how the smother the Tamales in sauce and cheese. My Cat loved it too. Who knew my cat loves their tamales. And I really love the Shrimp Soup on a cold winters day. I called in my order and picked it up to go. The service was very good. I can't complain. My only complaint is that you guys need to get Horchata on the menu please...please...please.. read more

I really hate to give a thumbs-down to any local establishment. I want the little guys to survive. Especially when they're adorable and super friendly like they are at the St. Peters El Maguey, on Mexico near Mid Rivers Mall Drive. So here are the positives: the food comes out reallllly fast. I mean, faster than it takes to eat a handful of chips. The wait staff is so sweet and checks on you often. They always say, "You okay, chica?" or "Everything alright, senorita?" The chairs are painted in fun shades of pinks and blues and have happy little paintings on them. They even have a magician on Tuesdays from 6 to 8 p.m. That's certainly novel. It's just that the food isn't so hot. I hate to say it, really. It's sort of like the furthest you can get from authentic Mexican, kind of like every Chinese greasy spoon is so far from authentic Chinese. I was hoping for a little something, but even the corn tortillas in my enchiladas verdes (chicken enchiladas with onions, cilantro and a green chile sauce) were greasy and dry. You know the difference when you have a fresh corn tortilla. The rice was super bland and the guac was less exciting than something from the grocery store's refrigerated section. My mom liked her chimichanga, though. She cleaned her plate. Maybe it was just an off night. I really hope so. read more

Mixed Fajitas we had the best Fajitas and Margaritas tonight. We come here to eat at least twice a month. Every time it's fantastic, very friendly, attentive, accommodating, eager to please. Can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Good Margaritas, great food, clean bathrooms, quick service, reasonable prices. What more is there to say. If you like authentic Mexican Food you might find a fancier place but you won't find one with better food at a reasonable price.... Keep up the good work guys.... read more

This place has been my go to place for as long as I can remember. My parents always took me when I was a kid. And when I could start affording it on my own, I visited more often. It had been a bit since I've last went, but tonight was quite a good night to go. No long wait from sitting to getting the food. Fresh and hot, the waiter was super nice. I'm glad this place has remained open. read more

Fairly similar to the other El Magooys but Entrees are $2-3 more than what they charge at the Wildwood location, which is odd because you would think that it would cost more to run a restaurant in West County. The atmosphere is also lacking at this location. Had a steak dish for $15 which consisted of a 4 oz piece of meat, barely enough to make 3 tacos. A small very small portion. The same dish at the Wildwood Outpost is a lot more substantial. read more

The service is getting pretty bad. It used to be much faster and efficient. I don't know what happened. Got my plate and I took a bite, was way too salty. They replaced it in like 10 which wasn't bad. Also I believe they started charging for chips and salsa if u get more than 2. Bummer. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would... not only are the employees rude and hands off, they literally give you dirty looks as you walk in. I've given this place so many chances and every single time it's gotten worse. Maybe at least clean the place? read more

Not impressed at all. Ordered to go to try out a few different items. We're new to the St Louis area (originally from Los Angeles) and we're trying to find good Mexican food. This did not make the cut. Enchiladas were made with some kind of tomato sauce (not even enchilada sauce). Nachos were plain with no toppings and they used some kind of canned cheese. The tortilla chips tasted like they were from Costco --- not homemade. Needless to say that I ended up making homemade guacamole and chicken enchiladas the next day. read more

This waiter was very good but I have had plenty of margaritas in my life to know what they should taste & my margarita had little to NO ALCOHOL in it & they did nothing when I complained. I do not recommend your better off trying a different establishment. read more

This has got to have been the worst meal I have ever eaten. More like choked down since I couldn't believe that restaurant food could really be this awful. I ordered a combination plate with a taco, tostada, and some other thing I didn't really recognize. Each item had burnt shells and pasty ingredients. Nothing looked all that great. To be honest, I didn't complain because 1- no one asked how it was, and 2- I was still shocked it was so bad. The waiters tried to be helpful but the food was slow coming out. Maybe it was being re- reheated. Finally, I almost walked out without paying because it took a while to be acknowledged as we stood at the cashier station. Don't go here, guys. If you want Mexican food go to Taco Bell. read more

We love the El Maguey chain and have been to this location several times. But, the last couple times have been awful, mainly around the service. Had to ask for drinks multiple times and request to go trays. Last week the chips weren't fresh. Going to stick with Chimis instead. Not sure what possessed me to come back today but thought things had changed. Nope, worst trip yet. No system whatsoever to get the groups of people seated. Saw them seat one group only to tell them to get up because they missed another group ahead of them. We waited a good 40 minutes for the food and everything was cold. Do not eat here! read more

Decent little place! Margaritas were good as was food, portions were huge I would likely return when in the area & recommend.

This is my go to mexican restaurant. It has a friendly staff and the food is always served hot and very fast. I have had many dishes here but my favorite is the fajita taco salad. They have combo specials as well that are tasty and low price. If you are in the area i would recommend you eat at this location. I haven't had a bad experience. read more

The ritas are very very good. The chips and salsa are addicting. Who needs the main dish when you get the drink and chips rite. The food is fast, cheep and it tastes pretty good too. If you want a dinner out on the cheep...pick El Maguey! read more

We ordered to go. The nachos were good, but the rest was bad. The tacos we got had about one piece of meat each. Stale tasting tortillas. I got a chicken salad. For the meat they lacked on the tacos, they made up for on the salad. It had about 4 pieces of lettuce. The rest was rubbery chicken. I had asked for sautéed mushrooms, they had exactly 3 mushrooms, I counted, on the salad. Definitely disappointed. Also. They charge a takeout fee, but you don't get the chips and salsa like if you dine in. So you're paying more to get less. Just throwing that out there... read more

The service here is average. There are a few servers that are great and a few that you can tell they don't care or don't like their job. But I really do enjoy their food. I always order off the combo menu and you get so much food for 9.25. The food itself is typically better than other Mexican restaurants in the area. read more
