    Chilaquiles plate

    Every time we come the food is so yummy and we get such great, friendly service. Their chilaquiles are a must try!!!

    The most authentic Mexican breakfast you will find in Boerne, hands down. (I am Mexican therefore consider myself an expert.) The service is also excellent.

    To start, when visiting on a very busy Saturday morning the service was terrific despite other reviews trashing it. The young man serving us made suggestions and the restaurant was happy to do 2 different types of enchiladas on the same entree plate although enchilada combos weren't on the menu. They even stopped us while we were preparing to leave to top off our tea to-go cups. It's clean and cheerful inside, a little loud but in a social local way. Lots of families. The prices are very very reasonable. A couple of beef items were $10-$12 but everything else was below $10. There's a big tray of Mexican pastries in the middle of the dining room. Looked delish but I wanted to save my appetite for my gordita picadillo and enchiladas. Glad I did because the picadillo was incredibly flavorful (unusual for this often bland beef and potato comfort food). I'd come back just for the picadillo. The green enchilada was bright and zingy and the chicken tender and moist. The mole enchilada had very deep complex flavors. Very rich. Good breakfast plates, solid beans and rice. Try the Mague's Special Taco for a yummy switch up on breakfast tacos. Very good house made tortillas. I wasn't a fan of the green salsa on the table nor the relleno, but that's a matter of taste. Recommended.

    I gave them four stars as the best overall Mexican food in Boerne. Good restaurants are scarce in Boerne. The food here was super hot, fresh and tasty. This is my new go to restaurant in Boerne. I had the Mexican plate and my wife had the Fiesta plate. It was a lot of food and the crispy taco was extra perfect. Wrapping up the meal I went for a tortilla. The tortilla was very magical as it was one of the best I have had in awhile. To be clear compared to other Mexican restaurants in San Antonio I would rate this more of a 3 than a 4. We enjoyed a side of pico de gallo and felt it was worth the extra $1-2. It was not as full of tomatoes just the way we like it.

    Caldo de pollo

    This is their Caldo de Pollo and I also got a Menudo and let me tell you it has been the best I have ever tasted here in the hill country. I live in Kerrville Texas and they don't have anything close to this. I will drive to just go eat this again and again and again to boerne tx magues mexican restaurant!!!! It is amazing!!!!!

    We frequent Chaparral because we like the drive up IH10 to Boerne and the restaurant is not usually…read moreoverly crowded, which makes for a more relaxed dining experience. On Fridays and Saturdays there can be a wait, but they often offer a waitlist option, and you can also make a reservation the day before which I highly recommend. For a long time, I struggled with what to order because some of the dishes felt a bit heavy for my taste. They were good but too greasy. And for years I have typically stuck with the chicken quesadilla or a bowl of bean soup. However, I recently tried the mini tacos and that completely changed my experience! The mini tacos come six to an order, and the meat was cooked perfectly: tender, juicy, and full of flavor. They're served on a single corn tortilla (many places use two), so they did fall apart a bit and I had to eat with a fork but honestly, with added lime, onion and cilantro, they were so delicious that I didn't mind. The charro beans are a great accompaniment with really nice flavor and this plate DOES NOT come with rice. I do however like the white style rice that comes with the quesadilla. I know many people rave about the refried beans. While they are tasty, they're a bit too greasy for my personal preference. Service is decent overall. The waitstaff often seems very busy and possibly understaffed, but they are still pleasant and kind. If you're not sure what to order, I definitely recommend giving the mini tacos a try.

My daughter ordered the chicken nachos and the little corn tortilla cup with guacamole was so cute!

The food is…read morealways hot and delicious, as it was this past Valentine's Day when we wentthere for lunch. The food here is Tex Mex, which is standard in these parts. Having been raised with a healthy dose of it throughout my life, it is my favorite comfort food. They also have an excellent selection of seafood dishes, which makes it a great choice for Fridays, especially during Lent. We were seated promptly and our waitress brought us our drinks and chips almost immediately. She was really friendly. The chips and salsa were tasty - the salsa was fresh and not too hot. The salsa is made in-house, so sometimes it's hotter than others. Today it was on the mild side. They had a special Valentine's Day menu. Since this was lunch, we chose from the regular menu. I had the crispy beef taco plate and my husband had enchiladas. No complaints there! The taco shells were crispy and the ground beef was steamy hot and properly seasoned. The rice and beans were quite good, the rice being above average. Their guacamole has no surprises, like funky ingredients or a bunch of onions in it. I like my guacamole simply seasoned, if at all. Just basic mashed avocado, please, thank you very much. That's exactly what I got. I decided to splurge and have a cocktail, so I ordered a black Russian. It took a little while. The waitress apologized and said the bartender didn't know what that was and had to look it up. Because it was the afternoon and we weren't in a rush, I didn't mind. I was a little surprised he didn't know what a black Russian is, but peeps have to learn sometime. The more experienced bartenders usually get the evening shift, I would imagine. In any event, it was made to perfection. My husband liked his meal. He works in inner city SA, and prefers the hole in the wall places. He does like El Rio, though; he's the one who introduced me to it years ago. In short, if you are looking for standard Tex Mex food in a comfortable environment then this is certainly good choice. It's never been noisy or overcrowded when we've been here for lunch.
