Incredible Mexican food in Girona. This was my favorite restaurant I ate at during my visit. The owner Arturo was very kind as well. Order the enmoladas, you won't regret it! read more

Everyone in our group liked the food, the ambience and the special care the staff were taking. Looked like a family owned place, I am not sure though. It had such a feel. The food was craftfully prepared and arranged aesthetically. There seem to be quite a few dessert options too. It is conveniently located from the basilica in a beatiful street full of restaurants. Food is a wee bit pricier. Overall a gratifying experience. read more

YUM! Who knew you could find excellent Mexican food in Girona, Spain? Well, you absolutely can, since the owner of Maguey is actually from Mexico, and his kitchen cooks up some great dishes. Our party of five arrived here for lunch on a Tuesday, and they were able to squeeze us all into a table in the corner (a tight fit since it's a small restaurant). It was fine, we were grateful to find a table (so many places are booked up in advance!) They have a stunning Frida Kahlo/Day of the Dead mural on one wall, and Mexican music on the stereo. The place smelled amazing. We started with margaritas, which are served classic, no rocks and not frozen, in a martini glass. Super strong and really delicious. We also started with guacamole, which was perfect. Our entrees included quesadillas (vegetarian ones and chicken ones), chicken flautas and chicken enchilada mole. Everything was absolutely awesome. We loved it all. The service was prompt and friendly, and the owner even came and spoke to us, asked us where we were from, and told us about himself. It was great food and a great experience. If you're craving Mexican food in Girona, this is your place! read more

Best Mexican restaurant in Girona. The owner is great and is Mexican. Planing another trip later this year and I will make it a stop for me and my family read more

Refused service to our group because we had to divide between 3 tables (even though there was enough seating) Not accommodating read more

Found this place on trip advisor, was definitely amazing. We kept it light because we weren't super hungry and shared a plate of chicken tacos and guac and chips. Some of the best guac I've had in my life and the tacos were full of flavor. If I'm ever here again, we are stopping by! read more

Well, this was a bit of a surprise. We saw the reviews and photos, and somehow gave in to the idea of going to a Mexican restaurant while traveling in Catalan (why not Catalonian?), but maybe we still didn't expect so very much. We were wrong. The server was helpful, friendly, and efficient. Drinks were good if not tops. We ordered tacos with rajas and a special: huitlacoche quesadilla. The quesadilla arrived first and it really got our attention. When the tacos arrived, we realized we were at a great restaurant. The flan was a sort of cold cajeta mousse and was so good that we ordered seconds. We live in an area with access to world-class Mexican restaurants, and we agreed that our experience at Maguey was competitive with any of them. Highly, highly recommend! read more

This was the best Mexican food we have ever had! Which says a lot since we are from California...and do travel to Mexico occasionally. The service was exceptional as well. Do try the traditional margarita- shaken not blended. read more

Sick of Spanish tapas.. found this little Place and it was awesome. Staff was friendly and spoke English. Tacos were amazing. Nachos were amazing. Fajitas were amazing. Kids got chicken quesadillas and they loved them. This coming from kids who normally turn up their noses at anything outside the box. Would come back here in a heartbeat. read more

The previous iteration of Mexican food/restaurants in Girona consisted of the garbage you'd find in the frozen section of a grocery store. The cook would then deep fry or microwave your "entree" and then you would be living la vida loca. It was terrible. Then Arturo came to town and started Maquey. Oh my Lord, it's life changing. Or a least it brings authentic Mexican food, from a Mexican chef, into Girona. The menu is great but I recommend asking what he's making that day. Tons of specials. And his house margarita is divine. (Extensive tequila list too...) read more

Horrible service. We were denied a table and told they would not serve us simply because we had 9 people with us. We said we would sit at different tables and they still refused us. I wish I could give them zero stars. read more

This was a very clean, well decorated facility. Small but suitable. Staff was extremely friendly and attentive! This was our 2nd dinner of the night so I just ordered a cerveza and my GF was kind enough to share her Tacos. They weren't able to allow us to play with the menu as their 3 Tacos plate could only come in one style although they offered 4 different types. This would have made my day since I was craving Beef. The pork was still delicious and juicy, marinated to perfection and the Tamarind Margarita did not disappoint. Wish they offered beans and rice as that is the cornerstone of the Mexican dish. Still worth stopping by and get there as soon as they open, unless you don't mind sitting near a door sliding open every 30 sec. Seats are typically reserved. read more

Maquey was a fantastic experience to find in Spain where good, authentic Mexican food is hard to come by. My wife and I shared a Carnitas plate and Guacamole and I must say that the Carnitas were as good as they get. It was obvious that someone in the kitchen is truly from Mexico. After the meal we spent a good amount of time talking to the owner, Arturo, who is in fact from Mexico City. He spoke to us about his menu and offerings and how he prepares the food. This restaurant is a gem amongst a lot of tourist trappings. If you find yourself in Girona, stop in at Maquey. read more

I grew up eating Mexican food and live in the southwest of the USA so it's something I crave after just a few days of traveling. I was in Girona and wanted something other than tapas, so came across this place, which had great Yelp reviews. It is definitely legitimate Mexican food - it did not disappoint! The green enchiladas were nice and spicy (changed my order after the waitress told me the red wasn't spicy) and I also tried the carnitas tacos, which were loaded with meat - they do not skimp here! Even the drinks were very strong! Arturo, the chef, seemed to be very hospitable, as were our servers. Wish I could eat here all the time! read more

Very good Mexico City Mexican food. Friendly staff. Oysters from France were a nice surprise. Highly recommend.

The way Mexican food should be - fresh, delicate & wholesome! Was in the Girona region exploring on foot and yelp helped me find this restaurant nearby. It's been a really hot summer so some fresh Mexican seemed like the way to go. Ordered 4 dishes to share between 2 people and that had us both rolling out. Highly recommend the veal taco - the meat was delicately chopped & cooked to perfection- juicy, melt in your mouth & flavourful. Also recommend the chicken wings - very tasty & morish read more

The nachos with guacamole were really good, best guacamole we ever had. My taco's with veal were very tender and had good flavor. But I missed a sauce and veggies. But no complaints. We came without reservation and had a small time window to eat before a reservation. We saw lots of people being turned down. read more

Delicious Mexican food! This place is packed, even in the off-season so be sure to make a reservation in advance by calling the restaurant.

Loved the quesadilla and guacamole here. We had walked almost 5 miles in Girona, and wanted food quickly. Their guava juice was very refreshing and food was excellent. read more

Absolutely tasty tacos and michelada! Maguey was recommended by a local and did not disappoint. The vibe of this place is also cool!

After being in Barcelona, Seville, Tossa DeMar, and now Girona we stumbled upon this perfect find. We were craving good Mexican food and took a chance - what a delight! Chicken enchilada mole was delicious! It even had a good spice level which I was wondering if it would come out the way I was hoping. One of the top 3 meals we've had in the month we have been in Spain, definitely worth going to! read more

Had the fajitas pollo, sin queso because I'm allergic. The owner waited on us, spoke really good English and we had frijoles refritos that were all authentic Mexican. He finished us off with a chick oats made with tequila. Mucho gusto and I will come here again. read more

After wandering around Girona for a couple of hours we stumbled into this area and ate at Maguey based on yelp reviews. WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED!! Do yourself a favor, talk to Arturo (the owner) and let him make suggestions and bring you his specials. The food was amazing and so was the staff! I wish we were staying here longer so I could eat at his restaurant one more time! Arturo speaks English so getting what you want is not a problem. read more

True hand cooked and incredibly tasteful food matched with delightful staff, especially the owner Arturo. He spent a ton of time with us helping is learn the area and making recommendations. When we told him we loved hot, especially habenaro peppers he made a couple of dishes that blew our minds away! Simply a great place, we couldn't say more. Arturo has a love for cooking that is so so clear. Best food experience of our trip! read more

Magnificent! A very good place, great attention and good food, owner attention and nice people!

This place is phenomenal! The owner, Arturo, is super nice, very gracious and speaks English well. If you like American style spicy Mexican food let him know and he will hook it up. This is a must eat at spot in Girona! read more

INCREDIBLE! I am from Colorado and have lived in Europe for two years now and have been hunting to find good authentic Mexican..... I have found it! The owner is from Mexico City! This is real Mexican, the tacos are incredible, the tostadas are incredible, the enchiladas were also perfect! Don't hesitate to eat here you will not be disappointed! read more

Beautiful, fresh, authentic Mexican. Traditional marguerites were especially great, as were the guacamole, & the fantastic Enchiladas Mole. Our son had the beef tacos and loved them too! The chef/owner is from Mexico and he came over to our table to talk for a bit. After five months living in Spain we felt a craving for Mexican. Especially since our ten year old son was with us for a day trip in Girona. We were looking for tasty & kid friendly and found both at Maquey. read more
