Don Maguey is, by far, the best Mexican restaurant that I've been to and quite frankly one of my…read morefavorites of any kind, at least on the food. The service was just okay and the music too loud for my liking, making it perhaps not ideal for families with children. It was very busy and not necessarily spacious. However, the food is transcendent. Everything that we tried was outstanding, even the chicken nachos and quesadilla. They season and cook everything properly. The beef tacos were fresh and tasty and the quesabirria tacos were even better. Great flavor and balance. What takes this restaurant to an elite level is the mole. It is exquisite and a rare find.

BEWARE: Before I get to the food; the waitress is manipulating the system to receive more of a tip…read more My food total charge with tax was $60 and change, I left a $10 and change tip. When I looked 20 minutes after at my credit card statement read I had been charged $77 and change pending a potential tip on top of that, even with tip included it is still over approximately $7 what I signed off for. We called to determine the prices of each individual meal and "the manager" was stumbling to tell us the prices for everything. Even with the fake numbers that were given to us it still didn't add up correctly. I remember the prices for the 3 meals my family and I ordered and I remember what the check said. I let it be because maybe they need more than I do. As for the food, I'm born and raised on the border of Mexico and although I must say it does scream authenticity especially on appearance the meat is bland, and that "Mexican rice" is by far the worst tasting rice I've had. For a casual person that likes Mexican food you may like it, but if you know what you're tasting you will not. Also, they didn't have 4 different things on the menu available ultimately leading me to have to go with my 5th option. It is very expensive for what it is, and even more expensive when your waitress manipulates the system.

Although it's been a minute since we first visited this restaurant and the decor has changed making…read moreit less Mexican and more contemporary, the food and service is still on point! From their delicious queso fundido to the ceviche sampler! Glad to see that the chocolate tres leches is still yummy and super fun and unique presentation. The Caesar salad with chicken was fresh and had a unique spin in that it had chunks of avocados and unique croutons - must try!!

We have been visiting Talavera for many years, started going when they had booths instead os all…read moresmaller tables. I guess they can fill more guests in, which would be OK if the ones seating two were not so small and pushed uncomfortably between the glass panels and the way of the servers to go back and forth. We used to always have the melted cheese for appetizer and the garlic shrimp with white rice, priced at $25 and the shrimp were juicy and large. Lots of garlic and huge shrimp, think there were six per plate. Ambitious margaritas were delicious and just the right amount of alcohol. The rim was evenly coated with coarse salt and they were really a treat. The last time we were there was the night after Thanksgiving last year and we were extremely disappointed. Food arrived before cutlery and we had to ask for napkins. We kept getting bumped by workers in the narrow traffic space and the margaritas were heavily watered down with salt on the rim an afterthought. To add insult to injury, the much smaller shrimp were separated from the rice, very dry (overcooked) and tasteless. They were served on a flat plate not conducting to hold butter or whatever they used to cook the garlic in and the poor shrimp looked like they didn't belong there. I take they have a different chef and are cutting costs because everything is more expensive now. Well, so was our bill that took a ridiculous hike. The price that stuck to my memory was the garlic shrimp, from $25 to $34 for a much smaller and inferior quality dish. So from being our favorite Mexican place in Gables to being taken off the list.
