We were absolutely PLEASED & SATISFIED with what we ordered! The Chile verde burrito was Exactly what I was craving & it hit every point for me I just asked for sour cream! Ambiance was cool. Very family friendly, maybe 2 families in there before us & more people showed up after we arrived. I love the salsa bar they have! & ALSO, DON'T FORGET IT IS ALSO A BAKERY!!

First time dining at El Maguey and will definitely be back. Small and quaint space with very…read morefriendly staff. Had heard great things about this restaurant and finally decided to give it a try. The menu was composed of fairly common dishes found at most Mexican restaurants. I'll review the dishes we tried. First, we had some carne asada tacos. The meat was seasoned and cooked well, topped on fresh made corn tortillas. Garnished with onion, cilantro and fresh salsas. Would have again. Their fish was freshly fried and seasoned well. Nice crisp skin and super moist flesh. The garlic butter I requested added an additional layer of flavor. The refried beans were delicious and well as the rice. The side salad was complimentary to the fish as it was refreshing and citrusy. I enjoyed my meal to say the least. I definitely will visit again.

The customer service is on point as soon as you enter you are greeted like you're the only customer! The decor is authentic as well as the food. It's a small space with a shared parking lot but come before or after lunch and you'll have no trouble. Plenty of food items to please your palate. The food and aguas are flavorful. Cold beer as well Mexican beer on tap. There is also a beautiful dessert case with flans. Like their sign says they are a small business but their seasoning is big. Pop in, say hi and enjoy some delicious food as well as a lovely atmosphere with great customer service!

The taste was good. I ordered two tacos with an egg on top (it was breakfast time). The service was…read moreprompt and I got the tacos and egg in less than 7 min. The issue is the price. I looked at the menu and was floored. $24 for a bowl or caldo de res. $26 for birria! I paid $3.50 a taco plus $1.50 for the egg. Not bad, but it was a small serving. I can't imagine a family of four eating here. Prices are out of control. Not just here, but everywhere.

Considering I saw the tostadas being removed from a grocery bag, I'm assuming they weren't made in house. My order came with forks, tostadas, hot sauce, ketchup, and saltine crackers. *Aguachile: the portion was very small and there was barely any flavor. The shrimp had the slightest bit of acidity but I'm shocked by the lack of lemon juice and green Enchilosa sauce. There was a singular slice of avocado on top. Most of the container was composed of red onions and cucumbers. The red onions were dry, hence I refuse to believe that this dish had any proper preparation. *Ceviche Especial: wow was this so dry. The octopus and shrimp were way overcooked. Instead of shrimp ceviche, I received a strange clump of shredded imitation crab. This was similarly topped with a single slice of avocado. There was no aspect of seasoning or citrus in this entire meal. The lack of freshness and flavor was astounding. A positive was that I didn't get food poisoning from this meal. However, I wasn't able to finish either dish because they were both poor examples of Mexican seafood.
