Meal service requires you to order at the counter, then your food is brought out to you at a nearby table of your choice. This is a no-frills dining experience, but do not let that fool you...the food is top notch! I ordered a small variety of items to sample...a marinated pork taco, loaded steak fries and for dessert a flan. After a bit of a wait (they make everything to order), it all showed up at our table. The pork taco was dripping with charred pork flavor and came with grilled onions on the side. The double corn tortilla kept everything together as I dug in bite after bite. When the loaded steak fries showed up, my jaw dropped to the ground! This thing was big enough for 3-4 people to share...whoopsy! The crispy fries came layered with strips of grilled steak, a white cheese sauce, guacamole and a sour cream drizzle. Damn these things were good! And if that wasn't enough, I also ordered dessert because I am a sucker for flan (I grew up in Miami and have eaten probably one million flans). Honestly, was not a fan of their version's texture (too grainy, not creamy) and their sauce was not as sweet as many others I've had...but glad to have tried it. For being a small-town Indiana spot, I'd go back here no questions asked. There is an extensive menu for trying new stuff and I'd love to get that chance someday!

On our road trip from Virginia, we ended up staying 2 nights at a hotel in Jasper, IN. Looking for…read moresomething that wasn't "road food", we found Retro Mexico on an internet search. We pulled in on a Sunday evening around 6:00 and the parking lot was packed, always a good sign. The vibe of this place is incredible. Rather than fill the dining room with all the Mexican tropes most do, here the owner leaned into a party vibe. Bright and bold pop art portraits of pop music stars, Mexican wrestling mask art, and a pop music soundtrack from 70s-90s. The menu is also different. Of course there are some of the traditional dishes you would expect, but the menu also pops with some great twists and unexpected combinations of flavors. In fact we loved our meal so much, we left the Holiday World theme park early so we could eat there again before heading home. They were even busier on a Monday night! We recommend the Foxxy Chopped Salad, the Ponata salad, the Chicken Mole (yummm) and the Steak Bowl. We didn't see a single thing come out of the kitchen we wouldn't have eaten. The staff could not have been friendlier. The owner was working the bar the first night we were there and came over to talk to us. He really want everyone to have a great time when in his restaurant. If you happen to find yourself in Jasper, check them out.

On the other hand, the food is very bland, even the salsa, well below my expectations. Moreover, my food was served on fake Fiestaware with a chip in it. Not a small chip that could be easily missed, but a MASSIVE CHIP at least an inch long and half-inch wide. There is no way a reasonable person could miss it. A kitchen staff or server that would allow a plate that should be in the trash to leave the kitchen makes me wonder what else is coming out, i.e., trash-worthy food. I will go to the Taco Bell next door before I return to El Maguey.

The layout and design of the place actually reminded me of the long-deceased "Don Pablo's." Kudos for good chips and salsa; the chips arrived on the table appropriately warm, plus they were nice and thin and crispy and not too greasy. The salsa, while not chunky, was tasty nonetheless, with the right amount of cilantro to make it tasty. The cheese dip was your typical white cheese blend with a little bit of a kick, but nothing outrageous. I had the grilled chicken quesadilla and my wife had the grilled steak quesadilla. Both arrived pronto at our table and were hot and sizable, stuffed to the edges with chosen proteins. I enjoyed a side of rice, a nice compliment to the quesadilla. Overall, not a bad place for the price if you're looking for some reasonably priced and reasonably tasty Mexican food in Jasper.
