El Maguey

Service is always good here, very welcoming environment. Pricing is more than reasonable with some of the best Mexican food in the area. Very homey feeling with traditional homemade food, will continue to come back!

We came here yesterday for breakfast with Family and everything was delicious. We definitely found our go to place when we come and visit our family.The staff was very friendly and attentive, and the homemade tortillas were delicious! My grandma approved!

Service was good however you can sit down to eat you but have to go to the register to order I order a burrito chorizo, and egg, I added potato and cheese they charged $2.06 for being a custom burrito and then they charge for the cheese. The chorizo was a bit dry and burnt. If they added it beans probably would've helped. I ate half of it. 12.00 burrito cheese 1.50 plus custom 2.06 total cost 15.00 wasn't very happy with that price

Went by for dinner, as usual, great service and amazing food! Got an updated menu that's easy to follow. Can't recommend this place enough!

Once again, I used a delivery service to place my order. Today I chose a taco salad with chicken as my choice of meat. Also an order of fries and a drink. The chicken taco salad was very good. The shell was very light and crispy. It had rice which I'd never had in a taco salad before but the flavors were quite good. On first glance it didn't look huge, but it was very very filling. Could not eat all of it myself, it was very filling. The fries were the skinny straight kind and they were nicely seasoned. I would order this again.

My friends and I hung out today and two of us were so hungry that we wanted to punch walls. Haha jk We had quite a drive to Porterville so on the way there I Yelped a spot to have some lunch. We all knew that we wanted Taqueria style food so I checked this place and compared it to a few. El Maguey caught my attention with such great reviews and delicious looking food pics. The place was easy to find and we all placed our orders in a timely manner. The girls upfront were really nice and catered to my very demanding and hangry request for extra radishes and grilled jalapeños.The food was remarkable. I mean finger licking, swallow without chewing completely good. It was exactly what I was craving. My friends loved their food as well. If and when I am in the area again, I will definitely keep El Maguey in mind.

The food was absolutely horrible. I ordered carne asada tacos and the meat was burnt and oily. It soaked through the corn tortillas. Seriously never going there again!

One of my favorite places in Porterville! I have tacos here regularly. The staff is always kind and welcoming. I've even had the opportunity to meet the owner. He comes out and greets the customers. You have to order first but I've never really seen it as an inconvenience. I recommend the tacos, mojarra, and torta. You can also order tortillas echas a mano!

Called to place an order over the phone they would answer and hang up. If they are busy they need to learn how to multi task and simplify answer the phone and inform the customer they will be placed in a brief hold. She finally answered the phone and placed my order, just to later pick up my order and see the that the container was mostly full with the broth and a handful of meat pieces. I placed my order at 11 so it might have been a little late for menudo but they could have at least informed us that they were running low instead of giving us a cup full of broth.

I ordered chili verde tostada and got ceviche...I'm allergic to fish so be careful what you eat
