Taqueria El Maguey

I had the shrimp tacos and my husband had the Taco trucks tacos. Both were delicious. I would have to say these shrimp tacos are the best I've had. Saucy and enough taste but not over powering. Definitely recommend trying. The taco were great too. Not dry and decent good amount of meat and onions on them. Service was great. Waitress checked on us through the meal and promptly refilled our drinks appropriately. Loved the decor to the restaurant. Great vibe and clean restaurant. The bathrooms were kept clean as well. Love this place.

Great food and great service. We had a party of 10 and our food came out quick and our waitress was very attentive! I got the grilled chicken breast plate, but asked that they cook the chicken without any oil andI just wanted a side of pinto beans and pico de gallo. The chicken was pounded out really thin, so it wasn't all that moist and was a little tough and to eat, but it was still flavorful and it didn't stop me from eating all of the chicken. Super cute inside and the staff is so friendly and accommodating to different requests some of us had for our meals. Definitely recommend!

I love taqueria el maguey! The ambiance definitely gives you cultural vibes and the margaritas are so good!Things tried and loved- mango margarita- tamarindo margaritaFYI you can ask for a large margarita!- chicken fajitas so yum- one serving may be enough for two - enchiladas de papa? I think that is what it is called so different and flavorful - the enchiladas have carrots and potatoes! And the red sauce is perfect!

You HAVE TO ask for their chili oil here. It's absolute fire. Love their fish ceviche - ALWAYS SO FRESH. shrimp tacos are on point. I can't wait to do some type of happy hour here with some friends and try out their margaritas. The interior ambiance speaks to fun, but clean. The ladies at the counter are always super nice. One of them was actually the one to introduce me to their chili oil when I had asked for something spicy to put on my ceviche once. Now, I never place an order without asking for that darned chili oil.....absolutely addictive.

Wow!Don't miss this local gem. Been south and feels like they brought the home cooking here. From the friendly service like you came over to their house. We will be back. Could comment more on atmosphere, but why? Look at the photos.

Chips and Salsa and Bean Dip - Chips were kind of stale Salsa was a bit bland but beans were goodBeautiful patio area in front with plants, a water feature and interesting decor. Interior was modern Mexican with lots of natural woods. We were seated immediately and met our server promptly.Combo Plate (crunch al pastor taco, carnitas enchilada with green sauce, chile relleno) - Crunchy Al Pastor Taco - 6 - taco shell and toppings were amazing but the Al pastor was bland. Highly recommend with a different meat. Carnitas enchiladas with green sauce - 6 - carnitas was bland but the green sauce was pretty good. I think it could use more heat. Chile Relleno - 9 - was very good, especially the red sauce with chunks of tomato. Would like it to be more crispy where the sauce isn't on it.Pollo alla Crema - 7 - A bit too creamy and cheesy for my taste Would like more chipotle flavor Pollo Maguey - 10 - Perfectly season meat cooked to perfection. Home made tortillas was an excellent addition.Tapatia (chicken) - 8 - Beautiful dish with lots of toppings in a lower calorie construct. Seems exactly like a tostada to me.I'd come back to try some drinks, eat some crunchy tacos and enjoy the pollo Maguey on the patio on a summer evening. You wouldn't be disappointed.

I probably chose the wrong entree, but I got a Grilled Chicken Salad. The chicken did not have much flavor to me. BUT the kitchen did make Queso dip for me, which makes up for it the queso was great. Super cute atmosphere. AMAZING employees!!

I had the yummy shrimp tacos. Very tasty with the addition of lime. Haven't been here in awhile but the quality of the food was spot on. Definitely recommend.

Upscale Mexican with full bar and patio seating.Orangeburg and Oakdale you will find this location. Huge parking lot!Good room for groups, and intimate tables for two, you may need to make reservations on peak hours and weekends.Sit down and you get chips, a really great house salsa and refried beans.Ordered up a house margarita to get everything lively, and decided to throw in some guacamole.Shrimp Fajitas come with guacamole, sour cream, lettuce salsa, refried beans and rice. Optional house made corn tortillas, or flour.I opted for the corn tortillas and they were delightful I love fajitas, but the overheated cast iron plates always make me laugh, you have to mix everything up or end upWith half your meal as a charcoal.It was a bit on the pricy side, but filling.This location gets very busy, so plan accordingly.

We live pretty close to this restaurant, pass by here all the time and finally on a random weekday decided to try it. This place is a little hidden gem! I ordered the chile relleno dinner plate with rice and beans. Everything tasted wondering and so fresh. It's definitely been one of the best chile rellenos I've had in a long time. Their drinks are also super yummy! Service was great, quick and friendly! This place is such a cute little restaurant and the decor is very pretty, this would be very nice to celebrate a birthday or any special occasion. We will definitely be back.
