We love Maga's. It's a neighborhood cafe with a menu so diverse, you'll find Tex-Mex and Mexican favorites (spicy chicken enchiladas, flautas, fajita salad, gorditas estilo san luis, chicken mole, chile relleno), Mediterranean options like Greek salad, kabob, hummus platter; and other homestyle favorites, like chicken fried chicken, fettuccine alfredo, grilled salmon, artichoke dip, burgers, stuffed eggplant, and a lot of other veggie options. Normally when a menu is that diverse, the food is mediocre, but we've been pleased with the many items selected there. And everything's made to order, so don't dine there in a rush. My go-tos that I can not get away from - as much as I want to try other items on the menu - are the spicy chicken enchiladas, tostadas, migas, and eggs bennie. I believe it's woman-owned - it's all women in the kitchen working really hard, and quiet honestly looking tired from being on their feet all day. We always tip way over 20-25% because the food is really inexpensive.It's also BYOB. And they got rid of the outdoor seating to - what looks like - expand their kitchen and upgrade the restrooms. It's also very kid- and family-friendly with booster chairs and kiddie foods (like chicken tendies).

Maga's looks like is not a restaurant from the outside but it actually is a pretty good place to eat . The ambiance is calm there was low music playing but no people at the moment . The service was great as well server was very attentive. The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is due to food temperature some was cold but I think because they let it sit a little to long before being served , the flavor was great I wouldn't recommend the French toast that's my least favorite pancakes were way better . Overall food was great recommend you try it out . The omelette was the best with the fresh avocado.

Was in the area and hungry for an early dinner. Based on the menu and the interior, this spot definitely seems more of a breakfast spot. French toast, chilaquiles and what seems to be a pastry counter are things I noted. It also kind of gives coffee shop vibes with scattered artwork across the walls.Our server was attentive and took our orders - tostada plate with mexican rice and borracho beans and the guacamole grilled chicken torta. I will say, if you're looking for Mexican or Tex-mex food, this cafe is more Tex than Mex. Lots of options on the menu like burgers and kabobs for people looking for that. For the tostada plate, the veggies on top were very fresh but a little heavy on cilantro (my own personal aversion, so not docking them on it) but were great with the salsa from the chips. the torta was ...... more like a deli shop sandwich. Don't get me wrong, the flavor was good. But I guess I wasn't expecting a baguette like bun.Chips and salsa passed the vibe check - the first thing I always look at. Bathrooms were clean. I'll be back for breakfast - overall, great portions for the price. Definitely worth the bang for your buck.

Nice little cafe with pretty solid breakfast food options and decently cheap prices! Servers were friendly and attentive - refilled waters and coffee quickly while we were there. I got the Huevos Rancheros with flour tortillas and thought it was good. One of my friends got the French toast meal and it looked delicious. Apparently I took a photo of his food but forgot to take one of mine

Solid, no frills brunch spot in east EaDo over on Polk. Seemed like a mom and pop spot, which is nice. Passed by plenty of times and stopped here for the first time. Chilaquiles were solid and everything else looked good too. Affordable and solid Mexican brunch!

Pretty disappointing from start to finish. Went for brunch on a weekend and there was understandably a wait for a table. Sat down and then it was a wait to order (there were 3 wait staff and they were not terribly busy with other things. The full tables already had food or already ordered and no one was at the counter to pay yet). Placed my order and waited almost 45 minutes for food. This was ridiculous. However I noticed everyone's food was taking forever (so maybe this is normal here, I think there was only 1 person cooking the food also). The food: I ordered the waffle (this was great, the crispy kind of Belgian waffle rather the soggy ones some places serve) and the chilaquiles with chicken (not good, no seasoning, the chicken was dry and flavorless, the beans were also somehow dry and flavorless, the tortilla was the only decent part of this). The service: everyone was nice enough, but never checked on me while I waited for food nor once I got my food. I had to somewhat yell to catch them as they'd zoom past my table to check on someone else. It's weird to do because it's such a small place that you can just look at someone to see if they need something. The last issue was that my bill took a while (she was only ringing up myself and 1 other table at the time) and I saw the lady with the glasses typing in items manually as if the computer wasn't programmed w/ the menu and prices. Turned out my receipt prices were higher than the menu prices. I guess no one else had said anything and people were just blindly paying their tabs. I began to point out the difference and they explained that prices had changed 2 weeks prior. That may be, but the customer is only responsible for the printed prices. Get some new menus printed! Or at the very least, notify diners of the increase rather than not saying anything at all until confronted. It comes off as sneaky and dishonest. I have no idea why this place has such high ratings, other than it's familiar feel and sense of community when they Assume you are latino (or when you speak Spanish).

An excellent place to enjoy authentic Mexican food. It was absolutely the best food, everything was fantastic. Our server was very attentive. The restaurant was quaint with a selection of local art for viewing. Highly recommend to anyone looking for GREAT Mexican food in the Houston area. We will definitely visit again next time we are in town.

Warm, cozy atmosphere with excellent service. Our waitress made excellent recommendations and the food tasted like it was homemade. I had the chilaquiles and added fresh queso cotija as a side to add on top. The prices were reasonable although I would say the portions are a bit small. Coffee was freshly brewed, would come back again.

Im not sure how this place has a near 5 star review because it was not good at all. The chips were dusty tasting and the salsa super watery. Then the appetizer sampler was literally the same cheese in different forms. It all tasted the same, except the calamari of course. We ordered cheese enchiladas and the green enchiladas. The cheese enchiladas were literally cheddar cheese with cheddar cheese on top and had no flavor. The green enchiladas had a bit more flavor, but the chicken fajita chunks made it a weird texture. The side of refried beans tasted like they just boiled and refried dry, no lard or oil. They also didn't have any flavor. The grilled veggies were literally frozen steamed veggies. The rice was nothing impressive, also lacked flavor. We literally couldn't even eat out entrees. It was that bad.I do have to say the service was good. One waitress for the whole place. The ambiance, there was none. It was a mixture of random art.Do I recommend it, no. Save your money for other great places in the neighborhood. Bill was $46, definitely not worth it.

The flavors were definitely there. For a mexican restaurant the portions were good and I was able to finish the whole dish. The server was so nice and took very good care of us. Food was quick, it wasn't super busy at the time we went and there was some music in the background which was nice. The paintings on the walls were so creative and I had lots of fun looking at all of them. I would come back and eat here again for sure.
