El Maguey

This place is small, cozy and casual. The floors needed cleaning, but I understand they were too busy during the lunch rush.The standout out dish for us was their Shrimp Quesadilla appetizer. So satisfying and flavorful. We also loved their chips and salsa.My husband said his carnitas burrito was dry and bland. I'm surprised he still ate the whole thing! But he didn't want it to go to waste.I saved my Carne Asada burrito for dinner and it was still delicious after microwaving it 7 hrs later. We also shared a slice of chocolate cake topped with raspberry (or maybe strawberry) sauce. Whatever berry it was, it went perfectly with the rich, dense chocolate.Service was fast and friendly.

This restaurant has been here for a long time and we had never tried it before so last week we decided to give it a whirl. When we arrived, we didn't see any outside seating and we had our dog with us so we had to get our food to go.We made an order on their website but got no confirmation that it went through so we had to go in to order and they confirmed their website does not work. We tried some crunchy tacos and a wet burrito and it ended up costing more than we expected. When we arrived home, the tacos were soggy and bland, the burrito was cold and tasted like the meat had been frozen and heated up, I mean it was bad. The rice was barely flavored and the beans tased strange. Almost like cleaner or something. The salsa was like tomato soup or something. We did not have a good experience here. I added a star for the loyal clientele because they must be really good at service to have stated in business this long.

Food is okay... but portion sizes are small for a grown man. There is NO EXCUSE for gouging customers with tiny rice and bean portions; they are almost a 100% profit items even if they doubled the servings.STOCKTON is comida Mexicana heaven for ME.

Ok. Returned to this gem with my bride and grandaughter. Ordered the MOLCAJETÉ (for two persons) and my grandaughter ordered Chicken Taco Salad. Once again, no disappointment. Service was great and like being greeted by family. Ambience was nice and clean. Small place but you don't even notice kitchen activity. Prices are on point.

My way of judging a mexican restaurant is by how their beans taste like, something so basic but can tell so much about the restaurant. First of all, you cant call yourself a mexican restaurant when you cant even cook your own damn beans, something so basic but so important, they were canned beans, as soon as you taste them you can taste the conservatives, neither the red salsa in their enchiladas. You might fool other peeps from other nationalities but us mexicans know what made fresh taste like. That ain't it.Dont get me wrong it does not taste bad but not great (the food, the beans did taste bad). Thats the reason behind my 3 star review.

I decided to give this place a try since I was craving a burrito and this was the closest mexican restaurant. I always thought this was a "taqueria style" place but it is actually a restaurant with carpeting and a small amount of dining tables. The place was not busy when I walked in. It was lunch time. They do not ask you to wait for a table, you just grab one.I had to wait a few minutes to get a menu but the server was friendly.I chose the super, carne asada burrito. It arrived at my table pretty fast. I wish I had known that they serve it with refried beans inside since I prefer whole beans. You must request it. The burrito was a decent size with rice, beans, a little cheese and carne asada. The meat was flavorful enough. I prefer my sour cream and guac inside the burrito but they automatically put it on the side. I decided not to get a wet burrito which is another thing you must tell them you do not want. This place charges $.45 if you use a credit card for payment.I wish that they would play some sort of music in the place since the ambience is sort of nice but too quiet when it's slow. Maybe some spanish guitar, relaxing sounds?All in all, I would try this place again for a different entree next time. Like I mentioned, the servers were friendly. That is always nice.

Very small and personable location has about around 12 tables for seating. But the hospitality here from the young ladies working this particular afternoon that we visited here were very nice and polite. This but all made our visit here much more enjoyable and I would definitely revisit here just because of the service that we received from the two young ladies. The food was also fairly good the salsa you have an option between hot or spicy we chose spicy and it definitely lived up to the temperature. we had the fried ice cream dessert which was really good! They only had chocolate ice cream or not vanilla but we went ahead with the order anyways the presentation was cute also. And enjoyable to eat. Give their menu a try and their location.

Food is so good and so much no skimping from the kitchen. Very friendly service nice strip mall restaurant

The food was good. I ordered the shredded beef taco and enchilada with white sauce. Next time I'll try the ground beef with green sauce. Different flavoring than I'm used to but good. The waitress was knowledgeable and very quick. I say give them a chance. Pricing is extremely reasonable.

The food was very tasty. Service is good. I will come back. I don't know why other people complained. Lots of folks in here.
