El Maguey Mexican Restaurant

I am now going to enjoy a Modelo after my dinner & write this review. First however, I wish to state this review is from me. A trusted honest Yelper. Be advised Yelp has hundred of thousands of fake reviews. Malicious 1 stars from competitors, and glowing fake fluff 5 star reviews written by SEO experts fraudsters, friends and family. I have no relation to this biz. Ok onto my review. Exterior of building first impressions. Needs work. Lots of it. Slum Lord plaza owners fault. As long as he is getting rent from this ( double space) and other 3 -4 tenants not spending a nickel on pressure washing, paint, repairs. Service 5 stars by two gals. Food Quality. Delicious. I ate it all. See photos. Reasonably priced. Interior... Clean. But some items need attention. Again... Landlord is slumlord. But still clean the dusty AC vent, touch up paint, and work on decor. If I was owner, I would rearrange few things and add 12 -16 more seats. Separate bar and kitchen with an inexpensive curtain. Or 1/2 dividing wall / planter. Better lighting. More intimate and less Taco Bell fast food. Remove TV and just play Mexican tunes. Ambiance is lacking. Not a fan of putty green. For not a lot, redo most walls with fresh plaster, texture. Spray water leaked stained ceiling tiles black. Again landlord ... Rented this unit as is...will let Tennant improve his building. Me, Id tell the slumlord fix his falling apart facade and clean up the weeds and trash. Paint the broken nasty looking parking blocks. Front is not welcoming. Paint isn't that much. I'm not going to hold the business owner responsible and deduct 1 star. But these things do need attention. Also the Web presence could be improved. Old menus, etc....remove. So In the end 5 stars. Hard working, pleasant staff. Very good food....compliments to the cook.

I cannot believe I just figured out that this place was a restaurant and not a grocery store. Folks, this place is the Real Deal for Texas-Mex. EUREKA!!' I have finally found it!!!The food is outstanding, the service is super personable, and the prices are reasonable. The place is small, but very clean. No cucarachas around here. I HIGHLY recommend El Maguey. Like the Terminator, I'll be back. Again and again

Decided to try a new place. Parking was easy. We were a party of 4 and seated immediately in a comfortable booth.The staff were amazing. Very friendly and fast! I ordered a taco salad. It comes in a tortilla shell with lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, sour cream and guacamole. I picked steak as my meat. Unfortunately the taco salad was mostly lettuce. There were only a few tomatoes, a sprinkling of cheese, a dollop of sour cream and guacamole, and the meat was not seasoned. Would not unfortunately come back based on the food.

This hidden gem is so delicious! Authentic Mexican, family owned and sooooo good!! If want real Mexican food, you must stop in here. Everyone was so friendly, place was clean and lots of people picking up food to go as well. If looking, look no more...just come here. You'll love it! Again this is authentic....not commercial BS food.

The girls working were so nice to us The salsa it's spicy at all but I asked for some spicier and got it for sure which I loved. The salsa that they give you mix them and it's perfection!!! My husband got lengua & barbacoa tacos and their corn is homemade I got the bistec a la mexicana and I couldnt stop eating it. The meats was so tender. I will for sure come back again.

We visited this location sunday after the mlb baseball game. We chose this place based on reviews and they seemed legit. Once we arrived we notice the business was in a small shopping center and we decided to still go since we where hungry and needed to hit the road to miami. The first thing that that caught our attention was the restaurant was very hot and had to request employee to turn it on, me and my kids where sweaty. The bathroom was like a gas station's bathroom or worse. I ordered and michelada and the beer was also HOT. For us to have spend $120 it's just not worth it. If your close to them and buy it to go thats ok but not a place to go with the family as a regular restaurant.

this restaurant is absolutely garbage. yesterday me and my wife were celebrating cinco de mayo. and got some chicken fajitas. and some chips. and this was the worst mexican food ever first of all. 2 me and my wife were trying to sleep. until our stomachs started rumbling and our bodies started pouring sweat. and some of the worst body pains and nausea. we went to the hospital and we are definitely diagnosed with food poisoning. from this place it's terrible and the food was HORRIBLE. do not come here. if i could give it a 0 starts i would. el maguey more like el fucking nasty. get this place shut down.

I've loved this place since I moved here six years ago. Excellent food and friendly service.

Big menu with many selections. The tamales are just ok, the soup dish is much better. Overall, happy with what I got.

Ordered delivery. Very run-off-the-mill-food; lots and lots of cheese everywhere, not much flavor. My husband's chiles rellenos, however, were the spiciest he's ever had (and he's had lots of them in the last 35 years). No reason for us to go back.
