Good Mexican food, great menu, margaritas could have been better. Service was good. Prices were reasonable.
Food was very delicious and fast. Service was perfect.
I had previously had some poor experiences regarding El Maguey's service (I couldn't find someone to give me the check or help me check out), but my visiting family talked me into going back. I am quite happy they did so, as our visit was amazing.
On our approach to the restaurant we could smell grilled meat, which was delicious and a powerful enough scent to crowd out anything else. Upon entering, a friendly, husky young man greeted us and immediately made sure we were seated. He and all the rest of the staff were quite pleasant all around, and pretty attentive.
The food has always been good, and this time around, it was amazing. I ordered the chicken fajitas, and they came out with that big sizzling skillet. Curls of steam wafted off, already hinting that this was gonna be an amazing meal. The food was seared to perfection, with a great mix of grill char and well seasoned chicken. It was truly the best fajita I ever experienced.
Both my parents were with me, and they both thoroughly enjoyed their food (a grilled chicken chimichunga and the enchilada special). Our server was quite prompt at getting to us, and everything went really well on the whole.
Even the restaurant's pleasant to sit in, incredibly clean with an inviting atmosphere. It lends itself more to night dining, but it still went really well for us on the whole. Hearty recommend, and I'll certainly be going back!
Had the lunch special, street tacos. I was with my brother we got one chicken and one steak. The chicken was good but the steak was excellent. A harder sear on the chicken could elevate it but my brother disagreed, he felt it was tender just slightly less flavorful. The meal came with two tacos in either chicken or steak. I highly recommend the steak. Well worth the price.
