What Adam Diemert doesn't like about El Maguey:
Excellent service! Very attentive and friendly. I enjoyed that part of the experience. But the food was just not very good. Very oily and greasy, not much flavor on anything. I mean… really greasy. Hardly edible. View all feedback. What Uriel Farrell likes about El Maguey:
I got the callejeros tacos with garnel and carne asada and it was very good always enjoyed what I got here. also ordered a jumbo frozen lime margarita to drink more than enough for me! the jumbo probably corresponds to two normal drinks. they were also short workers there today, and super busy, and still managed excellent service. it is a smaller place, but as firm as the larger ones.

Great and unassuming Mexican fare served by friendly staff. Price is pretty cheap and quality has not been a problem in the over 20 years I've been coming here....

Amazing experience on my lunch break. Was served super fast, and the birria tacos were insane. Definitely going to be coming here more often for sure!

El Maguey offers excellent service with attentive and friendly staff, despite some reports of being short-staffed and busy. The food receives mixed reviews, with some patrons enjoying their meals while others found them bland and greasy. The restaurant has been a favorite for over 20 years, offering unassuming and affordable Mexican fare. Recent updates show the same great food quality and service, even in the face of new competition nearby. While some diners have had disappointing experiences, such as receiving subpar dishes or noticing cleanliness issues, others have praised the attentive service and overall dining experience at El Maguey.
