The drinks at Taqueria El Maguey are fabulous--especially the Mango Tango. I appreciated the kids menu and the solid service. The food is there to help suck up the alcohol, not to provide a culinary experience, the one exception being the prawns a la crema in a creamy white sauce. The garlic prawns were large, flayed and served with a small cupful of salsa on the side, with minimal garlic. The sauce for the a la diabla prawns tasted like it had ketchup in it. If you like spicy and flavorful Mexican food, grab a Mango Tango or two or three here and then take an Uber down the street to La Parilla. I'll be back to El Maguey for the Mango Tango, the beautiful courtyard in front, and the fabulous artwork on the walls. Will give the food another try at some point, as we all have not-so-great days in the kitchen. To circumvent my experience, I recommend asking for and ordering one of their signature dishes.

Food is good, very under seasoned (a little salt perked everything right up), except asada was SUPER flavorful. We were told Carnitas is popular, we found it very dry and lacking flavor. Fish tacos were huge, but again, couldn't taste the fish - no seasoning. The slaw on the fish tacos had a nice smokey Chipotle slaw though. Friendly service, though we waited about 15 minutes too long for the check. Beautiful atmosphere. We'll come again, probably. May have been an off day in the kitchen, or they could regularly underseason food to accommodate the public. We shall see!

I got the supreme carnita nachos they were ok not the best I've had but decent. It Didn't have that much cheese or beans lots of chips some guacamole which was good not much sourcream just drizzled, carnitas were ok I have had better. Pretty basic nachos for a supreme. And the meals there are pretty pricey but over all nice atmosphere decent vibe.

Yummy Mexican food at this friendly restaurant! Service was great, efficient and very welcoming. They have large seating indoors and an outdoor patio.

The shrimp platter was so good and portions are quite large! The guac and chips are a nice appetizer and you can ask for more if you want!

This place was great. Came for the coffee pop up outside but stayed to have lunch. Authentic and delicious!

If you’re looking for a Mexican restaurant, come here and you will be very satisfied!
We ordered the guacamole, the ceviche appetizer and the carne assada.
Ceviche was surreal, so refreshing. Exactly what I wanted.
All the food overall was delicious, really! The only item I would pass on that we ordered is the margarita. Not because it wasn’t good, but all the food was so exceptional that the margarita didn’t quite reach that level.
Service was super efficient, food and drinks arrived ultra fast.

Loved the shrimp tacos, and the house margarita. This is a locally owned restaurant, the interior is beautiful, and the exterior is a nice relaxing patio. I definitely recommend it.
