Not that great. I wasn't impressed!! I couldn't see the waiter ever! Instead of giving my big family a booth ( like they did 2 or 3 people) they sat us in front in the middle. Just weird!! I'll never go back there for sure!!

HONEST POST
So, in the past I have spent a lot of money at El Magueys because the flavor of the food tasted good to me, but I will no longer patronize this business due to the poor quality and quantity of the food order that I paid for tonight and also the poor quality of how the manager handled my issue with the food order. Usually when I’m feeling in the mood for some El Magueys I always have ordered the volcano fajitas for my husband and I. Sometimes I may order the El Toriado just to eat something different and my son loves the Chicken nachos with extra queso on the side. About a week ago, I decided that I wanted to try something different besides what I usually order so I decided on some fajita nachos and when i tasted them I was very pleased And have been thinking about getting another order throughout the week. So tonight, I order volcano fajitas for my husband and fajita nachos for myself, hoping that the taste will be the very same taste that I had the last time. Upon opening the container I see a lot of veggies on top. I see a few meats, but I just thought maybe they’re buried under the chips. I start to eat the fajita nachos. I eat about two shrimp A piece of chicken, a piece of steak and the shrimp tasted fine, but the chicken and steak didn’t have any flavor almost tasted like water. The cheese tasted good. The chips were fine and so I decided I don’t wanna eat anymore because it didn’t taste the same. I called the restaurant And asked to speak to the manager, the male person that answered the phone said he was the manager. I told him about the food having no seasoning and he asked can I bring it back? I knew I had ate a few pieces of shrimp and a few pieces of meat so I was kind of not wanting to take it back but at the same time the food just didn’t taste good .,So I took it back And the manager seen that it had been eaten out of well of course it had been, how else would I know that there was no flavor in the food? So he kept saying that I had eaten most of it when in truth I did not. It did not taste good so why would I eat it all? So He brought out a replacement and it looked nothing like the order I had received. It was tons of steak on top shrimp, lots of meat that was not in my order, but I did not complain about the portion because I thought that the flavor would still be the same. And it’s not the first time that they barely put meat on any of my orders, but I’ve never complained in the past because again it tasted really good to me. So the manager proceeded to try to make me feel bad I guess by saying that I ate all of the meat out of the order that I received which in fact I did not and by this time, my appetite has left anyway and I just told them just keep everything I don’t want the money. I don’t want the food because if you think that I would try to get something free after the amount of money that I spent at your establishment….SHAME ON YOU! I’ve seen other reviews of the poor service from this place, and I did not want to believe it because of the great food that I’ve received in the past, But I will no longer patronize this establishment and I hope anybody that reads this and you still want to order here. Check your food and picture before you leave Just in case you have an issue and have to bring it back. I would hate for anybody else to go through what I’ve went through. DO BETTER EL MAGUEY OR YOU WILL CONTINUE TO LOSE LOYAL, GOOD PAYING CUSTOMERS.

The restaurant and the staff are nice and the food was good, but It was all a bit plain. I ordered the chimichanga as it is usually the biggest item on the menu. Instead, theirs was about a third of the size of one of their burritos. Their chips and salsa were very plain and had no spice or kick. The chimi was a chicken one. While the shredded chicken was decent, it was basically plain shredded chicken stuffed into a plain tortilla. No peppers, no seasoning, nothing exciting. Good, but I'm going to keep looking for something better.

Horrible. Taco meat was not cooked and cold. My daughter threw up after eating the chicken strips. Never again

This is Tex Mex. If your burrito is topped with a sauce, it's no longer a burrito. I swear the salsa is straight out of a generic brand Pace picante jug of salsa. Picture is of a real burrito compared to El Mucho tex mex burrito (I did ask for no sauce on my burrito but is came out rolled with open ends and melted cheese on top, again I'd say it's a monstrosity and a crime). They also like to place you near the back by the noisy kitchen even when the front is preferred. Which begs the question of -do people just eat-n-run or is the staff too lazy and wants all the guest near the kitchen?
