El Maguey - Lake Side Mexican Restaurant

Came for a birthday last minute get together. We sat outside, had a very nice view. I didn't eat but I had some drinks and they were very good. Ordered the carne asada burrito to go for my hubby. He said it was delicious. Looking forward to coming back for food and drinks.

Service was fantastic. Unfortunately, the food was bland. This was especially surprising because the salsa was good. I had a combo plate with a beef enchilada and it tasted more like Italian spaghetti sauce than Mexican food. Disappointing.

I swear not only do they have better prices they taste so much better than other places around and less crowded usually! Plus on nice days they have the patio open to eat on which is so relaxing!

There is not much to talk about. It's not the greatest, not the worst Mexican restaurant and food

Food was pretty good. Great view of the lake!! Stained glass ceiling. Beautiful.

Best view around! Tasty food and good service

Ordered a #30 combo, burrito and chilli renello were inedible as they were swimming in a watery red sauce that tasted like a cheap pasta sauce. Plus none of the meat tasted like it was seasoned at all. Never had Mexican food this bad. Plus menu doesn't even have descriptions so your guessing what you are ordering if you order online.

TLDR;
The food was mediocre and the service was strange. Definitely not on my return visit list. Try it out if you are passing through, stay away if you're local.

It was after the lunch rush in a not so busy area. We sat next to the window several benches down from the door on the left. We were seating next to the service door where they come in and out from the kitchen. A woman was standing next to the service door across from our table the entire time we were there. We needed some help and asked for some napkins. She just looked at us strangely and nodded a few times. It was awkward as all get out for the first fifteen minutes. It wasn't until AFTER our waiter walked over and she spoke to him in Spanish that I realized she had no idea what we were saying. This whole time she's been staring at us smiling... and was doing what exactly? A few minutes would have been acceptable, but I'm talking 30-45 minutes. It was weird.

The server was really nice to us, but he did nothing to move the woman from standing beside us. He acted like she didn't exist and gave short responses when she spoke to him. It was one of the strangest lunches I've ever had.

We LOVED the patio as usual. The portions are more and more fresh than expected. The flavor was full and fresh. They give good service in a clean environment.
