Dudes, craving some legit tacos? Forget the fancy restaurants and overpriced fillings. Taqueria El Maguey might be out of a gas station, but don't let that fool you. They have a separate walk-up window and outdoor seating, so you can enjoy the real deal without stepping foot inside.This place is no-frills, but man, do they know how to make a taco. The second you walk up to the window, the smell of sizzling meat and fresh tortillas hits you like a flavor wave. It's like stepping into a little slice of Mexico, right there at the gas pump.Now, let's talk about the star of the show: their pastor tacos. These things are legendary. Picture perfectly marinated pork, cooked on a vertical rotisserie until it's crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. They pile it onto fresh, warm tortillas with pineapple chunks, onions, and cilantro. Each bite is an explosion of flavor and texture – sweet, savory, salty, with a kick of freshness. Hands down, the best tacos I've had in town. Period.And let's not forget the salsas. They have a killer selection, from mild and tangy to fiery hot. I went for a mix of both – perfect for adding a little extra flavor and heat to my tacos.The service at El Maguey is friendly and fast. The staff is happy to answer questions and help you navigate the menu. Plus, the prices are crazy reasonable. You can get a full bellyful of delicious tacos without breaking the bank.Look, if you're after a fancy sit-down meal, this ain't it. But if you want authentic, mouthwatering tacos in a casual, grab-and-go setting, Taqueria El Maguey is the place to be. It gets 5 stars from this happy customer. Just be prepared to fight the urge to order seconds (or thirds).

Food is good. The ladies they have working tonight 2/23 are rude! She got mad at me bc I couldn’t understand what she was saying. If you go here expect rude employees! Never will I go again! All I wanted to do was pick up my online order and she look confused and got an attitude bc I told her I have no idea what your saying and I showed her my online order on my phone and still didn’t understand. Rude!!!!!!

Very good tacos and friendly service. It is a small hole in the wall with outdoor benches. However, they are tasty with good salsas and nice presentation.

I googled my taco experience and wanted something new. I decided to travel 59 miles ordered the steak tacos, and they were absolutely terrible. The steak was dry and flavorless, and it tasted like it had been cooked over a campfire. The tortillas were also stale, and the toppings were bland. And it tasted like the ashes of a lit cigarette.What?! Really!Man,To make matters worse, the entire food tasted and smelled like cigarettes. I could barely taste the food because of the smoke.I would never recommend this trash to anyone. The food is terrible, the service is slow, and the atmosphere is awful. If you're looking for good tacos, you should definitely avoid this place.Here are some of the specific things that went wrong:The steak was dry and flavorless.The tortillas were stale.The toppings were bland.The entire restaurant smelled like cigarettes.Seriously this is bottom 5 tacos I’ve ever had.Vegetarian options: YesKid-friendliness: YesParking: YesWheelchair accessibility: YesDietary restrictions: Yes
