" Visited El Maguey for the first time and was very happy! Our server was attentive, and the atmosphere was vibrant. I ordered tamales and they were everything I wanted. However, the wait for our food was longer than expected, but the food was worth the wait. I would encourage anyone to try it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very mixed experience at El Maguey. While some dishes were fantastic, others took a nosedive. My shrimp tacos were salty, but the margaritas were spot on! The atmosphere is vibrant; perfect for lively gatherings. The servers were pleasant enough, though I felt rushed towards the end. I think I'd give it another shot, just need to choose carefully next time. " (*Curated Review*)
