" El Maguey is a restaurant that feels like home. The staff was incredibly welcoming, and the atmosphere was vibrant. The salsa, served fresh, was the perfect dip for my tortilla chips. The tacos al pastor were loaded with flavor, definitely made with authentic ingredients. I’m excited to explore more of the menu on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m really torn about my experience at El Maguey. The food was delicious, but the service was painfully slow. We waited ages to place our order, and even longer for it to arrive. I had the burrito, which was generously sized and tasty, but the wait really put a damper on my mood. I’d be willing to try again, but I hope they improve the service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with the service during our last visit. We waited too long for our food, despite the restaurant not being fully packed. The food itself was fine, but not enough for the long wait. I do appreciate the ambiance of the place, though. Hopefully, they can improve their service because the food is fairly good! " (*Curated Review*)

" It was my first time visiting El Maguey, and I was blown away by the hospitality! The churros were the highlight of our meal—crispy and sweet! However, the table service was somewhat slow. I hope this improves because the food was truly delicious and deserves better service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to El Maguey after hearing so much about their tacos, and wow, they did not disappoint! Each taco is prepared with a perfect blend of spices. The service was incredible; our waiter was friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean and had a great vibe. I can’t wait to visit again and try more from the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I don’t typically leave reviews, but El Maguey deserves one! The fish tacos were outstanding, arguably the best I’ve had outside of Mexico! The atmosphere was colorful, and the staff was eager to help. I discovered them during a friend's birthday party, and now I want to try everything else on the menu. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food tasted great but I was underwhelmed by the service on my last visit; I had to wait a good while for my check. However, I will give them credit because the food did indeed hit the spot! The enchiladas were delicious but could use a bit more sauce. I might consider returning despite the service issue. " (*Curated Review*)
