" So I decided to finally check out Taqueria El Maguey after hearing endless recommendations. I ordered the tortas and they did not disappoint! The flavors were on point, and they were huge! It's all made fresh and honestly worth every penny. Just be ready for a bit of a wait during peak hours, but trust me, it’s totally worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible tacos! So full of flavor and authenticity. The ambiance might be simple, but the food speaks volumes. I tried their steak tacos and they were fantastic. The staff was also welcoming and attentive, making my visit even more enjoyable. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food. The shrimp tacos I had were bursting with flavor and freshness. I also loved the outdoor seating – it gave a nice casual feel to the place. My only suggestion would be for them to further improve their service time during busy hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, I was a bit skeptical given the location of this taqueria, but wow! The tacos al pastor were probably the best I've had outside of Mexico. They were filled generously with perfectly seasoned meat. The salsa selection was also a nice touch. Only downside was the limited seating, but I could care less once I tasted those tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was blown away by Taqueria El Maguey. The flavor in the tacos was just insane, especially the lengua – it was so tender! And don’t even get me started on the fresh tortillas. The only downside is that the seating can be limited, but that won’t stop me from coming back again and again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations and Taqueria El Maguey mostly met them. The tacos were good – fresh ingredients and generous portions. The atmosphere is what you'd expect at a taco joint, very laid back. The only knock was the inconsistent service; some of the staff seemed overwhelmed at peak times. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, my experience here was mixed. The tacos had great flavor but my order took longer than expected. The service wasn’t that attentive and I felt a bit overlooked. However, the food made up for it since the portions were generous and everything was fresh. I’ll probably give it another try. " (*Curated Review*)
