2023-05-06 03:55:31At this Mexican spot, the foods just okay,The tortas decent, but wont blow you away,The tacos, alas, are a different story,Their tortillas are big, which dampens the glory.The flavors arent bad, but nothing stands out,And the service is average, without any clout,But if youre in the area and need a quick bite,This place might suffice, though its not quite right.The atmospheres pleasant, with a cozy vibe,But the tacos are a miss, which I cant abide,And though the tortas tasty, its not worth a trip,Overall, this place doesnt quite hit the hip.So if youre in the mood for Mexican fare,There are better options out there, if you dare,But if you find yourself in this spot by chance,Order the torta, and give the tacos a pass.

2022-02-10 08:50:58Not sure why it took me this long to visit El Maguey. But the moment I walked in I was greeted by the friendly staff. The place is very inexpensive and the food is amazing. This is authentic Mexican food. I ordered some tacos and they were delicious, my wife ordered the shrimp fajitas and they were amazing. She couldnt finish the whole plate. Also they have different variety of salsas and every single tasted amazing. This is a great place to get Mexican food around San carlos, and belmont. The only downside is the limited space to dine in. And the parking lot situation. But if you want great tacos, this is the place to go!

2022-10-21 00:46:43Super burrito was great, filling, and only like 10 bucks. The contents got a little soggy and not as flavorful as I hoped but still satisfying af. Nothing a bunch of salsa cant fix though! Its really nice that chips and salsa are free. Overall, quick, cheap, filling, and tasty. Its nice to grab it to go and then have a 1 minute walk over to the park next over to eat it outside.Food: 6/10Vibes: 5/10Service: 7/10Value: 8/10

2018-11-05 21:48:40Fantastic authentic Mexican food. The chicken tacos are a solid and reliable choice. The salsa bar with unlimited tortilla chips is a great addition with an ample selection of salsas (including mango, my personal favorite).

2023-01-24 05:47:24Staff is really nice. Food portions are good; taste-wise, they’re okay. They get a lot of take outs and mobile orders I think from what I’ve seen.

2021-04-20 13:44:10Have eaten takeout from here many times and the food is excellent taqueria-style food. Ordered from their covid friendly line inside and had delicious breakfast burritos vegetarian, horchata and Peruvian cookies. All delicious to go with an abundant selection of salsas. No line mid morning.

2017-11-17 20:36:58Super burrito and quesadilla (pollo asado) are both equally delicious! If Im too lazy to bring a lunch for work, its my go-to. And every time the food is just as tasty as the last. Really friendly and fast service too. I love it.

2017-03-08 19:07:45Seriously some of the best Mexican-style dishes around. Potentially the best Ive had. Prices were good. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Food was amazingly good.
