“ Hands down the best Mexican food in the Midwest. You can tell their tortillas are homemade, as well as their hot sauces, guac, and beans. I wish I could rate them even higher. ”
“ I had a hard time finishing this large meal, but I did it. I order something different each time, and it is consistently tasty with generous portions! Good pineapple agua fresca and tortilla chips also. Next time (maybe) I'll try ordering in Spanish, agree to the gentleman offering a guitar serenade, and take half of the meal home. They do have some wait staff that speak English, to help with ordering, as the extensive menu has photos but lacks English descriptions. Attractively furnished, with a lot of seating in two rooms, (and popular for carry out). (Deducted one star for TVs, as I'm not a fan of that feature in a restaurant. Note- there is another restaurant also named El Maguey nearby, which sort of confused a friend who met me for dinner.) ”
“ The food was really good, highly recommend!! Service was exceptional and it was clean inside. Would definitely come back. ”
“ Celebrated with friends and family. The food and drinks were great but what stuck out the most were the two waitresses that we had. They were amazing always checking in with us and helped with the cake we brought in. They were polite and caring. We will most definitely be back to celebrate more. ”
“ This place is legit!!! The michelada is one of the best I've had! Their food is served hot and fresh!! I had the arroz con pollo and it had some creamy cheese over the chicken and it was SOOOO good!!! Will definitely come back next time I'm in town!! ”
“ Great menu and friendly attentive staff. I ordered Castillos de Puerco, and it was amazing. Will definitely be back.Came back for chilaquiles. Very good! Update... Had the Empenadas. The kitchen hooked me up with a special request. Chorizo con papas empenadas. Muy rico! They were amazing. See photos. ”
“ We just finished a delicious meal that was served hot and fresh. My daughter and I ordered Arroz con Pollo and my husband ordered Pollo Asada. The server was so nice and very polite and attentive. She returned several times to our table asking if we needed anything. ”
“ I had a delicious dinner! No waiting. Sat down and right away I had chips, salsa and a menu. I ordered the special. Bistec a la Ranchera. As you can see it's great and filling! It comes with three home made tortillas. They have Mexican drinks. Orchata is my favorite. It's hidden, once you find it you'll want to go back! Make sure to ask for Maritza! ”
