    Enmoladas de pollo
    Valentina A.

    I could give this place 20 stars. Absolutely perfection from beginning to end. No fancy decor to distract you. The food is the focus, and that is what we came to experience. Each dish carefully, and delightfully created to elevate each individual ingredient into their highest potential. The pork belly aguachile wasn't too acidic, a common mistake in these dishes, or too spicy. It was beautifully balanced with the seasoning and texture of the pork belly. The short rib tacos arrive in a sizzling molcajete, smelling like rancho, and history. Tasting like heaven. I would change NOTHING. Add nothing. Take away nothing. The richness of the short rib perfectly seasoned, in a delicate broth where the chiles and spices reign supreme. Not outshining the beef, but dancing along with it. Last but certainly not least, the mole. My god, that mole!! Exquisite. Devine. Sheer bliss. It is Oaxaca style, with decadent notes of cacao, different toasted nuts and seeds, along with garlic and tomatillos. No one component outshining the other, but rather, working together to elevate an otherwise simple chicken dish. The mole alone is worth your time and your dime. Can't wait to go back and try other items on this exquisite menu. Mis respetos, chef.

    Super fast service, great good! Small spot but overall I would come back to try more. In Miami I didn't come across many Mexican restaurants, this spot did not disappoint. The salsas that cane with the complimentary chips, were so tasty! A nice kick for those who like spicy. My entree was sopes. I had 2 of Al Pastor and one of Beef. Great flavors, just don't like pineapple in my pastor. I wish I could've asked for none because it had more than meat. A nice crispy cold coke on the side just topped off everything. Overall, the restaurant is super small and clean. Waitress was the only one there handling a handful of people and did so well making sure everyone was comfortable!

    Don Maguey is one of the best Mexican restaurants in Miami. Recently I realized that I had not made a review for Don Maguey and it is totally worth coming here. Service is always good. Super friendly waiters and an amazing kitchen make this restaurant a great experience every time you come here. The menu isn't big but it truly has everyone's favorite dishes. Tacos, sopes, enchiladas, mole and many, many more. The key is everything is made fresh daily. The al pastor tacos, green enchiladas, birria and the mole sauce are all incredibly delicious. Try their micheladas and also the spicy margaritas (both super good). The restaurant ambiance is very cozy and inviting. Its simple but nicely decorated. Give it a try.

    If you are looking for good Mexican food in an informal setting, this is your place. Parking is limited so plan accordingly! Flavors are good and fresh and the service is friendly and prompt. We will be back.

    What a GREAT find via Yelp! It was exactly what I was hoping to find! My daughter had the taste for Mexican and this place seemed to fit the bill! Great signage outside, so they were easy to spot driving there. They were kind of busy when we walked in at about 7:30 PM on a Tuesday, but we were able to sit down right away. The server came over to us immediately, she was very friendly, very professional looking and very accommodating. Our only disappointment was that it was Tuesday and they did not have any 'Taco Tuesday specials. We started off ordering two margaritas. One a regular and one being a passionfruit. These two margaritas were definitely handmade without any high fructose. Corn syrup mixes added to it. They were absolutely delicious, in fact, some of the best margaritas I ever had. We ended up ordering both tacos and a burrito. The flavor of the food was excellent, the temperature was hot and the portions were excellent. As with most Mexican restaurants, we were served tortilla chips and salsa that were fresh and slightly warm. I have to say that this was definitely a great experience and I would not hesitate to go back again because of the friendly people, delicious food and great atmosphere.

    Great service and nice place. However, they didn't have available the dish I came for, I understand it was late. The food was good but It needed more flavor. I ordered from their food truck from and it was way better.

    Beef Burrito

    Went with friends on a Wednesday evening and it got quite crowded. It seemed like it may have been a neighborhood place. The service was not that great. Tiny basket of chips were brought to the table as well as 2 teeny tiny sauces for dipping. One red and one green. There was no salsa offered. The food was cooked fresh and everything came out very quickly and in a pretty presentation. I had a beef burrito which was ok. It seemed on the small side to me. I would try something different next time.

    It's hard to find authentic quality Mexican food in this area but this place totally took me by surprise. The quality of food was amazing and the customer service was excellent! Not to mention the atmosphere was very welcoming! I would definitely recommend this place!

    Holy cow this was so delicious! Flew in from Houston and found this close to our hotel. Best Mexican food I've had. Ever. And the margaritas were SO good. Great service and quaint atmosphere! 10/10!

    This small place is located in a strip mall. The local police were eating at a table in the back which is a good sign. We were not disappointed! Everything here was great. The food was hot and delicious and the beer was ice cold. Service was excellent too.

    We came late on Sunday. This restaurant is located in a very rundown strip mall. The place itself is small but it has very festive decorations. The attention was on point by Edelso, he was very attentive and gave us great recommendations. We ordered the fish tacos and the shrimp tacos. Both were delicious. Fresh fish and seafood plus the tortilla is clearly homemade and was delicious. The seasoning was on point too. Overall it was a nice experience!

Mauricio was at the bar and we definitely missed being under his attention by not sitting there. Eliezer (the Venezuelan waiter from Mérida) took care of us in the dining room. Both are always very friendly and attentive. This time we decided to sit in the dining room because we were a group of three and had a lot to talk about. The place has 4 TVs and we were able to enjoy the France vs Spain match. We all ordered La Tropical Draft beer, a light, smooth, and very refreshing blonde. In total we had 16 beers . We shared nachos with grilled steak, which were very good (they pour the melted cheese right at the table). We also ordered tripa tacos well toasted (that's the technique) as we requested, and they came out excellent. Note: They have different promotions or offers depending on the day, not a regular happy hour variety, so it's good to be aware of that. The restaurant offers a good variety of 8 salsas: Sirloin, Chips, Guacamole, Verde, Vicente, Pastor, Chilanga, and Asada. Good atmosphere, pleasant service, and tasty food. We'll definitely keep coming back.

The music selection is fire though and I was jamming out the whole time while waiting for my food. I complimented them on the music selection and they mentioned the owner is dominican and puerto rican which explained the great music selection. I was helped out by Adrian and his service was helpful in finding what dishes to order. I took my food to go and it was piping hot, definitely made fresh to order which I enjoyed. The nachos were what I was most eager to try as they are all the rage on social media. They lived up to the hype and that nacho cheese is absolute gold. I love that it's served in a pizza box. It just makes it iconic. It travels well and everything was still hot when I got home. The Al Pastor taco was just okay, nothing to write home about but now the steak burrito was really really good. I love that they don't have rice in their burritos and instead replace it with potatoes, which is absolutely delicious. They give two different types of salsas with your order plus limes and the green salsa is unreal. Add it to everything for a flavor boost! All in all this place is fire and if you're craving nachos, this is definitely the place you should come to get your fix!

Ever since I tried their steak Caesar salad I've been obsessed. That was my usual from there for 5 years. 2 nights ago we ordered from uptown and when we got our order I was so angry I didn't want to even eat my food. 1. Steak literally looked like wet dog food 2. They no longer do the frisée salad instead It's just plain old Romaine lettuce 3. For some reason they stopped giving their salsa now which was the highlight of my order 4. The container is so small and the egg was so hot that it melted all the Parmesan cheese and it was just a nasty glob 5. The eggs were so over boiled that they had that grey tint on the yolk and smelled horrible 6. 2 salads cost almost $50 so jokes on us Never again!!! I've literally banned uptown from our house.
