My wife and I stopped by Don Maguey for the first time while passing through the area for lunch before heading back home to Boca Raton. Parking was a bit challenging due to the limited number of spaces, but once we walked inside, the experience more than made up for it. We were warmly greeted by Carolina, who also became our server. She was incredibly patient and took her time walking us through the menu, explaining each dish and how everything is prepared. Her dedication to customer satisfaction truly stood out, and we hope management recognizes what an asset she is. Carolina proudly shared that every item on the menu is made in‑house, and it absolutely shows. My wife ordered the Quesadilla de Pollo with a side of Arroz Mexicano and couldn't stop talking about the exceptional flavors. I chose the Tostada al Pastor, a small Tortilla Soup, and a side salad. Everything was delicious, but the Tortilla Soup was the star of the meal--a perfect example of why in‑house preparation matters. Since we're not from the area, we weren't sure where to go for lunch, and we truly lucked out choosing Don Maguey--and having Carolina as our server. Thank you, Carolina. As the banner on the app says, MEXICAN FOOD MADE WITH LOVE, and our visit proved it. read more

BEWARE: Before I get to the food; the waitress is manipulating the system to receive more of a tip. My food total charge with tax was $60 and change, I left a $10 and change tip. When I looked 20 minutes after at my credit card statement read I had been charged $77 and change pending a potential tip on top of that, even with tip included it is still over approximately $7 what I signed off for. We called to determine the prices of each individual meal and "the manager" was stumbling to tell us the prices for everything. Even with the fake numbers that were given to us it still didn't add up correctly. I remember the prices for the 3 meals my family and I ordered and I remember what the check said. I let it be because maybe they need more than I do. As for the food, I'm born and raised on the border of Mexico and although I must say it does scream authenticity especially on appearance the meat is bland, and that "Mexican rice" is by far the worst tasting rice I've had. For a casual person that likes Mexican food you may like it, but if you know what you're tasting you will not. Also, they didn't have 4 different things on the menu available ultimately leading me to have to go with my 5th option. It is very expensive for what it is, and even more expensive when your waitress manipulates the system. read more

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. read more

**4.5 stars Tried this spot for the first time and it genuinely caught me off guard--in a good way. We showed up around 3pm on a Sunday and waited about 30 minutes, which felt fair once we realized how small and cozy the place is. Seating is limited, so a bit of patience helps. The food delivered--everything was solid--and the service moved along at a nice pace without feeling rushed. The only real headache? Parking. It's pretty tight and can take some circling to snag a spot. All in, a really enjoyable lunch and definitely worth a return visit... maybe just with a parking strategy next time. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Best Birria Tacos & Chicken Mole I have ever in Miami hands down!!! The service was phenomenal quick and the atmosphere was personal and felt like I was in Mexico. The prices are a bit expensive compared to other Mexican restaurants but the quality is definitely there without a doubt. Delicious, friendly staff, and even complimentary chips and salsa. P.S- get the horchata it wasn't too sweet but very refreshing. Highly recommend to anyone! read more

We loved everything we ate here!! As someone who grew up in Arizona, and was traveling from California, I was floored at how delicious and authentic the food was. Favorites included both the salsas provided when we sat down (spicy though, especially the red salsa, so beware), the rib-eye tacos, the vegetarian burrito, the margaritas (strong!), and the enchiladas. The horchata was also solid. My uncle, also from AZ, said it was the best vegetarian burrito he had ever had. For the enchiladas, the red sauce is a more plain tomato-base whereas the green sauce was more flavorful, but both were good, it's just up to preference. The red sauce was elevated by mixing in the spicy red salsa. Overall everything we ate and drank was delicious. It is a bit loud and crowded inside, but we were able to sit right away nonetheless on a Thursday around 7pm. It's just not a very spread out/roomy table situation so be prepared to possibly cram in a bit. Worth it for the food, though. And service was also great. read more

Food was very tasty. Service was very good by the owner's wife, Angelica. Ambiance was very family oriented, small quaint place. Definitely recommend visiting. We were party of 3. We had 4 margaritas on the rocks which were very good. Ordered one guacamole Classico which was small, but tasty. My wife and I shared the Tlayuda Al Pastor. The size of a medium pizza. Again, very tasty, but did not care for the toasted base dough. Hard to handle, delivered without being cut. Difficult to eat. Half chicken and half beef. My sister had the agua chile which we highly recommend. She also had 2 beef tacos en costra, carne asada, that were very good! Not a chain restaurant. Definitely authentic experience. read more

This was my first time here ... What can I say ... the food was amazing ... the flautas were simply perfect ... with just the right amount of cream and cheese. The star dish the mole chicken was and is possibly the best I have ever had either here in the states or in actual Mexico !!!! The tacos were flavorful and yummy Without a doubt the next Mexican restaurant in the city of Miami hands down ... They gained a new customer ... Prices were adequate and service was excellent A very small place with a big punch A perfect 10 out of 10 from me !!!! read more

Came here on a weekday for lunch. Appreciated the complimentary chips and the two salsas it came with--they didn't skimp on the spice for sure. Excited to try the molcajete ($36) for the first time. Loved the variety of meats (beef, chicken, pork, chorizo, shrimp) that came out piping hot and they were all super flavorful. Definitely filling as there was also roasted queso blanco, rice & beans, tortillas. I can see why it's for 2-3 people--for 2 people we had leftovers. The service was friendly and attentive. My one concern was parking. Even though I came on a weekday, parking was limited since the parking lot is shared with all the other businesses in that same strip. The lot was full and we waited for 5 minutes before luckily someone left. Overall would consider coming back to try their other menu items! read more

We came to this small yet cozy little restaurant to try Oaxacan traditionally food. We were sat right away and giving a menu and promptly are orders were taken. If you are looking into authentic Mexican food this place really brings the flavors of Mexico. Main dishes range anywhere from $12-36 depending on your preference, we choose to go with the burrito and La Combinacion but everything on the menu looked amazing. Definitely a place to go if you are on the area for good Mexican food. Service was also great and fast. No reservations are needed. read more

I came for the mole and it did not disappoint. The shopping center that it's in does not give you much confidence as you park. However, all of that melts away as you are greeted by the host and see all of the smiling guests sitting around enjoying their food as it's an extension of their home. It's not a big place - so be prepared to wait. I came on a Sunday evening around 6:30 pm and just missed the dinner rush crowd. You would not expect such deliciousness in this neighborhood south of MIA airport, east of Westchester. I found out about this place from a video on social media. Their table salsa game is pretty strong and a good pre-amble to what else was coming. I laser focused on the chicken mole enchiladas and they were quite good. The black mole was semi sweet and slightly smoky and make for a great dipping sauce as well. The entree came with rice and beans. Not sure the sides were authentic Mexican recipes - but it was still good. Next time I try the enchiladas suizas! #YUM read more

I'm always on the lookout for a good, authentic Mexican restaurant. This is the place! I came here on a Saturday night. It was busy. I had to park on the street where it said NO PARKING. But everyone was parked there, as their parking lot is very small. There was a 25 minute wait, even though it was only for one person. It was about 6pm. They called my cell phone, as I went to sit in my car. There's nowhere to wait. Sadly, they told me that there was "no TO-Go service as they were full"! That was very disappointing as I had told my kids I'd bring them all back something and they'd all chosen things off of the menu. Once I was sat, however, the lady asked me if I was there for dine in, or to-go?!? So I guess they could have done take away? ‍ They sat me at the bar. I ordered the Don elotes and the mole chicken enchiladas. They brought me a basket of chips with red and green salsa. Both salsas were pretty spicy. The red was more spicy. The chips are pretty bland, but something to hold you off while you wait for your food. The elotes arrived very hot. I had to wait a while to be able to eat them. They were pretty good. The mole chicken enchiladas came out shortly after. They came with a side of rice and refried beans. Everything was delicious! I was only able to eat half of everything and I was stuffed! They have beer, wine, sangria, and margaritas. BUT, the margaritas are just from a bottle of premixed stuff that you can buy in Publix. They just shake it in a shaker and pour it into a salted rim glass. They are NOT handmade margaritas. So, I just had water. I was happily surprised that everyone spoke perfect English. The waitress who took care of me was great! Very helpful and professional! The reviews all say that people spend $10-20 a person. I don't know how. My bill was $32 before tax or tip. I would definitely love to go back and try some other menu items. Everything looks good. I would go on a day that's not so busy though. read more

This place was very underwhelming. I saw a lot of hype on IG reels and Yelp reviews which had me excited to try it. The nachos and queso fundido was decent but both entrees the burrito and birria tacos were bad. Also what really did it for me was how horrible the service was. From the beginning our server had an attitude the whole time. Didn't really acknowledge us at all and finally when the bill came we realized why. The tip was already included at 18%, overall I would not recommend this restaurant as there's plenty others nearby that are way better. read more

I have had this little Mexican fare gem bookmarked for a while now and finally had the opportunity to stop in, and I'm glad I did! It sits in an unassuming shopping plaza that definitely looked a little... tired. But don't let the outside appearance deter you. Inside was adorable!! When we arrived it was quiet with only 1 other table seated. Things definitely picked up though, and by the time we left it was full. We arrived early, around 5. My bestie ordered 3 steak tacos, and I ordered the chicken fajitas. Complimentary chips and 2 types of salsa were brought to the table while we waited. I lovedddd my fajitas. The chicken and veggies were really tasty. The rice and beans that it came with were pretty good, as well. My bestie had some trouble with her tacos. They came with the corn tortillas, but the tortilla broke in half the minute she lifted it. She tried the other two and the same thing happened. We then asked if they could bring flour tortillas for her instead, and that was much better. She did like the flavor of the meat and it came with lots of meat. No skimping there, which was nice. Service was pretty good. Parking looks like it could be problematic during a busy time. The lot and plaza were small. Overall, the food was delicious and service was good, and my friend and I will definitely return. read more

OMG FINALLY A REAL AGUACHILES IN MIAMI! I love Mexican food, but here in Miami it's been very difficult to find authentic Mexican flavors.

The flavor, the consistency, Wow! My new favorite restaurant!! Anyone who loves the real taste of Mexican food will understand! read more

Let me tell you this place has a small parking lot. There are 11 tables inside the restaurant with some photo selfie spots inside. It was nice looking inside and the waitress helped explain some of the food we had never heard of. So we placed an order for Esquite and Queso Fundido for appetizers. excellent taste and decent size. My entree was something I had never heard of. Tlayuda which appeared to be a Mexican pizza was a little hard to eat and if I were to describe what it was. I guess would call it a very large tostada with a slightly crunchy tortilla covered with protein, black beans, cheese, cabbage, onions, tomatoes, and avocado. It was made for two people. the waitress gave me a small taste of the short-rib tacos. Try this, it was so good. food was good but make sure you go early parking lot parking becomes a nightmare read more

Okay, here is another traveling gb review for you. If you are in Miami and close to the airport and find yourself hungry, let me recommend Don Maguey's. In one of many strip malls, Don Maguey's has about 10 tables (maybe). The chips are fresh--meaning, they fry their own corn tortillas. We had an order of shrimp and chicken fajitas. Oh my! The food was so flavorful and the meat was so tender. The refried beans (more like bean soup) were so favorable. The pico and guacamole were fresh and so delicious. The only "meh" goes to the rice--just okay. We didn't drink alcohol, but had diet Cokes and cold water. Granted, I was hungry, but I'm so glad we visited Don Maguey's. read more
