AGAIN I enjoyed their wet burrito! It's huge with loads of meat and queso cheese for a truly WET Burrito. I could only devour half the meal. Making for a great lunch the next day. I ordered online and it was ready exactly when I ordered. Thanks El Maguey for a very good dinner. read more

We eat lunch here regularly. Ask for Josh he is great and pleasant. If you like shrimp, try the shrimp quesadilla

In from out of town so came here with a group for dinner when we all got in. Our waitress was ok but she definitely seemed to have an issue with one member of our party as she forgot to not only put in her drink order then did it again for her food order. But the kicker was when she laid down boxes one person accidentally hit the member of our party that the server just forgot about with the box. Our server laughed about it. We all knew something was up and not a fluke. Food was the typical americanize Mexican. read more

I don't know what happened, but when I ordered my food, we always got the large order of the chunky guacamole and this is what we got this time in the picture. It was nothing but pure pico de gallo with a few chunks of avocado in it they should rename it pico de gallo with a few trunks of avocado will never buy again $10.50 for a bunch of diced tomatoes with onions read more

I keep coming back for the fast service, great food and pleasant staff. Prices are great too!

Ordered $80 of food and NOTHING was seasoned. It was to the point where I had to put my own salt in all of my food. No salsa what so ever, no silverware for my food and all I got for "salsa" was ketchup... I got an entree that comes with queso as well as queso dip on the side and they chose not to add queso to the entree so I then had to use the dip for it. I have been ordering from here for the past year and a half and since then, prices have more than doubled while the service and quality of food has declined. The past 3+ times I've had food from here, it's been very similar to what I got tonight. I am very disappointed in the service as well as the quality of food and what it's becoming. read more

El Maguey Grill - Chicken Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Elkhart, Indiana

I love the food and service my kids also love the restaurant. Just know this is our go to restaurant.

Service was good, prices are fine, but I've never had such bland and underseasoned Mexican food in all my life. The chips were stale as well. read more

Portion sizes were great! I normally eat all my plate, but couldn't this time. Food was excellent, great service and the price was well under what we expected. I'm glad a local mentioned this restaurant to us. The atmosphere in general was great. read more

With so many authentic Mexican options in our area, this is not my first choice. That said, food is good. Service is slow. read more

Let's just say if kitchen nightmares was still on, I would suggest this restaurant to Gordon Ramsey. People that run the place are very nice, but food is below par and service is not quick. Post-Sunday church lunch should be spent elsewhere. Although, it is bound to be better than Hacienda, I will commend them for that. read more

Our to go place for Mexican food... always fresh, and hot... colorful decor... friendly wait staff...

Seen a roach and owner said it happens. Terrible place. Health dept will be called Monday. Table next to us got up and left after seeing it. The other table by us was upset because they only got 1/2 of their food. YOU BEEN warned. Would not recommend. read more

We drive 20 mins every couple weeks just the get the quart of queso to go. Comes with an adequate amount of delicious homemade chips also come with a pint of so of salsa. I recommend getting a small container of their house made hot sauce. Mix a bit of that with the queso and read more

Place sucks we waited an hour to have half of our table get our food..... DO NOT GO HERE

Server was great but the food was terrible. We have been here in the past when visiting family in Goshen. It was always good food. We were totally disgusted with the food today. Tbe chuncky guacamole used to be wonderful tonight it was all pico and no avacado. Even asked for a second serving with more avacado and was assured it would be better...NOT. My husband was served his food long after the rest of us, 5 of us were finished eating. His catfish was nasty. With so many mexican restaurants in the area...we will never go back here. read more

The food was good. Not outstanding but still not bad. The orders were very large. You won't go away hungry! The service was good. Food came out of the kitchen fast and hot! read more

Just you typical authentic Mexican style restaurant. Wanted to try while visiting the area. It was ok. The atmosphere was a bit noisy but the decor was nice and Mexican style with bright colors and big booths. The chips and salsa were ok. Chips didn't seem very fresh though like most similar restaurants. The entrees took a while to come out and tasted good. I asked for quest on my burrito. It wasn't added so I asked for some to pour on it myself. Come to find out they charge $3 extra for that. Way over priced for a small drizzle of queso sauce. Wish pricing was more transparent. Overall a bit overpriced for what you get but taste wasn't bad. Probably would try somewhere else next time we want Mexican food in the area. The restroom was in really bad shape, didn't seem clean and the urinal was about to overflow with urine which was gross walking into that, really hope the kitchen is in better condition. Gave 2 stars because overall it falls a bit under par with other authentic Mexican styles restaurants. read more

I'll recommend them with a warning. Be absolutely sure what you are ordering. The beer is cold, the staff are nice and friendly. The tacos are really good IMO. BUT. Don't order the taco salad, or the nachos unless you you really meant to get a giant F ____ all of soup. Someone needs to teach them how to drain the ground beef before putting it on anything. Like chips. Or lettuce. a half inch of standing water in your salad. Or "nachos" Noooo buuueeeennnooooo. Mkay? read more

This is one of the best and most visited Mexican restaurants in Elkhart County. The food is always hot and tasty and though often busy, there seems to be plenty of servers to keep up. You will typically be seated within 10 minutes and once your order is placed you will likely receive your food within 10-15 minutes. The restaurant is well maintained and seem to be clean. I have eaten here many times and have never had a really bad experience. I give two thumbs up. read more

We had lunch here today as a party of 7. I loved that they sat us in a separate room and our server was fantastic! We had to send one meal back because they ignored an allergy note on our order, but when the issue was fixed promptly. The food was decent but not the best in the area. Note on the guacamole: it is mixed with sour cream and no one at our table would eat it. A better choice is the queso dip which was great! read more

Cost of Fajita for basic chicken is now 17.99 for single and they want an extra 3% if you use a card. So got an appetizer and 1 beer and 18.00 which wasn't bad, but not what I wanted. They are pricing themselves out of business. Place was empty on Saturday and this place used to be slammed and full. Negative signs on the front door and to charge 3% just to use a card and the costs going up over 50% on the entree's it no wonder the place was empty. Someone is greedy here. read more

El Maguey has been one of my favorite places to eat for a long time. Their food is so good, the cheese dip is the bomb, and you get so much bang for your buck! Cece and Justin are my favorite servers there. They do an amazing job no matter how busy they are.They are super friendly and make the experience that much better. The food comes out quickly and they never mess up my order. Overall it's just a fun, relaxing and great place to go and get some delicious food! read more

Chips salsa and beer were good. Great Service. Our server was very attentive and checked on us with perfect timing. Second round of drinks and chips were very fast. Have been here before and the food seems to be bland. Had a burrito with hamburger. No seasoning or flavor to the meat. If you want average tasting food at a great price, then this will be for you. read more

This restaurant is the most amazing place to eat if you like Mexican food to the salsa an the best service read more

El Maguey Grill - Taco salad - Mexican Near Me - Elkhart, Indiana

The food was really good - and delivered nice and HOT - and VERY fast - but our waiter totally forgot my friend's order of extra tomatoes and lettuce for his tacos. NEVER brought them. He was not charged, but, ..... Give this place a try for its authenticity, but insist on getting what you ordered. My spicy shrimp dish was excellent. They should serve two salsas for the warm chips - a mild and a medium, if not hot, heat choice too. Never been to a good Mexican place where they brought a single and mild salsa, only. read more

Great service, food comes out fast, and the margaritas are 1.99 Mon-Wed, CAN'T beat it!!

The answer is YES! Go here! EAT YOUR HEART OUT!!! The menu is huge, staff is friendly, food is great! Music is at a great volume, the restaurant is pleasant and inviting. Great choice read more

El Maguey Grill - Enchiladas suprimas - Mexican Near Me - Elkhart, Indiana

My star rating is for the food quality. Ordered a number 7 combo for lunch. Cheese enchilada, beef burrito and chicken taco. The brought all beef, my taco shell was hard shell which I can't stand. Typically Mexican restaurants will ask what type that you want. That wasn't the case here. It was laying on its side in a pool of obvious out of the can sauce that was poured on the burrito. When I picked it up the taco split and all the ground beef fell out. I didn't bother sending my order back to bring the originally ordered chicken. The ground beef had no flavor. It was bland and had an odd taste in the seasoning. I wouldn't expect the chicken to be anything special. Being that I was up since 3am driving from Chicago to an early morning meeting in the area it was 12 and I hadn't anything to eat and dealt with it. I was surprised that there was no rice, beans and lettuce / tomato. For the price I was expecting that but not a big deal. The waiter was polite and averagely prompt. The decor was very nice and colorful as many Mexican restaurants are but with the nice decor I would expect better food. When I'm back in the area I'll most likely not come back. A coworker chose this place out of convenience from Google but I tend to use Yelp and decide from star ratings. When he suggested this I saw a three star average but kept my mouth shut. read more

We ate here with some friends and the food was fantastic! But what really stole the show was our server, Raul. This guy was on point, funny, fast and accurate. I hope to get him as a server next time. read more

Went there based on the good reviews, the place was packed. Totally disappointed. The salsa was just pureed tomatoes - - - tasteless. I ordered the spicy burrito, no spicy there at all. If we lived in the area we'd never go back. read more

So so...... food. waitress had no idea about what tequilas where served in their margaritas. They do not mix with your choice either. Would have no reason to come here again. :-( read more

El Maguey Grill - Goofy Mexican NOT decor. - Mexican Near Me - Elkhart, Indiana

See all

Colorful fun place to go. Not very personable but good food and very consistently serve more than you can eat!

It seems like your phone is always screwed up and either get a verizon error message or a fax tone when you call in. Enjoy the food but trying to contact to place an order is a real challenge and needs to be addressed. read more

Family came here for dinner. Service was ok...I might be super sensitive but I got the impression our server didn't think we could afford to eat here. BEWARE, if you order anything extra you will be charged. My husband ordered extra sour cream and for two tablespoons of sour cream he was charge $1.99. Waiter did not come back to ask if we wanted more to drink.. I had to wave him down asking to get another drink. Trust me we won't be back. Food had little to no flavor. Kind of greasy...not impressed as I was told we would be. read more

Not much to say but great food and great drinks. Friendly service. Exactly what you want from a business. Recommend 100%!!

Poor service, we waited an hour after ordering, watching tables that had been seated after us receive their food, we're finally told that our order had never been put in and they were just starting our food, we were not checked on by the waitress in the mean time, no refills on our drinks and chips. read more

I honestly do not know why this place only has a 3 star review. This place always puts a smile on our face. I recommend the fajita quesadilla. That thing is amazing. Also the salsa here is some of the best in the area to us. Great service and the food is always hot. 5 stars from me. read more
