Food -5* Service-5* Ambiance-4.5* This is as close to perfection as you can get! We were seated after a 10 min wait on a Friday evening. The waiter was so attentive and was running back and forth with our request for more guacamole, salsa, spicy salsa and warm chips. The portions for these are tiny and delicious, so it's no surprise that we wanted seconds and thirds! The chips is a huge portion though. The food came out promptly. The spinach enchiladas with extra veg was lip smacking good. The veggie fajitas were the best I have ever had! The side of grilled jalapeños really hit the spot! DH had a shrimp special dish which was grilled shrimp on a bed of lettuce and rice. He got a side order of tortilla and cleaned his plate. The food was so good that I forgot to take pictures; next time there will be pictures too, promise! read more

Took double of the time they mentioned it would take to seat us and the staff were very disrespectfu.

El Maguey always has great food & service...even when busy on a Friday night!!! We recently sat on the patio and enjoyed the atmosphere. Our waitress was busy but attentive to our needs. The food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this Mexican restaurant...you won't be sorry. read more

We love El Maguey but they consistently raise their prices and the quality has been going down. For example, every time we order this queso for $7.50, they fill it halfway. It just feels like they're no longer focused on customer service and more on just getting people out the door. We've been customers for 8 years and hope we don't have to find somewhere else to go. read more

El Maguey - Mexican Near Me - Grover, Missouri

Looks fool a bit here. It looks a little touristy, but the food was delicious, nice big portions of the entree and not just all rice and beans on a plate. We were so happy with our meals, and mine was still delicious the next day for lunch! Highly recommend. read more

The food here was amazing and affordable! My wife and I had the tacos and they were incredibly authentic. The waitstaff was great and the service was quick. I would highly recommend to anyone! Also, they have happy hour 11am-6pm!! read more

Our server was rude and asked what we wanted, rolled her eyes, and never came back with what we asked for. I am a regular here and love this place but this was super disappointing. read more

Love this place, reliable service every time we go. And we go a lot. Favorite place to get Mexican food. The fajitas are delicious with great portions and the service is great! read more

We popped in Friday night with a couple of friends. Surprisingly we were seated right away and only noticed a couple of times through the evening when anyone was waiting for a table, and it didn't seem to be long. Our server was very attentive and friendly. Chips & salsa were good. Margarita was pretty good, too. I had the street tacos, which was marked as a new menu item: four tacos in soft corn tortillas (1 carnitas, 1 steak, 1 chicken, and 1 fish). Filling and great tasting! We'll be back. read more

We had a wonderful dinner at El Maguey in Wildwood! Our server was great, the food was delicious and my dad got a tequila shot and a song for his birthday! Very clean, nice place and wonderful area of town! I loved our seating in between all the windows. read more

El Maguey - Awesome seats in the window! - Mexican Near Me - Grover, Missouri

I've been to this location twice so far and was lucky to have the same server both times! I believe her name is Esperanza (not sure if it's first or last name). But she was amazing! She was super nice and attentive, always made sure our drinks were filled. The food was good as always, I had the beef taco salad and my s/o had the Chile Colorado. Both were delicious. Definitely recommend this location! read more

El Maguey has become our go to Mexican restaurant! Everything we've gotten there has been really good! The Molcajete and Carnitas are fantastic and theres a chicken dish with mushrooms that is really tasty as well. (Can't remember the name) The margaritas and chips and salsa are also delicious. The staff is always friendly especially at the bar. Great place! read more

They were rude and didn't serve me. Then the manager gave a ridiculous excuse as to why I sat there for over an hour and was not offered food and treated me like shit!! I would stay as far away as possible because another couple I ran into at a pub down the street also said that this sanevel maguey was rude and disrespectful to them so I told all my friends and family to stay away from there!! read more

Nice Caldo Tlalpeno. My wife loved the Pollo San Jose. And the Margeritas did have enough Tequila. Nice lunch out in a raining day!!! It is not a fancy restaurant but is is nice, decent food, good prices. Enjoy!!! read more

Great food. The staff there is SO SO FRIENDLY!! It's very clean and the food is great. Large portions but amazing. HIGHLY recommend the fajitas and nachos and quesadillas. It's great! read more

My friends and I go to this location all the time (1-2 times per week) and have been for at least 5 years. There are times in the summer when we sit outside and have 15-20 people eating and drinking alcohol. We will NEVER be going back. I would give zero stars if I could. We had a table of 6 in the bar watching Sunday football. The server was fabulous but the owner, Francisco Limon, was extremely rude and unprofessional. He came to our table and scolded us like we were children because someone swore while watching the playoff game and was very condescending telling us "this is a family restaurant." I actually thought he was kidding at first. There were 2 other people sitting at the bar having drinks and watching football and NO CHILDREN. I have never been treated like that at any restaurant OR bar. Such a disappointment as we really like the staff, food and margaritas. The owner should take a course in "How to Treat Customers." Horrible. read more

It appears the kitchen staff has been replaced or upped their game since I gave them a 1 star review about a year ago. Depending on where you're from you may or may not know the bar for Mexican food in set pretty low in St. Louis. On the St. Louis scale this place deserves 4 stars, or better than the typical place ground beef and queso sauce Mexican restaurant. read more

What you expect from a prototypical Mexican restaurant. Fast, tasty, well priced. Never a bad experience! read more

First off all I can say was the food was good and then it went down hill with the service. A couple of people in our group were running a little late due to serve weather in the area. The waiter kept asking if they were going to show up and we said give them a few minutes. This went on for several iterations stressing out the family. Then he even asked us to move to another in the middle of our meal because we only had five out of six people. I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

We visited this restaurant today, for the first time in a while, due to Covid. We have always loved this location, but todays visit was not good. The waiter was excellent, but he had too many tables to wait on die to manpower shortages. It took over 45 minutes from when we sat down, until the food arrived. My wife ordered veggie fajitas, but there was hardly any food brought out to her. There was two small pieces of broccoli, there carrot slices, five 1/2 slices of summer squash. Three green pepper strips, and the tomatoes and onions were almost unrecognizable due to overcooking. Hardly any beans also. This food should be about $4, but it was $11.50. Will not be back. read more

My FAVORITE Mexican restaurant. I've been going here for over 10 years because of the amazing food and great staff. Food never takes too long and you know that whatever you order will be good. Everyone I know loves this place!! read more

I have lived in a lot of states including some out west and this was one of the worst TexMex restaurants I have ever had. Stick with the margaritas, the food is terrible. read more

Terrible service! Our waitress was snotty and lazy. Our food came out wrong and asked for the manager and she was just as bad. Will never come here again -- Wl Maguey in.Chesterfield is much much better read more

This was within walking distance of our hotel and we hadn't eaten Mexican on our vacation so that's how we chose. I had the fajita taco salad and M had the southwest chicken salad. Both we good and flavorful. Mine was full of grilled chicken that was seasoned well. We sat on the patio. A lot of traffic going by but a nice breeze and bugs weren't bothersome. read more

Used to love this location but it has gone down hill as of late. A few weeks ago, my family went and they forgot our food. We waited for over an hour and a half before departing hungry. Most recently, they denied me alcohol claiming my REAL ID was fake. I am 23 and have been served here many times before. The waitress and manager were rude. They spoke to me like I was one of the 18 year olds they regularly serve alcohol to. Get a new ID scanner and better customer service. read more

Skip this location if you're celiac, also known as gluten free. Server was not knowledgeable about celiac./gf choices or just didn't care. No school today for our son due to getting sick from their food. Gluten free is not choice for some of the population. read more

I was so excited to eat Mexican today, and so we decided on this place. I had the #1 lunch special (Speedy Gonzales), which is a norm for me and I was not happy with my food, as were the people with me. My cheese enchilada wasn't cooked and maybe Luke warm at best when it was served to me. My aunt ordered a steak chimichanga and was given a pork one, and my niece had the chicken nugget meal and it wasn't even edible. If this place was busy, I could understand, but it was quiet. I will eat elsewhere, next time I'm visiting St. Louis. read more

Stopped by for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Place was over-staffed, but we were under-served the entire time. Wasn't busy at all, but our waiter and all others studiously ignored us after taking our order. I actually prefer inattentive waitstaff, but they went beyond the call of duty here. Food was a pile of ho-hum: The fajitas couldn't even be bothered to sizzle. Looked like they had been left under the heat lamp too long waiting for our server to swing by off a break. I had a burrito and was the only one who ended up with multiple visits to the "CEO's office" the next day. Should have gone with the heat lamp irradiated fajitas... read more

I specifically look forward to coming home to St Louis just so I can eat here (I mean, other than seeing my family of course), mainly because I am seriously obsessed with the white cheese dip. I can't find it anywhere in NYC! I literally drown my food in it, and then feel guilty afterwards. The food itself is pretty good - standard Americanized Mexican food. I usually order one of the chimichangas. The food is hot, you get free (and warm) tortilla chips & salsa, and the service is fast and friendly. The margaritas are sweet and strong. The restaurant is very casual and you get an overall good meal for low prices. Great addition to the WIldwood Towne Centre. read more

This is one of the nicest El Maguey's I have been to by far. The location is prime, if you're in the Wildwood area. You have an option of seating both indoors and outdoors. Indoors is very spacious, you aren't crammed and there is light streaming everywhere that gives is a very airy feel and look. The staff is super nice, and they are always around to fill your drinks and your chips. Gotta love those chips! We usually hit it up at lunch time, and after running around, the food hit the spot. The lunch portions are great in size, and they always fill you up. They come out in record time and the plates are extremely hot indicating that its truly ready for consumption. read more

This place was pretty mediocre. We went there during prime lunch time and there was barely anyone in the restaurant. We were quickly greeted and seated. The staff was fabulous. Our waitress was the absolute sweetest and was very attentive to our needs. Once thing I really liked about this place, was that they gave each person at the table their own bowl of salsa. For those of you that are germaphobes, this is a nice touch. I ordered lunch steak fajitas, and they were just ok. Nothing special to set them apart from every other restaurant. I will say that the lunch prices were a couple dollars more expensive than similar places. I might come back here again, just because of the convenience though (they are located close to my grandparents). read more

A M A Z I N G Salsa. I am not a salsa person, but their salsa is so good. Everything I have tried on the menu is great and there are so many options. The margaritas are great and you can get frozen or on the rocks. Mango is my favorite. I love the outdoor option to sit and the staff and service are on top of it and so friendly. read more

We love Mexican food and this place has some of the best! Staff is always friendly to our family, the margaritas are wonderful. We love the volcan fajitas which if you like spicy, you will love them too! We are thankful that this place is close! read more

This is our favorite Mexican place in town and also our favorite of all the El Maguey's in town. We frequent it several times a month. The food is consistently good, service is generally great, and the atmosphere is good. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because on occasion you'll get an inexperienced server who takes a long time to get you the check or isn't very attentive, but that's not MOST of the time. Most of the time, service is great. read more

Two Words! "El Bechtel". Love the margaritas and the great service! The vegetarian fajitas are awesome! read more

You'll find us here almost every Thursday night for the taco and margarita specials. The food comes out fast and hot. Everything that I've had from here is delicious. Even the queso is a special recipe. We love our El Maguey. Also, they have the best staff! They are always friendly and attentive! read more

Food is great macho nachos!!! Drinks are always very strong and yummy. Even when I run in on my lunch breaks they always have everything ready. read more

Go-to Mexican food. My family and friends always enjoy the food, atmosphere and service. If your expectations are for a great neighborhood Mexican restaurant, they'll definitely meet or exceed! read more

Excellent service and extremely nice staff! They were able to accommodate our group of 15-20 on very short notice TWO nights in a row over the weekend. Both nights, the service was on top of everything and were extremely nice to work with! Would definitely recommend this great place! read more

Will never return to this restaurant!!! Incompetent management.... Extremely rude manager Francisco told me after the hostess seated my party outside for my nephews 6th birthday that we will have to move to inside or leave the restaurant because the table was already taken by another party that called that morning to ask for outside seating that was not there yet...and at the same time he kept repeating that we do not take reservations... I called 3 days prior to let the staff and management know that we would be there at that time that day for that amount of people and I was told no guarantees but we will do are best there may be a wait because we do not take reservations. I told them I understand and I will get there early to make sure we can get seated quickly outside area...after I was rudely removed from the table the manager Francesco told me sorry we do not take reservations and this table was for someone else I ask when did the other party arrive he told me after we did I ask when did the other party call he said this morning and we do not take reservations then I was told if you do not like inside get out of the restaurant and if you don't leave I will call the police then the manager Francisco proceeded to call 911 on his cell phone and put his phone to my face to show me that he dialed...I never experienced something like that before and I would highly recommend that know one goes to this establishment again as long as this manager Francisco is in charge the worst management I have ever experienced and I will be reporting this incident to the Better business bureau...I was refused service and felt very disrespected by this manager Francisco.... read more
