We hit this place up in a trip to check out Mozingo Lake, based on the other reviews and they were spot on! We were seated right away, the staff was friendly and we got chips and salsa immediately (the mark of any good Mexican place.) The menu was a bit overboard with the number of options, I see that a lot lately. It's is sometimes better, folks. Anyway, the portions were large and came out quickly. They were also delicious! I should've taken notes on what everyone got, but I can assure you that no one was disappointed. Just wish this place was closer to home! read more

Stopped for an early dinner with two others. Ordered the beef nachos. Worst I ever had. Looked like cheeseburger soup poured over a few chips. Looked nothing like the picture in the menu. However, the two with me said their meal was good. G read more

The food was very disappointing. The fajitas appeared to have been cooked much earlier in the day and remained in a crock-pot type setting as the meat and vegetables were extremely soupy and lacking flavor. This transferred also to their fajita nachos, which created a soggy concoction. The service was good and staff tried to make my order right by allowing me to get another entree, but unfortunately the fajita meat impacted the replacement entree. Ambiance was well lit and the dining area was clean. read more

Incredible food and service. Building was clean and very spacious. Only problem is that I ate too much! read more

El Maguey - Fajitas Hawaii - Mexican Near Me - Maryville, Missouri

Wednesday was the Margarita special so I, of course, had to test one out. The drink was huge and a great deal for $4. As usual, in a Mexican restaurant, I ate way too many chips before the meal came. I liked that each person got their own salsa dipping bowl. I got the chicken chimichanga. I asked for the cheese sauce on the side and they brought out this huge bowl of cheese that we used to dip chips into. Yum. The chimi was good. Refried beans and rice served on the side. Lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and guacamole served with the chimi as well. Service was fast and friendly. We enjoyed our dinner. read more

Good basic Mexican food. Similar to all the other NWMO Mexican restaurants. Not bad, but nothing special. Good value

Fantastic selection of food, service is great, and the salsa is great. We had a great family dinner!

Pretty good food! The service is good but not always the best at certain times. You can get in there and out really quick some times and other times it takes forever waiting on the check. read more

El Maguey always serves quickly, and has great drinks! Service is good most of the time, rarely disappoints. My favorites are the Ranchero Bowl, Chicken Suizo, and Arroz con Pollo. read more

THE BEST! The best service, the best food, the fastest ever. When I say fast, I mean I didn't even have time to pour another bowl of salsa before it came out! Definitely my new fav. The vegetables were so good, I love the variety- I got Arroz con Pollo, it came with chicken and rice, topped with cucumbers, broccoli, squash, carrots, and cauliflower, topped with cheese! Very impressed!!! read more

El Maguey - Arroz con Pollo- 1/3 ate - Mexican Near Me - Maryville, Missouri

Being part Mexican, living in San Diego and taking frequent trips to Tijuana and Rosarito, I'm spoiled by being surrounded by amazing and authentic Mexican food. Admittedly, I was rather skeptical about eating "Missouri Mexican food" during my visit to Maryville, but this cuisine was legit! I think they should open one in San Diego! Service was top-notch and friendly. Paulina was especially friendly and remembered my aunt and uncle by name. Try the fajitas Volcán. Probably the best fajitas I've ever had! Margaritas we're pretty good, too. ¡Estómogo feliz! Time for a siesta... read more

Love love love El Maguey! Best Mexican food in NWMO by a mile! Great service too! Staff is always welcoming & friendly!

Normally when you walk in to a Mexican restaurant you get an authentic Mexican vibe, but at this one it is just dingy and looks like an old Chinese restaurant. The food is okay but not worth the price. If you don't eat Mexican a lot this might be okay but I recommend finding somewhere else. read more

Friendly staff, good service, and what I've tried from the menu was tasty. If you've been to the St. Joseph location, you've pretty much got the scoop. This location has pretty wide open seating, with high capacity. I visited once during a heavy work load, and was not left waiting long for anything. If I were asked if anything at all seemed off to me, I might mention the lighting. Seemed kind of bright and uneven. Like I mentioned, it's a big area, mixing florescent with incandescent may be the issue. At any rate, I wasn't disappointed. Of the two Mexican restaurants in town, I'll likely stick with this one. read more

We have eaten here twice and ordered to go once, ever time the food has been delicious! I am a huge fan of pozole and finally ordered it tonight. I was not disappointed! Service has always been awesome I look forward to coming back and would recommend el maguey to anyone! read more

I always ask for no onions. I always get onions. Service is fine, beer is cold, but those aren't why I go there. I don't ask for much, just no onions.....but they always turn up in my food. So....no thanks. read more

Prices are fairly high, but the food and service is great. A lot to choose from on the menu, both food and tasty drinks. Portions are also pretty good sized and you get what you pay for. read more

The quesadilla was excellent as well as the chimichanga with sirloin tips!! The rice and beans superb. The quest seemed funny and once I tasted it the quest was perfect. Maryville for a small town packs a huge punch on the food scene. read more

Great place! Food is fresh and tasty. Salsa is very good. Carne Asada is my favorite. They need a table with a large flower arrangement or something under the chandelier in the middle of the large dining area to break up the room and keep the noise down. read more

If you are looking for authentic Mexican food in Missouri than El Maguey is a must eat. Whenever you walk into the restaurant you get a Mexican vibe. The staff will bring you chips and salsa as soon as you are seated. I would recommend getting some queso as an appetizer. For your meal there is tons to choose from. I would suggest getting the Shrimp Nachos. The only problem that I have is that sometimes it takes awhile to get seated. Overall great place and great staff and even better food. read more
