    They are at a new location on Brompton Avenue in Statesboro and the food is fantastic. Homemade salsa and guacamole, affordable lunch combos and great ambiance and service. Check it out when you can.

    You'll find an extensive menu, and they even have tamales! We popped in here for a late lunch and service was friendly, helpful and speedy. I thoroughly enjoyed my two beef tamales topped with red sauce, shredded chicken and cheese. My daughter loved her Chili Relleno! The chips and salsa are complimentary. We were starving and lunch hit the spot! I would certainly return to this restaurant if in the area again.

    We're back! This is hands-down, our favorite local Mexican restaurant. Had the Molcajete Volcán and a Michelada today, and they were both incredible! Wear your fat pants and bring your A game!

    I love El Maguey! I've been here many times and I've never been disappointed. We love their nachos, ceviche, black bean dip, and steak and shrimp. Their margaritas and salsa are also really good. If you go on a Friday or Saturday night, there may be a wait but the food is definitely worth the wait!

    Here's the menu for some yummy Mexican food at El Maguey in Brooklet, Georgia.

    Wonderful service and food! The cilantro in the salsa is a bit much so I always get the queso instead. Worth the stop.

    We had a satisfying lunch at El Sombrero Mexican Restaurant or "El Som" as the locals call it. I…read morethink this place is a rite of passage for people in Statesboro. This is the best restaurant I've been to in Statesboro yet. Here's what my wife and I had: * Mixed Chicken and Steak Lunch Fajitas Over Rice ($11.25) - cooked with bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes, and topped with cheese dip * Lunch Combo Special No. 1 ($9.25) - one chile relleno, one taco, beans and guacamole salad * Guacamole Dip - Small ($4.65) Everything was delicious. This is your standard Americanized Mexican restaurant, complete with complimentary chips and salsa (side note: the chips here are of the thicker, harder, and crunchier variety). I would say this place does the Americanized Mexican restaurant concept well and operates like a well-oiled machine (in business since 1989). Our entrees came out fresh and tasty, but the Guacamole Dip was a bit underwhelming. It looked and tasted like it had been sitting out a while. It was discolored whereas the guac that came with the lunch combo was fresh and vibrant. Service was good. We visited on a Friday for lunch and it was nice and busy, though not absolutely packed. Lots of families. This location on Buckhead Drive is the third and newest of the three "El Som" locations in Statesboro, having opened in 2008. It's relatively nice and known as the "Palace." The original location opened on Fair Road in 1989 and the second location opened in the Publix shopping center on Northside Drive circa 1993-1994.

The only downer was they were not serving alcohol at the time due to their liquor license being suspended. Other than that, I highly recommend El Maguey.

We called ahead of time to make sure that they had space because having been in the restaurant business for many years it was always so frustrating when people would come with a big group and at least not call ahead to see if we have space rather than just show up and expect the 12 people on a Saturday night could all fit at one table. Well, that could have been my first clue. And for the record, this was not my first choice and seeing that there's only 1-5 star review on their page. I would've not come at all. We get there in the place is nearly empty, but we had come a little early on a Saturday and thought OK maybe they just are not that busy. Well once we are seated and get settled first of all, they didn't have enough menus for all of us. There was literally almost no one else in the restaurant and they didn't have enough menus for 12 people. Take that in for just a minute. Then we find out that they lost their liquor license. Well, I don't drink often, but I do like a good margarita when I have Mexican food so that is strike two. It's not my favorite to write negative reviews. However, my hope in doing so is that the restauranteur will actually take into account what I've said and make some changes. The restroom was clean. That's always my first eyes into the restrooms to see whether or not they might keep the kitchen clean. They did a good job although they do need to do a little maintenance to make it even better. The place smelled of cleaning products. Actually not a good thing. Because when I'm coming to your establishment to eat food, the first thing that should hit me is the wonderful aroma of that food not the fact that you had to mask some major problem with cleaning supplies. Like I said there were only about 12 menus maybe even less because not all of us had a menu to begin with. Maybe they were 14 of us. This was several weeks ago and I should've done this then. There were a couple of server assistants that were young men who did the best job that they could, but you could tell that the owner/managers did not want them doing anything other than delivering chips and salsa. We had no silverware for ages and had asked several times. We received no straws even after several couple times. We asked for more napkins several times. The food was mediocre at best. Unfortunately, I can't find one good thing to say about the food. I know that a few people ordered the flan-like dessert. The texture was absolutely off. We are not in the area very often, and I highly doubt that I would ever go back. But if I did see that reviews were pouring in and they were very good. Excellent I might give it a try thinking that the owners made some changes. It's a great location, but they are lacking in too many ways.
