    My ribeye came out just how I asked, with a beautiful crust and tender inside. I liked that it had a natural beefy flavor without needing a ton of seasoning. The portion size was generous and left me full. Their wine list was small but had a couple solid options. The place wasn't too noisy and had comfortable seating. Service was decent, not the best but not bad. Overall, I'd recommend it.

    The steak was tender and full of flavor, definitely the highlight of my meal. I got the house special and it came with grilled mushrooms and onions. Everything tasted freshly made and well seasoned. The staff was helpful and didn't hover too much. It's a good spot for a simple, satisfying steak dinner. Prices were fair for the portion size. Would recommend for a chill night out.

    The tacos had such a great balance of flavor and spice. The meat was tender and the toppings added great texture. Super casual spot with quick service. I could easily eat three more without even thinking.

    #1 Lunch Special

    Check in/date of this review 2/10/23 A good, solid OkieMex restaurant. On our previous visit, we were very pleased with the food and service. I had the Chilis Poblano; large peppers filled with chicken and covered with cheese. A huge meal, with enough left over for tomorrow. I didn't check to see if they were still on the menu, but if they are I recommend them. We are back. Today we selected from the lunch menu. The El Maguey menu has many combinations; still offered at bargain prices. We had two #1 lunch specials (a chili relleno, beef taco and beans) and two sodas. It all came in at pennies under $20 (without a tip) Filling plates of delicious Mexican food. El Maguey is still one of the best Mexican restaurants in Claremore.

    Food was great. Service is excellent. Kids love it. Eaten here several times. You HAVE to try the Torta

    What a disappointing meal. As you can see the portions were small and the flavor was nothing special.

    Food is excellent. We don't have to eat everything covered in Queso. Red and Green sauce options. Great tacos!

    Their homemade tortillas make their fajitas the best! Wouldn't mind getting the recipe for them. ;)

    Lunch service was prompt and food was really tasty. I loved the chips & salsa. The chips were thick…read moreand crunchy with a nice corn flavor. The salsa was a good texture and the spice was mild, just like I enjoy. Monday is enchilada Monday. I got chicken & spinach enchiladas in a poblano cream sauce and it was delightful. The sauce was unique but that chicken! I think the chicken is grilled very nicely to bring out such a great flavor. The rice is good. I'd eat here again! Oh and bonus points for cute bathroom decor. I really got a kick out of the ladies room pics of cats. I wish I would have gotten a peek at the mens room which I'm sure had more pics of dogs. I love the sense of humor.

    Today I had to run to Claremore over lunch, so I took advantage of the opportunity to try El…read moreBanquete. TLDR: Great food, nice interior, decent prices. I hit the door right at 11:45 and was promptly seated, swapping a menu, chips and salsa for a drink order and a small queso. The menu is reasonably large, but not overly so. Plenty of options to choose from for almost anyone. I'd already seen they had Chile Verde on the menu, so I zeroed in on that like a fat dog on a chicken leg. Almost immediately, the queso hit the table. The salsa was out of this world good. I seriously almost ordered a pint to go, it was so good. Not hot at all, but rich with tomato flavors and subtle heat and spices. The queso was thin, and stayed workable throughout the meal, which is a huge plus for me. Flavorwise, it was slightly rich, very Monetery Jack flavored with noticeable hints of jalapeno. Great queso. My entree hit the table quickly, while I was still face deep in queso and chips. Beatifully plated, I hoped the taste lived up to the appearance.... and it did. While it was all good, surprisingly the rice turned out to be the unexpected star. It takes effort to make a simple rice dish standout like this. Light and fluffy, the flavor was borderline intense, for rice. It had a hearty undertone that I couldn't place, but I loved it. A lot. Nothing but rice... no corn, no peas, no nonsense, no kidding. The Chile Verde was outstanding. Probably one of the top three I've had in the area. Not sure if they slow cooked the pork with the sauce like is proper, but if I can't tell, then I'm not gonna care. The meat was properly shredded, tender and moist, and full of both meaty and saucy flavor. The beans were also really well done. Well colored (not gray), and with some noticable flavoring in the chile powder spectrum, I dipped chips into them until they were gone. Overall, nothing about my experience was less than great. My server was amenable enough, but didn't really engage in any interaction. No issues there, just a difference in styles, that didn't detract at all. With the queso and an iced tea, the bill was just over $22, and for what I got, I came away quite satisfied.
