    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.

When you get there you order at the counter and then find you a table. There were plenty empty tables even though there were lots of people there. The ambience was nice, we were able to sit comfortably and carry conversation. My son and I ordered the catfish and shrimp combo, with a side of green beans, fries, and onion rings and it also comes with two hush puppies. The green beans were delicious. The hush puppies were good but I prefer just plain regular old hush puppies. These tasted like they had maybe jalapeño in it. They went spicy just a little kick to them. The serving size is a big portion for the combos. It came with three fish fillets. The fish was fried good but it lacked seasoning. The shrimp was good! We all actually liked the shrimp. The fries were good too there was just a lot. My son loved the onion rings. My husband ordered the jumbo shrimp combo and he loved his shrimp. They were fried perfectly. He also got a side of corn which was good. I saw this place on TikTok and that's what brought me here. Like I said it was good and I love the fact that it is made fresh right there,but it lacked seasoning. Oh and I also loved that it wasn't fishy, if that makes sense.

The…read morefood came out so fresh and hot that I could not eat as fast as I wanted to but no complaints there. Since it was my first time being able to get a daiquiri I took the chance and got a mango daiquiri. It had me spinning after a few sips but it was a perfect match with the food. The server was so polite and offered great alternatives if you wandered about mixing and matching menu items. My food ended up taking a while so they gave me an extra piece of fish and let's just say that I was certainly pleased with that gesture. I didn't eat it all In one setting, so I was able to take some home and actually have lunch the next day. The place was such a relaxed space and easy spot to consume your food.

The shrimp were tender and well seasoned, though not quite what I would consider jumbo. The snow crab legs werenot as plentiful as I'd prefer based on the description, but the texture was right where it needed to be. They broke cleanly and pulled easily, which made them enjoyable to eat. The eggs were actually one of my favorite parts. They held the seasoning really well and added an extra layer of flavor to the meal. I placed a pickup order, and the experience inside was just as pleasant. The space was clean, and the woman at the front was genuinely friendly. We had a quick conversation about the menu while I waited, which made the visit feel more personal. Overall, I would come back for the flavor, even if I am hoping for slightly more generous portions next time.

They had an additional list on top of what is on the menu. I chose a flavor I've never had in pie form. The German chocolate pie and it was very tasty. I loved the pecans and coconut.

I had the Voodoo Chicken, lunch portion with cheese grits and a side salad. The food was piled high. I cannot imagine eating a dinner portion. The pictures prove it.
