BEER BOTTLE CAP IN MY FOOD! I wanted to try this place for the first time and I went to take a bite of my quesadilla and there was a beer bottle cap cooked into my food! I've never been so disgusted in my life. I immediately went to vomit. This is so dangerous and violates so many health codes. Then when I went to show the hostess and the chef they offered a new food dish but I never want to eat anything prepared at that restaurant again. I just wanted the refund but they refused to give it to me until we made a scene. This was a terrible experience. The health department should close this place down. Do not eat here! read more

How would I describe the vibe here? It was so much energy. I would say it's like a big party atmosphere with a feel of a nightclub inside, but it's not big though. The weather was so beautiful outside that I chose to sit outside and just chill in the moonlight. It was finally time for me to relax. I had ordered the Blue Pijama, and my gf had the Pina colada. I tried some of her Pina colada, and it was super sweet, whereas my drink was really strong and you could totally taste the tequila. Lol. Well, I'm remember walking to the entrance, and there was a lady offering free shots with lime on top. I'm not sure what kind, since I didn't try it, but I can next time. Our waitress was super friendly, and she spoke mainly Spanish. My friend and I speak some conversational Spanish so we definitely were able to order things. One awesome aspect about this place is that it offers a ton of outside seating, and it is cute. This place is good for groups and also for dates. I have been here before and tried the food which is definitely worth it. I would absolutely recommend it to others. read more

El Maguey, where even your grandma would rock out to "Despacito" on karaoke night. Seriously, this place is so lively it makes Times Square look like a library. The food? On point. The service? Blink and your tacos are here. But the drinks? Imagine a sour mix swimming pool. Dive in at your own risk. If you're looking to chat, forget it. It's louder than the 7 train at rush hour. But if you want a night to remember--or not remember--this is your spot. read more

The food is terrible and extremely expensive. I was charged 19 dollar for 10 wings with nothing else. They charged me automatic gratuity on an order of fajitas, 10 wings and an order of nachos not should have not cost 97 dollars. No drinks. Water and 2 seltzers. read more

I was in the mood for some drinks and hookah. Turned out to be a night of karaoke and great music. I had their frozen passion fruit margarita and their mint hookah. Not only were their drinks great, their music selection was on point. The environment is fun and the service was great. I didn't have the chance to try their food but I will definitely be coming back. read more

Food 0/100 , increíble como hacen una estafa pedí unos nachos y lo que recibí fue un puño de Doritos talludos y un tiras de carne dura , y tapado de lechuga con la mínima pizca de queso y crema . Por un total de $19 es increíble . También una quesadilla que si los nachos no tenía ingredientes estás peor solo le pusieron dos pedazos de rábano y un poquito mejor dicho casi nada de ensalada , por $20 . Pero ni un deli hace mero castigo de comida por un total de $42.46 con los taxes que fueron 3.46 . Es increíble , si quiere ir a comer algo aquí mejor dicho no entre la estafa que hacen . no se como pueden decir restaurante mexicano cuando no tiene ni tantito amor por hacer la comida mexicana . Solo hacen quedar mal al nombre de COMIDA MEXICANA . read more

I wish I could give them ZERO stars. Through Grubhub/Seamless, I wasted 15 minutes of my life looking for a place to order, plus the time deciding what to order, and an additional 15 minutes only to be contacted by the restaurant 10 minutes after placing the order to be notified they "couldn't fulfill the order and I would 'need to cancel'." Ummm, no. You cancel. I understand the service industry is struggling right now, but don't waste my time allowing me to search and order. UNACCEPTABLE. read more

We walked in to a club ambiance on a Monday night. Not expected but also didn't t mind. Unfortunately our waiter was the only downfall here. She did not know the food/drink menu when we had questions due to food allergies. She had to repeatedly excuse herself and ask the kitchen for answers. Food was average and so was the service. read more

I'm sure the food is amazing. But we had the drinks and those are awesome. However, the customer service during the weekends has gotten worse, especially when it comes to karaoke scheduling. We have been coming here last year and almost always interludes for dancing between karaoke was like 5 to 10 minutes. And lately, interludes for dancing have been pushing from 25 to 45 minutes!! And it seems like the DJ is monopolizing the time of the karaoke DJ, so that there is very little time for anyone to sing. This is unfair as this place accommodates karaoke during the weekend (Friday to Sunday). And if they're just gonna make it almost all dance music every weekend with little time for karaoke, then why have karaoke in the first place!?!?! Clearly this is no fault of the karaoke DJ, because it seems the main DJ will keep playing any type of Latin dance in a repetitive cycle with no time for anything else. There's nothing wrong with that, but I feel if they keep up with that routine, then they should stop having karaoke nights. read more

Typical Mexican food. The guacamole was the best...and most expensive. It was creamy with the right amount of seasoning and flavor. I was a bit disappointed with the chips. I expected them to be warm. They were cold and some of them were a bit stale. I ordered the veggie tacos. The veggies were cut very large. While the dish looked appetizing, it lacked in flavor. It was just okay. read more

They advertise they do hookah as well serve food and drinks. That's not the case. Went in and asked about it, they were trying to say why they didn't offer it anymore but couldn't hear due to how high the music was & the people "trying" to do karaoke. Volume was up to 101 and there was a lot of feedback & they didn't seem to care. Couldn't hear person across from you & didn't have what I went there for in the first place. Told the lady we were leaving and she said she understands. So if the waitress understood, then I'm sure you all will understand. read more

El Maguey is a lovely and new addition to the Mexican restaurant scene in Jackson Heights, and it is well worth the trip. I dined here with my daughter for my birthday and we really enjoyed a most delicious chicken in mole sauce (such a big portion that we shared it), appetizer of delicious guacamole and guzzled down a pitcher of sangria. The service was attentive, professional and friendly. At some point after we had finished our meal, the restaurant got very quiet, and i started to hear the birthday song! They had listened when my daughter said it was my birthday - the entire restaurant staff came over to sing happy birthday while the music came over the sound system. It so choked me up! This brand new restaurant got it all right. (Went back the next day to get that chicken mole for el hub! This one's a keeper! read more

My advice is to NOT come here. Terrible food, worse service and they will SCAM you, beware! The prices on the menu do not match what they charge you, so be careful. Also, they will include a 20% gratuity (after taxes) on the bill without asking you. On top of that you are given an option to give an additional tip. They will charge you $8 for an order of chips and salsa and its a very small bowl with a tiny bowl of salsa. The servers don't care about you because they will get a tip no matter what. The food is of mediocre quality so definitely not worth paying $25 to $45 bucks for an item on the menu. Stay away, you'll regret coming here. Across the street, much better places. read more

Idk why this place doesn't have 5 starts this is my Go to whenever I'm in the Jackson heights area, the food is phenomenal I always get chicken nachos or shrimp tacos and it's a hit every single time. There sangrias is the best in town I promise even the pitchers are worth it shootouts to the bartender, they always have karaoke mainly Spanish music but I'm sure if you have an request they'll be more than happy to accommodate you staff here is very professional and friendly they have indoor and outside seating music is a bit loud so sometimes I'll sit outside to I can hair my company but I love this place drinks are nice and strong pricing is reasonable no hookah tho but you'll eat good and drink even better. read more

Mucho cuidado con este lugar. Te incluyen la propina y ni siquiera te dicen que porcentaje te están cobrando. Según mis cálculos, incluyen el 20% para un servicio que es bastante mediocre. El cantante de los fines de semana es bastante confianzudo. Los dueños trabajan bastante duro para mantener su local y no es justo que los empleados se lo dañen. Muy mal ! read more

THEY TIP THEMSELVES 20% WITHOUT your authorization. The service was a bit slow, food was good, the waitress took forever at the end to give us our check. Rarely checked on us. I was aiming to give $10 tip considering she forgot about us quite a bit. Total was $72.50, sent my cc in got back a receipt with the amount of 95.50. Charged herself over 18% tip. I didn't get an option of giving cash tip or the amount that I chose. Pay with cash or don't go at all. (Also we brought this up to another waitress about how our waitress charged herself a tip, and she said she was a promoter and was just helping her friend out. The owner might have a system that automatically does this.) read more

Food was ok enjoyed my fajitas but they made it really salty. The tax they added was about 10% not the 8.9% where we live. On a $30 bill the tax was $3.24, then on top of it they put a tip on, so not cool. read more

Save yourselves time and money. Came here to celebrate 5 de Mayo in hopes of a reasonable margarita to say the least. Well to start off, the menu was very limited because they claim this was the weekend menu. We started off with some guac and chips. Chips were your regular nachos from a bag...semi crunchy and stale. The guac came in a molcajete the size my kid's fist, and to top it off was flavorless. Along with this "exquisite" guac came two tiny dips of salsa and some unknown substance what appeared to be sliced mushroom in some sort vinaigrette - absolutely disgusting. My kid got some nuggets and fries and even he didn't like the nuggets. These were clearly refried and tasted weird. We ordered the entrées but these came out 25 minutes later. We ordered ribs in green sauce which appeared to be Huaxmole but were flavorless. I ordered salmon in maracuyá sauce. The salmon was clearly microwaved- dryer than my damn eyes! No sides until after I was done eating I received a plate of tostones- the only salvageable meal. They charged the guacamole as an entree- absolutely ridiculous! I just wanted to leave. Clearly this place is one shady business. They had a group of individuals come in with a dog and go to the back room. Do not come! The food is by far the worst I've tasted on northern boulevard, and overpriced! A disgrace to Mexican cuisine! If I could give them negative stars, I would. read more

The service was horrible. The food is not good at all. I asked the waitress to bring me guacamole and chips before my food and she brought it with my food. The chicken was disgusting! The waitress didn't even bother to check if we were good. The worst $100 I ever spent in my life. Maria, I did tell her and nothing was done ! read more

I came for the booze; and stayed for the conversation. One random evening, I was hopping to and from places in Jackson Heights and my friend highly recommended this place for the delicious and interesting margaritas. I was very pleased that El Maguey had the feeling of a local neighborhood cantina/restaurant, whose substance is defined by its drinks and food. I will be honest, I did not have any food (or special beverages) during my visit. Upon entering the small bar, we were greeted by the bartender, whose name I forget, but he was very social and friendly. Since there were not a lot of people in the restaurant, we pretty much chatted with him during our visit. El Maguey has an interesting margarita menu . . . yet I just had tequila on the rocks. I guess that I did not have a taste for margaritas during the visit, but I wanted tequila. Although I did not have food and specialty drinks, there was something about El Maguey that really made me feel at home. And by "at home", I mean sitting in my local, neighborhood bar. Even though El Maguey is a bit out of the way for me, I could see myself going back if I am in the neighborhood. Maybe I will try some of the food and specialty margaritas during my next visit. read more

I came here for "Taco Tuesday" because that's what I put in the search bar. When I got there, there was no special "Taco Tuesday," but the ambiance was great so I stayed. I'm happy that I did because the food was really good. I had the fish tacos and they were delicious. Happy hour was still going on so I ordered a mango margarita and a passion fruit margarita, both were delicious, not too strong. If you like strong drinks, maybe you would mention it to the waitress. She was helpful and patient. They make a pineapple tequila in house, that I was afraid of because I already had two drinks, that was also delicious and nothing to be afraid of. All in all it was a great experience. I would go back. read more
